The most recent documentary from @ARTE shows the infernal cycle of #pesticides. Banned pesticides are exported by European companies and make their way back to Europe in the form of Brazilian oranges, melons, soya and coffee. youtube.com/watch?v=V5p2Ge…

Just days ago the world rightly condemned the slaughter of civilians, on clear moral principle. Now the Israeli government is weaponzing that moment to *slaughter yet more civilians*, this time with the full backing of the US, EU and much of the media. It is chilling.

This is such an important point.  High income countries *do not need* more GDP growth in order to fund universal public services, a job guarantee, and rapid decarbonisation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Taxing the rich is not about taking "their" money. It is about curtailing their command over *our* collective labour and resources so we can redirect *our* productive capacities away from serving elite accumulation and toward what we know is necessary for well-being and ecology.

Capitalism will never fall on its own. It will have to be pushed. The accumulation of capital will never cease. It will have to be stopped. The capitalist class will never willingly surrender its power. It will have to be dispossessed.

People vote against mainstream green policy because they fear it will exacerbate their economic insecurity, which is pervasive under capitalism. If you want green policy to succeed you have to abolish economic insecurity. Universal public services, a job guarantee, living wages.

Of course that's your contention. You're an economist who just heard about degrowth. You just got finished reading some quick-and-dirty critique – the latest piece in The Economist probably – and you’re convinced that degrowth is unnecessary because we can green growth.

As climate-related damages hit, remember that this crisis is not due to generic "human activity". Excess emissions are due overwhelmingly to the core states of the global North, and the ruling classes that control the systems of production, energy and national legislation.

Rich states trap global South countries in debt, forcing them to extract and export fossil fuels (and other resources) to service it. Debt also prevents GS governments from investing in green transition. Climate is a colonial problem. Abolish the debt. theguardian.com/global-develop…

In this piece I debunk the false dichotomy between technology and degrowth. monthlyreview.org/2023/07/01/on-…

Scientists are increasingly questioning the prevailing green growth paradigm. According to a new research survey of nearly 800 climate researchers, the vast majority (73%) either supported degrowth or agrowth.

Overall, I'm disappointed that @TheEconomist runs such a sloppy piece on an event that was historically unprecedented.

#Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world. We all have it in our bodies. On the journey of making this film, I have learned how systemic these effects are. For human health, for environmental health and for the biosphere. It must be banned.” Jennifer Baichwal

The research is clear: Highly Hazardous Pesticides – including paraquat – can be removed from agriculture without affecting crop yields. International experts, farmers, and farmworkers agree: it’s time to transition to agroecology.
