Is climate crisis really an economic threat? - Land and Climate Review Bertie speaks to Ståle Holgersen about his new book 'Against the Crisis: Economy and Ecology in a Burning World' and the relationship between ecological and economic crises.

I've tried to get a grip on Latour, but not managed (yet).
Recommend Ståle's book "Against the crisis" and this podcast for summary.

Detta är en kollaps för människosynen, och ett direkt angrepp på en sårbar minoritet, personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Det är precis lika illa som att säga "judar ska inte kunna bli svenska medborgare". Men funkofobin är så utbredd i vårt samhälle att det inte registreras.

inte läst så många som jag gärna skulle vilja. Men top tre är väl:

Allt av Ilan Pappe

Hollow Land (Weizman) för oss planerare och arkitekter.

Carbon Democracy (Mitchell) för oss som arbetar med oljans historia.

+ Andreas Malm som knyter ihop sina två världar.

+ ser fram till nya till Hanieh.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

«the future might come with greater challenges for delayers than deniers, as fabricating the truth might be easier than constantly coming up with new and ‘plausible’ arguments for expanded production of fossil fuels in a burning world.»

Johannes Klenell: Vill ni bli rika och få ligga, grabbar? Läs det här! Debatten om läsfrämjande har inget självförtroende. Så blir det i ett land som gett upp om bildning som ett färde bortom det rent framgångsmonetära.

Det råder läskris i Sverige. Facklitteraturen är nästan död. Jag läste en artikel av deckarförfattaren Pascal Engman i Expressen om hur han ska göra Sverige till världsledande i läsning som fick mig att hata samtiden.
Här får ni läsa varför.

Det har varit återkommande trender i israeliska sociala medier där folk (företrädesvis unga) avhumaniserar och hånar palestinier och gläds över deras lidande och död. Det här är en social dynamik som inte kommer att kunna brytas utan yttre reaktioner och tryck.
