‘Excellent discussion between @Jesse Damiani and sustainability scholar Wim Carton on ecological overshoot and the many carbon dioxide removal strategies that fossil capital is exploiting to prolong itself for as long as possible. I thoroughly loved this interview, especially the discussion towards the middle and the end about carbon offset markets and carbon capture methods.
‘This is an important issue I’ve talked about before on numerous occasions, including with Jesse. Whether you’re talking about offsets, cap-and-trade, carbon taxes, or other market incentives under the regime of late-stage capitalism, these approaches are all far weaker at lowering emissions and pollution compared to more direct interventions, like state-led industrial strategy and investments. China is exhibit A on this point. And carbon capture has always been an obvious corporate boondoggle to allow fossil capital to pollute as much as possible while kicking the can down the road on the necessary solutions for our ecological challenges.
‘Wonderful discussion all around. Highly recommend this one.’
