The Progress of This Storm
The Progress of This Storm: Nature and Society in a Warming World | Andreas Malm
2 posts | 1 to read
An attack on the idea that nature and society are impossible to distinguish from each other In a world careening towards climate chaos, nature is dead. It can no longer be separated from society. Everything is a blur of hybrids, where humans possess no exceptional agency to set them apart from dead matter. But is it really so? In this blistering polemic and theoretical manifesto, Andreas Malm develops a counterargument: in a warming world, nature comes roaring back, and it is more important than ever to distinguish between the natural and the social. Only with a unique agency attributed to humans can resistance become conceivable.

I‘m working late outside in this rain this evening so things could be better, but they could be a lot worse from the way they‘re looking this lunchtime

Next step in me being an unrepentant broken record about climate change ✊

My local council did an online consultation yesterday on its new environmental and waste management strategy. It took 2 people with elite degrees to read their 67 page consultation document and get to paragraph 5.1.1.4 where you realised they had no specific environmental regulations at all. Angry. Gathering citations for them.

gradcat Keep at it...you can never be diligent enough when we still have people who say things like (and I quote), “People can‘t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming [sic]? Please come back fast, we need you!” And there it is: shiny tweets from you-know-who, and god only knows how many other people don‘t know the difference between climate & weather. So—you go 👊🏼 5y
