Excellent- More about One Planet, Many Worlds - The Climate Parallax
The pursuit of a good life based on an insatiable appetite for energy sourced from fossil fuels damages the geobiological system that supports the existence of interrelated forms of life, leading to the collapse of the global and planetary in human history.

Climate change presents a complex and challenging dilemma for humans. It is challenging to relinquish the unequal and rapidly escalating pursuit of a fulfilling life fueled by an insatiable desire for energy derived primarily from fossil fuels. However, scientific consensus indicates that this pursuit harms the geobiological system that sustains interconnected life forms, including our own. From this perspective, the planet becomes a unified entity. While financial and extractive capital has a global influence on humans, it perpetuates divisions along multiple axes of inequality. Their worlds are diverse, and their politics remain predominantly global rather than planetary. In the narrative presented here, Chakrabarty delves into the temporal and intellectual fault lines that delineate the collapse of the global and the planetary in human history.
Climate change represents a profound quandary for humanity. It is arduous for humans to abandon the unequal and yet accelerating pursuit of a good life fueled by an insatiable appetite for energy derived predominantly from fossil fuels. Nevertheless, scientists assert that the same pursuit damages the geobiological system that supports the existence of interconnected life forms, including our own. The planet, thus perceived, is one. The global sway of financial and extractive capital connects humans technologically, yet it perpetuates divisions along multiple axes of inequality. Their worlds are diverse, and their politics remain predominantly global rather than planetary. In the narrative presented here, Chakrabarty continues to explore the temporal and intellectual fault lines that delineate the collapse of the global and the planetary in human history.
