Dear Spectre, Posting here a recent interview of French historian Christophe Bonneuil, meticulously translated to English by Crystelle Vu:
Thoroughly recommended reading, not only as it deeply implicates the near future of Europe itself. //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------> 'Climate and collapse: Only Through the Insurrection of Civil Societies Will We Avoid the Worst' Are we under the threat of an imminent "collapse" as a result of global warming and the over-exploitation of resources? For the historian Christophe Bonneuil, there is no question: major social, economic and geopolitical upheavals have already been triggered and will only accelerate. Instead, the issue needs to be repositioned, in turn inciting "political thinking" of the current situation: who will be the winners and the losers? How can we exert an influence on the nature of these changes? Mass migrations, risk of conflicts over resources: despite his brutal observation of this emerging world, the historian appeals to avoid the trap of a "romanticism" of collapse. "Another end of the world is possible," he says. It is up to civil societies to write the final scenario. https://www.activisme.fr/climate-and-collapse/ //<----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Globally warm regards, -- Julian Oliver https://julianoliver.com https://criticalengineering.org PGP https://julianoliver.com/key.asc Beware the auto-complete life
