Climate change has become more significant within sociology and in the wider world in recent years.
When one see out pathetic efforts to tackle the forthcoming disasters you would not be blamed to think that we are all blinkered.
When it comes to understanding the consequences of allowing catastrophic capitalism to produce profit we are ignoring the warnings.
This is to say that, as capitalism has progressed, the contradictions within the system have only grown and will continue to do so.
The climate has become collateral damage to the pursuit of profit.
However there is no getting away from the fact that the markets of Capitalism will collapse with climate change.
Presently we have little understanding what this means.
Various solutions have been proposed with the knowledge that capitalism is contributing to the climate crisis but the solution to the climate crisis is simple:
End capitalism as we know it.
This requires a change in the global-system.
Even if this was possible, it would take at years to put into action. Until then, we as individuals must keep trying to hold corporations accountable for their damage to the environment.
It is a really important issue I think anti-capitalists should focus on going forward.
How is the climate crisis caused by our economic system and not some independent factor like the Industrial Revolution or individual consumption habits? what role do wall street and some of the biggest private companies outside of Fossil Fuels have in propelling it?
Due to the falling rate of profit, capitalists have to continuously expand their businesses in order to keep up with this tendency for their profit rates to drop.
This causes negligence towards envrionmental protection, worker’s rights, etc. This tendency to expand can also lead to imperialism.
Capitalism is an economic system driven by ever-increasing profits, forever and ever, until it completely destroys itself, either by destroying the planet and the people who live on it, or by creating the contradictions that lead to socialist revolution.
My preference is the latter option.
The solution for the climate crisis is not simple and it is going to take trillions to solve. ( See previous posts)
