EXTINCTION: A RADICAL HISTORY

We'll be talking with Ashley Dawson, the author of “Extinction:A Radical History”, a concise, forceful history contending that “this relentless extinction is the result of capitalism’s global attack on the commons, the great trove of air, water, plants, and creatures that has been regarded traditionally as the inheritance of humanity as a whole”.

“Extinction cannot be understood in isolation from a critique of our economic system. To grasp it fully we need to transgress the boundaries between science, environmentalism, and radical politics.”

Plus our regular cutting-edge environmental news: a divestment win in Oregon, a NJ Transit fare increase, more record-breaking greenhouse-gas levels, East Palestine, Ohio derailment lawsuit settlement, protests against artificial-turf playgrounds, the EPA finally bans a few PFAS, and a 350.org program on taking back power from utility companies, the day after our next Wednesday show.
