New on Climate & Capitalism BARRY COMMONER AND THE GREAT ACCELERATION by Ian Angus http://climateandcapitalism.com/2014/06/29/barry-commoner-great-acceleration/ Long before today's scientists accepted the idea, socialist-ecologist Barry Commoner argued that there had been a qualitative change in humanity's relationship with nature in the years following World War II ... and explained why it happened and what it means for our future. “We know that something went wrong in the country after World War II, for most of our serious pollution problems either began in the postwar years or have greatly worsened since then.” --Barry Commoner, 1971 “[The] first stage of the Anthropocene ended abruptly around 1945, when the most rapid and pervasive shift in the human-environment relationship began." --Will Steffen, Paul J. Crutzen, John R. McNeill, 2007 ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
