Science tells us that a new and dangerous stage in planetary evolution
has begun the Anthropocene, a time of rising temperatures, extreme
weather, rising oceans, and mass species extinctions. Humanity faces not
just more pollution or warmer weather, but a crisis of the Earth
System. If business as usual continues, this century will be marked by
rapid deterioration of our physical, social, and economic environment.
Large parts of Earth will become uninhabitable, and civilization itself
will be threatened. Facing the Anthropocene shows what has caused this
planetary emergency, and what we must do to meet the challenge.Bridging
the gap between Earth System science and ecological Marxism, Ian Angus
examines not only the latest scientific findings about the physical
causes and consequences of the Anthropocene transition, but also the
social and economic trends that underlie the crisis. Cogent and
compellingly written, Facing the Anthropocene offers a unique synthesis
of natural and social science that illustrates how capitalism’s
inexorable drive for growth, powered by the rapid burning of fossil
fuels that took millions of years to form.
