This past summer, the UN Secretary General, in connection with the UN report on climate change, spoke of a “code red for humanity,” a warning that was underscored by the fires, floods and searing temperatures we saw worldwide. Now, the Democrats in Congress (most of them, anyway) are fighting to pass the most ambitious climate bill to date and, a month from now, the UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, will convene in Glasgow. So, do we really have any choice but to tackle the #climatecrisis head on? That said, with all the podcasts on climate change, I’m leaving most of the discussions of the science and technology to others. Our concern, as always, is the intersection of culture and nature - in this case, a nature gone awry as a result of our cultural practices. The connection is almost too obvious, and yet, if industrial technologies and capitalist excess led us into this crisis, what can we say about our culture’s ability to respond to the challenges we face?
