- Description
- Thinking about environmental catastrophe requires us to imagine future society, and think about what might be likely and what could be possible (Coates & Leahy 2006; Curran 2007; George 2007; Leahy 2004; Trainer 1985; 1995). I will argue the changes necessary to halt global warming cannot be contained within capitalism. The consequences of doing nothing are equally drastic for capitalism. So what might happen and what are the implications for environmental activists?
