https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2022/07/convergence-of-war-and-warming-and-7-14.html As climate changes stress our human institutions, we are likely to face deadly conflicts over critical resources.  Klare. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/nuclear-defense-climate-change/          The threats of wars and warming, their causes and consequences, are well studied, but facing and reversing those threats are, to say the least, nascent sciences.  We know well also the success of organizing denial of or distracting people from the harms of both.  Another reason might be that they are studied piecemeal, when they are occurring simultaneously.   And this factor has been little studied.  The result is constant underestimating.  A war alone is incalculably horrendous.  A war during […]

Philip Martin, “Style” page editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, recently reviewed a new novel by Michael Landweber, which Martin categorized as a “utopian fantasy.” Martin described Landweber’s The Damage Done as “about the end of violence, “at least the end of person-on-person physical violence” because “some mysterious force has made it impossible for us to hurt one another. A bully goes to punch the bullied and the fist loses velocity….Bullets hang in the air.” A dissident imprisoned for his attacks against “Dear Leader” “finds his torturers impotent”; “politicians wonder how they might continue to make war”; the Pope wonders if […]
