--- Twilight of the Anthropocene Idols
“It didn’t take long for expert deconstructors Tom Cohen, Claire
Colebrook and J. Hillis Miller to do their duty once again and begin to
dream the Anthropocene. Up until now, many of us have simply been in
data dump mode, the way global warming science delivers its
pronouncements from behind a desk: Six! One hundred thousand! Ninety
seven percent! Gigaton! Forty! The scientist herself needs to have cared
enough to seek the global warming data that accidentally puts us in all
kinds of shutdown. The kind of thinking aloud that these fantastic
writers do is logically prior to being ready to receive data. Which
makes you wonder: Maybe you should have read this years ago.”
Timothy Morton – author of Realist Magic

In Catastrophic Times The effects of global warming have a cumulative impact, and it is not a
matter of a crisis that will “pass” before everything goes back to
“normal.” Our governments are totally incapable of dealing with the
situation. Economic warfare obliges them to stick to the goal of
irresponsible, even criminal, economic growth, whatever the cost. It is
no surprise that people were so struck by the catastrophe in New
Orleans. The response of the authorities – to abandon the poor whilst
the rich were able to take shelter – is a symbol of the coming
barbarism.
