Good day. My name is James Sherry. I have been writing about environmentalism for more than 30 years and have recently focused on how diversity extends beyond biological and social multiplicity to the way ideas are framed and categorized for human and other members of the biosphere. This podcast is: Against One Model Alone
We humans need to change how we view ourselves. Not all humans, of course, the term Anthropocene makes it seem like climate change is caused by the species and not by capital accumulation and expansion. The developed countries and the emerging markets seeking to be like developed countries need to change their minds. Not all the people in those countries. The problem is not how to educate the poor, but how to educate the rich and the aspirants to wealth. How shall we educate a person who does not see any facet of their own point of view about the planet as contestable?”
