Gregory's ServerThe power of fossil fuels manifests not just in disinformation campaigns and political meddling of Big Oil, but are also embedded in our everyday social practices.
We are compelled to participate in a fossil way of life not just by marketing, but also by our customs, habits, our ideas of what is proper and kind and just. These often align with a strictly anthropocentric perspective, valuing human comfort and societal stability over wider ecological considerations.

A way forward is not just a matter of replacing fossil fuels with renewables.
An effective climate action would mean a great cultural upheaval, breaking of many taboos, dismantling everyday practices and abandoning old habits.
In other words, a culture capable of solving the climate crisis would likely be unrecognizable and alien to our prevailing modern sensibilities.
