While individual actions play a considerable role in averting the effects of climate change, the primary focus should be on systemic changes. This calls for a radical and rapid societal transformation on a scale never seen before. Decoupling of the economy, which fundamentally means that the growth of an economy should be possible without corresponding increases in environmental pressure, is vital. This can be achieved by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. But mere transition to renewable energy alone will not suffice. We need to rethink the way we produce and consume, if we plan to curtail global warming to the stipulated 1.5 degree Celsius to 2 degree Celsius. Business as usual is a recipe for environmental destruction which in turn will exacerbate the already underway path to massive extinction of species. Hence, this is where scientists and ecological economists are increasingly calling for a shift to ‘degrowth’ strategies. Degrowth primarily means a planned reduction of energy and resource use designed to bring the economy back into balance with the living world in a way that reduces inequality and improves human well-being. Under the degrowth model, the economy will be decoupled from the GDP fetish and focus on a transition towards a planned, coherent policy to reduce ecological impact, thereby providing a liveable environment especially for the poor and marginalized. The smaller our global needs, the easier the transition will be. Unless drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions along with a lower and sustainable level of production and consumption is achieved, the future of our planet is at grave risk. Putting an end to the capitalist-driven rampant consumerism and crafting a more just and ethical way of sustainable living by implementing a degrowth model should be our priority if we want our planet to survive. — Why the Path of ‘Capitalism’ Cannot Cure Climate Change

Video: ICE’s Secret Surge in California — VC Defensa Fights Back On October 5 ICE launched Operation Safe California – a 45-day surge targeting sanctuary cities across the state. DHS won’t confirm it exists. But communities from San Diego to Los Angeles, the Central Valley, and Ventura County are watching it happen in real time: federal agents told to “go after anybody” kidnapping hundreds of people in the first 10 days alone, all playing out right before the US midterms. But communities are fighting back. This week in Ventura County, dozens of neighbors and rapid responders surrounded ICE agents and stopped them from taking a mother and father on their way to work – with their kids in the back seat. Jonathan Renoj, a volunteer with VC Defensa, says community defenses are surging to match ICE, as people who have never organized before join patrols, and neighbors who no longer trust local police turn to rapid responders for protection. He explains why federal raids on volunteers’ homes only grew the movement, how the crackdown is connected to voter suppression, and what it will take to build a network that can follow ICE from San Diego all the way to the Bay Area.
