A friend pointed me to a TED talk by a Swedish architect who proposed a massive environmental intervention in Africa -- using bacteria to fix Saharan sand in place to create a 'wall' and so halt desertification -- while freely admitting that he didn't know any of the details and it made me realise: neocolonialism driven by anthropogenic climate change is really going to be a thing.
@debcha it makes sense that the capitalists are not too concerned about climate change. in fact, it feels like they see it as an opportunity to gain even more power exactly because of shit like that
