The issues raised in the film THE OIL MACHINE have become even more
urgent with recent upheavals in energy security, the cost of living,
and our climate. At the same time, the UK government is rushing to
offer 100 new licences for North Sea oil and gas exploration. One
year on from the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, we’re now
going back to the film’s contributors to ask them how recent global
events have shaped the ongoing debate about oil.<br>
Here's our catch-up with Ann Pettifor, political economist and
author of The Case for the Green New Deal.<br>

"KEEP 1.5 ALIVE" has been the mantra of recent global climate
conferences. But more and more mainstream organisations now say our
politicians have already failed, and that average global temperature
increases higher than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial
levels are now inevitable. So, who are we to believe?<br>

Days out from this year's United Nations climate summit in Egypt,
activist Greta Thunberg has called for more ambitious cuts to global
emissions, while expressing scepticism that the summit will deliver
them. She's produced a new book aptly named "The Climate Book",
which expresses hope that there's still time to avert the worst of
climate change, despite the bleak predictions. In this extended

<b>Neil Young Embraces Imperfection</b><br>
The singer-songwriter discusses his new album with the theme of
climate change, his friendship with Rick Rubin, and recording
melodies on his flip phone.<br>
By Amanda Petrusich<br>
November 27, 2022<br>
Last week, Young released “World Record,” his forty-second studio
LP, and an album focussed almost exclusively on how to combat
climate change...<br>
- -<br>
I don’t like to dwell on it much, but I think everybody’s
terrified...<br>
...<br>
<blockquote>But they’re not terrified about politics. They’re
terrified, period. Because of [climate change], and how we’re not
dealing with it. You’ve got all those TV networks, warring
personality against personality, building this side against that
side, blowing everything up into the latest episode of whatever
what’s-his-name is doing, how they almost did this to
what’s-her-name’s husband. . . . Just on and on and on. The reason
everybody’s so uptight about the things they’re talking about, in
my view, has nothing to do with what they’re talking about. I
think it has to do with what’s happening to the planet. That’s
what I think. So that’s where I go.<br>
<br>
We haven’t quite realized that [climate change] doesn’t care. It’s
a little bit like a virus. It doesn’t care. It has a thing that it
does, and it’s doing it. This is not a sci-fi movie; this is real.
Just because it’s science doesn’t mean that you can ignore it. But
we compartmentalize it. We don’t look at the situation the way we
should. I can envision the Chinese guy, the Russian guy, the
American guy, the German lady, the leaders of all these countries,
the guy from South America, all these people onstage together,
talking, one by one, in their language, to the world, with
subtitles underneath. We have to get to the point where we all
come together, and we realize that we’re all on the same Earth,
and there’s one way we can fix it. We need to grow food, and we
need to grow fuel. Imagine if, instead of dust rising into the
sky, the carbon started returning to the Earth. Animals on the
ground, instead of being in little metal cages with antibiotics
and fans, on top of each other so they can make it to the
supermarket...<br>

<b>‘Extinction is on the table’: Jaron Lanier warns of tech’s
existential threat to humanity</b><br>
The American computer scientist, who coined the term ‘virtual
reality,’ cautions against online ‘psychological operatives’<br>
- -<br>
The stakes are high. “I still think extinction is on the table as an
outcome. Not necessarily, but it’s a fundamental drama. If we can
coordinate ourselves to solve the climate crisis it’s a fundamental
sign we haven’t become completely dysfunctional,” he said<br>
<br>
<i>And he’s been brutally clear about what he sees as the
consequences of over-dependence on social media: in essence,
you’ll get both popular cat videos and civil war.</i><br>
- -<br>
“Even people who are willing to cooperate may not be able to because
they’re not operating in an environment where they’re heard in the
ways they imagine. Right now we have no confidence that what we say
will be heard correctly,” he says.<br>
<br>
That like goes for Lanier’s own thoughts too. Though, he fervently
hopes he is proved wrong.<br>
<br>
“If you make a dismal prediction and it comes true, it means you’ve
failed to have utility. I don’t claim to have all the answers but I
do believe that our survival depends on modifying the internet – to
create a structure that is friendlier to human cognition and to the
ways people really are.”<br>

<i>[The news archive - looking back]</i><br>
<font size="+2"><i><b>November 28, 2014 </b></i></font> <br>
November 28, 2014:<br>
In the New York Times, Paul Krugman observes:<br>
<blockquote>"Of course, polluters will defend their right to
pollute, but why can they count on Republican support? When and
why did the Republican Party become the party of pollution?<br>
<br>
"For it wasn’t always thus. The Clean Air Act of 1970, the legal
basis for the Obama administration’s environmental actions, passed
the Senate on a bipartisan vote of 73 to 0, and was signed into
law by Richard Nixon. (I’ve heard veterans of the E.P.A. describe
the Nixon years as a golden age.) A major amendment of the law,
which among other things made possible the cap-and-trade system
that limits acid rain, was signed in 1990 by former President
George H.W. Bush.<br>
<br>
"But that was then. Today’s Republican Party is putting a
conspiracy theorist who views climate science as a 'gigantic hoax'
in charge of the Senate’s environment committee. And this isn’t an
isolated case. Pollution has become a deeply divisive partisan
issue.<br>
<br>
"And the reason pollution has become partisan is that Republicans
have moved right. A generation ago, it turns out, environment
wasn’t a partisan issue: according to Pew Research, in 1992 an
overwhelming majority in both parties favored stricter laws and
regulation. Since then, Democratic views haven’t changed, but
Republican support for environmental protection has collapsed.<br>
<br>
"So what explains this anti-environmental shift?<br>
<br>
"You might be tempted simply to blame money in politics, and
there’s no question that gushers of cash from polluters fuel the
anti-environmental movement at all levels. But this doesn’t
explain why money from the most environmentally damaging
industries, which used to flow to both parties, now goes
overwhelmingly in one direction. Take, for example, coal mining.
In the early 1990s, according to the Center for Responsive
Politics, the industry favored Republicans by a modest margin,
giving around 40 percent of its money to Democrats. Today that
number is just 5 percent. Political spending by the oil and gas
industry has followed a similar trajectory. Again, what changed?<br>
<br>
"One answer could be ideology. Textbook economics isn’t
anti-environment; it says that pollution should be limited, albeit
in market-friendly ways when possible. But the modern conservative
movement insists that government is always the problem, never the
solution, which creates the will to believe that environmental
problems are fake and environmental policy will tank the economy.<br>
<br>
"My guess, however, is that ideology is only part of the story —
or, more accurately, it’s a symptom of the underlying cause of the
divide: rising inequality."<br>
