Check out my recent #JFB Editor's Choice: The grime fighting potential of fish #guts and the battle for responsible consumption doi.org/10.1111/jfb.16075 It covers some big topics around #capitalism, #consumption, #CircularEconomies and... fish guts? Have a read to see how work by Friedman et al is paving the way for more #sustainable fisheries and #detergent industry. The cover is also a contender for the most gruesome JFB have ever published!

@samsterby Neither point is valid. Global #energy #demand is going to exceed the increase in #supply by #renewables, leaving a gap filled by #fossilfuels, even in 2050. Under the #capitalist system, the Jevons Paradox ensures that increases in energy #efficiency result in increases in energy #consumption, rather than the reverse, & #social #justice is unobtainable under #capitalism. If we want #climate justice, capitalism has to go. But there's no way that you can have a scenario with (1/2)

"_It's no longer a fight to survive in a world in which there's too little, but a fight to survive in a world in which there is too much. We can now make more of practically everything than we can ever possibly hope to use. And to prosper, we must become a race of massive consumers wasting to live._"

Countries must prevent harm to the climate system and tackle fossil fuels to ensure the right to life.

"...The international court of justice (ICJ) said countries must prevent harm to the climate system and that failing to do so could result in their having to pay compensation and make other forms of restitution."

"The unanimous opinion covers a wide range of matters under international law. It says states are liable for all kinds of activities that harm the climate, but it takes explicit aim at fossil fuels. It says that a state’s failure to take appropriate action to protect the climate system from greenhouse gas emissions, including through the production and consumption of fossil fuels, the granting of fossil fuel exploration licences or the provision of fossil fuel subsidies, “may constitute an international wrongful act which is attributable to that state”.

"The court said a clean, healthy and sustainable environment was a precondition for exercising many human rights, such as the right to life, the right to health and the right to an adequate standard of living, including access to water, food and housing."
