What To Do About Predictions of Imminent Food Collapse

Sandra Lindberg, System Change Not Climate Change, June 5, 2019

As a member of System Change Not Climate Change, this morning I received links to a couple of YouTube videos about stresses on 2019 crop production. Produced by climate scientist Paul Beckwith, the videos portray the world as teetering on the brink of a profound food shortage.

How Can We Prevent Climate Catastrophe?

Phil Gasper, International Socialist Review, March 1, 2019

A Marxist Feminist Ecosocialist View of a Financial Times Video about Climate Change and Migration

Sandra Lindberg, System Change Not Climate Change, December 21, 2018

Screenshot from Financial Times Video on Climate and Migration

No Ph.D. talking here. Just a woman who reads and studies, as Marxists recommend. I’m disturbed by a video just accessed on YouTube: “Climate change and the migrant caravan.” The news piece suggests that sympathetic and enlightened attitudes lie behind the video’s creation. Applying Marxist and socialist concepts, I hope to expose some of the assumptions, misconceptions and perhaps hidden goals contained in the video.
