With today’s article, I am back to writing weekday updates. That’s short essays M-F weaving three planetary threads: Tagore & Gandhi and planetary thought. Animal minds and solidarity beyond the human. The interverse and technologies of connection. One of the great crimes of modern times is an epistemic crime: by the 60s, the fossil fuel companies knew (for they had commissioned the studies!) the potential impacts of carbon in the atmosphere, that it would lead to sea level rise and heat waves and other catastrophes. And instead of releasing their findings to the public, they spent decades denying the truth, preventing effective climate action at a time when it would have been much easier to do so.
