The impoverished imagination of neoliberal climate “solutions

This morning (Oct 31) at 10hPT, the Internet Archive is livestreaming my presentation on my recent book, The Internet Con.

There is only one planet in the known universe capable of sustaining human life, and it is rapidly becoming uninhabitable by humans. Clearly, this warrants bold action – but which bold action should we take?

After half a century of denial and disinformation, the business lobby has seemingly found climate religion and has joined the choir, but they have their own unique hymn: this crisis is so dire, they say, that we don't have the luxury of choosing between different ways of addressing the emergency. We have to do "all of the above" – every possible solution must be tried.

In his new book Dark PR, Grant Ennis explains that this "all of the above" strategy doesn't represent a change of heart by big business. Rather, it's part of the denial playbook that's been used to sell tobacco-cancer doubt and climate disinformation:

https://darajapress.com/publication/dark-pr-how-corporate-disinformation-harms-our-health-and-the-environment

The point of "all of the above" isn't muscular, immediate action – rather, it's a delaying tactic that creates space for "solutions" that won't work, but will generate profits. Think of how the tobacco industry used "all of the above" to sell "light" cigarettes, snuff, snus, and vaping – and delay tobacco bans, sin taxes, and business-euthanizing litigation. Today, the same playbook is used to sell EVs as an answer to the destructive legacy of the personal automobile – to the exclusion of mass transit, bikes, and 15-minute cities:

https://thewaroncars.org/2023/10/24/113-dark-pr-with-grant-ennis/

As the tobacco and car examples show, "all of the above" is never really all of the above. Pursuing "light" cigarettes to reduce cancer is incompatible with simply banning tobacco; giving everyone a personal EV is incompatible with remaking our cities for transit, cycling and walking.

When it comes to the climate emergency, "all of the above" means trying "market-based" solutions to the exclusion of directly regulating emissions, despite the poor performance of these "solutions."

The big one here is carbon offsets, which allows companies to make money by promising not to emit carbon that they would otherwise emit. The idea here is that creating a new asset class will unleash the incredible creativity of markets by harnessing the greed of elite sociopaths to the project of decarbonization, rather of the prudence of democratically accountable lawmakers.

Carbon offsets have not worked: they have been plagued by absolutely foreseeable problems that have not lessened, despite repeated attempts to mitigate them.

For starters, carbon offsets are a classic market for lemons. The cheapest way to make a carbon offset is to promise not to emit carbon you were never going to emit anyway, as when fake charities like the Nature Conservancy make millions by promising not to log forests that can't be logged because they are wildlife preserves:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/03/18/greshams-carbon-law/#papal-indulgences

Then there's the problem of monitoring carbon offsetting activity. Like, what happens when the forest you promise not to log burns down? If you're a carbon trader, the answer is "nothing." That burned-down forest can still be sold as if it were sequestering carbon, rather than venting it to the atmosphere in an out-of-control blaze:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/07/26/aggregate-demand/#murder-offsets

When you bought a plane ticket and ticked the "offset the carbon on my flight" box and paid an extra $10, I bet you thought that you were contributing to a market that incentivized a reduction in discretionary, socially useless carbon-intensive activity. But without those carbon offsets, SUVs would have all but disappeared from American roads. Carbon offsets for Tesla cars generated billions in carbon offsets for Elon Musk, and allowed SUVs to escape regulations that would otherwise have seen them pulled from the market:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/24/no-puedo-pagar-no-pagara/#Rat

What's more, Tesla figured out how to get double the offsets they were entitled to by pretending that they had a working battery-swap technology. This directly translated to even more SUVs on the road:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Tesla,_Inc.#Misuse_of_government_subsidies

Harnessing the profit motive to the planet's survivability might sound like a good idea, but it assumes that corporations can self-regulate their way to a better climate future. They cannot. Think of how Canada's logging industry was allowed to clearcut old-growth forests and replace them with "pines in lines" – evenly spaced, highly flammable, commercially useful tree-farms that now turn into raging forest fires every year:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/16/murder-offsets/#pulped-and-papered

The idea of "market-based" climate solutions is that certain harmful conduct should be disincentivized through taxes, rather than banned. This makes carbon offsets into a kind of modern Papal indulgence, which let you continue to sin, for a price. As the outstanding short video Murder Offsets so ably demonstrates, this is an inadequate, unserious and immoral response to the urgency of the issue:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/14/for-sale-green-indulgences/#killer-analogy

Offsets and other market-based climate measures aren't "all of the above" – they exclude other measures that have better track-records and lower costs, because those measures cut against the interests of the business lobby. Writing for the Law and Political Economy Project, Yale Law's Douglas Kysar gives some pointed examples:

https://lpeproject.org/blog/climate-change-and-the-neoliberal-imagination/

For example: carbon offsets rely on a notion called "contrafactual carbon," this being the imaginary carbon that might be omitted by a company if it wasn't participating in offsets. The number of credits a company gets is determined by the difference between its contrafactual emissions and its actual emissions.

But the "contrafactual" here comes from a business-as-usual world, one where the only limit on carbon emissions comes from corporate executives' voluntary actions – and not from regulation, direct action, or other limits on corporate conduct.

Kysar asks us to imagine a contrafactual that depends on "carbon upsets," rather than offsets – one where the limits on carbon come from "lawsuits, referenda, protests, boycotts, civil disobedience":

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cif-green/2010/aug/29/carbon-upsets-offsets-cap-and-trade

If we're really committed to "all of the above" as baseline for calculating offsets, why not imagine a carbon world grounded in foreseeable, evidence-based reality, like the situation in Louisiana, where a planned petrochemical plant was canceled after a lawsuit over its 13.6m tons of annual carbon emissions?

https://earthjustice.org/press/2022/louisiana-court-vacates-air-permits-for-formosas-massive-petrochemical-complex-in-cancer-alley

Rather than a tradeable market in carbon offsets, we could harness the market to reward upsets. If your group wins a lawsuit that prevents 13.6m tons of carbon emissions every year, it will get 13.6 million credits for every year that plant would have run. That would certainly drive the commercial imaginations of many otherwise disinterested parties to find carbon-reduction measures. If we're going to revive dubious medieval practices like indulgences, why not champerty, too?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champerty_and_maintenance

That is, if every path to a survivable planet must run through Goldman-Sachs, why not turn their devious minds to figuring out ways to make billions in tradeable credits by suing the pants off oil companies?

There are any number of measures that rise to the flimsy standards of evidence in support of offsets. Like, we're giving away $85/ton in free public money for carbon capture technologies, despite the lack of any credible path to these making a serious dent in the climate situation:

https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/energy-transition/072523-ira-turbocharged-carbon-capture-tax-credit-but-challenges-persist-experts

If we're willing to fund untested longshots like carbon capture, why not measures that have far better track-records? For example, there's a pretty solid correlation between the presence of women in legislatures and on corporate boards and overall reductions in carbon. I'm the last person to suggest that the problems of capitalism can be replaced by replacing half of the old white men who run the world with women, PoCs and queers – but if we're willing to hand billions to ferkakte scheme like carbon capture, why not subsidize companies that pack their boards with women, or provide campaign subsidies to women running for office? It's quite a longshot (putting Liz Truss or Marjorie Taylor-Greene on your board or in your legislature is no way to save the planet), but it's got a better evidentiary basis than carbon capture.

There's also good evidence that correlates inequality with carbon emissions, though the causal relationship is unclear. Maybe inequality lets the wealthy control policy outcomes and tilt them towards permitting high-emission/high-profit activities. Maybe inequality reduces the social cohesion needed to make decarbonization work. Maybe inequality makes it harder for green tech to find customers. Maybe inequality leads to rich people chasing status-enhancing goods (think: private jet rides) that are extremely carbon-intensive.

Whatever the reason, there's a pretty good case that radical wealth redistribution would speed up decarbonization – any "all of the above" strategy should certainly consider this one.

Kysar's written a paper on this, entitled "Ways Not to Think About Climate Change":

https://political-theory.org/resources/Documents/Kysar.Ways%20Not%20to%20Think%20About%20Climate%20Change.pdf

It's been accepted for the upcoming American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy conference on climate change:

https://political-theory.org/13257256

It's quite a bracing read! The next time someone tells you we should hand Elon Musk billions to in exchange for making it possible to legally manufacture vast fleets of SUVs because we need to try "all of the above," send them a copy of this paper.

Dubbed the last lung of Manila, the 5.4-acre Arroceros Forest Park had long been a battleground between the city government and pro-environment organizations before becoming a modern oasis today. 

During Spanish colonial rule, the park area was part of the parián or market of Manila. Later in the 19th century, a tobacco factory, known as Fabrica de Arroceros, occupied the site. During the Philippine Revolution in 1896, the park area became a contested battleground zone. Philippine and U.S. forces controlled everywhere in the city except for the small Intramuros, a centuries-old historic district in the city and Spain's last hold-out.

In 1898, the United States purchased the Philippine archipelago for $20 million from Spain. During U.S. control of the archipelago, a military garrison was set up on the park site. When the Philippines finally secured independence from the United States in 1946, the garrison was repurposed into the Department of Education's headquarters.

When the Department of Education moved elsewhere, the site's first park was instated in 1993. Manila government officials developed the park with the help of a private environmental group, the Winner Foundation.

Along with 150 century-old trees that survived World War II, the park now hosts over 3,000 trees, an effort lead by he Manila Seedling Bank.

In 2003, the park was embroiled in another controversy that threatened its existence when then-mayor Lito Atienza wanted to construct a school administration building and teachers' dormitory on a portion of the park despite protests from conservation groups. The groups claimed that of the 8,000 trees in the park in the year 200, only 2,000 trees remained after the buildings were completed in 2007.

In 2020, then-mayor Francisco Domagoso signed an ordinance declaring the area a permanent forest park. On February 4, 2022, the park re-opened after 5 months of rehabilitation.

The SAWP is a temporary labour program that brings foreign workers to Canada for periods between six weeks and eight months annually [...], paving the way for the recruitment of Jamaican workers as well as workers from other Caribbean countries like Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados [beginning] in 1968. [...] The SAWP has been a resounding success for Canadian growers because offshore indentured workers enable agribusiness to expand and secure large profits. Being indentured means that migrant farm workers are bound to specific employers by contractual agreements [...]. First, they are legally prevented from unionizing. [...] Additionally, because they are bound to specific employers, they must ensure that the employer is happy with them [...]. For instance, migrant farm workers are forced to agree to growers’ requests for long working hours, labour through the weekend, suppress complaints and avoid conflicts, if they want to stay out of “trouble” [...]. In “Canada’s Creeping Economic Apartheid”, Grace Galabuzi shows that the Canadian Government’s immigration policy is, in reality, a labour market immigration policy [...].

A big finding that came out of the oral history interviews was a much richer tapestry of worker protest than has previously been documented. Speaking with workers – including former workers back in their home countries of Jamaica and Barbados – allowed me to hear the types of stories that often don’t make it into archives or newspapers. Interviewees told me stories about wildcat strikes, about negotiating conditions with employers, and also about protesting their home governments’ role in organizing the migrant labour program. [...] [T]hings did not have to be this way; our current world was anything but inevitable. [...] [But] economic forces transformed tobacco farming (and agriculture writ large), [...] leaving mega-operations in their wake. [...] [L]arge operations could afford [...] bringing in foreign guestworkers. The attraction of foreign workers was not due to labour shortages, but instead in their much higher degree of exploitability, given the strict nature of their contracts and the economic compulsion under which they pursued overseas migrant labour. [...] Ontario’s tobacco belt (located in between Hamilton and London, on the north shore of Lake Erie), was from the 1920s to 1980s one the most profitable sectors in Canadian agriculture and the epicentre of migrant labour in the country [...]. In most years, upwards of 25,000 workers were needed to bring in the crop. [...]

Jamaican agricultural workers say they face conditions akin to “systematic slavery” on Canadian farms, as they call on Jamaica to address systemic problems in a decades-old, migrant labour programme in Canada. In a letter sent to Jamaica’s minister of labour and social security earlier this month [August 2022], workers [...] said they have been “treated like mules” on two farms in Ontario, Canada’s most populous province. [...] The workers [...] are employed under [...] (SAWP), which allows Canadian employers to hire temporary migrant workers from Mexico and 11 countries in the Caribbean [...]. “We work for eight months on minimum wage and can’t survive for the four months back home. The SAWP is exploitation at a seismic level. Employers treat us like we don’t have any feelings, like we’re not human beings. We are robots to them. They don’t care about us.” Between 50,000 and 60,000 foreign agricultural labourers come to Canada each year on temporary permits [...]. Canada exported more than $63.3bn ($82.2bn Canadian) in agriculture and food products in 2021 – making it the fifth-largest exporter of agri-food in the world. [...]

In my home country, St. Lucia, we believe in a fair day’s pay [...]. In Canada, we give more than a fair day’s work, but we do not get a fair day’s pay. [...] I worked in a greenhouse in [...] Ontario, growing and harvesting tomatoes and organic sweet peppers for eight months of the year, from 2012 to 2015. [...] In the bunkhouse where I lived, there were typically eight workers per room. Newly constructed bunkhouses typically have up to fourteen people per room. [...] I also received calls from workers (especially Jamaicans) who were either forbidden – or strongly discouraged – from leaving the farm property. This outrageous overreach of employer control meant that workers had difficulty sending money home, or buying necessary items [...]. [O]n a lot of farms, [...] workers’ movement and activity is policed by their employers. The government knows about this yet fails to act.

The CSAWP is structured in such a way as to exclude racialized working class others from citizen-track entry into the country while demarcating them to a non-immigrant status as temporary, foreign and unfree labourers. The CSAWP is [...] a relic of Canada’s racist and colonial past, one that continues unimpeded in the present age [...]. [T]he Canadian state has offered a concession to the agricultural economic sector in the way of an ambiguous legal entity through which foreign agricultural workers are legally disenfranchised and legally denied citizenship rights.

These are uncommon aspirations for a tabletop author. The board game industry is booming—the total market grew by 6.5 percent in 2022—but the hobby itself tends to be politically inert. By most mainstream audits, a good board game is quantified by the interesting ways it allows players to score points. The thematic resonance of the setting is usually pushed to the fringes. When a board game intersects with history—even harrowing history—it does so only to provide a one-dimensional backdrop for the card-playing and tile-laying. The lack of mindfulness can sometimes be baffling: One of the most acclaimed tabletop games of all time, Puerto Rico, takes place on the namesake island during the height of European imperial power, when merchant ships poured into the Caribbean. Performing well in the game requires you to develop plantations of coffee, tobacco, and sugar in the verdant interior, which, historically speaking, were worked by slaves. Puerto Rico, of course, never acknowledges those crimes against humanity—it’s only meant to be digested as a game, rather than a text. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wehrle has spent a career attempting to bridge that contradiction. He is of the opinion that those traditional conceptions about game design are misguided, and more generally, that the tabletop format can aim much higher in both ambition and scope. “I’m not interested in whether or not a game is fun,” he told me. “I think we want something to be compelling, and the things that compel us exist on a wide emotional spectrum.” That means if a quartet of players can feel the nuances of Reconstruction—if they can sink into its horror around a kitchen table, with a board game that truly possesses a point of view—then perhaps they will better understand where we came from.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has put Bulgarian agriculture in front of serious challenges due to the unprecedented increase in the price of basic production resources - energy, fertilizers, feed, uncertainty in the agricultural markets, and the crisis has further worsened the traditional low liquidity of small farms in our country. This is what the Minister of Agriculture Yavor Gechev said in front of the media.

“If the state had not taken measures to support farmers and livestock breeders with the state support scheme: ‘Liquidity of farmers to overcome the negative economic impact of Russian aggression against Ukraine’, many of them would have gone bankrupt, which would have put under risk the stability of the food supply chain, thereby endangering the country's food security,” the caretaker Minister of Agriculture emphasized.

In order to deal with the negative consequences of Russian aggression, the Ministry has developed an emergency crisis measure for state aid in order to compensate the increased costs of farmers. Thus, for the period in which applications for state aid were accepted - from September 1 to 16, 2022, 37,042 applications for state aid were accepted, and nearly 36,000 were eligible and received aid. Due to the interest in the assistance, however, many farmers turned to the Ministry with a request to open a new window for assistance, and in November one was opened, and for the period from November 14 to 18, another 520 applications from farmers were accepted, and 488 of them - assisted.

Also, the sums received by some farmers have been reduced to the ceiling in the initially approved support scheme – 62 thousand euros per enterprise. This ceiling, however, does not allow larger farms in the affected sectors to be adequately compensated for the increased costs of cultivating agricultural land and rearing animals, putting them at a disadvantage compared to smaller farms. Thus, according to the instructions of the EC from 28.10.2022, the ceiling for support is raised to 250 thousand euros, and subsequently the apointed budget of the scheme is also amended, which reaches 426 million BGN, with the livestock sector being supported with 204 million BGN, and plant breeding – with BGN 222 million.

In the "Livestock" sector, in all subcategories - for dairy cows, sheep, buffaloes and goats, the tied support jumps by an amount between BGN 4 and 19 per head animal, and in "Plant breeding" the state aid for growing vines, rice, nuts , salads, lettuce, okra, tobacco and zucchini jumps from BGN 1,000 to BGN 6,000 per hectare.

Digital Dentistry Market Overview

Market Drivers -The increasing prevalence of dental disorders is expected to propel the growth of the digital dentistry market going forward. Dental disorders refer to a range of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral structures, including cavities, gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. The dental disorders are caused due to factors such as poor oral hygiene practices, unhealthy dietary habits, tobacco use, inadequate access to dental care, and aging populations. Digital dentistry is transforming the diagnosis and treatment of dental disorders with technologies such as computer-aided design or computer-aided manufacturing (CAD or CAM) systems, digital imaging, and artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostics, enhancing precision and outcomes. For instance, in August 2022, according to the National Health Service (NHS), a UK-based healthcare system, in the business year 2021–22, there was a notable surge of 120.0% in the delivery of dental treatments, totaling 26.4 million courses compared to the previous year. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of dental disorders is driving the growth of the digital dentistry market.

Market Trends - Major companies operating in the digital dentistry market are focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies into diagnosis products, such as AI-guided orthodontic scans, to enhance treatment precision, efficiency, and early detection capabilities. An AI-guided orthodontics scan uses artificial intelligence to assist in conducting precise scans of a patient's teeth, aiding in treatment planning and customization. For instance, in June 2023, DentalMonitoring, a France-based medical equipment manufacturing company, launched an AI-guided scan for orthodontics, named ScanAssist. The device utilizes AI-guided instructions and real-time feedback to assist patients in completing their scans, aiming to enhance patient engagement and experience. The in-app system generates a 3D mouth model that tracks patients' scans, offering high-quality images and detailed analysis of treatment progress and oral health. ScanAssist, a recent feature of the DentalMonitoring app, employs software and AI to identify over 130 intraoral observations for braces and aligner treatments.

The Importance of Accessible, Quality Youth Sports Programs in America

Sports represent a major aspect of American culture. In 2023, the value of the North American sports market increased to more than $83 billion. That year, close to 80 percent of the nation, or about 242 million people, engaged in at least one sport or athletic activity. This stands as a record high for the nation, according to fitness activity service provider Sports Destination Management.

Unfortunately, most Americans do not take part in the recommended amount of weekly physical activity, including 75 percent of high school students. American youth deal with many distractions, ranging from an influx of screens to declining budgets for physical education programs at schools. The national average for sports participation is roughly 51 percent, with Massachusetts and Minnesota leading the way with participation rates approaching 63 percent.

Several sports continue to draw high participation numbers, though many programs continue to recover from COVID-19 disruptions during the 2019 and 2020 school years. Individual sports are slightly more popular than team sports for youth aged 13 to 17. Basketball draws the most participation overall, at 3.44 million, followed by baseball and soccer.

There are complications when it comes to promoting the importance of youth sports. A Boston Globe report from 2022 found that 59 percent of parents with children playing fall sports said the cost of athletics is a financial strain on the household. More than half of six-figure income households participating in the report said they had a child playing baseball that autumn, compared to a quarter of families making $35,000 or less.

To close this gap, school districts and municipal governments should carefully consider the benefits of maintaining quality youth sports programs and the importance of accessibility. Athletes who participate in youth sports enjoy many advantages, according to data collected by the Aspen Institute’s Project Play initiative.

To start, studies indicate that physically active adolescents have a lower risk for obesity. Childhood obesity is a serious health concern in the US. Nearly 13 percent of children from the ages of 2 to 5 qualify as obese and the prevalence increases at every age group; over 22 percent of adolescents from 12 to 19 live with obesity and the myriad health complications the condition entails. This does not account for children who do not qualify as obese but are living at unhealthy weights. Altogether, roughly 14.7 million American children live with obesity and 41.5 percent of Americans ages 2 to 19 are overweight, obese, or severely obese.

Youth sports can also mitigate a child’s chances of developing clinical depression, another serious crisis among American youths. The prevalence of diagnosed depression among American children is 3.2 percent, to say nothing of undiagnosed cases. Previously considered a psychological issue exclusively impacting adults, depression has been diagnosed in individuals as young as 2 years old. The consequences of untreated clinical depression can be fatal. There are many approaches to treating depression, including spending time outdoors, taking part in sports and exercise, and engaging in social activities, all opportunities provided by youth sports leagues.

Children and adolescents who play youth sports are less likely to use illegal drugs, tobacco products, or alcohol. Youth athletes perform better in school, score higher on tests, and are more likely to attend college and secure gainful employment. Unsurprisingly, youth athletes typically demonstrate higher levels of confidence and self-esteem. These are only a few of the reasons for a school or district to consider investing in their youth sports programming.
