Here some extracts of the article (to make you read it, it's totally worth 😉):

"While the global community congratulates itself on achieving what is politically possible, we cannot overlook the anemic nature of the agreement considering the magnitude of the problem. It will not avoid the death of millions – because they simply do not matter.” (Pulido, 2018, p. 128)
[...]
Ernstson and Swyngedouw (2019) termed the depoliticizing technocratic discourse that coexists with obscene capitalist accumulation and waste as the Anthropo-obscene (critiquing the totalizing banner of Anthropocene that homogenizes an undifferentiated humanity that does not exist).
[...]
A performance of diversion, delay, co-optation, and performativity without substance is repeated almost annually. Nonetheless, these are also spaces of opportunities to challenge the system, to utter necessary words for more people to hear, collectivize among young and old activists, learn from different positionalities, create new openings and possibilities of alliances – in other words, a repoliticization of climate instead of the depoliticized techno-economist utopias that never deliver.
[...]
আমরা কোথায় যাব, আমাদের কি ভবিষ্যৎ? আমরাকি হত্তছারা, পরিত্যক্ত? (Where will my people go, what future do we have? Must we remain abandoned, forsaken?) The disproportionate burden of climate damage is falling on formerly colonized and brutalized racialized communities in the developing world. We are still colonized, but this time through climate change, the development industry, and globalization. I feel an immense responsibility to do something. But no one is going to listen to someone like me, and even more importantly, more marginalized peoples, women and children, farmers and fisherfolk, writers and scholars. But we are all expected to be resilient because we have no choice.
[...]
Climate coloniality is perpetuated through global land and water grabs, REDD+ programs, neoliberal conservations projects, rare earth mineral mining, deforestation for growth, fossil fuel warfare, and new green revolutions for agriculture – which benefit a few while dispossessing larger numbers of historically-impoverished, often elsewhere.

#climatebreakdown impacts have been experienced across many historically-exploited #BIPOC communities of the #GlobalSouth for decades but warnings were unheeded in spaces of power globally where #GHG emissions were primarily coming from. Now that #ClimateJustice discourse has entered the fray, such historical sufferings should be compensated better. #LossAndDamage #Reparations #ClimateColoniality

Global South has been subsidizing the Global North for centuries. Climate coloniality extends imperialism, extraction, and colonial violence from the past to the present into the future. #ClimateColoniality #ClimateJustice

At the #AAG2023 conference I’ve organized multiple paper sessions & roundtable discussion panels on Confronting Climate Coloniality and it will be on fire! 🔥✊ Watch out for the program when it's out. #ClimateColoniality #ClimateJustice

Many thanks to DFG Humanities Centre for Advanced Studies “Futures of Sustainability” for inviting me to deliver the keynote lecture for the conference on 'CLIMATE COLONIALITY: MECHANISMS, EPISTEMOLOGIES, SPACES OF RESISTANCE'. Thanks to the many in the audience for the wonderful engagement & discussion thereafter.

Thanks will have a read. Looks good and on the face of it in agreement.

Can for now only add:

#ClimateColoniality is also "green transition", where extraction and exhaustion - mining, drilling production, disposal etc. - takes place far from the electric paradigm consumers in their battery driven cars and pump heated houses, while they tweet and toot self-glorifying messages in cyberspace, -- which is another electric planet-killing system that is worse than aviation in terms of energy use and pollution.

The "climate solutions" will be the end of it all, but it will buy some time and some conscience for the rich countries, who can drive exhaust free, and make life even more unbearable in the colonies.

Green transition, renewable energy and, in the widest sense, the electric paradigm replacing the oil paradigm, is Colonisation 2.0
