This is the February 2022 version of the #climate talk by the late #WillSteffen : "#Anthropocene – where on Earth are we going?" https://yewtu.be/watch?v=t2C6NfFIK_g
He explains how the #Anthroposphere not only rapes the #biosphere but also itself:
The explosion in resource use and biodiversity loss since 1950 was ignited and then systematically forced on all others by the people in rich countries. As a continuation of the well-known theme "The Great Acceleration", he shows slides for #inequality, #crime rate and so on. So, the starkest inequality within a society, the richest 1% vs the rest, and the starkest figures on accelerating #crime rate, deteriorating health, health care, ..., also come from the richest countries. They rape their own and all others.

Some therefore call it the Capitalocene. I call it the Econobscene – because it's driven by the intellectually inflexible mainstream economists #economics who set the agenda for all mankind via advising and justifying predatory politics and entrepreneurs.

In the 2019 version of his #climate talk "#Anthropocene – where are we going?", the late #WillSteffen explains how the #Anthroposphere not only rapes the #biosphere but also itself: in that version, he added slides of U.S. #inequality and #crime rate and so on, as a continuation of the well-known theme "The Great Acceleration".
Will Steffen's talk opened my eyes wrt #capitalism and its incompatibility with a habitable, global-civilisation-carrying planet. https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=XrpQ8myeFOc
