Onslaught of the Oily Authoritarians
Show Notes

The climate-science community is urging the world’s governments to take dramatic, unprecedented action to prevent catastrophic heating of the Earth. Meanwhile, the precarious state of democracy in the U.S. raises a disturbing question: In the months and years ahead, how much sociopolitical space will remain open to push for the bold climate action we must achieve within the coming decade?  Stan Cox examines the crisis of representative government in the U.S., and considers a question some are asking: Does the drift toward autocracy even matter? He then lays out the intimate connections between the political and ecological perils that loom in the near future.
