Austerity Ecology & the Collapse-Porn Addicts: A Defence of Growth, Progress, Industry and Stuff


Description

Economic growth, progress, industry and, erm, stuff have all come in for a sharp kicking from the green left and beyond in recent years. Everyone from black-hoodied Starbucks window-smashers to farmers' market heirloom-tomato-mongers to Prince Charles himself seem to be embracing 'degrowth' and anti-consumerism, which is nothing less than a form of ecological austerity. Meanwhile, the back-to-the-land ideology and aesthetic of locally-woven organic carrot-pants, pathogen-encrusted compost toilets and civilisational collapse is hegemonic. Yet modernity is not the cause of climate change and the wider biocrisis. It is indeed capitalism that is the source of our environmental woes, but capitalism as a mode of production, not the fuzzy understanding of capitalism of Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben, Derrick Jensen, Paul Kingsnorth and their anarcho-liberal epigones as a sort of globalist corporate malfeasance. In combative and puckish style, science journalist Leigh Phillips marshals evidence from climate science, ecology, paleoanthropology, agronomy, microbiology, psychology, history, the philosophy of mathematics, and heterodox economics to argue that progressives must rediscover their historic, Promethean ambitions and counter this reactionary neo-Malthusian ideology that not only retards human flourishing, but won't save the planet anyway. We want to take over the machine and run it rationally, not turn the machine off.

How could a loving God send people to hell? Will people have a chance after they die to believe in Jesus and go to heaven? With a humble respect for God\'s Word, Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle address the deepest Austerity Ecology & the Collapse-Porn Addicts: A Defence of Growth, Progress, Industry and Stuff download epub questions you have about eternal destiny. They\'ve asked the same questions. Like you, sometimes they just don\'t want to believe in hell. But as they write, \"We cannot afford to be wrong on this issue.\" This is not a book about who is saying what. It\'s a book about what God says. It\'s not a book about impersonal theological issues. It\'s a book about people who God loves. It\'s not a book about arguments, doctrine, or being right. It\'s a book about the character of God. Erasing Hell will immerse you in the truth of Scripture as, together with the authors, you find not only the truth but the courage to live it out.
