A Retrospective Assessment of The Limits of Growth. Monthly Review Vol. 74, No. 5 (October 2022) “Notes from the Editors, October
2022” by The
Editors. https://monthlyreview.org/2022/10/01/mr-074-05-2022-09_0/ This year is the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most
influential, and also controversial, environmental studies ever written: The Club of Rome’s report, The Limits to Growth (New
York: Universe, 1972) by Donella H. Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jørgen
Randers, and William W. Behrens III. No other environmental work of the 1970s
offered such a direct challenge to the underlying assumptions of capitalist
neoclassical growth economics or was responded to so vehemently by
establishment thinkers. . . . POPULATION CONNECTIONS to CLIMATE CHANGE |
Yellow Dot Studios announced its debut with a satirical commercial for
"Big Money." The
filmmaker-producer team behind Don't Look Up launched a new
climate-focused, "anti-bullshit" media venture Tuesday with a spoof
advertisement for "Big Money."
The satirical video is the first offering from Academy Award-winning
writer-director-producer Adam McKay's
new Yellow Dot Studios, a nonprofit
devoted to counteracting decades of fossil fuel-funded misinformation about
the climate emergency. "The climate is
changing much faster than large swathes of our media are telling us, and
there is no time to waste," McKay said in a statement. "Oil
companies' horrible and destructive disinformation created decades of delay
in dealing with climate breakdown. Yellow Dot's goal is to push back, whether
that's through in-house videos, or videos for climate orgs and activist
groups, to help get people involved and activated at a rapid pace." MORE
