Fossil Capital at ten
With the publication of Fossil Capital in 2016, Andreas Malm reshaped how scholars understand the relationship between capitalism and fossil fuels. Energy humanities scholars Caleb Wellum and Imre Szeman interviewed Malm in November 2024 about the arguments and impact of Fossil Capital, the development of his thought in several subsequent books, and the shifting landscape of climate politics. At a time when the stakes of climate politics have nev…
Green national paradox? How the far right turned Sweden from a (reputed) pioneer of climate mitigation to an obstructor
Political ecologies of the far right
This volume engages with the alarming convergence of far right thinking and the ecological crisis in contemporary society. Growing out of the first international conference on political ecologies of the far right, the volume gathers crucial insights from authorities in the field as well as promising early career researchers. With cases ranging from ethnographical accounts of fossil fuel populist protest, historical analysis of the evangelical sup…
The Future is the Termination Shock
As capitalist society remains incapable of addressing climate breakdown, one measure is waiting in the wings: solar geoengineering. No other technology can cut global temperatures immediately. It would alleviate the symptoms of the crisis, not its causes. But might it be combined with radical emissions cuts? This essay, the final instalment of two, subjects geoengineering to a materialist psychoanalysis and argues that it represents a fantasy of …

White Skin, Black Fuel
In recent years, the far right has done everything in its power to accelerate the heating: an American president who believes it is a hoax has removed limits on fossil fuel production. The Brazilian president has opened the Amazon and watched it burn. In Europe, parties denying the crisis and insisting on maximum combustion have stormed into office, from Sweden to Spain. On the brink of breakdown, the forces most aggressively promoting business-a…
Seize the Means of Carbon Removal
The left must confront the politics of removing carbon from the atmosphere – a topic rapidly making its way to the top of the climate agenda. We here examine the technology of direct air capture, tracing its intellectual origins and laying bare the political economy of its current manifestations. We find a space crowded with ideology-laden metaphors, ample fossil-capital entanglements and bold visions for a new, ethereal frontier of capital accum…
C arolyn M erchant . The Anthropocene and the Humanities
Carolyn Merchant is a household name in environmental history; The Death of Nature: Women, Ecology, and the Scientific Revolution (1980) still has a towering presence in the field. After its appearance, Merchant has continued to publish widely on topics in environmental history and ethics, with a feminist sensibility—somewhat toned down over the years—and broad, interdisciplinary erudition. Her latest book is an entry into the crowded (some would…
The refugee post-migration stress scale (RPMS) – development and validation among refugees from Syria recently resettled in Sweden
The newly developed RPMS appears to be a valid instrument for assessing refugee post-migration stress. Our findings that post-migration stress primarily relating to social and economic factors seems to be associated with mental ill health among refugees is in line with previous research
How to Blow up a Pipeline
Property will cost us the earth. The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest' In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and sab…
In Wildness Is the Liberation of the World
For good reasons, the green movement turned from wilderness to environmental justice as its central category in the 1980s and ’90s. Today, several leading wilderness advocates seem to compete for the most reactionary positions, particularly on the issue of migration. A case can, however, be made for a progressive, cosmopolitan, Marxist view of wilderness as a space less fully subjugated to capital than others. There is a long history of exploited…
Marx on Steam
In the light of climate change, the steam engine appears as one of the most momentous productive forces in history. This essay traces Karl Marx's shifting thoughts on that particular technology, arguing that his oeuvre exhibits a break: the young Marx espoused productive-force determinism and considered the steam engine a force of progress while the mature Marx tended to regard the relations of production as determinant. Steam power then arose as…
Against Hybridism
It is fashionable to argue that nature and society are obsolete categories. The two, we are told, can no longer be distinguished from one another; continuing loyalty to the 'binary' of the natural and the social blinds us to the logic of current ecological crises. This article outlines an argument for the opposite position: now more than ever - particularly in our rapidly warming world - we need to sift out the social components from the natural,…
Prevalence of mental ill health, traumas and postmigration stress among refugees from Syria resettled in Sweden after 2011
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of and associations between anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), low subjective well-being (SWB), potential traumas and postmigration stress among refugees from Syria resettled in Sweden. DESIGN: A cross-sectional and population-based questionnaire study based on a known and complete sample frame. The survey included multiple measures of mental ill health and factors of particular rele…
Development and Preliminary Validation of Refugee Trauma History Checklist (RTHC)—A Brief Checklist for Survey Studies
The proposed refugee trauma history checklist (RTHC) consists of 2 × 8 items, concerning PTEs that occurred before and during the respondents' flight, respectively. Results show low item non-response and adequate psychometric properties Conclusion: RTHC is a usable tool for providing self-report data on refugee trauma history surveys of community samples. The core set of included events can be augmented and slight modifications can be applied to …
For a Fallible and Lovable Marx
Nature et société
Among sociologists and philosophers now taking into account the interactions between the « social » and the « naturel », in the light of present crises, an anti-dualist position is frequently and strongly invocated. In the case of Bruno Latour, or indeed certain thinkers close to Marxism, such as Jason Moore, it is affirmed that there is not, on the one hand, nature and, on the other hand, society. The intermingling and intrication, it is argued,…
Yes, it is all about fetishism
Daniel Cunha misreads us as suggesting that climate change has been a conscious and deliberate strategy of a global elite. This was very clearly not our suggestion. He proposes that the Marxian concept of fetishism is applicable to anthropogenic climate change, apparently unaware of our recurrent use of precisely this concept in a number of publications over the past decades. We thus fundamentally agree with his position, but find his critique of…
This is the Hell that I have Heard of
How can the realities of global warming be made visible in literary texts? After the rise of 'cli-fi', it might be time to return to a trove of literature written long before the discoveries of climate science: fiction about fossil fuels. It is filled with premonitions of disasters, such as extreme heat and terrible storms. Focusing on two texts - Ghassan Kanafani's Men in the Sun and Joseph Conrad's Typhoon - this essay makes a case for developi…
Green Fix” as Crisis Management. Or, in Which World Is Malmö the World's Greenest City
As economic and ecological crises evolve in combination, some policy strategies might aim at killing the two birds with one stone. One recent example can be found in Malmö, Sweden, where crisis management has operated, we propose, as a green fix. The district of Västra hamnen (Western Harbour) is at the centre of the reinvention of the city: once the home of a world‐leading shipyard, it is now a no less prominent neighbourhood of ecological virtu…
The geology of mankind? A critique of the Anthropocene narrative
The Anthropocene narrative portrays humanity as a species ascending to power over the rest of the Earth System. In the crucial field of climate change, this entails the attribution of fossil fuel combustion to properties acquired during human evolution, notably the ability to manipulate fire. But the fossil economy was not created nor is it upheld by humankind in general. This intervention questions the use of the species category in the Anthropo…
Tahrir Submerged? Five Theses on Revolution in the Era of Climate Change
While Tahrir Square has become the iconic space—open, exuberant, jam-packed with power, bristling with possibilities—for the wave of rebellions sweeping the globe since 2011, another space has open
The Origins of Fossil Capital
The process commonly referred to as business-as-usual has given rise to dangerous climate change, but its social history remains strangely unexplored. A key moment in its onset was the transition to steam power as a source of rotary motion in commodity production, in Britain and, first of all, in its cotton industry. This article tries to approach the dynamics of the fossil economy by examining the causes of the transition from water to steam in …
Fleeing the Flowing Commons
In the 1820s and 1830s, British industry faced a choice between two energy sources to fuel its expansion: water and coal. A series of water reservoir schemes were proposed to scale up the power capacity of rivers in the central manufacturing districts, but the schemes with the largest potentials were never realized. Instead, the industry veered toward steam power, fatefully linking self-sustaining growth to the combustion of coal for mechanical e…
Ways In and Out of Vulnerability to Climate Change
Climate change is already exerting significant pressure on humanity, but some people have the resources to cope, while others do not. What, then, determines vulnerability to climate change? This article presents a case study of one site of vulnerability in Egypt, known as the Mubarak Project villages on the shores of the Mediterranean. The soil of these villages is now undergoing rapid salinization, forcing farmers to apply sand to “elevate” thei…

Doubly dispossessed by accumulation
In a corner of the Egyptian revolutionary drama, the fisherfolk of the northern Nile Delta have begun to organise. They suffer an indicative predicament. The two great lagoons of Borullus and Manzala have largely been enclosed by fish farms as the Mubarak regime sought to expand Egypt's aquaculture industry. On the other hand, the sea is threatening to submerge the ground on which the very same fishing communities are based. How can we understand…

Sea Wall Politics
As global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions seem an ever more distant prospect, attention has turned to adaptation to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. On the key frontier of sea level rise, this amounts to the injunction 'build sea walls'. But what are the implications of a scramble for coastal protection technologies? This article explores sea wall politics in one of the countries most vulnerable to sea level rise: Egypt. It is sh…

China as Chimney of the World
What has caused the early 21st-century emissions explosion in China? Driving a global explosion, it appears to stand in some relation to processes of globalization, but these links have mostly remained unexplored. This article revisits some established frameworks for understanding the connection between globalization and environmental degradation and argues that they are insufficient for explaining the Chinese explosion. A new hypothesis is outli…
