From the Guardian: "Along with human overpopulation, the principal driver of the accelerating eco-crisis ... is precisely capitalism"

Response: No, Greens must not cosy up to capitalism. They must resist it | Comment is free | The Guardian
Along with human overpopulation, the principal driver of the accelerating eco-crisis – anthropogenic climate change, biodiversity crash, destruction and degradation of wild habitat, and a virtual holocaust of animal species – is precisely capitalism. Far from being realistic, to propose as a solution more of what is causing the problem is nothing less than delusional. Any green movement worth its name must therefore resist industrial capitalism, however hopeless that may appear, and the only serious questions concern how.
