Amitav Ghosh, who is about equally known as a novelist and an essayist, begins this terrifying book--really a "cri du coeur"-- by asking why anthropogenic climate change, the central crisis of our time, is nearly absent from contemporary fiction. This question initially struck me as odd and narrowly-focused and poorly reflective of the broader societal response to the problem. But he devotes most of the rest of the book to showing that the absence of climate change from fiction is indeed reflective of society's unwillingness to confront it at all. Why? Because of its scale, its pervasiveness, its dreadful implications for the future; the perfect conditions to trigger denial. Ghosh compares the texts of the 2016 Paris Agreement and Pope Francis' environmental encyclical "Laudato Si." Of the first, he writes: "The Agreement's rhetoric serves to clarify much that it leaves unsaid; namely, that its intention and the essence of what it has achieved, is to create yet another neo-liberalfrontier where corporations, entrepreneurs, and public officials will be able to join forces in enriching each other." He is much more sanguine about the encyclical, seeing it as a moral guidepost to effective action, if not a directly applicable one. But to what extent can moral force overcome entrenched interests, short-term vision, and institutionalized hypocrisy?Two more observations: (1) This display of Ghosh's wide-ranging erudition encompasses many allusions unfamiliar to American readers. Because I teach tropical ecology I am familiar with the Sundurbans. I am not familiar with many of the South Asian writers and thinkers referenced here. I hope other readers will be motivated, as I am, to learn more about them. (2) On page 5 Ghosh refers to the Lake Nyos outgassing disaster, in which some 1700 people died. He says Lake Nyos is in the Congo. It's in Cameroon. The error has no impact on the message of the book, but it's annoying that it got through the editing process.
This book, though very short, has many valuable ideas that one doesn't encounter often in discussions of climate change in the West, such as how critique of empire is neglected for critique of capitalism, when in fact they are two separate issues. His discussion of why coal leads to more worker solidarity than oil is also something I haven't seen addressed elsewhere, and he generally thinks through climate change in original ways. However he completely lost me at the end when he compared the Pope's encyclical with the Paris Accord -- criticizing Paris for being written by a committee and neglecting completely the fact that it was binding among governments whereas the Pope didn't have to get anyone to agree to do anything. His conclusion that religious groups might be our only hope seemed bonkers -- most of the rational European West is increasingly secular -- and most of the power is in this West. The religious American Right of course opposes the idea of climate change, and I doubt that Islamic countries which are heavily dependent on oil revenues will move this way. China is not religious, and as he points out in India there is a move toward increased accumulation of Western things. The Pope can't speak for birth control and women having many children won't help. Buddhists? So far not a very powerful force in world politics that I can see. Anyhow, his conclusion disappointed me and colored my overall feeling for the book.
An excellent, informed, wide-ranging analysis of what the arts might do in the service of communicating climate change. Ghosh's three part structure ("Stories," "History," "Politics") allows him to cover a remarkable breadth of social conditions which have left us unprepared and perhaps unable to face the climate challenge. Especially pointed in its description of what it sees as the challenges for Asia, and for South Asia specifically, in gearing up for this new era already upon us.
I very strongly recommend this book. "Where was I at 400 ppm?" should be asked on all campuses by all students. We need to change the way humanity thinks, and Gosh helps point out where the problem lies, in part. There are so many insights in this book in historical, cultural, and political economy terms that it's really too hard to write about them here.In parts two and three Gosh shares his insights into the role of fossil fuel's role in imperialism, cultural chauvinism, technological innovation, and climate denialism. I asked, "When's the last time you were reminded that imperialism actually helps slow the addition of carbon dioxide to the?". Well, Gosh reminds readers that by controlling the growth of non-carbon societies like India and China, they slowed the increase in carbon dioxide, although unwittingly, unknowingly, violently. Fossil fuel driven economies did not care.One of the reasons we don't care is that anywhere we look in our culture we find individualized modes of expression and symbolism. We find the role of capital and the drive for the greatest return in the shortest time leading to environmental suicide. Meanwhile, the collective mindset, the holistic view of the earth for the long-term goes unheeded. These are my terms and I cannot hope to match Gosh's control of the English language in print. I can only recommend that you read this book and lead others to. Talk with others about this book and the role of the arts, religion, and literature in climate denial. It's very important.Eddie Evans - ClimateDeception.Net
This is an outstanding analysis of the inevitable disasters that is global warming and the total unpreparedness of the west to deal with it. I just hope that this will not unfold during my children's lives....
This is the deepest analysis of the cultural causes of climate change I have seen anywhere, and I have been looking. Delightfully not Western in point of view, yet well informed of it. Mr. Ghosh is very well read, and in history too. He is one of a very few people who who could have written this book; a great contribution.
