"Charlie Kirk, latest martyr of American Christendom, is exemplary of how the evangelical cult makes a mockery of the tenets of Jesus of Nazareth." ketcham99.substack.com/p/charlie-kirk…

@ClimateBen Howdy Ben, I’m a freelance enviro journalist interested in interviewing. Trying you yet again. Let me know if you can spare an hour to chat.

Remember: 1. The oceans are being killed. 2. Forests will soon be gone. 3. Fertile soil is disappearing. 4. Megafauna risk extermination. 5. Insects are vanishing. 6. Climate chaos is inevitable. 7. Extinction is now. 8. Plastic is in our blood. None of this is front page news.

@ClimateBen Ben, what's the source document (url) from which you're quoting here?

worth knowing: for maximum expected climate change 33-58% of species are expected to be committed to extinction by 2050

AI is making us stupider than the stupidity the internet (especially Twitter) has already inculcated in Homo technologicus. My op-ed piece in the LA Times: latimes.com/opinion/story/…

"Trump’s latest upending of conservation policy will be a disaster for wild landscapes and the creatures who live in them." My piece on the proposed rescission of the "roadless rule" in national forests: truthdig.com/articles/the-r…

@sweethellena hi Hellena, I'm a journalist working on a book about green-tech mining (such as for nickel in Indonesia). I'd like to interview you for my book. I'm at christopher.ketcham99 at gmail. Talk soon hopefully! ps: your report on nickel mining was beautiful and heartbreaking.

Makin ke sini makin ke sana. Dan bener-bener nggak ada niat menjelaskan, apalagi mempertanggungjawabkan. Rakyat disuruh maklum aja gitu. Nanti kalau dikritik dan dipertanyakan rakyat, malah kita yang dituding nyebar rumor dan hoaks.

It *can* happen here! US fascist shitheads on the rise, driven by Christian nationalism and oligarch cash. My interview with author @kathsstewart about her latest book MONEY, LIES, AND GOD thebaffler.com/latest/burn-do…

howdy all: this winter I spent a week camping with an anonymous Livestock Saboteur in the wilds of the Arizona high country. Here's my account of our trip together: thebaffler.com/salvos/wrenchi…

@ClimateBen Ben, I'm a freelance climate/ecology journalist. I'd like to interview you. Drop me a line: christopher.ketcham99@gmail.com

Two recent papers in particular confirm catastrophe. See thread x.com/ClimateBen/sta…

BREAKING: economic growth policies lock in unsurvivable levels of forest destruction plus all-pervasive, deadly pollution & wildlife poisoning with warming of 2°C and rising extremely rapidly by 2030-55 implying global collapse and extinction for 40-70% of species

Apropos of the United Healthcare CEO assassination, see my 2023 piece about Stephen P. McRae, "The Machine Breaker." "We discussed taking down the enemy—the Fortune 500 CEOs, say—and how the world would be a better place if they were all beheaded." Yep. harpers.org/archive/2023/1…

My piece, titled "Eat, Pray Pollute," on the needed death of tourism and the end of “the spectacled surveillance of place that effectively turns home, for local residents, into a turnstile Disneyland.” counterpunch.org/2024/09/30/eat…

@aashisjo Aashis, please drop me a note and let’s do an interview on this subject. my email: christopher.ketcham99 at gmail

I urge degrowth & other climate action researchers to keep in mind that all extraction adds damages to people & ecosystems somewhere, & challenge them to rise above techno-modernist ideology to envision radical alternative ways of organizing our lives & societies. 1/

@Race2Extinct Lyle, how do i get a review copy of yr book?

This book provides readers with a panorama of the convergence of humanity and our planet in both time and space.

@ProfBillMcGuire Thanks Bill. I try to waste as little time as possible on the moronic mire of X/Twitter/Twatter, but your endorsement of this piece matters.

@PeterGelderloos Great piece. I've written at length about the green growth scam and am working on a book about ecological revolt, direct action, sabotage, and the like. Peter: drop me a note and let's talk: christopher.ketcham99 at gmail

When we look at the countries that are held up as success stories, we find that the green energy transition is being paid for by fossil fuel production. It’s being paid for by the logging and mining industries that deplete and poison our clean water. 1/3 inthesetimes.com/article/inflat…

@aashisjo Aashis — I’m an enviro and ecology reporter who has covered degrowth. You can find my work at christopherketcham.com. I’d like to interview you. My email: christopher.ketcham99 at gmail

Why weren't any Global South researchers and scholars interviewed for this Guardian article on degrowth? Why do Global North scholars think they can speak for us? They don't represent us at all. Stop telling us what's good for us & what we need. 1/ theguardian.com/environment/ar…
