Spy Fortnightly Profile; Dianne Dumanoski

In a sobering but realistic profile of humanitys negative impact on global planetary systems, author Dianne Dumanoski, our fall Spy Chat speaker (in partnership with Washington Colleges Center for Environment & Society), makes a eloquent argument that the radical experiment of our modern industrial civilization is now disrupting our planets very metabolism. Dumanoski believes that our climate is changing faster than original scientific models predicted, in unexpected ways, and with dangerous consequences. Given the increasingly short window for action, politicians and the traditional media have done little to heed the warnings and avert crisis. Humanitys future, Dumanoski argues, will depend on our ability to return to systems based on flexibility, diversity, redundancy, and community and away from current trends that rely on technological fixes, unsustainable economic models of growth, and excessive globalization.
