Cause and effect in climate and ecocide

I’m still thinking about systems, developing ideas about levelling up and leveraging action.

This is a refresh of some old work, about the dynamic interrelationships between climate change, resource extraction, biocide and resource scarcity. Ecocidal thinking and ‘business as usual’ is at the black heart of this dynamic, with oil a black thread running throughout. The key point here is that biocide worsens climate change impacts, which in turn massively damages biosphere health. The colours red, purple, blue and orange are meant to show the overlaps – but an accurate diagram would be a lot more rainbow, or perhaps murky brown.
