Dystopian Discourse

Living in the Anthropocene is Climate Chaos


Listen Later

In this episode we launch into the theme we’ll be referring to as: climate chaos. 

The current administration is on a mission to pour gasoline on the flames that is climate change, removing Biden-era subsidies to green energy and ramping up investments in the coal industry. The depraved decision to rescind the EPA’s endangerment finding is just one example in a slew of moves to accelerate environmental degradation, all for the purpose of propping up polluting corporations and stuffing the pockets of the already unethically wealthy. 

Learn how these events connect to the dystopic themes and circumstances present in Octavia E. Butler’s 1993 novel and speculative fiction, Parable of the Sower.
