At the heart of this is an addiction to growth, premised on the assumption of unlimited accumulation. Capitalist modernity, with its mastery of science and technology, has convinced capital that it is the conqueror of nature as well as its master. . As a master, it seeks to reduce nature to being a commodity, while ending an alternative conception of nature: nature as a commons. . This commodifying illusion informs the market-based techno-fixes of capital, such as carbon trading, which operate with the idea of no limits to capital. But the world is facing finite resources, over-consumption by a few and widespread pollution of rivers, land, forests, oceans and the biosphere. . Hence, with capital prevailing over the UN climate process, we are heading for the fast death of our future.
