A Ghost Agreement

by George Monbiot from his blog

People who write articles like this simply do not understand, or refuse to understand, the fundamental contradictions between the dynamics of capitalism and ecology.
When they meet to consider the gradual collapse of the natural world, they send their office cleaners and defer the hard choices for another ten years, while the media doesn’t even notice that they have failed to produce a written agreement. 
"They" and the "media" are one and the same--just different components of the capitalist system.
