Overshoot Quotes

“The overshoot conjuncture arises out of the failure to fulfil the historical task of asset stranding, or the political destruction of fossil capital. But sooner or later, one way or another, some anthropogenic forces will have to face up to this task and execute it. The alternative is unlimited combustion, or the maximum realisation of the potentials for catastrophe.”
― Andreas Malm, Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown

“If it is now too late to prevent warming of 1.5°C, it is then too late, above all, and for that very reason, to give up on the struggle against fossil capital.”
― Andreas Malm, Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown
