I really enjoyed reading this clear and forceful articulation of Marxist ecology, especially in the way it reframes environmental crisis as structurally produced rather than accidental. The “metabolic rift” framing is particularly effective because it translates ecological breakdown into a political-economic logic rather than a moral appeal. I also think the piece is strongest when it ties scientific consensus to a gap in political imagination - namely, that knowledge of crisis does not automatically produce a theory of transformation. During the planning of my podcast, Fault Lines Politics, I’ve considered covering Marxist ecology. If you give a brief listen to my current episodes, do you think this would be a viable episode? If so, I’d be happy to get in touch and potentially record that with you if you’re up for that.
