<div class=f-body><p>Rather than the ultimate causes of global warming, our focus in this issue is the way its spectre is put to work by the developed world. Climate change gives the developed world licence to check and restructure development in the South, impose austerity measures on domestic populations, or to break its own dependency on oil-producing nations that won't, despite military intervention, toe the neoliberal line. On the other hand, as capital pits whole regions against each other in the battle over development and control of energy resources, much of the left has pioneered (and recycles) the now dominant Malthusian moralism regarding behaviour modification and the need to limit consumption. If climate change is going to provide a focus for anti-capitalist struggle it must be seen for what it is − a problem of capitalism, not 'man' per se.</p> <p>2007-04, ISSN 1356-7748-205 & ISBN 978190649614</p> </div><div class="accordion"><h3 class="accordionButton"><a href="#">FURTHER DESCRIPTION</a></h3><div class="cart accordionContent"><div class=f-field_further_description><div> <p><strong>Capital Climes</strong></p> <p>Will Barnes on the inhuman agent of global warming</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Act Macro</strong></p> <p>James Woudhuysen on technological alternatives to green austerity</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Climate Change Colonialism</strong></p> <p>Tim Forsyth and Zoe Young on the mechanisms of global climate change governance</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Promised Lands</strong></p> <p>Kate Rich on corporate IT's bad impersonation of neo-commoning</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Apocalypse And/Or Business as Usual</strong></p> <p>George Caffentzis plots the Bush Administration's green swerve</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Heavy Opera</strong></p> <p>Anthony Iles reviews John Jordan and James Hewitt's climate change opera</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Guttural Cultural</strong></p> <p>Howard Slater on the polyphonic vocal polyrhythms of Ghedalia Tazartes</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Zombie Nation</strong></p> <p>Paul Helliwell argues that music in the 'Web 2.0' era is like the corpse of relational aesthetics</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Mistaken As Red</strong></p> <p>Peter Suchin tries Art & Language's indictment of bourgeois political art on Lorraine Leeson's recent London retrospective</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Take Me I'm Yours</strong></p> <p>Anthony Davies exposes the neo-liberal bottom line of 'progressive' cultural institutions</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Expropriate, Accumulate, Financialise</strong></p> <p>Is the real problem neo-liberalism or capitalism?
