The Competing Stakes of the Planetary Petrochemical Crisis

Author:

Abstract

This chapter examines the competing stakes in the planetary petrochemical crisis: the escalating threat of the petrochemical industry to planetary life, and the threat of the ecological crisis for the future of petro-capitalism. First, it addresses the problem of interpreting and responding to ecological crisis, particularly the tension between urgency and justice, engaging in work by Indigenous environmental justice scholars, political ecologists, climate activists, and social scientists. Next, it examines threats to multispecies life on the planet on the one hand, and the future survival of the petrochemical industry (including the role of regulations) on the other, outlining a collision course between opposing worldviews and systems. The chapter concludes with a reflection on social and ecological tipping points.
