There is still time to avoid catastrophic warming but not within the rules of capitalism as they are currently constructed.

From NYT review

As the science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson observed, when it comes to the environment, the invisible hand never picks up the check.

This is what is so hard,  if not seeming impossible,  to tell the people who cling to this free-market fundamentalism.  If the people running the “free market” simply plow ahead, refusing to put on the brakes due to the warnings of scientists, then we DONT HAVE a “free market”.  We have a captive one.  “Let the market handle it” is similar to the Evangelical Right wing “Left Behind” Christian eschatology which  reasons that “God will direct the results” and so we are powerless to act.  It’s been the “dream” of the keepers of the status quo for centuries (even millinea).   It is convincing the peasantry of the inevitability of “the way things are”.

Imhoffe of Oklahoma actually uses this in his argument against the idea of global warming.  He says that “God is still up there,  and that it is the utmost in hubris to assume that we can outdo God’s plan for creation.  When I heard a clip of him saying that last night,  I answered aloud :”THAT, Mister,  is the quintissential statement of human pride,  which jettisons the responsibility we have as stewards of the environment.  This bullshit about “not being capable of affecting the environment, which is God’s” ,  is a nonsense circular theological argument,  and thoroughly unBiblical.

The idea in Genesis for “Dominion’ is not “dominance”,  but “care”.  Our location in creation is not “position” from which he have “dominance”,  but “participation” in which we are called to be responsible and enablers of justice that keeps the system sustainable.    This is ecotheology in a nutshell.  It repudiates “Dominion” as dominance, exploitation, and extractive. If we lose track of our interdependence within the ecosystem,  we fall guilty to the sin of pride and hubris, and fall under the curse of Babel.  We outstrip our humble and servant role as participants in creation.
