"From the “insect apocalypse” to the “biological annihilation” of 60
percent of all wild animals in the past 50 years, life is careening
across every planetary boundary that might stop it from experiencing a
“Great Dying” once more.
But the atrocity unfolding in the Amazon, and across the Earth, has no
geological analogue — to call it the “sixth extinction event” is to make
what is an active, organized eradication sound like some kind of passive
accident. This is no asteroid or volcanic eruption or slow accumulation
of oxygen in the atmosphere due to cyanobacteria photosynthesis.
We are in the midst of the First Extermination Event, the process by
which capital has pushed the Earth to the brink of the Necrocene, the
age of the new necrotic death."
