The Guardian:
"Colombian President Gustavo Petro warned on Tuesday that the current model of fossil fuel-driven capitalism was leading the world into 'barbarism' and 'fascism.'
According to a Wednesday report from The Guardian, Petro told attendees of the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels being held in Santa Marta, Colombia that capitalism’s insistence on continued fossil fuel dependence was 'suicidal' and driving the world toward more conflict.
'There is inertia in the power and the economy of this archaic form of energy—fossil fuels—that lead to death,' said Petro. 'Undoubtedly, that form of capital can commit suicide, taking with it humanity and [other] life... The question that needs to be asked is whether capitalism can truly adapt to a non-fossil energy model.' ”
-->Colombia has been in the news recently. The most important part of this coverage is the fact that our present form of capitalism is driving the world to suicide. The NYT has always been a fortress of capitalism, and it didn't cover this story.
