Global Climate Justice Anthony Burke, Stefanie Fishel, Audra Mitchell, Simon Dalby, and Daniel J. Levine, 'Planet Politics: A Manifesto from the End of IR', Millennium, vol. 44, no. 3 (2016), 499-523 · 'Planet politics must emerge as an alternative thought and process: a politics to nurture worlds for all humans and species co-living in the biosphere. The local, national, and global no longer define our only spaces of action. The planet has long been that space which bears the scars of human will: in transforming the world into our world, we damaged and transformed it to suit our purposes. It now demands a new kind of responsibility, binding environmental justice and social justice inextricably together' p.500 . We need to adapt to the new world in which we have created. We have created a terrifying world: 'Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere now exceed those experienced for over a million years, and global greenhouse emissions trends show the planet hurtling towards a world, in this century, that is three to five degrees warmer than the preindustrial era. This is a world of melted ice caps and permafrost, flooded cities, oceans so acidic they cannot support life, and the loss of the Amazon's rainforests. Ocean acidification, pollution, and overfishing may also cause the collapse of all major marine fisheries by mid-century. At least 617 species of vertebrates have become extinct in the wild since 1500, exceeding the ‘background rate' of extinction by over 100, and half the Earth's wild animals have disappeared in the last four decades. All this is looming as much of the world suffers under a burden of extreme poverty and inequality, and communities from the Niger Delta to Bangladesh are condemned to live in 'sacrifice zones' devastated by oil drilling, mining, fracking, pollution, nuclear testing, and inundation' p.500 · 2015 Paris agreement gave some hope that international society may reverse this but in reality it provided no firm or enforceable plans . The nuclear bomb provided a break in history whereby some saw the gulf between the 'real and the sensible in the image of our potential extinction' and earth system science had shown how total extinction could be p.503 . 'As the world is hurtling towards a disastrous 'four degree world' affected by irreversible climate change, we must ask a new question: Can we match the planet with our politics? We are concerned that International Relations, as both a field of knowledge and a global system of institutions, is failing the planet. A state-centric world obsessed with bargaining, power and interests, which talks arrogantly of an atmosphere divided into 'carbon space' divided by national borders, and in which the state is the handmaiden of a capitalism which sees nature as mere material in wait of profit, is failing the reality of the planet.' P.504 . 'Our fundamental image of the world must be revolutionised. Our existence is neither international nor global, but planetary. Our anthropocentric, state-centric, and capital-centric image of international relations and world politics is
