摘要

全球变暖给过去的两个世纪赋予了新的含义:自19世纪初以来,二氧化碳排放量飙升,使人类陷入前所未有的危机。本文概述了作为这一进程主要驱动力的化石经济研究的历史研究议程。它主张研究气候历史,而不是专注于气候波动如何影响过去的社会。当“人类世”的叙述指向人类作为化石燃料消耗的代理人时,这篇文章嗅到了一组更狭窄的嫌疑人。对殖民地印度和大英帝国其他地区的研究表明,帝国代理人在这些地区引入了大规模的煤炭开采和燃烧,但发现“当地人”对这个项目不感兴趣。谈到当今的印度,我认为,在研究全球变暖的历史动态时,不平等和资本积累应该成为关注的焦点。

Who Lit This Fire? Approaching the History of the Fossil Economy
Global warming projects new meaning onto the past two centuries: since the early nineteenth century CO2 emissions have soared, driving humanity into an unprecedented crisis. This article outlines a historical research agenda for the study of the fossil economy as the main driver of this process. It argues for studying history in climate, as distinct from the preoccupation with how climate fluctuations have affected societies in the past. While narratives of “the Anthropocene” point to the human species as the agent of fossil fuel consumption, this article scents a narrower set of suspects. Study of colonial India and other parts of the British Empire demonstrate that imperial agents introduced large-scale extraction and combustion of coal in those areas but found the “natives” ill-disposed to the project. Turning to present-day India, I argue that inequality and capital accumulation should be in focus when studying the historical dynamics of our warming world.
