1. A hypothesis as political fiction: the explosion of inequalities and the denial of climate change are one and the same phenomenon -- 2. Thanks to America's abandonment of the climate agreement, we now know clearly what war has been declared -- 3. The question of migrations now concerns everyone, offering a new and very wicked universality: finding oneself deprived of ground -- 4. One must take care not to confuse globalization-plus with globalization-minus -- 5. How the globalist ruling classes have decided to abandon all the burdens of solidarity, little by little -- 6. The abandonment of a common world leads to epistemological delirium -- 7. The appearance of a third pole undoes the classical organization of modernity torn between the first two poles, the Local and the Global -- 8. The invention of "Trumpism" makes it possible to identify a fourth attractor, the Out-of-This-World -- 9. In identifying the attractor we can call Terrestrial, we identify a new geopolitical organization -- 10. Why the successes of political ecology have never been commensurate with the stakes -- 11. Why political ecology has had so much trouble breaking away from the Right/Left opposition -- 12. How to ensure the relay between social struggles and ecological struggles -- 13. The class struggle becomes a struggle among geosocial positions -- 14. The detour by way of history makes it possible to understand how a certain notion of "nature" has immobilized political positions -- 15. We must succeed in breaking the spell of "nature" as it has been pinned down by the modern vision of the Left/Right opposition -- 16. A world composed of objects does not have the same type of resistance as a world composed of agents -- 17. The sciences of the Critical Zone do not have the same political functions as those of the other natural sciences -- 18. The contradiction between the system of production and the system of engendering is heating up -- 19. A new attempt at describing dwelling places-France's ledgers of complaints as a possible model -- 20. A personal defense of the Old Continent.
