AB 154: Fake Planet
AB 154: Fake Planet
On the back cover of the first issue of Adbusters, published back in 1989, was a stern-looking Planet Earth pointing an accusing finger: I WANT YOU TO CURB YOUR CONSUMPTION.
The world was in a phase change. The Berlin Wall was about to fall. Solidarity was in the air, and the environmental movement was driving it. We’d seen the whole Earth from space and by God it looked vulnerable, hanging out there in the darkness.
Environmentalism wasn’t some kind of consensus we all arrived at: it was an existential reaction that prompted a million gut-level responses.
But let’s face it: fifty years of environmental activism has added up to little more than a rounding error on the climate emergency.
Now we need to go deep-down, system-wide, third-order.
So, in this issue we sink our teeth into the problem of climate change and shake loose one mighty idea — the mother of all metamemes — that’ll show the world a way out of the existential fix we’re in.

Why are the items in your store only available in US dollars?
The majority of our subscriber base is located in the the United States. If you are a Canadian subscriber, please contact us at subscriptions@adbusters.org or call 1-604-736-9401 to learn more about obtaining a Canadian discount. You will still be charged in USD at the most current exchange rate, but the discount will neutralize that plus a bit more!
Do you have a student rate for subscriptions?
You can receive a Student Discount of 50% off a one-year print or digital subscription by contacting us at subscriptions@adbusters.org. You will be asked to provide your student ID number and the name of your institution.
How come the discount code does not apply correctly?
Our Culture Shop (Shopify) only accepts one discount code per order. You must remove the existing discount before applying a different one. If you would like to use multiple discount codes on different items, you might want to consider placing separate orders. If you need any further assistance on applying discount codes, please contact us at info@adbusters.org.
* Please note that no discount codes are applicable to recurring subscriptions.
Why should I support Adbusters?
Adbusters is one of a handful of magazines in the world that receives zero funding from advertising (print or online), corporate sponsorship or government/foundation grants. We are entirely reader-supported, allowing us to remain fiercely independent in what we do and say. We operate as a non-profit organization, which means that every dollar we raise through the sales of our magazines and other merchandise goes directly back into our campaigns and the production of the magazine. When you subscribe to Adbusters, you are joining a network of artists and activists committed to speaking truth to power around the world.
