"Bzzzzzz. Zzzzz ... zzzzz ... zzzzz ... me!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_rift

Notably is Wiki's undercutting of what she said (before the fact, of course, expect that to be changed in short order):

Foster, rather than Marx, coined the term “metabolic rift”. Foster argues the theory develops from Marx's earlier work in the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts on species-being and the relationship between humans and nature. Metabolism is Marx's "mature analysis of the alienation of nature"[2]: ix and presents "a more solid—and scientific—way in which to depict the complex, dynamic interchange between human beings and nature, resulting from human labor."

It's an attempt to rehabilitate socialism ecological nightmares and make Marx "green", or at least red/green plaid.
