“Our problem is that the climate crisis hatched in our laps at a moment in history when political and social conditions were uniquely hostile to a problem of this nature and magnitude-that moment being the tail end of the go-go '80s, the blastoff point for the crusade to spread deregulated capitalism around the world. Climate change is a collective problem demanding collective action the likes of which humanity has never actually accomplished. Yet it entered mainstream consciousness in the midst of an ideological war being waged on the very idea of the collective sphere.” WorldIdeasWarEndsMomentsProblemActionSciencePoliticalHumanitySocialNatureNaturalConsciousnessConditionsCapitalismCrisisClimateClimate ChangeSpreadLikesAround The WorldAccomplishedCollectivesMidstThat MomentSpheresMainstreamTailsHostile80sLapIdeologicalMagnitudeCrusadesSocial ConditionsCollective Action Author:Naomi Klein

“Regardless of the extent to which the media promote "politically correct," but scientifically wrong, resolutions from professional societies such as the American Anthropological Association, facts remain facts and require appropriate scientific, not political or ideological, explanation. None of this should be construed as meaning that environmental factors play no part in individual and group differences.
