"Beyond
Hope: Losing hope may kill part of you, but that's actually a good
thing," Orion Magazine, (May-June, 2006).
"THE
MOST COMMON WORDS I hear spoken by any environmentalists anywhere
are, We're fucked....
But
no matter what environmentalists do, our best efforts are insufficient.
We're losing badly, on every front. Those in power are hell-bent
on destroying the planet, and most people don't care.
Frankly, I don't have much hope. But I
think that's a good thing. Hope is what keeps us chained to the
system, the conglomerate of people and ideas and ideals that is
causing the destruction of the Earth...."

Policy, [ Web version, November 2003] |
Supplementary
Material
and
more recently:
How
is the American media reporting and the public understanding the complexity
and subtlety of the issues?
How
much is "noise" and how much is "signal?"
Is it any wonder the public is confused? How much of the bewilderment
is manufactured confusion?
How
do you assess 
Andrew
Revkin's recent respresentation of the "The Global Warming Debate"
in the larger context of these "culture wars" in America?
How
do you assess Al Gore's appearence on Saturday Night Live in
the larger context of these "culture wars" in America? In your
estimation, has Al Gore advanced the public understanding of global climate
change in this kind of gesture or has he weakened it?
|
Consider,
for example, the problem of "fake news"....
|
What
do you think will be the American response to the new ad campaign by the
fossil fuel lobby and its sympathizers at the Competitive Enterprise
Institute?

"We
Call it Life-2" Competitive Enterpris Institute, Ad campaign
targeting media in 14 American cities, May 2006. |
Are the "climate wars" really just economic wars in environmental
disguise?
Do we "remember" what can (and already has) happened in nature?
What happened in 1938 in New England?
What
are the prospects for changing the perspective of political leadership
or changing the leadership altogether through the electoral process? Consider
the assessment of the national correspondant for the Washington Post.
And
then there are climate induced and/or exacerbated circumstances...
What happens if two natural disasters emerge at the same time?
