Based on his repeated mention of climate change in the interview, I wouldn't conclude that he is disregarding the possibility of climate change reconfiguring human civilization, rather, I'd venture that it is perhaps so obvious, that he failed to mention it?
- frabbit 8y agoI'm not sure. Although it is an excellent interview it feels like some follow-up would be good on a couple of points, one of them being whether he believes that climate destruction is going to leave anything resembling a civilization behind. There is a slight suggestion that he believes that liberal pessimism is ignoring some wonderful new opportunities inherent in the complete destruction of a stable, predictable climate. Also he completely ignores that the Corbyn manifesto and recent speaking tours have emphasized that a reshaping of the UK economy to emphasize green jobs in a low-growth, post-Brexit world is exactly the sort of inspiring leadership which claims is lacking. I suspect he just does not want to look at what the left of the Labour Party is proposing.
