What next on climate? The need for a new moderate flank
- gardenfelder 4y ago> Clive Hamilton once wrote that we live in a phase of history where power is diverging from knowledge, and sadly, on climate at least, that still seems true. The situation is really quite grim, and we cannot change the facts. But we can change our idea of power and our relationship to it. That’s partly why action leads to hope, rather than vice-versa, because our sense of power is dynamic and we gain vitality and perspective by doing what we can, which is usually more than we think. The moderate flank is yet to be properly born, but it is a latent power that needs to become manifest. This essay is an important contribution to clarifying what that means for all of us now.
