The heat is on! You’ll have noticed that the climate crisis is getting worse with every passing month, and despite increasing attention from the media, our political ‘leaders’ continue to drag their feet.
I wrote a book about this— how best to think about the climate crisis and what to do about it — but the publisher basically buried it. So I decided to try to get the ideas out by launching a Youtube channel, ‘Dancing Philosophy’. (screen shot above). The relevant playlist is ‘The Climate Crisis’, but there are also some other videos that you may find entertaining.
Here is the description for the video CLIMATE ACTION Part 1: The Earth System is moving toward a new state that will be extremely inhospitable for human existence — and the major motive force is our burning of fossil fuels. The situation is dire, but governments and leaders are unwilling or unable to change direction. How can we fix this insane situation? We consider first the nature and causes of our climate predicament, and then three immediate obstructions to resolving it, and how we can get around these.
And if you think it worthwhile, please forward the links to anyone who might be interested. In the meantime let’s Take the Power Back!
