“we have a global political economy of deep structural inequality that permits

Is #climate action too attached to the modern idea of 'control'?

In this series of 4 blog posts, Andy Stirling (@SPRU) makes the case for a more 'caring' approach to climate disruption & the democratic struggle towards human flourishing.

2. Does the illusion of 'climate control' do more harm than good? What are the pitfalls of an obsession with numbers, deadlines, solutions and predictions to save the climate?
