"It's hard not to suspect that the means and ends have been reversed, that Klein knows the political outcome she favors and has simply latched onto the climate threat as a way to advance it."
Enclosed are two pages from my forthcoming book that address some of Klein's points. David From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Lockley Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 2:28 AM To: geoengineering Subject: [geo] Naomi Klein: Green groups may be more damaging than climate change deniers - Salon.com Poster's note : short extract below discussing geoengineering. Full interview is very good. It basically describes why I left the green movement - they're all out of ideas and they have no solutions left. I don't agree with her conclusions, however - especially on geoengineering. http://www.salon.com/2013/09/05/naomi_klein_big_green_groups_are_crippling_the_environmental_movement_partner/ You were talking about the Clean Development Mechanism as a sort of disaster capitalism. Isn't geoengineering the ultimate disaster capitalism? I certainly think it's the ultimate expression of a desire to avoid doing the hard work of reducing emissions, and I think that's the appeal of it. I think we will see this trajectory the more and more climate change becomes impossible to deny. A lot of people will skip right to geoengineering. The appeal of geoengineering is that it doesn't threaten our worldview. It leaves us in a dominant position. It says that there is an escape hatch. So all the stories that got us to this point, that flatter ourselves for our power, will just be scaled up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
