Climate change - it's total impact on food prices, human costs from natural disasters, and in the context of a global economic slump- is, arguably, the instigator of a fearful zeitgeist, globally,
that I think is being misdirected into all kinds of conservatism. We must direct our fear, instead, into action to offset and slow climate change and defend against
climate disaster.
It is an interesting point in history. Just as the
threat of nuclear war caused an uneasy truce to the arms race, I think climate disaster will
ultimately result in a similar detente. What we are seeing now is the
spinning wheels of fear.
Sexism is just one of the showers of sparks
from those wheels.
Change is the only constant. This is not new. Some are already adapting to change.
