The author assembles arguments and data to show how the warming Arctic is creating extreme weather events that are symptoms of a trend toward catastrophic climate destabilization. But that does not deter our capitalist masters from preaching about, and practicing, their addiction to capitalism and the relatively cheap fossil fuels that drive the system. Like the author writes:
...the multiple environmental crises we face are like a multi-headed hydra. Cut one head off with a techno-fix and it grows two more. Even those who are well-read and knowledgable on climate change still hold fast to a techno-utopian future, clueless as to what is and isn’t sustainable.... Remember… it’s the economy, stupid!
