bird_smuggler 's review for:
The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming
by David Wallace-Wells
Good book but here's some criticisms:
Criticism 1: China, by all means considered the lynchpin of the developing world, has made enormous progress on climate change which refutes the notion that it’s not a problem of capitalism.
Criticism 1.1: What we call the socialist world was wiped out before climate change became the preeminent threat that we now see it as, it’s absurd to judge the socialist world of the 1920s to 1980s on the same standards by which we judge the capitalist world today, one of the two had widespread awareness of the problem.
Criticism 1.2: America should take a great portion of the blame regardless of current emissions because the neoliberal capitalist order, pervasive among modern nations, has been the predominant world order since at least the 1990s.
Criticism 2: The Republican Party doesn’t have to directly control emissions outcomes to set bad examples, undo good ones, plus they are the first engineers of the laissez-faire policy fucking us up since Reagan.
Criticism 3: America and the other industrialized nations were contributing the climate change much longer than the developed world, of course the developed world isn’t doing any better on combatting climate change considering how many resources it lacks.
Criticism 4: References to Atlantis always set off alarm bells, Atlantis is purely mythological and that kind of pseudo-history shouldn’t be in any serious book.
