Arne Johan Vetlesen: Radical Environmentalism
As climate change, habitat loss, and extinction of species go from bad to worse, it seems that politics, ethics, and business-usual combine to reinforce the multiple crises rather than slow, let alone stop them. This being so, is it necessary, or even imperative, to seek alternatives? If so, how radical should they be? Do groups like Extinction Rebellion point in the right direction? And what are the pitfalls?
