    the climate crisis is a symptom of global inequality and injustice

    Important to note that the most stark inequality, the most blatant injustice, is the normalised mass enslavement and killing of other beings.

    racism, colonialism and sexism all underpin global heating

    The racism of treating another being as property because they look different and cannot speak the same language; the colonialism of invading and destroying the homeland of countless others in order to install pasture grass and barbed wire; the sexism of turning the female body into a machine for commodity production; these are all major contributors to the current climate crisis, and the author’s point could be greatly strengthened by addressing them.
