I can’t vouch for the man at all and I’m happy to be told he sucks shit but in this talk by a guy called Gwynne Dyer he puts forth that the usual reporting bases heavily off the climate summit which is run as much by governments as it is by scientists and so they always arrive at the lowest common denominator, that is to say, the least worst scenario where everything can be fixed and we only have to start 10 years in the future.
Gwynne dyer is probably not a comrade but he’s cool and good. His book “War” started me on my road to anti-war politics and, ultimately, communism. If you can get it (pirate or otherwise) it’s an easy recommendation. You can also watch the documentary series with the same name on YouTube. Ep. 2 can be a revelation if you grew up in a culture that glorifies war and military exploits.
