"climate change is violence"

I'm hoping *we* all know that A Massive Climate Summit Is About to Happen in Paris--and also that a decision has been made to ban protests, marches, and other 'outdoor activities,' because of heightened security concerns. Naomi Klein (whose book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate is one we considered for this course, deciding instead to go for The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future...) has written about What’s really at stake at the Paris climate conference now marches are banned: what most preoccupies her is "the way it reflects the fundamental inequity of the climate crisis itself – and that core question of whose security is ultimately valued in our lopsided world .... The people facing the worst impacts of climate change have virtually no voice in western debates about whether to do anything serious to prevent catastrophic global warming .... once again, a wealthy western country is putting security for elites ahead of the interests of those fighting for survival. Once again, the message is: our security is non-negotiable, yours is up for grabs."
