On the Emergence of an Ecological Class A Memo

"Elusive and magnificent by turns.... There's nothing anyone can tell us about the politics of climate change that we don't already think we know, and this is a problem. All the more reason, as Schultz and Latour see it, to build a new class movement - quite possibly the last of its kind."
