Chris Hedges on Climate Change. Chris Hedges, arguably one of the most erudite commentators on social justice against the corporatocracy weighs in on climate change and the only probable recourse left to civilization. "Civilizations in the final stages of decay are dominated by elites out of touch with reality. "… "This failure to impose limits cannibalizes natural resources and human communities. This time, the difference is that when we go the whole planet will go with us. Catastrophic climate change is inevitable. Arctic ice is in terminal decline. There will soon be so much heat trapped in the atmosphere that any attempt to scale back carbon emissions will make no difference. Droughts. Floods. Heat waves. Killer hurricanes and tornados. Power outages. Freak weather. Rising sea levels. Crop destruction. Food shortages. Plagues." Hedges illustrates his points with the historical example of the bloody imperial expansion over Native America and the only recourse left to Native Americans was resistance epitomized by the heroic story of Crazy Horse.
