Discussion #10 - The Challenge of Global Warming 11 In this week's reading, Naomi Klein argues: "The " abundance of scientific research showing we have pushed nature beyond its limits does not just demand green products and market-based solutions; it demands a new civilizational paradigm, one grounded not in dominance over nature but in respect for natural cycles of renewal-and acutely sensitive to natural limits, including the limits of human intelligence." Do you agree with Klein that we need a "new civilizational paradigm" (a radical change in how our society is organized) to solve the ecological crisis? If so, suggest some of the major changes needed. If not, explain why (E.g., do you think the problem is exaggerated? Do you think ecological modernization is enough?).
