Main Points:
1. Humans cannot grasp the vast problem of climate change, and no certain group of humans can bear the responsibility.
2. Autonomy is not possible, everyone and everything is connected. Even scientific reports that seem objective are connected to the larger environmental problems in the world.
3. Humans think of action as being in the past, and creating current situations but what is happening now is animated and subjective, and needs to be thought of that way.
Question: Is it possible to stop placing nature and the physical Earth environment in the past and think of it as currently active? Or are humans doomed to be stuck to their definitions and contexts from the past?
