A Question for Latour

Sasha M. Foster's picture

1. We have passed the point of no return; whereas we could have strived for a more mutal relationship with the earth in previous ages, now we have to focus on mitigating the damage we've caused.

2. The concept of subjectivity is inherintly flawed, as we're all (humans, ecosystems, the Earth) interconnected past the point where any one thing can be a subject separate from the rest. 

3. We all have to find a way to come together to stop climate change, although economics is as large a block in progress for climate scientists as the Catholic Church was for Galileo.

Question: If all this is true, then how would the author propose we chould come together? Is it even possible? If not, what do we do?
