" ..there is a general consensus that anthropogenic climate change "at least ranks alongside other recognized threats to global biodiversity," and is in all likelihood the "greatest threat in many if not most regions."

It is sad to see the author philosophising. If only he would wake up to the fact that anthropogenic climate change is a political construction that evolved from the political construction of anthropogenic global warming, for which there is no empirical scientific substantiation.

Good essay and he is quite correct re the human causation of both global climate change and all-the-way-down-the-line environmental destruction too.
These two references confirm the author's thesis about the anti-ecological nature of the death-haunted Western mind.

This essay describes the necessary responsibility of human kind re both human culture and of the non-human inhabitants of this mostly non-human world.

We are not only alienated from and a destructive influence in the natural world but also from our bodies too which we are also destroying.
Our bodies are of course completely entangled in and completely dependent upon the complex patterns of the natural world, and the Cosmos too.
