Needed: a global climate insurgency

The climate movement has from the outset been global — like the global warming it contests. The student-initiated 2019 Global Climate Strike, for example, brought together 7.6 million participants in 6,000 events in 185 countries. To overcome these limitations, the climate movement needs to become a global, nonviolent constitutional insurgency. To effectively protect the earth’s climate and the future of our species, the climate protection movement may well have to become such an insurgency. One way to overcome the thrust to mutual destruction could be to transform the global climate movement into a global climate insurgency.
