Environmentalism and Climate Change

Environmentalism and Climate Change
Quote:"Explain the main differences between Free Market Environmentalism, Eco-Feminism and Christian approaches to the Environment.

Explain how these differences may influence the perception of Climate Change as an issue and how it should be addressed"

The above is an essay question posted by my daughter on FB. What I am seeking here is the forum's thoughts.

For me (in a discussion with Zen Badger) we have come up with....

The 3 forces will alienate people by demographics and will equal nothing more than serving the demographic agenda. Which will result in nothing being done for the proposed Climate Change. Pretty much equivalent to the Carbon Taxes currently world wide and will only serve the marketing $$$ return of any company or organisation that indulges in such activities and so justify their $$ returns at the expense of any real opportunities to instigate real change.

The 3 forces have not considered the fact that the climate and the Earth and astrophysics and geological forces couldn't give a tinker's cus about these so called forces of political endeavour.

Essentially I find that these so called forces will (like the Carbon Tax) eventuate in nothing being done; no new enterprises being established, no curbing of pollution (which this exorbitant tax is supposed to do), and certainly nothing more than religious grand standing which we are all rather weary of.

Your thoughts??
