"What is 'really inconvenient' is the truth that global warming is directly related to the uncontrolled growth of the dominant world capitalist system--a system in which Al Gore has played a leading role, for which reason he (and the whole movement he represents) avoids the heart of the matter and distracts us with moral uplift and technological fixes. Joel Kovel insists, rather, that we need to address--and transform--the basic social dynamics that lead to the regime of cancerous production and mindless consumption. Only by facing up to what is 'really inconvenient' can we win through to a livable future"--Container.
