Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime by Bruno Latour
Despite having some good points, the tone of this short books makes it nearly unreadable. The author proposes that elites realize the earth is on a bad and want to suck out all the resources before they die. That view is "globalization-" in his parlance. He complains that ecological parties need to focus on the earth, while many are two left-aligned. However, his proposals seem to come up fairly left. There is also encouragement of local, which could backfire. Purely local solutions could be even worse. If a locations feels it would benefit from climate change, then it would be smart to encourage it.
