ABSTRACT
The global climate protection movement has initiated many of the elements necessary to overcome the obstacles to climate safety. The climate protection movement has begun to take on the fossil fuel industry. The climate protection movement has tended to answer concerns about negative economic effects of climate protection with the general argument that 'clean energy' produces more jobs than fossil fuels. Neoliberalism has many destructive consequences besides destruction of the climate: It has aggravated the world's growing inequality, deepening economic stagnation, environmental degradation, and democracy deficit. The key to challenging the system of absolute nation-state sovereignty is the emergence of a global climate protection movement independent of any nation or combination of nations. There are several grounds for encouraging people to move beyond climate denialism: That climate change denial is a deliberate strategy of manipulation by the fossil fuel companies and their allies to prevent us from protecting ourselves against their depredations.
