Lola Seaton draws out the strategic implications of these contested perspectives, in a set of unavoidable “green questions.” In the realm of contemporary politics, Alyssa Battistoni writes on the dead-end of COP diplomacy, Cédric Durand asks whether energy shortages will derail the transition away from fossil fuels, and Thomas Meaney compares Green New Deal proposals to the pinched reality of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe world’s major powers accept the likelihood of dangerous climate change, yet seem incapable of averting it. Can radical green models generate the social leverage needed to do so?
