Summary

Brian Elliott persuasively argues that climate change is not a natural phenomenon but a political phenomenon: a symptom of neoliberal governance. This explains why environmental concern has increasingly been framed as a consumer responsibility issue rather than as a matter of structural social-political transformation.
