But I also am sceptical that either peak oil or global warming are
issues around which political agitation, mobilization, and organizing
are possible. We need to organize around other more promising issues and
incorporate the issue of global warming into a politics initiated on
other grounds. I'm not sure what those other grounds can be -- the
Endless War of current capitalism? the attack on social security (which
will emerge every four years, under either DP or RP administrations)?
long hours of work? ????

Carrol is probably right. I can't imagine a mass demonstration in
Washington favoring a more aggressive version of the Kyoto accords, for
example. However, it is up to revolutionaries to provide an analysis of
Hurricane Katrina that includes this dimension--as Mike Davis does.
