HEY here's a new piece for @crikey.com.au!

Sparked by David Suzuki's recent comments, but more broadly in response to the recent rise of performative fatalism: the reassuring, widely popular and lazy idea that fighting back against fossil fuels is worthless

Climate fatalism is just as wrong as climate denial — it's never 'too late' for change
Veteran environmentalist David Suzuki believes the time has passed us to stop climate change. He's wrong.
