Paul Kingsnorth: Portrait of a Recovering Environmentalist
Famous writer and poet Paul KingSnorth is also one of the most loud and firm environmental protectionists. He has inspired many people from all over the world to preserving and firmly believe that humans can play a key role in saving the world from the destruction of climate change. But this is yesterday. In the VPRO documentary Paul KingSnorth: In a portrait of an easy environmentalist, we met a person who no longer believes that we can save the world.
He now lives in the Irish online suburbs, where he continues to work hard and sustainable life. He and his family adopted a kind of praise, but he did not have fantasies that it would be different in the greater struggle with climate change.
He acknowledged that measures have taken the negative impact of the crisis, but he believes that the method of solving the problem worldwide has been misled.
First of all, wind turbine and solar panels must cover the entire earth to meet our world’s dependence on energy. For Ginosos, this concept is neither practical nor moral, because it requires a natural role to provide only our activities. By requiring the industry to solve our ability to protect our climatic protection, we are essentially a unit of nature as a financial profit. Climate change technology accurately uses the resources they should protect. They are invaders in the landscape. Their exaggerated noise interferes with natural order, and the turbine machine destroys a large number of bird life.
Kingsonus claims that in order to really crack down on climate change, we must change our way of thinking as modern species. We must regain the meaning of natural divineness and stand humblely. Without this, these technologies will be proven to be meaningless.
Throughout the movie, Kingsnorth waved a wave between cynicism, aspirations and resignation. Over the years, his methods of climate change have been greatly developed. His once fierce radical brand has made room for more reflection and philosophical remarks.
Kingsnorth: The portrait of an relaxed environmentalist may be proven to be frustrated and defeated by some people. Others found a greater truth in the movie, and they can infer their own meaning to attract hope.
