Trump & the climate

Nov 6, 2024 | linkedin.com | Clive Hamilton

What seemed morally impossible has happened. So what does a second Trump Administration mean for global heating? Obviously, it will mean U.S. carbon emissions will be higher in 2030 and beyond than they otherwise would have been, and the world will become hotter as a result. Trump has said climate change is a ‘scam’, a ‘hoax’, ‘created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive’.
Should Peter Singer Be De-Platformed?

Aug 14, 2024 | clivehamilton.com | Clive Hamilton

At the Byron Writers Festival last week, I overheard a conversation between two writers in the shuttle bus. “I’m going to the Peter Singer session ,” said one. The other, an Indigenous woman, replied, with some bitterness: “I’ve no interest in listening to him, he’s a eugenicist.” I turned to hear more, and she went on to say she didn’t know why writers festivals keep inviting him.

Privilege’s alchemy • Dean Ashenden

Jun 13, 2024 | insidestory.org.au | Clive Hamilton |Myra Hamilton |Dean Ashenden

Elite wannabes could do worse than study up on Clive Hamilton and Myra Hamilton’s The Privileged Few, a documentation of the “machinery of privilege” as complete, orderly and detailed as a user manual: the four types of capital, the three elements of privilege, the five techniques of philanthropy, three ways to launder a reputation, eight ways to hide or justify privilege.

Elite privilege isn't a product of wealth

Jun 12, 2024 | unherd.com | Clive Hamilton |Myra Hamilton

ClassClass conflictelitesLanguageRishi SunakSocietyUK Almost a year ago, in July 2023, Rishi Sunak’s government named and shamed Britain’s most unruly towns. The media, unsurprisingly, lapped it up: places subjected to higher levels of social disadvantage were described as “bad towns” filled with “streets of shame”. All who lived there were tainted.
An extract of Living Hot by Clive Hamilton and George Wilkenfeld

Jun 3, 2024 | crikey.com.au | Clive Hamilton

There has always been a sense of unreality about our climate change predicament, especially through the long years of denial, disputation and delay. More recently, Australia seems to have jumped from the delusions of denial to faith in increasingly implausible”solutions”, bypassing sober assessment of the seriousness of the reality we confront. It should be obvious by now that dangerous warming of the Earth is inevitable and irreversible, at least over a timescale of centuries.
"It seriously disgusts me" Conservatives defend private schools

May 29, 2024 | linkedin.com | Clive Hamilton

Anyone who criticizes elite private schools can expect to be denounced as merely envious, or so I learned when an extract from my book The Privileged Few (co-authored with Myra Hamilton) was published earlier this month in the Weekend Australian. “Sour grapes and a chip on their shoulder?” as one reader wrote. (For those with a subscription the article is here, https://tinyurl.com/yc6scm7a) Yes, I know, what did I expect from readers of the Australian? Still, it’s a curious allegation.
