Chiffres à l’appui, les auteurs renversent cette grave erreur de diagnostic et démontrent avec rigueur et limpidité que les moyens prônés par les populationnistes – à savoir un meilleur contrôle des naissances (principalement dans les pays du Sud) et une réduction substantielle de l’immigration (dans les pays du Nord) – sont de fausses pistes pour protéger l'environnement. Rejeter la responsabilité des changements climatiques et des dégâts environnementaux sur les plus démunis de la planète participe tout simplement d’une écologisation de la haine.

Summary:
Les changements climatiques menacent la survie culturelle de nos peuples. Suivant le parcours personnel et militant de l’auteure, « Le droit au froid » analyse les liens entre la sauvegarde de l’Arctique, la survie de la culture inuit – et ultimement du monde – et la dégradation environnementale passée, présente et future. Sheila Watt-Cloutier soutient avec passion que les changements climatiques sont non seulement un enjeu de justice climatique, mais aussi de droits humains qui touche l’ensemble du globe. Car la culture et l’autonomie économique des Inuit, tout comme la faune de l’Arctique, sont tributaires du froid, de la glace et du pergélisol. Les graves perturbations de la température et des événements météorologiques causent la dégradation d’un mode de vie et signifient la négation de leurs droits sociaux, culturels et sanitaires. D’où ce « droit au froid », qui est au cœur de son plaidoyer.

Cuteness has taken the planet by storm. Global sensations Hello Kitty and Pokémon, the works of artists Takashi Murakami and Jeff Koons, Heidi the cross-eyed opossum and E.T.—all reflect its gathering power. But what does ''cute'' mean, as a sensibility and style? Why is it so pervasive? Is it all infantile fluff, or is there something more uncanny and even menacing going(...)
