The Message
Ta-Nehisi Coates
In a perfect moral storm, we should expect “shadow solutions” to the problem at hand that reflect only the limited concerns of those with the power to act. Such “solutions” are morally problematic. Not only are they typically inadequate as a matter of substance, but they also create the dangerous illusion of real action, and this serves as a distraction through which continued buck-passing can be perpetrated. Unfortunately, this account is highly plausible in the climate case.
