0 can you please check my grammar in this short analysis? thank you very very much02br 02br 00In the article, "Only science can save us from climate catastrophe", political philosopher John Gray advocates the role of technology in environmental debate on how to tackle environmental problems. While the ecological footprint metric indicates, that "things are bad and getting worse" (Carter 2007, pp. 1), the author presents us with neo-liberal opinion that the best way how to solve the disruption of environment is science.02br 02br 00Gray's technocentric thoughts oppose conservative New Right philosophy of G.W. Bush and ecological theory proposed by environmentalists. In article, he focuses selectively on particular areas of these philosophies and pragmatically justifies negative stance towards them. 02br 02br 00He00 00doubts the rightness of Green's00 00ecocentric action00 00to environmental problems and their belief in sustainability arguing that these solutions are just temporary, leading to discomfort and they will not reduce "our impact on the Earth" (Gray, 2008). In similar vein, the author doesn't see any future in novelty of society and rejects opinion that "the world" can reconsider and change its values toward nature "There is not the remotest prospect that the world will renounce the use of fossil fuels"(Gray, 2008). 02br 02br 00This perspective is very close to G.W. Bush conservative politics. However, as Gray emphasises, Conservatives support organic gradual adaptation (Carter, 2007), prefer so called "appropriate technology" (bio fuels) and are sceptical about "radical technical experimentation" (Carter 2007, pp.67) - high technology.02br 02br 02br 02br 00Gray builds optimistic claim that nothing more than expanding existing system e.g. nuclear energy, GM food, etc., with assistance from technologies, is the only way forward (Gray, 2008). He incorporates an ideology of development and shows that human ingenuity and technology are able to fix the environmental problems.00 00According to Gray "any feasible remedy for the environmental crisis involves high-tech solutions" (Gray, 2008). 00Thus the author directly supports typical stance of neo-liberalism and call for "large capital investment and the proliferation of experts" (Radcliffe 2000, pp.6).02br 02br 00Grays environmental policies represents anthropocentric world view and priority is given to economic goals. In article, the only intrinsic value (Carter, 2007) is accorded to humans, while nature has just instrumental value. However, the suggestion that "a world of fewer people would be far better place to deal with climate change than the heavily overpopulated one " (Gray, 2008) indicates, that he attributes intrinsic value just limited number of humans and thus indirectly employs theory of winners and losers.02br 02br 00When building his arguments, he incorporates the fact about climate change and focuses on selective environmental problems such as global demand for energy and the overpopulation. The article follows logical flow; however author's arguments lack scientific evidence from other studies and direct quotation, what undermines their degree of certainty. Whole picture of environmental debate is quite simplified and article appears to be just statement against statement not very convincing for professionals. There is employed the notion of neo-liberal ideology referring to economic liberalism. In conclusion, his claims draw attention rather to sustained comfort raised from capitalism than "sustained capacity of realistic thinking" (Grey, 2008).0-
