example · personal/autobiographical ·
retold in 3 talks
Rich regions in North America experienced extreme heat despite following ecological rules; the cause was global air circulation, proving local solutions fail without global coordination.

As told 3
“The problem is that the global, the disturbance in the global circulation of air around the northern hemisphere produced that effect.”
“die Temperaturen stiegen fast bis Grad Celsius dieser Bereich war an dem Punkt heißer als der Mittlere Osten ... die gesamte Luftzirkulation in der nördlichen Hemisphäre”
“northwest of United States southwest of Canada Seattle Vancouver... that area in the summer two and a half years ago when was warmer than India and Emirates”

A summer and a half before the talk, the narrow patch of the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Vancouver) hit temperatures hotter than the Middle East; it was not a local anomaly, the entire northern-hemisphere air circulation exploded. The only way out, he argues, is much stronger global coordination., illustrating Kriegskommunismus,ecological catastrophe as already-happened

Žižek cites a recent heatwave in the Pacific Northwest (warmer than India/Emirates) to illustrate that ecological crises are global circulation issues, not local failures, and that local green measures are insufficient against planetary disruption., illustrating ecology-climate,global circulation
