And yet the consumption of fossil fuels is still increasing rapidly and even continues to be subsidized. The impact on humans, non-human life forms and natural cycles has reached a global dimension. The Global South and poorer sections of the population around the world are particularly affected. Their development prospects are increasingly at risk and there is a threat of impoverishment and climate-induced migration. Climate change has thus become a major factor in social injustice. Industrialized countries are slow to respond to the challenges of climate change and the need for transformation, which can also be attributed to the massive influence of the international fossil fuel industry. Their lobbying has a distorting effect on democratic decision-making processes and freedom of negotiation in international forums. The great hope is that global climate activism will be able to exert a counter-influence and act not only in the name of climate justice, but also for democracy.        <\/p>\n<p><u>Darrel Moellendorf<\/u> is an American environmental and political philosopher.
