Symons, Jonathan; Karlsson, Rasmus (2014): Green political theory in a climate-changed world: between innovation and restraint. In Environmental Politics 24 (2), pp. 173–192. DOI 10.1080/09644016.2015.1008252.

„The implications for Green political theory of the international community’s failure to avert dangerous warming are evaluated. An emerging conflict is identified between the Green-romantic value of restraint and the Green-rationalist value of protection, between a desire to preserve biotic systems and a distrust of scientific solutions to problems that are intrinsically social.“
