3 Quotes from "Break Through"

"In reducing their own manifold interests to single essential causes and complaints, liberal-issue groups have inhibited their ability to create the kinds of broad coalitions they need to achieve their goals."
This relates to the view on environmentalism because it shows how people are focused on reducing only one thing at a time in order to stop global warming and reduce their own carbon footprint. However, the issue of environmentalism is not the effect of one problem, it is the effect of many.

"Environmentalists have long misunderstood, downplayed, or ignored the conditions for their own existence. They have tended to view economic growth as the cause but not the solution to ecological crisis."
A good economy does allow for thriving environmentalism. With less focus on how to make ends meet, people can focus on refining their lives.

"The fourth truth about the crises we face is that global warming has arrived and will have increasingly serious consequences, even if we stop emitting all greenhouse gases tomorrow."
This shows how the more we continue to change the environment, the more we add to global warming. As it is, we're already going to be facing consequences of the emissions released up to today.
