This approach makes the viewer uncomfortable with unforgettable images of major droughts, mass starvation, and global imbalance. He does this deliberately, so that people will feel so uncomfortable that they will want to enforce change. Burke's use of images plays nicely into the teachings of global environmental problems, politics, and governance. The global problems set the stage for the masses to react.
Governance is the change brought about by the populations reactions.
The essential ingredient, in order for change to occur, is the fact that there must be a change in the fundamental thinking of politics. Burke lays the groundwork by providing environmental and social problems. These problems of the 1990s are the leading causes of increased greenhouse gases and global warming. This is a fundamental statement on global environmental politics because out of a global governance comes a change in politics. For a global governance to be established and work properly, nation states would need to give up their sovereign rights and political power for the good of the globe.
