“The Missing x”
“A man asks a waiter for a coffee without cream. The waiter apologises and informs the man that they don’t have any cream, only milk. Could he bring the man some coffee without milk?”This is a little joke Slavoj Zizek uses about negation, that coffee without cream is somehow different from coffee without milk. But it can point us at what is (absurdly) missing in all our thinking and reporting about climate change, a reliable, comparable index for emissions.
