+## Chapter 2
+
+Thesis: anti-apocalyptic criticism of R mis-diagnoses the problem.
+
+6. The effect on R's audience now is a spiralling cycle of despair
+7. This has led some critics to blame apocalypticism for the failure of R
+8. This is a traditional criticism of apocalypticism 'from above'
+9. Apocalypse 'from below' has often worked very differently
+10. This difference is due to the different interests of the readers -- a
+    difference which does not apply in the case of green crises
+11. In fact, apocalypse can meet the critic's concerns in principle
+12. (In order to do so in practice, those with power need to attack the
+    structures which drive the downward spiral)
