Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal: The Political Economy of Saving the Planet by Noam Chomsky, Robert Pollin

4.0

This book stands as a guide to approaching the global challenge of climate change in a modern fashion. It stands in defiance of the neoliberal approaches to climate stabilization and offers a global green new deal that offers a transition for the international community to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. This plan, uniquely, approaches the topic with full acceptance of the scale of the issue. In offering a realistic account of climate based inequality, Chomsky and Pollin offer a global green new deal that adjusts policies for those communities most disparaged by the global capitalist markets that have accelerated this crisis. Fundamentally, this book offers brief reminder of the existential threat we face in confronting climate change and structures the only reasonable, ethical, and potential answers to the problems that, if left unresolved, will plague our species for generations to come.
