Description: An engaging conversation with Noam Chomsky revered public intellectual and Manufacturing Consent author about climate change capitalism and how a global Green New Deal can save the planet. Climate change: watershed or endgame? An engaging conversation public intellectual and Manufacturing Consent author Noam Chomsky about the climate change capitalism and how a global Green New Deal can save the planet. In this compelling new book Noam Chomsky the world's leading public intellectual and Robert Pollin a renowned progressive economist map out the catastrophic consequences of unchecked climate change and present a realistic blueprint for change: the Green New Deal. Together Chomsky and Pollin show how the forecasts for a hotter planet strain the imagination: vast stretches of the Earth will become uninhabitable plagued by extreme weather drought rising seas and crop failure. Arguing against the misplaced fear of economic disaster and unemployment arising from the transition to a green economy they show how this bogus concern encourages climate denialism. Humanity must stop burning fossil fuels within the next thirty years and do so in a way that improves living standards and opportunities for working people. This is the goal of the Green New Deal and as the authors make clear it is entirely feasible. Climate change is an emergency that cannot be ignored. This book shows how it can be overcome both politically and economically.
