Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Why social, racial, and economic justice is just as crucial as science in determining how humans can reverse climate catastrophe.Why social, racial, and economic justice are just as crucial as science in determining how humans can reverse climate catastropheWe are facing a climate catastrophe. A plethora of studies describe the damage we've already done, the droughts, the wildfires, the super-storms, the melting glaciers, the heat waves, and the displaced people fleeing lands that are becoming uninhabitable. Many people understand that we are facing a climate emergency, but may be fuzzy on technical, policy, and social justice aspects. In Is Science Enough?, Aviva Chomsky breaks down the concepts, terminology, and debates for activists, students, and anyone concerned about climate change. She argues that science is not enough to change course: we need put social, racial, and economic justice front and center and overhaul the global growth economy.Chomsky's accessible primer focuses on 5 key issues:1.) Technical questions: What exactly are "clean," "renewable," and "zero-emission" energy sources? How much do different sectors (power generation, transportation, agriculture, industry, etc.) contribute to climate change? Can forests serve as a carbon sink?2.) Policy questions: What is the Green New Deal? How does a cap-and-trade system work? How does the United States subsidize the fossil fuel industry?3.) What can I do as an individual?: Do we need to consume less? What kinds of individual actions can make the most difference? Should we all be vegetarians?4.) Social, racial, and economic justice: What's the relationship of inequality to climate change? What do race and racism have to do with climate change? How are pandemics related to climate change?5.) Broadening the lens: What is economic growth? How important is it, and how does it affect the environment? What is degrowth? "This book shows that science is not enough to reverse climate catastrophe: we need put social, racial, and economic justice front and center, radically redistribute, and abandon the global growth economy"-- Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
