"The New Climate War" by Michael Mann is a timely and compelling book that offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing the climate movement today.
Mann, a leading climate scientist, argues that we are facing a new kind of climate war, one that is being waged by the fossil fuel industry and their allies in politics and media. He exposes the various tactics that are being used to undermine climate action, such as greenwashing, misinformation campaigns, and the promotion of false solutions like geo-engineering.
Seventy-one per cent of global emissions come from the same hundred companies, but fossil-fuel companies have taken no responsibility themselves. Instead, they have waged a thirty-year campaign to blame individuals for climate change. The result has been disastrous for our planet.
Mann's ability to explain complex scientific concepts in a clear and accessible way is one of its strengths. He provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the science behind climate change, and why urgent action is needed to address the crisis.
Mann's emphasis is on the need for collective action. He argues that individual actions, such as changing light bulbs or driving electric cars, are not enough to address the scale of the problem. Instead, we need systemic change, including policies and regulations that will transition us to a clean energy economy.
Mann's writing is engaging and passionate, making "The New Climate War" an enjoyable and informative read. He provides readers with a sense of urgency about the climate crisis, but also a sense of hope that it is not too late to take action.
"The New Climate War" is a must-read for anyone interested in climate change and the politics of the environment. It offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing the climate movement today and provides a roadmap for how we can all work together to create a more sustainable future.
