Shortlist FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year
A renowned climate scientist reveals how fossil fuel companies have shifted responsibilities and delayed action against climate change for thirty years. He offers a clear plan to save our planet.
Recycle less. Fly less. Eat less meat. These are often cited solutions, but the emphasis on individual behavior is the result of clever marketing that places responsibility on citizens.
Fossil fuel companies imitate other industries that shift blame or greenwash. At the same time, they block regulations, fight alternatives, and avoid their role in the climate problem. This has disastrous consequences for our earth.
The New Climate War shows that the battle is not yet lost. Mann distinguishes the parties: fossil companies, right-wing plutocrats, and petro-states versus citizens. He presents a plan including, among others:
- A feasible approach to carbon pricing and a revision of the current Green New Deal
- Fair competition for renewable energy
- Refutation of misconceptions that divide the climate debate
- Countering climate anxiety and hopelessness
With powerful interests defending the fossil system, active citizen involvement is essential. This book helps inform and activate them to fight together for our planet.
