Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe by Noam Chomksy (PDF)

Description

“There are two problems for our species’ survival—nuclear war and environmental catastrophe, ” says Noam Chomsky in this new book on the two existential threats of our time and their points of intersection since World War II.While a nuclear strike would require action, environmental catastrophe is partially defined by willful inaction in response to human-induced climate change. Denial of the facts is only half the equation. Other contributing factors include extreme techniques for the extraction of remaining carbon deposits, the elimination of agricultural land for bio-fuel, the construction of dams, and the destruction of forests that are crucial for carbon sequestration.On the subject of current nuclear tensions, Chomsky revisits the long-established option of a nuclear-weapon-free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East, a proposal set in motion through a joint Egyptian Iranian General Assembly resolution in 1974.Intended as a warning, Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe is also a reminder that talking about the unspeakable can still be done with humor, with wit and indomitable spirit.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Chomsky’s breadth of knowledge is astounding. In these interviews, he narrates fact after fact and relates them all meaningfully in a coherent framework. We need to think about where we are going, and Chomsky is the sounding bell of humanity, who reminds us of our follies, and stresses on the need for collective action to avert species-ending disasters.

⭐There are more than two converging catastrophes, unfortunately although climate change and nuclear war loom large. There is also peak oil which threatens the continuation of industrial civilization in myriad ways, ocean acidificaiton, overpopulation, resource exploitation (everything from fish to rare minerals), habitat destruction leading the way for mass extinctions and pollution. Pollution is making people sick, causing dead zones in lakes, rivers, wetlands and estuaries, and – to worst perhaps, the almost universally ignored death of trees around the planet from tropospheric ozone.
