Thesis: IPCC report,‘now or never’ if world is to stave off climate disaster carbonbrief.org

Synthesis: Andreas Malm’s Anti-War, Anti-Carbon @MaxJerneck

Andreas Malm's 'How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2021)' is cursed with such an incendiary title that people think they get the argument without reading the book.

4/ If one takes away the rhetoric & theory from Malm's book, his 'What Must Be Done' is pretty much what most people reply when you ask them how to fix the climate problem. Its radicalism of scientists in IPCC reports stripped of technocratic discourse.

"If destroying fences was...violence, it was violence of the sweetest kind. I was high for weeks...All the despair that climate breakdown generates on a daily basis was out of my system, if only temporarily:I had had an injection of collective empowerment"
