Summary
An engaging conversation with our most respected public intellectual around how a global Green New Deal has the potential to save humanity and the planet
The environmental crisis under way is unique in human history. It is a true existential crisis. Those alive today will decide the fate of humanity. Meanwhile, the leaders of the most powerful state in human history are dedicating themselves with passion to destroying the prospects for organized human life. At the same time, there is a solution at hand, which is the Green New Deal.
Putting meat on the bones of the Green New Deal starts with a single simple idea: We have to absolutely stop burning fossil fuels to produce energy within the next 30 years at most; and we have to do this in a way that also supports rising living standards and expanding opportunities for working people and the poor throughout the world. This version of a Green New Deal program is, in fact, entirely realistic in terms of its purely economic and technical features. The real question is whether it is politically feasible.
Chomsky and Pollin examine how we can build the political force to make a global Green New Deal a reality.

Very well document book
I am sorry I got it as an audio book, I can't access the sources of the information and figures mentioned.
Very well based and documented.
Some strategies are suggested based on the studies mentioned.
Pity the voice is maybe not giving the emphasis needed to make it more attractive.

A must-read for surviving the Climate Crisis!
A gift from Noam Chomsky who appears to be handing over the baton to the astute economist Robert Polin in explaining what we all need to know about the way the world is not working. A brilliant, concise and clear explanation of our current problems, why they will literally be the end of us if we don't change course, and how to steer in the right direction. Listen to this. Read it. Please.

Real food for thought
I found this very thought provoking and it answered some questions I'd had in the past very eloquently.

Fearmongering at its best
Don’t bother listening to this unless. It’s totally over the top depressing 🙄. Go for a lovely walk in the countryside instead and then cook yourself some delicious food 🤗
