Can capitalism survive climate change? Can humanity? 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.
