Description
While the world's people suffer the apocalyptic torments of floods,
fires, droughts, heatwaves, desertification, disease vectors, food
shortages, forced migration, ecosystem collapse, extinction, and other
effects of uncontrolled climate change, the world's governmental and
political leaders continue to accelerate our wild ride to climate
doom. Is there any way for the rest of us to put on the brakes? Climate
insurgency is a strategy for using people power to realize our common
interest in protecting the climate. It uses mass, global, nonviolent
action to challenge the legitimacy of public and corporate officials who
are perpetrating climate destruction. A global climate
insurgency has already begun. It has the potential to halt and roll back
the fossil fuel agenda and the global thrust toward climate
destruction. Against Doom: A Climate Insurgency Manual tells
how to put that strategy into action--and how it can succeed. It is a
handbook for halting global warming and restoring our climate--a how-to
for climate insurgents.
