Summary

Noam Chomsky, Laray Polk: Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe

"There are two problems for the survival of our species - nuclear war and environmental catastrophe," says Noam Chomsky in this new book about 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 defined in part by deliberate inaction in response to human-induced climate change. Denying the facts is only half the equation. Other contributing factors include extreme techniques for extracting remaining carbon deposits, clearing agricultural land for biofuels, building dams and destroying forests critical to 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 launched by a joint Egyptian-Iranian General Assembly resolution in 1974.

Conceived as warning, Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe is also a reminder that the unspeakable can still be spoken about with humor, wit and indomitable spirit.
