Summary
Today's record-breaking heat waves, droughts, and floods foreshadow an increasingly unstable environmental future. Tom Athanasiou and Paul Baer argue that only a social-justice approach can shape the necessary compromise between the north and the south, and cut a path to sustainability on a planet riven with explosive national, ideological, and class divides.
Author Biography
TOM ATHANASIOU is a longtime green activist and technology critic, and the author of dozens of essays on environmental and techno-scientific politics. In 1996, his first book was published—in the United States as Divided Planet: The Ecology of Rich and Poor, and in England as Slow Reckoning: The Ecology of a Divided Planet. His interests focus on class division and distributive justice within finite environmental spaces.
PAUL BAER is a Ph.D. candidate in the Energy and Resources Group at the University of Calfornia, Berkeley. His research in the area of ecological economics focuses on both ecological and economic modeling and on the equity implications of various climate policy alternatives.
