The Global Fight for Climate Justice - Anticapitalist Responses to Global Warming and Environmental Destruction Derek Wall, Ian Angus, Daniel Tanuro

As capitalism continues with business as usual, climate change is fast expanding the gap between rich and poor between and within nations, and imposing unparalleled suffering on those least able to protect themselves.
