Around the world, leading economies are announcing significant success in the struggle against climate change. Heads of government proclaim their commitment to tackling the crisis, pointing to data that shows the progress they have made. Yet the atmosphere is still warming at a record rate. Are we being deceived?
In Carbon colonialism, Laurie Parsons exposes how rich countries cook the books on climate change - by outsourcing it to the global South. Conducting first-hand research in southern Asia, he reveals how exporting emissions and waste allows states and corporations to maintain a clean, green image. Meanwhile, landfills expand and droughts and floods intensify, with devastating effects on the world's most vulnerable communities. Technical fixes and creative accounting are a mirage. The real obstacles to effective action are deeply embedded in the political systems and structures of our society. Parsons calls on readers to wake up from the fairytales of greenwashing and ethical consumerism and end carbon colonialism now.Around the world, leading economies are announcing significant success in the struggle against climate change.
