2020 Choice​ Outstanding Academic Title Carbon Criminals,
Climate Crimes analyzes the looming threats posed by climate change
from a criminological perspective. It advances the field of green
criminology through a examination of the criminal nature of
catastrophic environmental harms resulting from the release of
greenhouse gases. The book describes and explains what corporations
in the fossil fuel industry, the U.S. government, and the
international political community did, or failed to do, in relation
to global warming. Carbon Criminals, Climate Crimes integrates
research and theory from a wide variety of disciplines, to analyze
four specific state-corporate climate crimes: continued extraction
of fossil fuels and rising carbon emissions; political omission
(failure) related to the mitigation of these emissions; socially
organized climate change denial; and climate crimes of empire,
which include militaristic forms of adaptation to climate
disruption. The final chapter reviews policies that could mitigate
greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to a warming world, and achieve
climate justice.
