A clear and urgent call for the national, social, and individual
changes required to prevent catastrophic climate change. "An
iconoclast of the best kind, Stan Cox has an all-too-rare
commitment to following arguments wherever they lead, however
politically dangerous that turns out to be."-Naomi Klein, author of
On Fire: The (Burning) Case for the New Green Deal "Moving to zero
net carbon emissions, and fast, is the point of Stan Cox's
important new study, The Green New Deal and Beyond. Cox advocates
on behalf of the GND as one step of several we need to take to
stabilize the planet."-Noam Chomsky, from the book's foreword The
prospect of a Green New Deal is providing millions of people with a
sense of hope, but scientists warn there is little time left to
take the actions needed. We are at a critical point, and while the
Green New Deal will be a step in the right direction, we need to do
more-right now-to avoid catastrophe. In The Green New Deal and
Beyond, author and plant scientist Stan Cox explains why we must
abolish the use of fossil fuels as soon as possible, and how it can
be done. He addresses a host of glaring issues not mentioned in the
GND and guides us through visionary, achievable ideas for working
toward a solution to the deepening crisis. It's up to each of us,
Cox writes, to play key roles in catalyzing the necessary
transformation. "A strictly science-based plan for effectively
addressing the dire realities of climate change. . . . Convincing,
painful, and a long shot-but better than the alternative."-Kirkus
Reviews "His is a warning well worth heeding."-Raj Patel, co-author
of A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things: A Guide to
Capitalism, Nature, and the Future of the Planet "In The Green New
Deal and Beyond, Stan Cox presents a smart, sane, and plausibly
optimistic alternative to abandoning all hope."-David Owen, author
of Volume Control: Hearing in a Deafening World "The teachings of
Indigenous Peoples are still here, and it's up to the present
generation to muster the courage and resources to follow those
instructions. Stan Cox reminds us of this historic dialogue and
development of the Green New Deal, and helps us find the path back
to those instructions."-Winona LaDuke (Anishinaabe), author of All
Our Relations: Native Struggles for Land and Life and LaDuke
Chronicles "Stan Cox suggests remedies that should ignite lively
discussion and intense debate, which is sorely needed. A must-read
for those who care about our shared planetary future."-Mary Evelyn
Tucker, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies,
co-author, Journey of the Universe "An invaluable contribution to
what must become an unprecedented international revolution."-Will
Potter, author of Green Is the New Red: An Insider's Account of a
Social Movement Under Siege "Cox argues that this is not idealism,
but necessity. By 2030 or 2040, if our aims and policies turn out
to have been insufficient, as he points out, it will have been too
late."-Natalie Suzelis, Uneven Earth "In this important and
readable book, Stan Cox moves the Overton window away from false
hope and toward a more realistic path for avoiding climate
catastrophe."-Dr. Peter Kalmus, NASA climate scientist and author
of Being the Change
