b'Join leading ecosocialist authors and activists Andreas Malm and Thea Riofrancos for a discussion of how to stop the climate crisis. \\n----------------------------------------------------\\n\\nFrom annual \\u2018once a centuries\\u2019 fires, to \\u2018storms to end all storms\\u2019 making landfall every hurricane season, the signs that capitalist climate change represents a civilizational threat have never been more ominously evident. It has become impossible to ignore the dire need to move beyond green tinkering to an overhaul of the entire system, lest we be left with a charred and blasted husk where once there was a planet. As the global fever rages, we are faced with the choice of "Ecosocialism or Barbecue."\\n\\nIn his new book, Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency, leading environmental thinker, Andreas Malm points to the state mobilizations across the globe to combat the coronavirus as an example of the scale of intervention that will be required to execute the just-transition we need.\\n\\nIf it is possible to conjure trillions of dollars to combat an invisible, epidemiological threat, why is the climate emergency not greeted with similar sized programs?\\n\\nMalm will be joined for this virtual teach-in by fellow activist and author Thea Riofrancos\\u2014whose new book Resource Radicals looks at lessons for our movement from the experience in Ecuador\\u2014 for a conversation that will touch on this question and many more. ----------------------------------------------------\\n\\nSpeakers:\\n\\nAndreas Malm is a scholar of human ecology, and the author of Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency, The Progress of this Storm and Fossil Capital, which won the Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize.\\n\\nThea Riofrancos is an assistant professor of political science at Providence College, an Andrew Carnegie Fellow (2020-2022), and a Radcliffe Institute Fellow (2020-2021).
