NOVEMBER 2024
The 2024
United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) has
concluded in Baku, Azerbaijan. Global leaders, ministers, and representatives
from over 30 countries have come together to build on the momentum of last
year’s historic Global Cooling Pledge. With climate change fueling extreme heat
waves, the demand for sustainable cooling solutions has reached a
critical point.
The
United Nations Environment Programme's article delves into the significant
progress made at COP29, highlighting key takeaways from the Ministerial
Roundtable and the global coalition's united efforts to confront one of the
most pressing challenges of the climate crisis: sustainable
cooling.

BOOKS FROM “Ecosocialist Bookshelf, September 2024.”
Jordan B. Kinder. PETROTURFING: Refining Canadian Oil through Social Media. University of Minnesota P.
Since the early 2010s, an increasingly influential network of pro-oil groups,
organizations, and campaigns has harnessed social media to undermine
resistance to the fossil fuel industry. Kinder exposes the deep divide
between Canada’s environmentally progressive reputation and the actual actions
of its governments and corporate polluters.
M.V. Ramana. NUCLEAR IS NOT THE SOLUTION: The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of
Climate Change. Verso
The climate crisis has propelled nuclear energy back into fashion. Its
proponents argue that the technology only needs perfection and deployment.
Ramana replies that such thinking is both naïve but dangerous. In addition to
exposing nuclear power’s high costs and technical limitations, he unmasks the
powerful groups that are greenwashing a spectacularly dirty industry.
Corey Ross. LIQUID EMPIRE: Water and Power in the Colonial World. Princeton UP.
Ross tells the story of how the waters of the colonial world shaped the history
of imperialism, and how the imperial past still haunts us today. An important
historical perspective on the crises engulfing the world’s waters, particularly
in the Global South, where billions of people face water shortages, floods, and
the depletion of sea life.
