Klappentext
In the United States, the climate movement has, so far, failed in the all-important task of shutting down fossil fuels. David McDermott Hughes offers a plan for a more daring form of climate politics, recommending that the climate movement adopt a strategy of mass blockades and sabotage against functioning fossil fuel infrastructure. Ideally, the saboteurs would not get caught---but if they did, in their trials they could appeal to the little-known power of jury nullification to avoid prison and to make pipelines unprotectable.
Climate change is no longer a technical problem that can simply be fixed. It is now a political predicament that must be faced. Elected politicians---even those who support renewable energy---remain committed to the extraction of petroleum and methane. No one with political power is even attempting to do the one thing that must be done: shut down fossil fuels. With trepidation, Hughes offers the last resort against the approaching climate catastrophe.
