520    "Recycle. Fly less. Eat less meat. These are some of the 
       tactics that we've been told can slow climate change. But 
       most of these recommendations are a result of a multi-
       pronged marketing campaign that has succeeded in placing 
       the responsibility for fixing climate change squarely on 
       the shoulders of individuals. Fossil fuel companies have 
       followed the example of other industries deflecting blame 
       (think "guns don't kill people, people kill people") or 
       greenwashing (think of the beverage industry's "Crying 
       Indian" commercials of the 1980s). Meanwhile, they've 
       blocked efforts to regulate or price carbon emissions, run
       PR campaigns aimed at discrediting viable alternatives, 
       and have abdicated their responsibility in fixing the 
       problem they've created. The result has been disastrous 
       for our planet. In The New Climate War, Mann argues that 
       all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the 
       people and the polluters--fossil fuel companies, right-
       wing plutocrats, and petrostates. And he outlines a plan 
       for forcing our governments and corporations to wake up 
       and make real change, including: a common-sense, 
       attainable approach to carbon tax-- an overhaul of the 
       flawed Green New Deal; allowing renewable energy to 
       compete fairly against fossil fuels debunking the false 
       narratives and arguments that have worked their way into 
       the climate debate and driven a wedge between even those 
       who support climate change solutions how to combat climate
       doomism. With immensely powerful vested interests aligned 
       in defense of the fossil fuel status quo, the societal 
       tipping point won't happen without the active 
       participation of citizens everywhere aiding in the 
       collective push forward. This book will reach, inform, and
       enable citizens everywhere to join this battle for our 
       planet"--|cProvided by publisher.
