Der Fortschritt dieses Sturms

Theoretical foundational work for an uncompromising climate revolution

In this fiercely polemical, analytically astute, and fact-laden book, Andreas Malm develops a compelling argument: In a warming world, it is more important than ever to distinguish between the natural and the social. Only through specifically human agency can resistance be possible and change conceivable. The changes in the climate and the warming of the Earth are analyzed from various perspectives. In light of droughts and crop failures, flooding disasters, and storms of unprecedented magnitude, all the real impacts that global warming is already causing today render these concepts trivial. For Andreas Malm, the climate movement is the benchmark against which theory will have to be measured in the future. He calls for a clear identification of the opponents and their political entanglements, as the sole agent of global warming is humanity.
