Focusing on the inadequacy of government measures like eco-taxes and carbon trading, the book critiques the underlying profit motive that fuels the climate crisis. It argues that sustainable "green capitalism" is unattainable, supported by evidence from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The text also challenges the perspectives of well-known environmental authors and assesses Marxist contributions to the discussion, offering a comprehensive evaluation of economic and technological transition scenarios in addressing environmental issues.
