In "Climate Change as Class War" (Verso Books, May 2022), Professor Matthew Huber urges us to understand the environmental crisis as stemming from the same issues of exploitative production that harm workers. The climate fight, he contends, is not a cultural struggle against those who consume the most carbon—be they rich individuals or wealthy nations—but a class struggle against those who actually produce fossil fuels. Huber discusses his new book in The Nation article, "The Green Transition Must Be Union-Powered."
