Is Science Enough?

About the book

Is Science Enough? by Aviva Chomsky is a non-fiction book for adult readers.

Why social, racial, and economic justice is just as crucial as science in determining how humans can reverse climate catastrophe. A plethora of studies describe the damage we've already done, the droughts, the wildfires, the super-storms, the melting glaciers, the heat waves, and the displaced people fleeing lands that are becoming uninhabitable. Many people understand that we are facing a climate emergency, but may be fuzzy on technical, policy, and social justice aspects.

In Is Science Enough?, Aviva Chomsky breaks down the concepts, terminology, and debates for activists, students, and anyone concerned about climate change. She argues that science is not enough to change course: we need put social, racial, and economic justice front and centre and overhaul the global growth economy. Chomsky's accessible primer focuses on 5 key issues: 1.) Technical questions. What exactly are "clean," "renewable," and "zero-emission" energy sources?
