It advances the field of green criminology through a examination of the criminal nature of catastrophic environmental harms resulting from the release of greenhouse gases. The book describes and explains what corporations in the fossil fuel industry, the US government, and the international political community did, or failed to do, in relation to global warming. Carbon Criminals, Climate Crimes integrates research and theory from a wide variety of disciplines, to analyze four specific state-corporate climate crimes: continued extraction of fossil fuels and rising carbon emissions; political omission (failure) related to the mitigation of these emissions; socially organized climate change denial; and climate crimes of empire, which include militaristic forms of adaptation to climate disruption. The final chapter reviews policies that could mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to a warming world, and achieve climate justice"-- OP - 281 CN - HV6401 .K73 2020 SN - 9781978805606 SN - 1978805608 SN - 9781978807648 SN - 1978807643 SN - 9781978807631 SN - 1978807635 SN - 9781978805590 SN - 1978805594 SN - 9781978805583 SN - 1978805586 KW - Offenses against the environment.
