Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown & The Ultimate Universal Choice
The History of "Overshoot" & the Economic Pressures of Fossil Fuels
The authors present a relentless historical overview of the current phase of the crisis, revealing how the idea of "overshoot" has become officially accepted. While the fossil fuel industry records its greatest profits in history, huge amounts of capital continue to flow into the construction of pipelines, platforms, and mines—infrastructures that must be destroyed to keep the planet sustainable.
Climate Justice, Global South & Technological Illusions
The book offers a strict critique of the notion that the Earth can be "cooled" later in the century through unfeasible or unproven technologies. It highlights the consequences of climate collapse, especially for the most vulnerable populations in the Global South, raising critical questions about the priorities of the economic system in relation to the survival of the planet.
