Excellent- More about How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire
The science on climate change is clear, but we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. Andreas Malm argues that the climate movement needs to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse and force fossil fuel extraction to stop with our actions, bodies, and by defusing and destroying its tools. He offers a counter-history of how mass popular change has occurred and argues that the strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the only route for revolutionary change.

The science on climate change has been crystal clear for an extended period, yet despite decades of appeals, massive street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a thriving fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest?
In this impassioned manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an ardent call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse. We need, he argues, to force fossil fuel extraction to stop—with our actions, with our bodies, and by defusing and destroying its tools. We need, in short, to start blowing up some oil pipelines.
Offering a counter-history of how mass popular change has occurred, from the democratic revolutions overthrowing dictators to the movement against apartheid and for women's suffrage, Malm argues that the strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the only route for revolutionary change. In a braided narrative that moves from the forests of Germany and the streets of London to the deserts of Iraq, Malm offers us an incisive discussion of the politics and ethics of pacifism and violence, democracy and social change, strategy and tactics, and a movement compelled by both the heart and the mind. Here is how we fight in a world on fire.
