About the Book
There are already excellent pathways to global nuclear disarmament, and excellent alternatives to fossil fuels. The obstacles to surviving the “twin threats” are misinformation, propaganda, and politicians corrupted by profiteering corporations. This is a handbook for campaigners on both issues to work together on treaties, divestment, boycotts, legislation, education, conversion, and more. This book debunks frauds, myths and distractions. It explores the idea of “feeding two birds with one scone” by converting massive amounts of money, brainpower and infrastructure from weapons of mass extinction to good jobs in evidence-based climate solutions. Full of well-documented facts and figures, tools and strategies, personal and political inspiration for swift, decisive action.
