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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Offenses against the environment. 650 0 $a Criminology $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Global warming $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Global warming $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Corporations $x Corrupt practices. 650 0 $a Environmental justice. 650 7 $a Climatic changes $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864245 650 7 $a Climatic changes $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864255 650 7 $a Corporations $x Corrupt practices. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879825 650 7 $a Environmental justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913104 650 7 $a Global warming $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00943512 650 7 $a Global warming $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00943522 650 7 $a Offenses against the environment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01044026 830 0 $a Critical issues in crime and society. 941 $a 2 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20220128010318.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014722.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7CC9C08B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
