Acclaimed Swedish climate scholar Andreas Malm calls for the radicalization of climate activism, questioning and criticizing the stance of 'absolute non-violence' proposed by environmental activists.

The science on climate change has been clear for decades: carbon emissions need to stop immediately if we hope to keep our planet habitable.

Why is it that global investments are still pouring into the fossil fuel industry and governments are reluctant to enforce stricter environmental policies?

Andreas Malm is an acclaimed Swedish climate scholar, author, and lecturer in human ecology at Lund University.

In his 2021 book How to Blow up a Pipeline, Malm suggests that the time has come for the climate movement to escalate its tactics, explaining that there is no time for non-violent civil action when the world is on fire.
