About the Book:
To survive the climate crisis, we need money, brainpower and
infrastructure for the most effective climate solutions. Those resources
are currently being squandered by the nuclear weapons industry. We'll
also need the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters to stop pointing
nuclear missiles at each other and start building unprecedented global
cooperation. Can we "feed two birds with one scone" by converting assets
from nuclear weapons of mass extinction to evidence-based climate
solutions?
There are already excellent pathways to global
nuclear disarmament. There are already excellent alternatives to
burning fossil fuels. The obstacles are misinformation, propaganda, and
politicians corrupted by profiteering corporations. This book is a tool
kit for campaigners on both issues to work together on treaties,
divestment, boycotts, lobbying, legislation, education, conversion and
more. It debunks myths, frauds, and distractions. It's full of
well-documented facts and figures, tools and strategies, personal and
political inspiration for swift, decisive action.

"Beautiful. Hugely important, inspiring, exquisitely organized, and
beautifully written. If enough people see it, young and old, I feel sure
that all manner of good and important work will flow from it." —Randy
Kehler, former Executive Director, National Nuclear Weapons Freeze
