Global Burning

In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith examines the alarming correlation between devastating wildfires and the rise of authoritarian politics across the globe. She posits that these fires, burning in diverse locations like Brazil, California, and Australia, symbolize broader trends of climate crises intertwined with the erosion of liberal democracy. The audiobook explores how political and corporate interests exploit anti-environmentalism, fueling extreme right movements and exacerbating climate injustice. Darian-Smith urges listeners to recognize the interconnectedness of these phenomena in order to confront the systemic inequalities contributing to ecological collapse.
