Description
The Climate Crisis and Other Animals by Richard Twine is a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of climate change on nonhuman animals. Twine argues that a climate and food justice movement, inclusive of nonhuman animals, is crucial for addressing the crisis. The book delves into the politicised controversy surrounding animal agriculture's contribution to emissions, highlighting the benefits of a vegan diet in reducing these impacts. Twine also critiques human-centred framings of the climate crisis, advocating for a more nuanced approach that includes practices of animal commodification and the importance of documenting the effects of climate change on other species. By examining the intersections between climate breakdown, animal agriculture, and dominant human-animal relations, Twine presents a compelling case for transforming our relationship with animals to create a more sustainable and just food system.
