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 U.S. 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.Environmental justiceOffenses against the environmentClimatic changesGovernment policyClimatic changesMoral and ethical aspectsCorporationsCorrupt practicesCriminologyEnvironmental aspectsGlobal warmingGovernment policyGlobal warmingMoral and ethical aspectsElectronic books.Environmental justice.Offenses against the environment.Climatic changesGovernment policy.Climatic changesMoral and ethical aspects.CorporationsCorrupt practices.CriminologyEnvironmental aspects.Global warmingGovernment policy.Global warmingMoral and ethical aspects.364.1/45Kramer Ronald C.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut919252White Rob943745DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910493695203321Carbon Criminals, Climate Crimes2490910UNINA
