Andreas Malm and Wim Carton's 'The Long Heat: Climate Politics When It’s Too Late' critiques the current trajectory of climate solutions, which they argue often distract from the fundamental need to reduce fossil fuel dependence. The authors highlight various proposed solutions, such as geoengineering and carbon removal technologies, as inadequate and potentially harmful. They assert that these approaches arise from a societal unwillingness to confront 'fossil capital'—the entrenched economic interests that prioritize fossil fuel profits over environmental sustainability. The book emphasizes the necessity of dismantling fossil fuel infrastructure and calls for a reevaluation of climate politics, suggesting that adaptation strategies may serve as convenient excuses for inaction. Ultimately, Malm and Carton argue that while the situation is dire, it is not too late to pursue meaningful change.
