CHOMSKY, Noam, 1928-; NUCLEAR warfare; CLIMATE change; TRUMP, Donald, 1946-; PARIS Agreement (2016)

Noam Chomsky, though a linguist of enormous stature, is best known outside his original field for an intense, left-leaning political engagement that has entailed pointed criticism of US foreign policy and an abiding interest in nuclear weapons and other technology-based threats to human civilization. In this interview, Chomsky speaks withBulletinsenior editor Lucien Crowder about the Trump administration’s policies on climate change, nuclear modernization, North Korea, and Iran – and about an intensification of “the extremely severe threats that all of us face.” [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
