“Climate Radicals is an eye-opening book. When reading it, I had an almost physical sensation of the most popular cliches of climate politics starting to melt down.” —Ivan Krastev, author of The Light That Failed “Climate Radicals is a concise, accessible, and revealing study of the dilemmas climate activists face as they seek to rally public support and pressure overly cautious leaders. Democratic governments must face pressure to act, but confrontational tactics and calls for radical change risk provoking a public backlash and leaving the status quo unchanged. The book is a sobering reminder that successful climate action requires a political solution, and that success is far from guaranteed.” —Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University “Once seen as anti-establishment radicals, green campaigners in Europe and the US now seem to be stuck. Should they work within the Establishment or fight against it? Should they advocate sweeping change or incrementalism? In this powerful assessment of climate change activism in Germany and the US, Cameron Abadi describes the many dilemmas it is facing. Mixing vivid on-the-ground reporting with deep research, he describes a movement facing resistance on a number of fronts, while retaining resilience about its future.” —John Kampfner, author of Why Germans Do It Better and In Search of Berlin “Abadi’s close-up study of German climate politics reveals an obsession with performance over policy.” —Kirkus Reviews
