Noam Chomsky's best-known political contribution is his powerful, long-running critique of US foreign policy. But Chomsky has also used his global platform to sound the alarm about the climate crisis and chart a path away from disaster.
The article from Jacobin, published in March 2025, features an interview with Noam Chomsky discussing the impacts of neoliberalism on the climate crisis. Chomsky critiques the neoliberal economic policies that prioritize market freedom over environmental and social welfare, arguing that these policies have exacerbated climate change by promoting deregulation, privatization, and the commodification of natural resources. He highlights how these policies have led to increased corporate power, reduced governmental oversight, and a lack of collective action on climate issues. Chomsky also touches on the resistance to these policies, mentioning movements and alternative economic models that advocate for sustainability, equity, and a rethinking of how economies should function in relation to the environment. He emphasizes the urgent need for systemic change to address the climate crisis effectively, pointing out that without significant shifts away from neoliberal doctrines, the future looks grim for global ecosystems and human societies.
