Critics Review
“The Climate Crisis and Other Animals goes to the heart of a problem that besets efforts to tackle climate change: the crisis of anthropocentrism in human–animal relations. As Twine deftly demonstrates, this crisis not only undermines our potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions but is also constitutive of the climate emergency itself. He crystallises a key insight: transforming human–animal relations must be a principal consideration and focus of action if we are to remedy climate breakdown. In doing so, he makes a significant contribution to critical animal studies (CAS), offering a corrective to the exclusion of nonhuman animals from discourses on climate ethics and the sociology of climate change, and from climate justice movements.”

“This timely monograph provides an extensive review of the animal-industrial complex, analysing its role in the climate crisis.”
