Noam Chomsky: Internationalism or Extinction (56 min) | Click here to watch

A landmark lecture by Noam Chomsky about the threats to planetary survival that are of growing concern today. The prospect of human extinction emerged after World War II - the dawn of a new era scientists now term the Anthropocene. Chomsky uniquely traces the duality of existential threats from nuclear weapons and from climate change – including how the concerns emerged and evolved, and how the threats can interact with one another.
