Are we being deceived? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Carbon colonialism, Laurie Parsons exposes how rich countries cook the books on climate change - by outsourcing it to the global South. Conducting first-hand research across Asia, he reveals how exporting emissions and waste allows states and corporations to maintain a clean, green image. Meanwhile, landfills expand and droughts and floods intensify, with devastating effects on the world's most vulnerable communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Technical fixes and creative accounting are a mirage.
