Malm’s How to Blow Up a Pipeline is a provocation wrapped in scholarship — an uncompromising argument that the climate movement’s commitment to nonviolence has not matched the scale or urgency of the crisis. He doesn’t call for reckless destruction; he calls for strategic sabotage of fossil fuel infrastructure when all polite avenues have failed. With historical analysis and moral clarity, Malm asks a question many are afraid to voice: when the stakes are planetary survival, what forms of resistance are justified?
