In his 2013 book: Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe Noam Chomsky warned that we are facing Quote: "two problems for our speciesâ survival â nuclear war and environmental catastrophe." Up to this point in history problems caused by humans were regional. However just in the last few decades climate change and nuclear war have become a threat to all life.
Chomsky was born in Philadelphia in 1928. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania where he received his PhD in linguistics in 1955. In 1967 he gained public attention for his vocal opposition to U.S. involvement in the war on Vietnam and was arrested several times. He was appointed Institute Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976 - where he is now Professor emeritus. He became famous as a radical intellectual with the publication of his book, Manufacturing Consent, in 1988. Chomsky has written and lectured widely on linguistics, philosophy, intellectual history, contemporary issues, international affairs and US foreign policy.
