"Nithya Natarajan and Laurie Parsons’ powerful collection on the issue of global warming and labour depicts the plight of workers in the Global South, exposed to what might be called the three evils of global warming: 1) the loss of livelihoods because of droughts, floods, landslides, etc.; 2) physical and mental suffering because of heat – heat strokes, dehydration, liver failure, etc.; and 3) forced migration because of global warming."Thomas Klikauer, Western Sydney University, Australia
