Noam Chomsky, 93, who is often hailed as one of the world's most important intellectuals, warns that we are approaching the most dangerous point in human history. The linguist and social critic has been through a lot in the 20th century. In a recent interview with The New Statesman, he recalled how frightened he was listening to Hitler's speeches on the radio at the age of 6 and writing about the 1939 fall of Barcelona at the age of 10.NextShark
Chomsky says we are facing the prospect of destruction of human life on Earth.
Climate change has been the central topic of Chomsky's most recent works, in which he writes about the inextricable tie between global warming and capitalism. He believes that Earth is unsalvageable, even with the establishment of policies to decrease carbon output.
Donald Trump has done more to try to drive the human race to extinction than any other person in history. He listed Trump's policies that focused on maximizing fossil fuels and cutting back on climate change regulations.

Chomsky's father was born in present-day Ukraine. It is not enough to simply write the conflict off as a matter of Putin's mind, according to Chomsky.
Chomsky told the Statesman that Putin is as concerned with democracy as we are. He said that in September 2021, the U.S. sent advanced weapons to Ukraine in the name of enhanced military cooperation.
Chomsky said that we are supposed to honor and admire Washington's enormous commitment to sovereignty and democracy.
When asked about the relationship between Russia and China, Chomsky said that it was a relationship based on strategy rather than a partnership.
Chomsky compared the lack of global military support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq to the lack of support for the rest of the world.
