Introduction : One way or another, everything changes.This one is about to upend the debate about the stormy era already upon us.-From publisher description.

Once a decade, Naomi Klein writes a book that redefines its era. It's about changing the world-before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe. Confronting it is no longer about changing the lightbulbs. Climate change, Klein argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms, and droughts. In fact, all around the world, the fight for the next economy and against reckless extraction is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring. We have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. We have been told it's impossible to get off fossil fuels, when in fact we know exactly how to do it-it just requires breaking every rule in the 'free market' playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies, and reclaiming our democracies. We have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate. In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth. The convenient truth is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better. The really inconvenient truth is that it's not about carbon-it's about capitalism. the climate / Naomi Klein Book Bib IDīook, Online - Google Booksįirst Simon & Schuster hardcover edition.įorget everything you think you know about global warming.
