Abrupt climate change is sudden climate change that is detectable over a human lifetime. Naomi Klein explains that we can embrace radical change ourselves or radical changes will be visited upon our physical world. The status quo is no longer an option.
Naomi exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers, and the tragic defeatism of many mainstream green initiatives. Also she shows why the market cannot fix the climate crisis but will instead make things worse, with ever more extreme and ecologically damaging extraction methods.
Naomi Klein is a Canadian author, journalist, syndicated columnist and social activist known for her political analyses and criticism of corporate globalization. Naomi is interviewed by Francesca Rheannon. Source: writer's voice: Climate Changes Everything
