This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs The Climate

In This Changes Everything, Naomi Klein argues that climate change is not a scientific or environmental issue, but a deeply political and economic one. She shows how the relentless pursuit of profit and growth has led us to the brink of catastrophe, and how we must change our economic system if we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

Klein begins by tracing the history of capitalism, from its origins in the enclosure of the commons to its current globalized form. She shows how capitalism has always been driven by the need for endless growth, and how this growth has come at a great cost to the environment. The burning of fossil fuels, the deforestation of the world's forests, and the overconsumption of resources have all contributed to climate change.

Klein also argues that capitalism is inherently incompatible with the need to protect the environment. She shows how the profit motive leads businesses to externalize the costs of their pollution, and how the free market system makes it difficult to regulate emissions. As a result, we are facing a climate crisis that threatens to destabilize our entire planet.

Klein's book is a powerful and urgent call to action. She argues that we must change our economic system if we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change. She proposes a number of solutions, including:

• A Green New Deal to invest in renewable energy and create millions of jobs.
• A carbon tax to make polluters pay for their emissions.
• A global climate treaty to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

Klein's book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of our planet. It is a powerful and urgent call to action that we must heed if we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
