Since the global down turn how has our attitude to the climate changed? Why are we gambling on the future of our planet?

Naomi Klein argues either we embrace radical change ourselves or radical changes will be visited upon our physical world. The status quo is no longer an option.

Her new book,  This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. We must change our relationship with nature and one another that are required to respond to the climate crisis humanely should not be viewed as grim penance, but rather as a kind of gift—a catalyst to transform broken economic and cultural priorities and to heal long-festering historical wounds.
