One thought on “Naomi Klein Interviewed about her new climate politics book

  1. Naomi Klein suggests that the only way society can radically improve the protection of the global environment is through mass movements from below. However, mass movements by the citizen body are complex in nature and organization. Finding a common theme to fight for can also prove to be extremely difficult. Some individuals are completely ignorant when it comes to climate change, while others just flat out deny it. On the other hand, some do agree that climate change is happening and agree that action should be taken to protect the planet. However, they lack urgency as the processes of climate change are not affecting them directly. I sincerely hope that something terrible does not have to take place first, for such a mass movement from below to develop and pressure the government for more effective strategies regarding climate change. For example, that the number of climate refugees from increased droughts, desertification, sea level rise, and the more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, rises rapidly. Consequently, I hope many individuals listen and contemplate Klein’s message. But more importantly, I hope that individuals take a pro-active approach in facilitating mass movements into pressuring the government to take on a more radical stance before it’s too late.
