À propos de cet audio
National Best Seller
A must-listen book. Naomi Klein pairs a decade of her powerful writing on our acute environmental decline with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose to do next and inspiringly offers here a politically viable, just, sustainable path forward.
For more than 20 years, Naomi Klein has been the foremost chronicler of the economic war waged on both people and planet - and the champion of a sweeping environmental agenda with stability and justice at its center. In lucid dispatches from the front lines - from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, to the annual smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, to post-hurricane Puerto Rico, to a Vatican attempting an unprecedented "ecological conversion" - she has penned surging, indispensable lectures and essays for a wide public, with prescient, clarifying information about the future that awaits us and our children if we stick our heads in the sand. They show Klein at her most thoughtful, tracing the evolution of the climate crisis as the key issue of our time, not only as an immediate political challenge but as a spiritual and imaginative one, too.
Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of "perpetual now," to the soaring history of humans' ability to change rapidly in the face of grave threat, to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of "climate barbarism", this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink. Above all, she underscores how we can still rise to the existential challenge of the crisis if we are willing to transform our systems that are producing it, making clear how the battle for a greener world is indistinguishable from the fight for our lives.
On Fire is a critical book: It captures the burning urgency of this moment, the fiery energy of a rising movement demanding change now, and lays out an inspiring vision for a sustainable future.

Histoire
In 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. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies.

Histoire
Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticize urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across 30 times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry.

Histoire
The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest?

Histoire
Around the world, geophysicists and mathematicians, oceanographers and meteorologists, engineers, economists, psychologists, and philosophers have been using their expertise to develop a deep understanding of the crises we face. Greta Thunberg has created The Climate Book in partnership with more than one hundred of these experts in order to equip us all with this knowledge. Alongside them, Thunberg shares her own stories of learning, demonstrating, and uncovering greenwashing around the world. This is one of our biggest problems, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope.

The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Naomi Klein’s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations.” (Greta Thunberg)
“Naomi Klein is a precious gift: Every time I read her words, my heart leaps from sadness and anger to action. She takes us deep, down to the roots of what is wrong - and then up, up to a height from which we can see what must be done. Everything we love is at stake now: these writings are our best and brightest hope.” (Emma Thompson)
“Masterful.... What separates Klein from many other advocates for a Green New Deal is her balanced combination of idealism and politics-based realism.... Another important addition to the literature on the most essential issue of our day.” (Kirkus Reviews)

urgent action required
Climate reality changes fast, but even in May 2023, this book is still extremely relevant, maybe even more so then when it was written. Thank you Naomi and green new deal team.

Good read, though a bit heavyhanded
The book gives a lot of interesting points on how to address climate age, though I found it a bit too forceful on the points regarding ending/rebuilding the current economic system. To be fair that is perhaps that is my centrism resisting the idea. Other feedback I have is that the start of the book discussing Greta was very boring. I don't find her story to be very important to the rest of the book's arguments and could have been said in much less words.

Heartbreaking
A few years ago, I recall seeing Naomi on a panel with other local academics. One panelist was the Dean from my school. It seemed like he invited her just so he could have a photo-op of being onstage. I remember telling people how much of a potato he was compared to Naomi.
I purchased and listened to this the day it came out. It was heartbreaking to know that such a compelling case would not prevail in a world full of human-shaped potato people.
Naomi is the real-deal. Unfortunately some people just want a photo-op while the world burns.

This book is all about Naomi
I am struggling to finish this. I thought it would be a good analysis of what a green new deal looks like. In fact it's more of a self-referential, American-style timeline of Klein's accomplishments. It reads like a boring CV. I'm disappointed and would like a refund.
