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
New Cold Wars—the latest from the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of The Perfect Weapon David E. Sanger—is a fast-paced account of America’s plunge into simultaneous confrontations with two very different adversaries. For years, the United States was confident that the newly democratic Russia and increasingly wealthy China could be lured into a Western-led order that promised prosperity and relative peace—so long as they agreed to Washington’s terms. By the time America emerged from the age of terrorism, it was clear that this had been a fantasy.

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.

Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the West and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the repercussions of European colonialism in Africa remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.

On Anarchism provides the reasoning behind Noam Chomsky's fearless lifelong questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. In these essays, Chomsky redeems one of the most maligned ideologies, anarchism, and places it at the foundation of his political thinking. Chomsky's anarchism is distinctly optimistic and egalitarian. Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action.

First published in 1936, Keynes’ ideas had evolved during the difficulties following World War 1 in Europe, and the US crash and the Depression of the 1920s-'30s and the misery of mass unemployment. He deplored the situation where a few individuals or companies stored massive wealth while vast numbers experienced poverty and insecurity (his alarm bells ring today!) and sought to promote initiatives where governments could intervene with social projects to keep money fluctuating.

On January 6, 2021, insurgents stormed the U.S. Capitol, an act of domestic terror without parallel in American history, designed to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. In a resolution six months later, the House of Representatives called it "one of the darkest days of our democracy," and established a special committee to investigate how and why the attack happened. Celadon Books, in collaboration with The New Yorker, presents the committee's final report, the definitive account of January 6th and what led up to it.

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.

In Generation Dread, Britt Wray seamlessly merges scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show how these intense feelings are a healthy response to the troubled state of the world. The first crucial step toward becoming an engaged steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions, seeing them as a sign of humanity, and learning how to live with them. We have to face and value eco-anxiety, Wray argues, before we can conquer the deeply ingrained, widespread reactions of denial and disavowal that have led humanity to this alarming period of ecological decline.

Description
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. She exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers, and the tragic defeatism of too many mainstream green initiatives. And she demonstrates precisely why the market does not - and cannot - fix the climate crisis, but will instead make things worse, with ever more extreme and ecologically damaging extraction methods, accompanied by rampant disaster capitalism.
Klein argues that the changes to 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. And she documents the inspiring movements that have already begun this process: communities that are not just refusing to be sites of further fossil fuel extraction but are building the next, regeneration-based economies right now.
Can we pull off these changes in time? Nothing is certain. Nothing except that climate change changes everything. And for a very brief time, the nature of that change is still up to us.

Passionate and wishful
Ms Klein has produced a highly charged, passionate statement for immediate action to stem climate change. Filled with first hand anecdotes and quotes from both sides of the debate with a litany of eco-crimes committed by the fossil fuel industry. That said, she glosses over the science. Condemns all efforts to adjust to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Dismisses non-carbon emitting energy sources such as nuclear power. Derides geo-engineering by focusing solely on the worst case form (atmospheric sulphate seeding) while totally ignoring other more benign but equally effective methods. States as fact that current renewables (wind and solar) can completely replace fossil fuels yet fails to address the fact that the metals needed to construct the motors, power grid and batteries DOES NOT EXIST, either in current circulation (metals being mined or scrap metal) nor in known but undeveloped mineral deposits. Her solution lies in grassroots activism to enact world change. If current theories on the imminence (less than a decade away) of a tipping point are to be believed, then I’ll place my hopes on humanity’s ability to adjust and innovate.

Climate change through a social policy lens
Naomi Klein does a great job expressing secondary factors associated with climate change, indigenous rights, socialist policies like universal basic income, universal education and healthcare. Thought the section on indigenous rights was particularly well done. The first section of the book was a little difficult to get through as it revolves around scare tactic and anecdotes to punctuate the need for climate action, sort of easy to see through. Would rather have had a more detailed science or even economic approach to discussing the need for climate action. All in all a great listen if you’re interested in learning about climate change through a social policy lens, but if you’re looking for a scientific discussion probably best served elsewhere.

Worth the read
This book is certainly hard on the moral at first, stating the numerous ways that climate is compromised. Although, Klein goes on to describe with efficacity the problems of capitalism and the errors that brought us were we are today. This book will help you to develop your understanding of the crisis and will enlight you as of what is necessary to change the curse of this tangent.

Great Book on climate change and it’s roots
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book. It gave me so much insight into the battle between capitalism and climate change that’s been happening for so long. If you want to get a good introduction into topics like how free trade is impacting the climate change in a negative way, how treaty violations and the indigenous communities around the globe are struggling to battle multibillion dollar oil and natural gas companies who want to deplete the land, and how local groups can standup to big conglomerates and other areas this is the book for you!

Repetitive and boring
This book is listed as 20 hours long. I made it thru 5 hours, but I couldn’t do any more. It is like being at a party and being lectured by the most pompous person about how the world is wrong. There are some valid points made, but the delivery is mind numbing. I like to listen while driving or walking. The author likes to use stats as arguments and I find the audio format does not support that type of delivery. This is a book that is likely better read.
