Book Synopsis (from thischangeseverything.org<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Forget everything you think you know about global warming. <\/b>The really inconvenient truth is that it\u2019s not about carbon\u2014it\u2019s about capitalism. The convenient truth is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better.<\/p>\n

In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine <\/i>and No Logo<\/i>, tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth.<\/p>\n

Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate.\u2028\u2028We have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. We have been told it\u2019s impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it\u2014it just requires breaking every rule in the \u201cfree-market\u201d playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies, and reclaiming our democracies.<\/p>\n

We have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight for the next economy and against reckless extraction is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring.<\/p>\n

Climate change, Klein argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms, and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. It\u2019s about changing the world\u2014before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe. \u2028\u2028Either we leap\u2014or we sink.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
