This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein: Climate Change is More Then an Issue
Geschreven op 22-9-2015 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in KlimaatThe award-winning Canadian journalist, international activist and best-selling author (The Shock Doctrine, No Logo) depicts climate change as more than an “issue.”
It’s a civilizational wake-up call delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms and droughts. It demands that we challenge the dominant economic policies of deregulated capitalism and endless resource extraction.
Climate change is also the most powerful weapon in the fight for equality and social justice, and real solutions are emerging from the rubble of our failing systems. This speech was given at the Bioneers 2014 Conference.
