one thing is for sure, Naomi is a very beautiful woman!
-
Don't know why this woman who didn't even manage to complete her university education gets so much attention.
-
She's smart as a whip. I really like Naomi Klein.
-
Humanity screwed beacuase its not profitable to save it? That seems to be the truth!
-
In some places in Europe we pay 3 times as much for gasoline as in the US.. The truth is big oil runs the US, and investments in changing infrastructure and technology and recycling is years behind in the US compared to countries such as Germany, Sweden and other northern European countries..
Oil and gas is a finite resource,,, start treating it as such.....
Another big problem is that our entire money and banking system is built on a model with infinite growth... you can't have infinite growth on finite resources... ANd the major problem is that political decissions are making things worse by creating an increasing gap between rich and poor,, 85 people has as much money as the poorest 3 billion people,.... what a strange strange world -
This woman is awful.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th book in which she argues that Capitalism is over and the source of all of societies ills. After this attack there will surely be another. Always targeting Capitalism. Thanks to Capitalism, she has found a niche in the market to sell her books. She is pathetic.

The tree huggers planted many trees and there the earth is 75% water, which is a coolant, so global warming is laughable.
-
Naomi should spend more of her effort in fixing the real problem. If the problem is CO2 emission, why not find a way to convert CO2 into a more friendly molecule or compound. That will fix the problem and everyone will be on board. Operation Recycle is a better campaign.

The change would not be that drastic, all we really need is to end subsidies to fossil fuels and add a minor carbon tax, maybe invest that money into battery tech and solar subsidies and the market would sort itself out in 20 years, carbon neutral in 2040.
