Today, this transformative program has a name: the Green New Deal.

Rather, Klein wants to awaken us to the growing global movement for action - real action, radical and transformative, striking at the roots of climate inaction in institutionalized racism, inequality and colonialism. Klein’s new book, “On Fire,” collects essays written between 2010 and now, as a kind of time-series of unheeded warnings about the climate crisis, with ever more dire consequences mounting around us.īut her purpose is not to dishearten us by forcing us to confront our failures. Canadian writer and activist Naomi Klein has been one of the most forceful and even lyrical voices for social justice for decades, and her book “No Logo” remains one of the best articulations of radical sentiment leading up to the 1999 Battle of Seattle, when protesters from around the world tried to block the adoption of the World Trade Organization agreement.
