“This Changes Everything”

Naomi Klein does not view the leading “climate deniers” as bigots; she considers them to have settled on a critical decision to protect the fossil fuel industry for greed, perhaps, but also to maintain jobs for many of the workers who’ve sacrificed plentiful to keep this work. However, she alludes to the disconnect between workers, people and their government. People blame the workers on many of the issues that trailing, and oil pipelines create, yet for the most part, many of these workers dislike the impact they’re making on the environment and hope their employers’ transition into more environmentally friendly alternatives. Klein is honest in her impetus: she is of a democratic socialist orientation, has been slow in completely understanding climate change because of the human/animal disconnect (diminishing polar bear numbers aren’t enough to convince me there’s a climate issue), however it wasn’t until Klein was exposed to more of the issues climate change creates for humans that she decided to deduce that climate change is an actual issue not only effecting animals, but our consumer society, farm communities and even major cities. Klein recommends that we should transform the non-renewable energy source organizations into open utilities, thinking that we should leave most of what’s left of fossil resources in the ground, while applying the benefits gathered from consuming our residual carbon apportions to the change into sustainable power sources. She affirms that this is 100% achievable on a brief timeframe scale. Whether this helps, only time will tell; but this would definitely be a step in the right direction.
