This changes everything — how?
Naomi Klein: So the ‘this’ in This Changes Everything is
climate change. And the argument that I make in the book is that we
find ourselves in this moment where there are no non-radical options
left before us. Change or be changed, right? And what we mean by that is
that climate change, if we don’t change course, if we don’t change our
political and economic system, is going to change everything about our
physical world. And that is what climate scientists are telling us when
they say business as usual leads to three to four degrees Celsius of
warming. That’s the road we are on. We can get off that road, but we’re
now so far along it, we’ve put off the crucial policies for so long,
that now we can’t do it gradually. We have to swerve, right? And
swerving requires such a radical departure from the kind of political
and economic system we have right now that we pretty much have to change
everything.
