#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTION From the author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine-- a brilliant explanation of why the climate crisis challenges us to abandon the core "free market" ideology of our time, restructure the global economy, and remake our political systems. In this new classic of environmental politics, bestselling and award-winning author Klein argues that our current growth-based economic model is waging war on the life support systems of our planet. Using phenomenal research, she lays out why climate change is not an "issue"--it is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms and droughts. Klein attacks the dominant economic policies of deregulated capitalism and endless resource extraction, and brilliantly identifies the threads that connect our failed responses to the crisis--from hard-core climate deniers to celebrity billionaires with messiah complexes, to the reckless quest to engineer the planet-- and she reveals how the "Big Green" environmental organizations may be hurting more than helping. She argues that we urgently need an entirely new model of human progress and shows why climate change--with its full economic and moral implications understood--is the most powerful weapon we have ever had in the fight for equality and social justice. Tracing the rise of a bold new resistance movement against extreme energy, she highlights the real solutions emerging in the rubble of our failed systems--solutions that require us to break virtually every rule in the free-market playbook.

Seems like civilization was always running into wilderness. Seems like about 1836 civilization began to run out of wilderness. If Biosphere ran out of air first, science, up until now has always been trumped by politics. Duck, cover, plant a flower for the bees, dig in. Don't give and inch. They never bring it up unless they want to cut it in half.

Read this important book!
For Earth to remain habitable by humans, our communities and governments must take strong action soon. Klein explains why, reveals how free-market ideology and global corporate control stand in the way, and describes actions we can take -- actions some people are already taking -- to preserve the planet for our children and grandchildren.
