    Will enough people listen this time?
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019*

Thank the 'Great White North' for Naomi Klein and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau;  Klein for her succinct summaries of almost 10 years of environmental analysis in this gem of a brief book  - -  and Trudeau his very human response to change. Like Rachel Carson and 'Silent Spring', Klein will be remembered for explaining the attitudes, inactions and complacency that will shape our environment over the next century.  Her book is a concise gem.  Likewise, we can thank Trudeau for helping make it happen.  Had her warnings been heeded over the past four years, he'd now be bouncing about boasting, "We're No. 1!  We're No.!"  - -  instead of worrying about being "bounced" in his re-election bid. Let's start with Trudeau who, in 2017, told a cheering crowd of oil executives in Houston, "No country would find 173 billion barrels of oil in the ground and just leave it there."  (If Trudeau loses his re-election bid, his outlook will seem benign compared to the likely fate of the Alberta tar sands in the hands of Conservative cretins.) Klein succinctly outlines the impact of such decisions. (However, on a personal basis, I think humans are a "super virus" that is ravaging our planet.  But, I'm also an optimist.  After a few billion deaths, the planet and enough humans will survive in a new mutual understanding of Mama Nature.  Am I right?  Well, consider the May 6 Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services report, based on 15,000 research papers.  It predicts the extinction of a million species of animals, insects and plants by the end of the century.  In other words, at the present of pollution and exploitation, almost everything but 'Indifference' is threatened.)  It's time to listen. What is possible?  Well, consider the impact of the 'Silent Spring' by Rachel Carson, the early disaster warning in 1962 that is becoming the reality cited by Klein.  People always ignore the impact of pending disaster;  it's why there have been 10,000 "civilizations" in the last 5,000 years and none have survived its forecast of demise.  Carson's working title for the manuscript?  'Man Against the Earth'. Instead of Klein's "Green" response, it's likely people will use the tradition approach  - -  engineering.  It will be called 'geo engineering', and if it's very expensive, 'Brilliant Engineering'.  It may shield the planet with a near-space blanket of chemicals (or dust) as an umbrella to block sunlight.  Brilliant engineering created our modern world, but its dark side is always the "unknown unknowns."  Unk!  Unk!! Just how does "life" deal with a "virus" such as humanity?  If the past offers any guidance  - -  the first response will be a 'DDT' quickfix solution.  It's nice to invent the future;  it's something else to make it work.  On that note:  Where are the flying cars we were promised in 1945?  We don't even have 'smart' cars yet. Granted, she's optimistic.  It's the saving grace of her book, and a reason for all to trust in "just a bit of global disaster, nothing too serious."  In engineering we trust, all else is rust, dust and bust.  Remember the old saying from the 1930's Dust Bowl devastation?  "In God We Trusted, In Kansas We Busted." Let's do it again?

    Everyone needs to take this seriously.
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020*

As I’m sitting in CT on January 12th... it is 70 degrees and feels like Summer.  Last year at this time I was shoveling my driveway every morning.  Watching the fires burning in CA and Australia mainly on social media, not cable news, has been a shock.. However it’s just what Naomi talks about in her book.  At the same time, governments continue to hide climate truths from the general public.  Most people still don’t take it seriously in America.  We are going down a path that is not good unless we stand up to big oil, chemical corporations and corrupt governments.  It’s scary to see how late we are to confronting the climate crisis. It’s a battle for all life on earth and every plant and creature. Thank you Naomi for your honest and truthful book.  I will continue to buy more books from this author.

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020*

This book is a series of articles from Naomi Klein which attempt to bring a greater awareness to the climate urgency in conforming our lifestyles to sobriety, commitment and hopefulness. Political action plays an important and she values this role more than the role on an individual. I understand, but billions of individuals decide to play a role, this human tsunami would change the world. The universal language which brings awareness is yet unknown.
