Global warming can only be halted if we radically change the capitalist system - Naomi Klein


Naomi Klein believes we can only stop global warming if we radically change our capitalist system.

We must radically change the
capitalist system if we are to
stop global warming, says
author, Naomi Klein.
The Canadian author, journalist and social activist known for her political analyses and criticism of corporate globalization and of corporate capitalism, has made that point in an interview with Spiegal Online International.

The interview, headed: “SPIEGEL Interview with Naomi Klein: 'The Economic System We Have Created Global Warming'” said in answer to one question: “it's still a physical possibility. We would have to immediately reduce global emissions by 6 percent a year.

“The wealthier countries would have to carry a greater burden, meaning the United States and Europe would have to be cutting emissions by around 8 to 10 percent a year. Immediately.

“It's not impossible. It is just profoundly politically unrealistic under our current system, she said.
