Amanda Tattersall - she
tells us about Naomi
Klein's visit.

onorary Associate, Department of Geography at University of Sydney, Amanda Tattersall, writes on The Conversation about Naomi Klein’s visit to Australia.

“The author and activist Naomi Klein is currently on an Australian book tour, bringing us the terrifying message that climate change “changes everything”. I say terrifying because, if you follow Klein’s logic to its conclusion, the only way to stop climate change is literally to change everything: our cities, economies, energy systems and patterns of consumption.

“Klein’s argument is that climate change threatens every dimension of our life on “Earth – the result of an abusive relationship between people and planet, made possible by a voracious hyper-capitalist economy. Fixing climate change means changing how that economy works at its core.”
