Naomi Klein Takes On The Climate Wars
Friday/27 November 2009
Some good news today.
Naomi
Klein of
Shock
Doctrine and No Logo fame ("infamy" in some quarters) says
that her next book will focus on the climate change
upheavals.

Quoting from the Canadian Press article of today by Cassandra
Szklarski:
"It is
absolutely going to be a war in Copenhagen," Klein says in a recent
interview.
"I'm hearing more and more young environmentalists saying, 'We
think the way to solve this crisis is to leave fossil fuels in the
ground,' and this is particularly important in the Canadian context
where we are extracting some of the absolutely most lethal,
dirtiest forms of fossil fuels in the oil sands and the
tarsands."
Klein says the issue has galvanized young people the same way the
anti-corporate movement did 10 years ago.
Excellent! To the top of the billblog reading queue with
it!
