On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal

Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLEROUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE: Climate breakdown has moved from a future threat to a burning emergency. So why are we failing to act? And what bold action would it take to put the fire out–to rouse us to fight for our lives, our children’s future and our planet?For more than a decade, Naomi Klein has tracked the evolution of the environmental crisis and the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose to do next. In this era of rising seas and rising discord, Klein makes the case for the Green New Deal as a practical framework that offers us a politically viable, just, sustainable path forward for tackling climate collapse and growing economic inequality at once. In a collection that pairs key past essays with bold new pieces, she captures the urgency of the moment and the energy of movements mobilizing to turn humanity’s greatest disaster into our greatest opportunity. On Fire is a hopeful, inspiring call to action for a planet on the brink.
