According to Naomi Klein were have a climate barbarism in the world, and our current lifestyle causes it. Each day due to own lack of taking action were continue to contribute to the climate crisis. In modern-day, it is hard to convince people that there is a climate crisis, and therefore people tend to go on with their usual business until it is too late that is when they start to react. People are always slow to react since fighting the battle about climate change entails fighting the most influential organization and people in the world. Most of the companies that are known to pollute the environment like oil extraction industries are owned by the dominant individual, fund by banks and supported by elected political leaders. Therefore, unless an alliance is formed with influential people who have the same vision of protecting the environment, the reaction will continue being slow.
Klein says that the only way to save ourselves is we start reacting right away by embracing the New Green Deal. IT is a vision that aims to transform our economic condition and at the same time, fight inequality in the world. According to Klein, in this era where there is a rise in heat and the rising seas, the only means of salvaging our lives is by embracing this vision. If we do not accept that there is a problem now, it will be too late when we decide to make a change. There is a need to catalyze Green New deal if the climate is to be saved. A transformation in our current system is needed, and only when we transform our system will the change start occurring.
Changing our behaviour starts with accepting that there is a need for change. It starts with having the right people in office who have the integrity and will to fight for what is right. Every day we have powerful people in office that do not care about the environment or equality. They assume that the wealth the gain will save them when the rest of the people are suffering because of the climatic crisis. The ozone layer continues to be destroyed, and every day the heat rises in the world. Therefore, the changes will entail everyone plays their individual and group role in saving the environment. It would be a vision that can get accomplished if everyone played their part.
According to Klein climate change will continue to have a racial relation with Us. Despite the many changes that occur in the nation and the election of various leaders to lead the nation, the environment continues to degrade, and inequality among people continues to occur. Saving the planet comes with fighting racism and poverty in the nation. The Green New deal aim at accomplishing their primary goal of saving the planet by protecting the environment, eradicating poverty and eliminating racism that goes on today. All these problems have to get solved at the same time. However, all hope is not lost because a group of young people have realized that there is a climate crisis; hence they gather together to demand climate change. On fire, according to Klein, is a book that is meant to inform people on the need for supporting the Green New deal. It is bout informing people about the climatic crisis that exist so that they can react right know when there is still time and save the planet.
