Highly recommend this. Connects the failings (or un met demmands) of old movements to large inequalities today in the call for system change (economically) in the name of climate (and social) justice.

I love she elaborates what is the correlation of country's economy with climate change. The books is really give me some insight especially in economic policy how it is relates to enviromental action. I'd love to read another penguin green ideas after this :O
Thankyou The Bookdepository!

*Thanks you to Penguin for sending this copy across to me for review!*
It took me a second to get into this as it was confusing with the language, but as soon as I got into the flow of it I got quite invested. This ended up being so interesting and highlighting how little I really knew about the topic.
It was so well written and researched. It managed to go over so many nuances and discuss things in detail, yet kept it concise. It taught me a lot and made so many valid arguments that have never even crossed my mind - I realise reading this how little I actually know about global warming and the actual problems we’re facing.
Though the narrative felt a bit political and American at times, it tried to be broad and inclusive with what it was saying. I don’t necessarily know if it was put in the most accessible way, as some of the language felt like it could’ve been more plainly. The money talk in general made no sense to me because money as a concept just frustrates me endlessly, but it was logical as much as it could be.
The talk of environmental racism was great here and something I’d really like to read more on. I was interested in how Klein discussed how our capitalism feeds into our environmental issues and how governments are failing us and cleverly shifting blame to make themselves look better as the detriment of communities of colour.
It didn’t just highlight problems though, it offered realist solutions to what we’re facing. A quick but informative read that I enjoyed more than I was anticipating!
