Naomi Klein on necessary and urgent climate action

From her Democracy Now interview. We need far more than moderate tweaks; we need The Green New Deal and we need it now. You can also read the transcript here. In the video below is first Klein's Intercept message, then the interview.

"So many environmental responses have just been minor tweaks to an economy based on endless consumption — take your electric car to the drive-thru for an Impossible Burger and a Coke with a paper straw. Look, of course it’s better than the alternative. But it’s nowhere close to the depth of change required if we hope to actually pull our planet back from the brink."
