Naomi Klein argues that climate change is an existential threat to humankind, yet Klein is confident that people can meet the challenge when she says, “And when the future of life is at stake, there is nothing we cannot achieve” (p. 291). First, briefly summarize what climate change is and what kind of a situation we are facing. In other words, how bad is it? Next, what needs to be done? Klein, for example, says that “this transformation represents a revolution in how we live, work, and consume” (p.201). She talks about concepts like real democracy and justice; she often talks about youth culture stepping up and pushing for a Green New Deal. What does she mean? Finally, can we do it? Are you as optimistic as Klein? Explain.
