Inhaltsangabe
Number one New York Times and internationally best-selling author Naomi Klein makes the case for a Green New Deal in this “keenly argued, well-researched, and impassioned” manifesto (The Washington Post).
An instant best seller, On Fire shows Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of “perpetual now,” to the soaring history of humans changing and evolving rapidly in the face of grave threats, to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of “climate barbarism,” this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink. An expansive, far-ranging exploration that sees the battle for a greener world as indistinguishable from the fight for our lives, On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal.
“Naomi Klein’s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations.” (Greta Thunberg, climate activist)
"If I were a rich man, I’d buy 245 million copies of Naomi Klein’s On Fire and hand-deliver them to every eligible voter in America.... Klein is a skilled writer." (Jeff Goodell, The New York Times)

A manifesto for the survival of our species
Leaves no doubt about how we must move forward together in tackling the climate emergency: "Leave the oil and gas in the ground, but leave no worker behind".

Great read for all in need of panic
this book is a very dramatic summary on
1. Climate Change (by individual weather desaster examples) => the author apparently has a deficit in understanding the difference of weather and climate.
2. That only great governments are responsible for all great things ever happened. Especially when it is as planned as possible. Planned innovation is the best!
3. markets never did anything good and are the root cause of evil, climate change and toxic masculinity...
4. all white people are guilty and have to pay damages to everyone else especially if they should be male.
5. you need to be organized in a union or other activist group to actually matter.
6. overpolpulation (especially of toxic and guilty people)
7. inner US politics with strong support of Mrs. Cortez and Mr. Sanders with a less inclusive approach for anything else especially (republican)_.
8. high employment numbers potential (if you want to work) by low energy source installation and maintenance needs, which luckily needs to replaced quite frequently. This should be supported by laws to only make wind and solar legal investments so you will mever run our of jobs.
9. everyone should be at least vegetarian better be vegan.
10. no risk ever should be taken. it is much easier to just let a government do everything right, instead of setting a framework of rules and monitoring for unforeseen hidden problems which would require a rule to be updated all the time, no one wants that.
11. Science is majority field, the position held by most people/scientist (which are in turn then automatically the smartest) is unarguably the truth. (Newton, Humboldt, Einstein, Daimler, Diesel, Currie, Oppenheimer, Keynes, Hayek, Tesla, Edison, Haber, Euler, Galileo Galilei, Leonardo da Vinci, Fermi and nowadays Zuse, Friedemann, Musk, are only spokespeople of the majority at their times.)
what is missing is
-actual quotes of scientific literature,
- a clear understanding on the current limitations of our scientific knowledge.
- understanding of basic needs, and the limitations if they are not covered for future generations.
- physics,
-basic understanding of transion needs and how a prosperous future society could look like for most of this planets population (animals and humans!).
- Geology needs for a high ressource low energy density future.
- basic understanding of money, currency and wealth.
=> how to solve fertilizer needs.
=> how to solve medical needs.
=> should people still live that long?
on the upside, if you are young, like to stick arround on streets, throw soup at art or skipped school because you where thought that you anyway are going to have a bad future, you will learn nothing from this book, while all your biases (and why life is useless) are going to be confirmed. So great read after all...
in case you want to take a more serious approach use smil books. (how the world really works, is delivering a much better viewpoint)
