People who are rushing to Branson's defense need to read Klein's book. He has promised to redirect most, if not all of the profits he's accumulated from his most climate-intensive activities into renewable energy. Not only has he failed to do that, he's incentivized customers to use his airlines and fought environmental regulations tooth-and-nail. He is part of the problem.
Fair enough. But on the other hand, middle class consumerism has for many people in different nations just started. Young people have more travel miles than my whole family had in two generations, and the people at the Bioneers gathering may have used an airplane too. Branson is not the drug, he's the dealer, giving to people what they want - that's why he's rich. We all want and need cheap technology, mobility and education. But there's a story behind everything: from our food, to our clothing, to our homes, from our education to our work. We're not the better guys because we listen to good speeches or may have something to do with natural environment. We are at once perpetrators and also individuals who chose a certain lifestyle - in many regards completely ignoring our own ecological footsteps. If we want to change the world, we also need to change ourselves.
I respect her views, own all her books...ect. When it comes to Nuclear, we cant afford to ignore Nuclear as a valuable part of the energy of the future.

The people that are dismissing Klein's claims should actually read the book. Then do some research on your own. Facts are facts, and science is rarely lies.
We need to Challenge Big Money at its Root- which is the Structuring of the Monetary System. Corporate Dominance is implicit in the how the monetary system is structured.
Come to Blockadia and join the warriors on the front-lines, or grow the food to feed them, or write the letters and send the funds to support them... we need the breakers, the garden growers, and the organizers. Check out #BXE and #FERCus for actions in Washington, DC that will shut the bastards down.
I think it's a little unfair to call Branson a major polluter. Nobody has really come up with an alternative to air travel. And we all need to fly sometimes. It's not like the auto industry where alternatives have been available for decades.
+chavruta2000 She's saying that our need for flight does not compare with our need for survival. Our current needs, style of life and mentality has to change... is her point.
Had me interested until the part where you put down Richard Branson. Stay focused and positive. Richard is a great Inspiration. If we want to change the world, we also need to change ourselves.
nice talk .. feels 60yr to late... still no real movement... just like a technological savior, this is kind of a intellectual savior most of the world doesn't understand nevermind agree with. Action = Change the rest just seems like verbale masterbation. Until 100's of millions in first world are willing to lose their pension, retirement, home nothing will change unfortunately i don't see it happening until they lose their future before they fight for it.... with climate change that's to late. Honestly with 20-30yr lag in climate change effects depending on the youtube video I'm pretty sure after 1,000 + videos watched and a well developed sense of the science it's already to late. I mean i think of simple things i never hear mentioned like how greenland is melting under not just on top... so what happens when even 1/2 meter ocean rise goes into the gap's made by the melt under the ice... l 10 meter's ocean rise worth ice probably break off.. then that effect gets down to antarctica does same there which feeds back to greenland, and where already locked into that kind of ocean rise doesn't matter if can suck up the co2 unless you can also lower ocean levels video after video you don't see nasa even asking these what seem to me basic questions. just another 'Climate Change for Dummies" with no real development in the conversation.
I don't agree with Naomi's viewpoint . . . and taking Branson's quote out of context to make a point is a weak argument. We need to do everything (because we've not done enough). Branson's heart is in the right place. Bashing one solution only holds us back. Inventions are expensive to pursue . . . we need to pursue all angles and not bash any creative thinking . . .
JASCOBAR What's wrong with socialism other than the fact that the greedy capitalists cannot exploit it and make everyone's life a living hell except theirs? Give me regulated socialists utopia any day of the week.
+Tony Long Socialism is death and YOU THINK you'll have a nanny left gov that'll 'SAVE THE PLANET"? Seen PRC or the former USSR insofar as their ecological well being? Know what a central gov will do to control population? BOY OH BOY are you............. oh well why bother?
What a crock. I am a certified geologist, geophysicist and the science behind this movement to on the need to change the world and do away with capitalism is wrong.
selling another book i see - how many days months years or decades of on your knees in a forest have you provided? and how much of your book sales goes back to those which do that which you wouldn't let your nails get dirty bye bye . huckster. the over the top we are the world jingoism at the outset is SO off putting - you are zionist panacea.
gloiven anderson Code for I don't like your message but I haven't got the brains to think of a reasonable counter argument so I have to rip apart your character instead because that's what losers do.

Her book, This Changes Everything, is the most important book written in recent history. We should heed it's message, now!
One of the most POWERful presentations that I have seen / heard / watched on the subject of climate change.
How can we dispute this?
Thank you, Naomi.
Communism pollutes more than Capitalism.

Fantastic
Check out Mark Passio's presentation titled
" Tesla and Humanity's Missing Paradigm Shift". Very Important
Can we build structures in outer space to block sun light from getting to the earth.

Man, I really wonder what happened after this...
like the movie
Yes... indigenous people will change the world....these movements are winning?

+chavruta2000 She's saying that our need for flight does not compare with our need for survival. Our current needs, style of life and mentality has to change... is her point.
+Nikolas C I know what her point is, but she's kind of forcing this idea of the ironic metaphor in the picture
chavruta2000 Seems like a small discrepancy considering the actual argument, strange element to focus on.
+chavruta2000 and my guess is she's flown more than once in life . . .

+Milardo Wellness Center agreed!
Milardo Wellness Center great inspirations as Branson are ruining the planet for filling their own pockets and you are happily coping with it.

Of course she's right. But try convincing a Republican. They will never change their minds; they will never think differently about anything.
Just like people who think all republicans think the same. A shockingly similar concept.
My anti-primitivist sense is tingling... but she is a good speaker.
Yeah, when all else fails just go with your feelings.
If you happen to be Christian you should know that God told us to be good custodians of the planet. We are failing to do that.
Her influence is negligible...she keeps announcing these MOVEMENTS that never arrives!
Alberta just voted in the traditional scapegoat NDP to take the blame for the Conservative's many years and many sins there.
And six years later.... we have Trump. So much for winning. Maybe Trump represents a tipping point? We can hope.

I can see how Naomi Klein appeals to pseudo-intellectuals.
what a load
Why do all of you want to live in a regulated socialist utopia ?
JASCOBAR Because it beats the hell out of living on a dead planet.

JASCOBAR BECAUSE IT'S UTOPIA
