For more than twenty years, Naomi Klein has been the foremost chronicler of the economic war waged on both people and planet—and an unapologetic champion of a sweeping environmental agenda with justice at its center. In lucid, elegant dispatches from the frontlines of contemporary natural disaster, she pens surging, indispensable essays for a wide public: prescient advisories and dire warnings of what future awaits us if we refuse to act, as well as hopeful glimpses of a far better future. On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal gathers for the first time more than a decade of her impassioned writing, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of our immediate political and economic choices. These long-form essays show Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but as a spiritual and imaginative one, as well. 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. With reports spanning from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, to the annual smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, to post-hurricane Puerto Rico, to a Vatican attempting an unprecedented “ecological conversion,” Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis. 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. Review: Will enough people listen this time? - Thank the 'Great White North' for Naomi Klein and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; Klein for her succinct summaries of almost 10 years of environmental analysis in this gem of a brief book - - and Trudeau his very human response to change. Like Rachel Carson and 'Silent Spring', Klein will be remembered for explaining the attitudes, inactions and complacency that will shape our environment over the next century. Her book is a concise gem. Likewise, we can thank Trudeau for helping make it happen. Had her warnings been heeded over the past four years, he'd now be bouncing about boasting, "We're No. 1! We're No.!" - - instead of worrying about being "bounced" in his re-election bid. Let's start with Trudeau who, in 2017, told a cheering crowd of oil executives in Houston, "No country would find 173 billion barrels of oil in the ground and just leave it there." (If Trudeau loses his re-election bid, his outlook will seem benign compared to the likely fate of the Alberta tar sands in the hands of Conservative cretins.) Klein succinctly outlines the impact of such decisions. (However, on a personal basis, I think humans are a "super virus" that is ravaging our planet. But, I'm also an optimist. After a few billion deaths, the planet and enough humans will survive in a new mutual understanding of Mama Nature. Am I right? Well, consider the May 6 Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services report, based on 15,000 research papers. It predicts the extinction of a million species of animals, insects and plants by the end of the century. In other words, at the present of pollution and exploitation, almost everything but 'Indifference' is threatened.) It's time to listen. What is possible? Well, consider the impact of the 'Silent Spring' by Rachel Carson, the early disaster warning in 1962 that is becoming the reality cited by Klein. People always ignore the impact of pending disaster; it's why there have been 10,000 "civilizations" in the last 5,000 years and none have survived its forecast of demise. Carson's working title for the manuscript? 'Man Against the Earth'. Instead of Klein's "Green" response, it's likely people will use the tradition approach - - engineering. It will be called 'geo engineering', and if it's very expensive, 'Brilliant Engineering'. It may shield the planet with a near-space blanket of chemicals (or dust) as an umbrella to block sunlight. Brilliant engineering created our modern world, but its dark side is always the "unknown unknowns." Unk! Unk!! Just how does "life" deal with a "virus" such as humanity? If the past offers any guidance - - the first response will be a 'DDT' quickfix solution. It's nice to invent the future; it's something else to make it work. On that note: Where are the flying cars we were promised in 1945? We don't even have 'smart' cars yet. Granted, she's optimistic. It's the saving grace of her book, and a reason for all to trust in "just a bit of global disaster, nothing too serious." In engineering we trust, all else is rust, dust and bust. Remember the old saying from the 1930's Dust Bowl devastation? "In God We Trusted, In Kansas We Busted." Let's do it again? Review: Best analysis of the global political and economic system, and how t change it - An absolutely brilliant book. Comprehensive a analysis of how the issues of environmental justice, social and economic justice and racial justice can effectively be addressed through an integrated transformation of our social, political and economic system. An inspirational book based on encyclopedic knowledge, 360 analysis and a dedicated commitment - and hope for - a fairer and livable world for all. A call for justice and a call for action. An absolute must read. I have been gifting it to all my relatives ! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,772,466 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,447 in Political Commentary & Opinion #1,752 in Environmental Economics (Books) #1,832 in Environmental Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 799 Reviews | ## Images ![On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vWujLnayL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will enough people listen this time? *by T***N on October 9, 2019* Thank the 'Great White North' for Naomi Klein and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; Klein for her succinct summaries of almost 10 years of environmental analysis in this gem of a brief book - - and Trudeau his very human response to change.

I have been gifting it to all my relatives ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting *by M***O on April 18, 2020* This book is a series of articles from Naomi Klein which attempt to bring a greater awareness to the climate urgency in conforming our lifestyles to sobriety, commitment and hopefulness. Political action plays an important and she values this role more than the role on an individual. I understand, but billions of individuals decide to play a role, this human tsunami would change the world. The universal language which brings awareness is yet unknown. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114128866-on-fire-the-burning-case-for-a-green-new-deal](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114128866-on-fire-the-burning-case-for-a-green-new-deal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
