Klein discusses the ideas of her new book, *This Changes Everything*. She argues that any real solution to the climate crisis will have to overturn four aggravating factors: privatization, deregulation, "austerity," and "free-trade" deals.
This week she focuses on popular movements that have built alternative, environmentally friendly utilities. Or at least have hindered environmentally destructive ones such as new pipelines.
Plus a song by David Rovics & commentary by KD.
Klein spoke in Montreal on September 16, 2014. Original recording courtesy of CKUT Community News, CKUT-FM, Montreal. Many thanks for it. I have lightly edited the original for radio broadcast (mostly removing hesitations and stumbles and adjusting volume levels). The uncut original recording is available on radio4all.net: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/77307 .
David Rovics song, "The Biggest Windmill," was recorded live in Boston by Chuck U. Rosina on January 27, 2013. Many thanks.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "table") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
Klein shows that the fight to save the climate and the fight for democracy are to a remarkable extent the same fight.
Introduction and other commentary by KD.
