Naomi Klein is a veteran activist and environmentalist, and author of the new book, “On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal,” which argues that the dire urgency of the climate crisis is now a global five-alarm fire. Klein details the entrenched systems, social prejudices, and political patterns that have now fused into a singularly existential threat—and shows how those in power, on every level, have refused to act against impending peril. Klein joins Mother Jones editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery on stage for this special live (and lively) recording in Oakland, California.
