Climate Activist Naomi Klein: ‘We’re Not Even Sure We Deserve to Survive’
newbusters.org ^ | 5/1/2019 | Julia A. Seymour

Anti-capitalist, and self-proclaimed “rabble-rousing leftist” climate activist Naomi Klein took liberal guilt complexes to a new level at a conference to compel a transformation in climate change media coverage.

Speaking on a panel about the Green New Deal at the Columbia Journalism Review event on April 30, Klein said what was holding people back from taking action on climate was a “sense of doom” and “self-loathing.”

“Having covered this for a really long time, uh, I know that one of the strongest forces we are up against is the sense of doom, inevitability, but also kind of a self-loathing,” Klein said. “Like we’ve been told for so long that all we are are selfish, that all we are are short-term thinkers. We get messages like the huge cover story in the New York Times Magazine that blames the whole thing on human nature.”

She continued, “So I really do think there is a deep feeling of ‘We’re are, we’re not even sure we deserve to survive.’”

No one is forcing self-loathing liberals to survive.

Just saying...

Another fool and tool who has learned how to profit from “Global Warming”.

She should just sell snake oil in little bottles.

She sounds like these self-hating population-control people. I always tell them, “You first. Show us that you’re not a hypocrite by taking out your family.” But no, sacrificing is always for other people.

It’s important to remember the left has been right about almost everything ... like ‘peak oil’... there’s no oil in our world now - and cars are a thing of the distant past... we heat our homes with wood when we can find a downed tree...

The ‘Population Bomb’ liberals warned us about came true too - more than half the people in the United States starved to death in the last three years...

The horror...

Oh, wait...

Humanity is at least as worthy of survival as cockroaches, and I’m pretty sure cockroaches will live through “climate change”.

Cockroaches have survived countless “climate changes” since about the time they first appeared on earth. Adaptation is the key element, and it works as well for humanity as it does for other creatures that have been around for millennia if not eons.

In the future we'll evolve more eyes to see how Global Warming can destroy us. We just need more eyes!

back in the eighties I knew several people who thought that the earth would be better without mankind.

Oddly they are all trust fund babies and they are still alive and in their seventies and eighties.

Does she need a few feet of rope? Is that what’s stopping her?

You forgot about the looming ice age in the 1970s, you also failed to mention our dying oceans (by mid 90’s due to acid rain), ditto our forests, lakes and streams...

Ain’t anything stopping her from suck starting a 12 gauge. Would at least stop the global warming coming from her blow hole.
