‘Leaving capitalist consumerism and market economics as the dominant stewards of the only known civilization in the universe will most likely seem, in retrospect, to have been a terrible idea.’
That’s the latest criticism of the established world order from Greta Thunberg, arguably the best-known face of the climate movement and perhaps of Gen Z politics writ large.
If capitalism created the crisis, as Thunberg suggests, then leaning on its mechanisms to fix the crisis is a flawed idea, she says.
Her takedown of capitalism features in a new book out Tuesday.
And the book suggests it’s not too late to act, with its alarming charts followed by a decidedly hopeful conclusion that’s a contrast to the alarm Thunberg usually exudes when she’s facing the United Nations or the World Economic Forum.
“Keeping emissions below 1 metric ton per person a year will not be a problem for the majority of the world’s population, since they will only need to make modest reductions — if any — in order to live inside the planetary boundaries,” Thunberg says. “In many cases, they would even be able to increase their emissions quite substantially.”

I wonder which commie asshole actually wrote the book.
Because that dumb chick sure as hell didn’t.
I can only assume that she is giving her book away for free...
Everyone knows that the best way to change the weather is to eat bugs.
The Swedish Meatball’s Cook America Cookbook. Listening to children with mental issues isn’t a good idea.
Greta’s use as a useful idiot is rapidly approaching the “sell by” date.
Communism and controlled markets are absolutely the worst idea to do anything.
Just visit any Communist country, or country with a planned economy. They are ALL filthy toxic waste sites.
Astonishingly, the simple, singular solution to each and every crisis that the media say that we have been having for the past several decades is Marxist totalitarianism, on a global scale. Nothing else will save us.
North Korea might be the only country on earth that truly and completely rejects capitalism and market economics.
I suggest that Ms. Thunberg spend oh, maybe a decade there to see how the North Koreans are tackling climate change. Then perhaps she could write a book about it.
Bend her over the knee and apply the belt. This is what happens when you “spare the rod”.
Socialism causes poverty and poverty causes lots of desperate people who can not afford to take good care of the land. It also causes incompetent leadership of industrial projects and gives us Cherynobal type results.
Correct. Socialism is the perfect solution to reduce the human population.
Is she going on a book tour to explain her book ? LOL
It’s a ebook right? She’s not dumb enough to print it on paper right?
Okay then. So Greta comes out as socialist. I guess we should not be too shocked. Implementing her plans seems to require a totalitarian system.
So the little darling uses capitalism to trash capitalism
Hope her books a flop

Who the heck writes overly hyperbole like this? Oh, that’s right, never mind, her radical liberal handlers do.
Exaggerate much scoldilocks?
Is her book free? No?
Hypocritical twit!
Probably gonna pay people to read it. But sadly I think too many non-thinking steeple will snap up her book and make her a millionaire if she isn’t one already. She hates capitalism, EXCEPT WHEN it comes to her.
