In the articles “Capitalism vs. the Climate” by Naomi Klein and “Global Warming's the New Math” by Bill McKibben, both authors discuss many issues and possible solutions to rebuild our economic structure and reduce carbon emissions. Climate change and the effects of global warming are just some of the issues that affect everyday life. Another concern that needs to be addressed is capitalism. The CEOs of large corporations who wield economic power control the root causes of these problems. Owners of large companies are financially stable and can do whatever they want and they don't get taxed enough for it. Naomi Klein's six points include; relaunching and reinventing the public sphere, remembering how to plan, reining in businesses, relocalizing production, there are three numbers we need to worry about. The first is 2 degrees Celsius, which is the agreement that the temperature should not exceed that number. The second number is 565, and that's the number of gigatons of carbon dioxide the atmosphere can hold and hopefully stay below 2 degrees Celsius in a warmer climate. The latest number is 2795, and it is the number of gigatons of fossil fuel still available and ready to be burned. Statistically speaking, the numbers are increasing at a faster rate than before, responds Bill McKibben, “Environmental efforts to address global warming have failed. The planet's carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase, especially as developing countries emulate Western industries” (5). Most of the population is aware of climate change and the negative impact it has on society, but people look the other way or lose interest in finding new solutions. Klein's article shows the reduction in global coverage of climate change; she states that “in 2007, the three major US networks published 147 articles on climate change. Not anymore. In 2010 the network published only 32 stories on climate change” (3). These numbers show that the general public is becoming less aware of climate-related concerns and that the media is instead showing material that gets more viewers, such as the latest fashion trends. The main theme presented by both Klein and McKibben is the effects of global capitalism which is the root of the problem that is causing our climate to change. This occurs when a political system, in which the country's trade and industry is controlled by private owners rather than the state. These owners are part of the 1% of the population who have the financial means to continue their operations, for example Bill McKibben states: "Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson told Wall Street analysts that the company plans to spend $37 billion a year through 2016 (about $100 million a day) looking for even more oil and gas” (8). CEOs who spend so much money looking for more fuel are usually blamed for climate change Tillerson is one of the richest and most reckless human beings, hungry for power and wealth. Klein's article states that “the airborne waste of industrial capitalism is causing global warming, with potentially catastrophic results” (11). It is clear that both authors say that wealth owners and capitalism are the problem that needs to be addressed. Another of Klein's six points is to end the cult of shopping. Klein states that “the ecological crisis has its roots in the excessive consumption of natural resources
