Naomi Klein on climate change inaction and elite minority control over major media outlets (2014): “What is really preventing us from putting out the fire that is threatening to burn down our collective house?... We are stuck because the actions that would give us the best chance of averting catastrophe – and would benefit the vast majority – are extremely threatening to an elite minority that has a stranglehold over our economy, our political process, and most of our major media outlets.” [1].
