"This Changes Everything" Klein, The relationship between growth,
capitalism and climate denial.

Klein is a vicious ideological opponent of Israel; inter alia, she
is a proponent of the infamous BDS movement. She belongs to the
lunatic far-far-Left fringe.

There is a great deal of healthy writing out there to educate us
without ingesting the ejaculations of this ideological "merchant of
hate"

I don't accept every word in any of the books I listed but I
recommend them as presenting some good facts and some good ideas
worth thinking about

I am more interested in the ideas Klein presents on the specific
topic than her general demeanour or its perception, or what she
thinks of Israel. People we dislike can say good things and those we
like can say bad things. The great Linus Pauling (the only person to
get two Nobel Prizes in his own right) said a lot of crap about
vitamin C.

Expressing your loathing of the author of a book you haven't read is
not a useful book review. Anyway back to radishes.


1. My comment was not a "book review", useful or otherwise.


True

2. You are assuming I have not read it.



Well have you read it or not? If so what did you think of it? Not the
author, the book.


3. There is so much useful, FACT-BASED research out there on [topic]
that I see no reason to reward by my recommendation a writer on
Subject A who has taken sickeningly immoral positions on Subject B.
People are all of a piece. A links to B.

HB



Nonsense. You are stuck in the groove that you don't like the author's
position on some things therefore nothing they say is any value. Complete
non sequitur. There is no link at all between A and B.

In what way were her reflections on climate change not fact based?
