UBC Okanagan乌鸦传媒檚 upcoming distinguished speaker Naomi Klein suggests we should forget everything we know about global warming. The truth, she says, is that it's not about carbon: it's about capitalism.

In her most provocative talk yet, Klein tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth.

Klein argues that society乌鸦传媒檚 addiction to profit and growth is the environment乌鸦传媒檚 biggest concern. Climate change, she says, is a wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms, and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. It乌鸦传媒檚 about changing the world.

Klein乌鸦传媒檚 presentation, part of the UBC Okanagan乌鸦传媒檚 Irving K. Barber School's Distinguished Speaker Series, takes place Thursday, Feb.18, 7 p.m., at the Kelowna Community Theatre, 1375 Water St
