In the articles “Capitalism vs. the Climate” by Naomi Klein and “Global Warming's the New Math” by Bill McKibben, both authors discuss many problems 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 affecting daily life. Another concern that needs to be addressed is that of capitalism. CEOs of large corporations who have economic power control the root causes of these problems. Large business owners are financially stable to do what they want and are not taxed enough for it. Naomi Klein's six points include: reviving and reinventing the public sphere, remembering how to plan, reining in businesses, reshoring production, there are three numbers we need to worry about. The first is 2 degrees Celsius, which is the agreement that the temperature will not exceed this figure. The second number is 565, and that is the number of gigatons of carbon dioxide that the atmosphere can hold and expect to remain in a climate 2 degrees Celsius warmer. The last number is 2,795, which represents the number of gigatons of fossil fuels still available and ready to be burned. Statistically speaking, the numbers are increasing at a faster rate than before, Bill McKibben responds: “Environmental efforts to combat global warming have failed. The world's carbon dioxide emissions continue to skyrocket, especially as developing countries imitate Western industries” (5). The majority of the population is aware of climate change and its negative impact on society, but they either look the other way or are disinterested in finding new solutions. Klein's article shows the reduction in global coverage of climate change: “In 2007, the three major US networks published 147 articles on climate change. Not anymore. In 2010, the network published only 32 articles on climate change” (3). These figures show that the general public is less and less aware of climate concerns and that the media instead broadcast content that attracts more viewers, such as the latest fashion trends. The main theme presented by Klein and McKibben is that the effects of global capitalism are the root of the problem that causes climate change. This occurs when a political system in which the country's commerce and industry is controlled by private owners rather than the state. These owners are part of the richest 1% of the population who have the financial means to continue their operations, for example Bill McKibben says: "Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson told Wall Street analysts that the company plans to spend $37 billion a year until 2016. (about $100 million a day) in search of 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 humans, hungry for power and wealth. Klein's article states that "the airborne waste of industrial capitalism is causing global warming, with potentially cataclysmic results" (11). It is clear that both authors are arguing that wealth owners and capitalism are at the heart of the problem that needs to be addressed. Another of Klein's six points is to end the cult of shopping. Klein states
