When it comes to the Democratic presidential frontrunners position on one of the most pressing issues facing humanity, author and journalist Naomi Klein isnt mincing words: She says flat-out that she doesn't trust Hillary Clinton on addressing climate change.
"I don't trust her on climate at all," Klein told Al Jazeeras Mehdi Hasan, in an UpFront interview scheduled to air on Friday, March 18. "As secretary of state, when she had a huge megaphone to make this an issue, to show that she understands the connections between human security and climate, she didn't use the megaphone."
Klein, a fierce critic of corporate capitalism, also questioned the rationale behind Clintons White House bid:
The logic of her candidacy was because she had so much money [ ] which is why she is unbeatable look at how deep the pockets are there. But the irony is, its where that money comes from and the entanglement of the Clinton Foundation with so many corporations and so many governments, that is what makes her vulnerable. So on the one hand, its supposed to be what makes it inevitable, and on the other hand its what I think makes her a weak candidate.

(898 posts)There's no money to be made for the Clinton's friends in climate change.
My cat cares more for the environment and is more concerned about climate change than Hillary.
Anyway, it's only the #1 issue facing the world, an issue that could be catastrophic for future generations. But alas, no money for the Clinton's in it.
