Join Professor Dave Waltham for an eco-friendly Busting the Myths highlight at 7pm for 7.30pm on Thursday, 14th November, at Marlborough Town Hall
Your local Citizens’ Climate Lobby was formed in 1981 and has 59 members, men and women, Do we really need drastic action to curb fossil fuel emissions? If so, how can it be done – what will it cost – and which of us will bear those costs? Will business be badly damaged? Will the poorest (as so often) suffer most?
The local branch of Citizens’ Climate Lobby UK urges you to join us to address and debate the key existential question of our time, headed by a speaker long acquainted with the fossil fuel industry, and its place in the energy economy.
We’ve been assailed with conflicting and disturbing accounts of the climate/ecological crisis. On May 1st, this year the Telegraph (in line with the government of the day) claimed that The Net Zero Leviathan is Crushing the Economy.
Days later, the Guardian urged new efforts to meet climate targets to avoid a ‘semi-dystopian future’ of heat-waves, wildfires, floods and famine’, quoting hundreds of the world’s leading scientists from the authoritative IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).
How can we know what to think? And how can we believe that we individuals have any real role to play?
Last May over 100 people joined the Lobby at the Town Hall for a showing of the film 2040 – a heartening, fact-based vision of the astonishing and under-appreciated possibilities for climate safety, human wellbeing, and environmental regeneration in a post-carbon world.
Professor Dave Waltham, now writing the Carbon Literacy Curriculum for Royal Holloway University, is passionately concerned to convey a clarifying and heartening account of the policies needed, and how we can support them.
