About this Event
“We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it. We have had enough of immorality and the mockery of ethics, goodness, faith and honesty.”
- Pope Francis, Laudato Si: On care for our common home
“If governments are serious about the climate crisis, there can be no new investments in oil, gas and coal, from now – from this year.”
- Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (May 2021)
“I believe that what we do in the next 3 to 4 years will determine the future of humanity”
- Professor Sir David King, former UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser (2021)
Allowing the extraction of new oil and gas resources in the UK is obscene, a genocidal policy that will K*ll our children and condemn humanity to oblivion. It just has to stop.
There can be no new oil anywhere in the world, if governments are serious about climate. If we continue down our current path it will destroy families and communities. We will face the starvation and the slaughter of billions.
This choice is between rapid transition to a low energy, low carbon world and the horrors of social collapse. We can do it now, in an orderly manner - creating millions of proper skilled jobs and protecting the rights of workers in sunset industries.
Climate collapse will mean the end of workers rights, women's rights, all human rights. It is already the greatest injustice visited on the poor and the global south in human history. If you are not in resistance you are a bystander, betraying 200 years of struggle and the sacrifice of those that came before us. It is time to put everything aside, it’s either survival solidarity now or collective failure.
Come and hear more. Talk starts at 7.00pm. Pre-talk refreshments are available from 6.30pm.
