Duncan Clark, Journalist and co-author of The Burning Question: we can’t burn half the world’s oil coal and gas. So how do we quit? will speak following SCACC AGM at 6pm. All welcome.
Venue: Victoria Hall, Methodist Church, Norfolk St, Sheffield S1 2JB
About: Carbon emissions are still accelerating upwards, following an exponential curve that goes back centuries. Clean energy technologies don’t in themselves slow the rate of fossil fuel extraction.
The simple truth is that tackling global warming will mean persuading the world to abandon oil, coal, and gas reserves worth many trillions of dollars. The burning question is whether that can be done. What mix of politics, psychology, economics and technology might be required?
In Chapter 10 The Great Global Slumber – why are we not more fired up about climate change? Duncan deals with psychological and social barriers that hold us back. He does some analysis of the main stream media role. We are therefore inviting our local media to participate in the discussion and comment on their current position on climate change.
