Why
aren’t we talking/worrying/ panicking more about global warming?
DESCRIPTION
**RESCHEDULED DATE NOW FIXED FOR 25 SEPT 2018,
7.15PM**
In 2017/18, the Arctic had its warmest winter in
the last 40,000 years. The old frozen Arctic is gone, and will never come back
for centuries. We know this, but we do not seem to be talking about it, or what
it may mean for our future. Are we reacting by going into denial? What are the
facts? What are the implications? And what can and should we be doing, and
asking our politicians to do now?
Natalie Bennett was the
leader of the Green Party of England & Wales from 2012 to 2016. As a
scientist, journalist, activist and politician she has been deeply involved
with these questions over many years. She will share her insights with us, and
engage in discussion and debate.
Dr. Nicholas Smith from
the University of Westminster explores social representations of climate
change. He has also worked as post-doctural researcher with the Yale Project on
Climate Change Communication and the Liveable Cities Project.
Roger Hallam is a
climate activist and theorist and was an organic farmer for 20 years. He has
most recently been involved with campaigns such as Kings College Climate
Emergency, Stop Killing Londoners and Vote No Heathrow.
