Is Everything You’ve Been Told About Climate Change Wrong?
Are fossil fuels really the main cause of climate breakdown? Or is there an even bigger driver of environmental collapse? Scientist and Media Director Klaus Mitchell is the founder of Plant Based News and has spoken at COP 27. He has a 25 minute speech planned to reveal what he believes to be a major flaw in climate politics today. He wants to know what we think.
Klaus is joined by Indigo Rumbelow, a prominent ‘troublemaker’ in oil and gas activism. She’s less interested in which industry is most to blame and more interested in what we, as citizens can do to address the drivers of the climate crisis at a systemic level. How can we connect with the magnitude of the problem and comprehend our capacity to change the course of human history?
We will be delving into these questions and more in this SPACE4 discussion. We invite you to engage with these two amazing speakers and these lively debates within climate politics.
This is a SPACE4 discussion event where we invite speakers to discuss and debate topics around tech for good, progressive economics, and left-leaning politics.
Drinks and refreshments provided. We are grateful to be funded by the Disrupt Foundation.
