Recently it was announced that the Earth has warmed by 1 degree since the industrial revolution began, and that the rate of warming is rapidly increasing. We are already experiencing the effects of climate change, but the scientific consensus is that if we are to avoid runaway climate change, where the climate will begin to warm more and more rapidly, we must act now.
At this year's Marxism festival there were some great talks on climate change, but this one by Suzanne Jeffrey was particularly pertinent:
This was not Britain's ever climate single march, Although it was great. The largest was "The Wave", organised before the Copenhagen talks, six years ago. Then we took three coaches down from Derby. However there were a lot of other activities over the weekend, so it may be true that more people were on the streets, in the UK, than 6 years ago.
