Can Capitalism Save The Planet? Meeting TOMORROW!

Hello everyone,

This is just a brief reminder that tomorrow night we have our monthly branch meeting. We will be discussing the chilling question:
 

Can capitalism save the planet?

Last week it was announced that CO2 levels in the atmosphere had reached their highest ever, putting us well on the way to 2 degree warming and which will take thousands of years to reduce. At the same time it was announced that renewable energy had shown a huge increase over the last year, with capacity now overtaking coal for the the first time. So is capitalism averting the disaster it has created? Can it?

Our guest speaker will be Martin Empson, treasurer of the Campaign Against Climate Change Trade Union Group, and author of Land and Labour, Marxism and Ecology and most recently this excellent article in International Socialism: Food, Agriculture and Climate Change.

Thursday 3rd November
7 pm

West End Community Centre on Mackworth Road (next to Britannia Mill).
