Leo Barasi, The Climate Majority, Aye Write 2018
18th March 2018 • 4:45PM – 5:45PM
Mitchell Library, North Street, Glasgow G3 7DN
The Climate Majority is about apathy, about those who don’t talk about global warming – the billions of people who have heard plenty about climate change and acknowledge there’s a problem, but who are just not engaged enough to stimulate the change required to stop it. Preventing extreme climate change is one of the hardest tasks humans have ever faced. Rising nationalism and the US withdrawal from the Paris agreement are blows to progress. But only by influencing those who have, so far, remained outside the debate will we have a chance of building a climate majority to back the measures required to avoid disaster. Chaired by Ruth Wishart.
