How the profit motive is killing the planet

10:00am Saturday 17 August

About this session

Digging up fossil fuels and burning them not only produces enormous emissions, but over $1 trillion in profits per year. The whole capitalist system, not just in energy but in industry, transport, logistics and beyond, makes environmentally destructive decisions to suit profitability, not sustainability. Rather than dealing with the consequences of climate change humanely, the rich build bunkers, refugee camps and border walls. This session will unpack the capitalist roots of the unfolding environmental disaster and a socialist strategy for climate justice.
