“If governments are serious about the climate crisis, there can be no new investments in oil, gas and coal, from now – from this year.” Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (May 2021)

“I believe that what we do in the next 3 to 4 years will determine the future of humanity.” Professor Sir David King, former UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser (2021)

Allowing the extraction of new oil and gas resources in the UK is obscene, a genocidal policy that will kill our children and condemn humanity to oblivion. It is already the greatest injustice visited on the people of the global south in human history. It just has to stop.

There can be no new oil exploration anywhere in the world, if governments are serious about climate (the IEA). If we continue down our current path it will destroy families and communities. We will face the starvation and the slaughter of billions.

The choice of rapid transition to a low energy, low carbon world or social collapse is now inevitable. We can transition now, in an orderly manner - creating millions of proper skilled jobs and protecting the rights of workers in sunset industries - or wait for the unavoidable collapse.

Faced with such a situation, people of all faiths and anyone concerned with the wellbeing of the Earth and its inhabitants must show courage and leadership, standing together for what is good and sacred. The alternative is collective failure.

This talk considers the climate crisis in detail and how we individually and collectively can respond.
