Planet Under Threat:

“The science on global warming is now incontrovertible: the climate is changing, man is helping to make that happen, and the damage could be irreversible.” -The Financial Times

Al Gore’s film, “An Inconveneint Truth” as well as recent studys by the UN and others have highlighted the potential disaster facing humanity.

They paint a terrifying picture of what is on the cards if a “business as usual” approach is maintianed. Increases in world temperatures of only 3 degrees celsius would threaten up to 50% of land species with extinction and the Amazon River could dry up. Sea levels could rise by three feet and the number and strength of tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons could continue to rise, creating hundreds of millions of refugees fleeing coastal regions due to flooding.

The main causes of climate change are carbon emissions, largely by industry, and deforistation of rain forests for profit.

There is a stark contrast between the enormous danger facing the planet and the tame solutions advocated by Gore and the UN . They advocate agreements like Kyoto but as scientists have pointed out it could take the equivalent of 30 Kyotos to deal with global warming.

Even the limited reductions proposed in Kyoto were reject by US big business as too harmful to profit. The problem is that the energy multinationals and the rest of big business contol the ‘purse strings’ of the economy. Their thirst for profit is why Kyoto failed. We believe that a global plan of action is needed to put the needs of the people and the planet before the profits of the billionaire capitalist elite.

By directing the worlds resources into renewable energy and public transport, climate change could be stopped in its tracks. In order to avoid environmental catastrophe we must break big business control over the economy and establish democratic public ownership of the the energy multinationals and the other key ‘purse strings’ of the economy.
