Climate war and the
billionaire class: Capitalism versus humanity in the fight to save the planet
This forum will
address the "climate war" that has begun and the ecosocialist
solutions needed to address it. More than ever, the line between rich and poor
is a line between survival and death, as inequality and climate change combine
to create new extremes of oppression. A handful of people live in obscene
luxury, while billions are condemned to permanent poverty and hunger – and rich
governments build fences, walls and concentration camps to keep the poor
away.
Speaker Ian
Angus is a long-time activist in socialist and environmental movements in
Canada and internationally.
