Our planet is in ecological crisis: we are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction triggered and sustained by human activity. Scientists believe we may have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown. This is an emergency.

Before the sea levels finally rise, before more storms and hurricanes, intensified by global oceanic warming, slosh into Red Hook, before Nature is so badly wounded it is no longer safe for our children, shall not act? Shall not we speak up? Shall we rebel for Life?

In this public talk, climate speakers from Extinction Rebellion (XR) will share the latest climate science on where our planet is heading, discuss some of the current psychology around climate change, and offer solutions through the study of social movements.

Everyone is welcome and there will be time to ask questions and discuss afterwards. Entry is free.
