LAST week, Britain recorded its hottest temperature on record. The heatwave exposed the fragility of our crumbling and ill-prepared infrastructure and showed that the urgent need to act is no longer a choice, it is a necessity.
The cost-of-living scandal and existential threat caused by the climate crisis have opened the eyes of many.
Millions are struggling to pay their bills and being forced into debt, as well as feeling the uncomfortable and unsustainable impacts of rising temperatures here and around the world.
Unless we act quickly, these levels of extreme heat will soon cease to be unprecedented. They will become common, a devastating norm that will obliterate farming, agriculture and livelihoods, most severely in the global South — countries who contribute least to the world’s CO2 emissions.
No longer can we distinguish between a set of individual crises — they are one and the same, interlocked, without action, destined to destroy our society, communities and planet.
The whole system, which creates billionaires and starves hundreds of millions, is the crisis. It can’t be resolved, it must be overcome and transformed.
This urgent call for action has led to the coming together of We All Want To Just Stop Oil, a coalition of activists from across the environmental and progressive labour movements, including the Peace & Justice Project and Fuel Poverty Action.
