Across the world, temperatures and sea levels are rising. But the capitalists and their representatives remain nonchalant – more concerned about protecting their profits than the planet. To stop climate change, we need revolutionary change.
The latest IPCC climate report provides another dire warning of the catastrophe facing the planet. Yet all the capitalists have to offer is lip service and hollow promises. To stop climate change, we need to fight for revolutionary change.

Last Saturday saw a global day of action against climate change, organised to coincide with the COP26 conference in Glasgow. Marxist activists joined protests across Britain to say: Capitalism is killing the planet! We need a revolution!
The latest report from the IPCC offers a stark warning about the devastating impacts of climate change. Yet faced with this catastrophe, capitalist politicians remain unmoved. We must take matters into our own hands and fight for revolution.
