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.
Establishment politicians and press have suggested that the Ukraine conflict could spur a move away from fossil fuels. But instead, it has boosted the profits of the energy monopolies. Only socialist planning can combat the climate crisis.
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.
Under pressure to address the climate catastrophe, politicians and investors are cynically putting a green spin on their exploitative activities. In truth, capitalism is killing our planet. Only socialist planning can end this destruction.
