DYING
GREENHOUSE GAS LEVELS ARE SKYROCKETING
Industrial age began
GLOBAL TEMPERATURES ARE SKYROCKETING
Source: IPCC Special report Climate change and land use (2019)
HEATING IMPACTS ARE ALREADY BEING FELT GLOBALLY
2018: COP24
2015: Paris Agreement
2006: Stern Report
2001: US Renounces Kyoto
1997: Kyoto Protocol
1992 Rio Treaty
1990: First IPCC
WORLD GOVERNMENT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INEFFECTUAL
CLIMATE CHANGE, PESTICIDE USE AND HABITAT DESTRUCTION
ARE DESTROYING THE BIOSPHERE
FOSSIL FUEL USE CONTINUES TO SKYROCKET
CONSUMER CAPITALISM MARCHES RELENTLESSLY ONWARDS
WE ARE INHERITED A RICH AND BOUNTEOUS PLANET AND WE
ARE BEQUEATHING OUR DESCENDANTS A CHARRED HUSK
THIS DESTRUCTION IS IRREVERSIBLE
• Formed in 2018 as part of the social-change
movement Rising Up
• Declaration of Rebellion in October 2018
• London Bridges blockades propelled it into
public awareness
• Has grown rapidly since
EXTINCTION REBELLION
1. Tell the truth about the ecological
crisis and declare a climate emergency
2. Greenhouse gas net-zero & halting of
biodiversity loss by 2025
3. Citizens’ assembly on climate and
ecological justice
EXTINCTION REBELLION’S THREE DEMANDS
1. TELL THE TRUTH
This has to stop
YEAR
1600 1800 2000
280
300
320
340
360
380
400

440
460

500
CO2 ppm
(parts
per million)
We cannot delay
2. ACTION BY 2025
CAN’T WE JUST PLANT TREES?
Annual emissions = 42 billion tons
One tree removes one ton in 40 years
That’s 42 billion new trees EVERY YEAR
That’s 17 million hectares EVERY YEAR
(Wales is 2 million hectares)
And emissions are rising year on year
WE MUST URGENTLY DE-CARBONISE THE ECONOMY
● Can take the long view
● Free from corporate influences
● Truly representative of the population
● Trusted by the public
● Has been effective before (Ireland, Poland)
3. CITIZENS’ ASSEMBLY
“Why didn’t you stop this
when you still could?”
WHAT WILL WE TELL OUR GRANDCHILDREN?
