George Monbiot & Khalid Mahmood debate Climate Camp
From BBC’s newsnight, 13th August 2007. Monbiot commits himself to DA whilst a Labour stooge waffles. Kirsty Wark sits on the fence. It’s an interesting interview if you aim to be frustrated by the usual strawmen or if you want to once again see clearly why Monbiot is the best living activist. He really has done his homework, and yes, unlike most, he does have a science degree.
I think it’s appalling how that MP can say that terrorism is more immediate than climate change. Terrorism obviously has to be dealt with now but climate change affects everybody and it certainly is just as immediate as any terrorist threat. I hate the way that the MP and presenter just redirect the argument into terrorism, aren’t they suppose to be talking about the climate camp? Direct, active protest and terrorism are two completely different things.
