We will have to rebel, if we are to survive

AS the urgent calls from Extinction Rebellion, for everyone to wake up to climate catastrophe, make front-page news, I attend an impromptu talk by the movement’s co-founder, Roger Hallam.

It’s in a small park in Brighton, on a hot day, surrounded by Extinction Rebellion banners, and I am not quite sure what to expect. More people, for a start. Maybe everyone’s on the beach, enjoying global warming; while we still can.
