DESCRIPTION:"What good are science and rational persuasion if no one is pa
 ying attention?"\; Sir Jonathon Porritt will explore this question in this
  unforgettable talk.\n\nA veteran climate campaigner\, advisor and writer\
 , Jonathon has served as chair of the Ecology Party (now Green Party)\, wa
 s a Director of Friends of the Earth and is a Senior Associate of the Univ
 ersity of Cambridge’s Centre for Sustainable Leadership (CISL).  Jonatha
 n has consistently highlighted the environmental crisis and its threat to 
 social and ecological justice - over 50 years of constantly looking for so
 lutions.\n\nHis newly published\, eleventh book\, 'Love\, Anger & Betrayal
 '\, visits the latest generation of climate activists and documents the ex
 periences of 26 insightful young people - his co-authors - who joined Just
  Stop Oil's Nonviolent Civil Resistance. The book reveals their passion fo
 r a just and sustainable transition away from our global economic and cult
 ural dependence on fossil fuels. But who\, with the political power\, is l
 istening?\n\nDon't miss this urgent conversation. Seats are limited. Reser

 signing with the book on sale. Proceeds will be used to support youth clim
 ate campaigns.\nIf you decide to buy online\, be mindful that some sales p
 oints are exploitative and pay lip service to environmental issues. Do not
  use Amazon\, but consider Hive or Voce (an independent bookshop based at 
 The Warehouse).\n\nwww.jonathonporritt.com\n\n'This is a deeply uncomforta
 ble but overwhelmingly necessary book' (Caroline Lucas\, former leader of 
 the Green Party and Green MP\, 2010-24)\n\n'Magnificent and crucial. This 
 book should be a lodestone for all we believe in.' (George Monbiot)\n
