Guardian’s climate assembly with George Monbiot, Mikaela Loach, Zack Polanski, and Emma Pinchbeck
In the last few years we’ve witnessed a dramatic shift away from the progress we need to avert climate disaster. A growing lobby of economic and political denial has been empowered by the Trump administration, which has declared war on climate progress, launching more dramatic anti-green moves in its first 100 days than in his entire first term. Around the world, a growing number of lawsuits are being used against governments over environmental laws and other regulations, while groups such as Greenpeace are being targeted too.
What are the forces driving the pushback against a greener world? How have policies and actions to protect the climate been so badly weaponised? And what can we do to counter this new kind of opposition to climate action?
