In the last year and especially the last few months, human forced warming of the planet has ramped up impacts reaching dramatically new heights. The first three months of 2016 are far outside the global average temperatures for 2015, which was itself the hottest year on record. These realities are a glimpse of the ever-worsening conditions that awaits us under business-as-usual inaction.
Like never before, we need to build a movement that connections those fighting ecological destruction with those fighting social, economic and political injustices and growth imperatives of capitalism.
Join us at System Change Not Climate Change (SCNCC) to help remobilize the ecosocialist network!!
There will be a short presentation of some of the latest climate science and impacts, and discussion of the need for ecosocialist organizing and activism.
Guest Speaker: Natassa Romanou, Research Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York and Columbia University
Moderator: Brad Hornick, Phd Candidate Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada; active with System Change Not Climate Change (SCNCC)

SCNCC is a joint Canadian and US coalition of ecosocialists and fellow travellers united in the belief that capitalism is driving climate change and that a radical international grassroots movement can stop it. Green capitalism is a dead end. So are liberal parties like the US Democrats and the corporate friendly approach of most Green NGOs. SCNCC believes the climate justice movement will unite with the labour movement and other struggles for liberation to create an alternative to the upside down world shaped by fossil fuels and corporate power. Another world is possible, but we need more ecosocialists to make it happen.
