Climate change requires kind of collective effort that British people made during Second World War – Anthony Seaton

We must all do our bit in the fight against climate change to avoid a global catastrophe

By Anthony Seaton 7th Apr 2024,

Climate change is the greatest threat to our way of life since 1939. Then
we responded when the Nazis threatened to invade. I recall the sirens,
burning buildings, queues, rationing, shared privations. Few remember this
today, and find it hard to contemplate the collective effort now required
to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels and change our dietary habits.
We can all do something but, since 50 per cent of the annual global carbon
footprint is attributable to the world’s wealthiest one per cent
(roughly, anyone earning over £50,000), this applies most to those who can
afford it.
