I Dress Myself

In case of emergency

Today the Public Interest Research Centre will present the 'Climate Safety' report in Euston, London.

With Arctic sea ice melting away faster than anyone had predicted, the climate seems more sensitive than almost anyone thought, placing us in the middle of a climate emergency that cannot be ignored or brushed aside.’Climate Safety’ gives a clear and simple summary of the latest science, and shows how our current handling of the problem has exposed us to serious and growing risks.

The report gives a simple summary of the latest science, delivering a clear message that to have any chance of maintaining a safe climate, we must rapidly decarbonise our society, preserve global sinks, and address the problem with an unprecedented degree of seriousness.

Even with a commitment to 80% carbon cuts by 2050, “Climate Safety” warns that our current policy response does not match up to the scale of the challenge. They plan to discuss finding a way to get beyond “politics-as-usual” and achieve a full, emergency response.

You can pre-order a copy of the report from Amazon here.

Here's a picture of the T-shirts we printed for the event.
