Event Description

Join us for an evening of discussion about the questions raised in the new book The Burning Question with author Duncan Clark

Tuesday, June 25th, 2013 from 6.30 PM to 8.30 PM

Tickets: £6.00

Why are global carbon emissions not just rising but accelerating? And why aren't low-carbon power sources, increasing energy efficiency, voluntary carbon cuts and even slowing population growth having any effect? Based on the new book The Burning Question, Guardian journalist and UCL researcher Duncan Clark tackles these and other questions to shine a clarifying new light on the biggest issue of our era. He explains why our current approaches aren't working and what solving climate change will really take: leaving fossil fuel reserves worth tens of trillions of dollars in the ground. Can it be done? And who can do what to make it happen? Join us for an evening of conversation about the new book The Big Question with author Duncan Clark, facilitated by Andy Hix of Hix Media. After the event we invite you to stay on for drinks at the HUB until 9pm, before moving on to a nearby bar.
