IN MARCH this year, as a part of the environmental audit subcommittee on polar research’s inquiry into Britain’s involvement in the Arctic, I visited one of the most northernmost inhabited settlements in the world, Ny-Alesund, a scientific research station, located on the island of Spitsbergen, which is part of the Svalbard archipelago in Norway, where we examined glaciers and snowfall, and heard from scientists about the grim crisis facing our planet.
I came away from that visit more convinced than ever that the crisis, or even our hope of mitigating the emergency, requires socialist solutions — and that capitalism is incompatible with the future of our planet and species.
Climate change is an urgent global crisis that demands immediate and collective action of the kind that will never take place under a profit-driven system.
