The Fossil Fuelled Monster and the Climate Failure of States

"Millions of school students, by striking to protest at government inaction on climate change, have brought popular rebellion back to the centre of international politics.

It is based on a talk I gave at the University of Durham's Centre for Culture and Ecology on 16 January 2020. Slide presentation from the talk here.
