COMING EVENTS IN COIN OXFORD CLIMATE CHANGE SPEAKER SERIES

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd

SLEEPWALKING INTO DISASTER: ARE WE IN A STATE OF DENIAL ABOUT CLIMATE
CHANGE?

George Monbiot, an award winning author and broadcaster, writes
regularly on climate change for his weekly column in The Guardian. He is
a highly acclaimed and inspirational public speaker.

George Marshall is Co-Executive Director of the Climate Outreach
Information Network. He is currently preparing a book on denial and
climate change

7-9pm. Doors open 6.30. The Holywell Music Rooms, Holywell St., Oxford.
Price £2/ £1 entry on the door

When most people accept the dangers of climate change why do they keep
flying for their holidays and buying ever larger cars? Why is it so hard
for us to face up to the realities of the threats? Will new fuels and
technologies really save us, or are they just a fantasy and further
evidence of our denial?
