Militarism and Climate Change

Phil has co-authored London After the Bomb, and Crisis Over Cruise. He was one of the organisers of the London Nuclear Warfare Tribunal (1983). More recently, he has contributed to or written many articles about the Trident nuclear system, Chernobyl, Zaporizhizhia, UK military strategy and the malign influence of corporations and the military upon science and technology.

Phil will discuss how the huge expenditures on bloated militaries are both a barrier to reducing climate damaging emissions and themselves create huge climate emissions and, in the nuclear case, ecocidal risk.

He will highlight how the fossil fuel and military industrial complexes are driven by similar corrupt forces inimical to our collective interests.
