[Anarchafeminists] Cafe event next Monday 9th: Extreme Energy and Geoengineering / Poetry Launch and Seasonal Party

[nickdrake]

Dear friends,

You are invited to the sixth in our series of meetings on the politics 
of technology.

Breaking the Frame 6: Extreme Energy and Geoengineering / Poetry Launch 
and Seasonal Party

The consequences of fracking and other forms of extreme energy for local 
environments and climate change seem obviously disastrous, so why do 
they persist? After 200 years of techno-capitalism, it is not just greed 
that has brought us to the brink of ecological disaster. But for 
technocrats, engineers and corporations, the solution is more of the 
same: technology will fix the problem, and let us continue business as 
usual. In this case, they think they can engineer the planet's climate 
through insane experiments like blasting sulphur particles into the 
upper atmosphere to reflect sunlight, or trying to change the chemistry 
of the oceans. The results of these technofixes may be much worse than 
climate change. How can we stop these irrational schemes and move to a 
sustainable energy supply?

Introductions from:

Frack-off - on fracking and other extreme energy technologies

Pete Deane (Biofuelwatch) - on geoengineering


At 6pm there will be a discussion group at Fairly Square on the politics 
of technology, to which all are welcome. For more info contact
