George Monbiot interview highlights the need for mass mobilisation to combat climate change. The 2014 Scottish Independence movement provides a good example of how to create a mass movement in the 21st century.
Leading environmental campaigner George Monbiot criticises the lamentable ineffectiveness of the current climate change movement, stating that the current mass movement needs to grow substantially in order to effect the change required. He maintains that governments and big business will not act unless we make it impossible for them to maintain the status quo and to do that we need to ''mobilise, mobilise, mobilise.'' He cites the Scottish Independence campaign of 2014 as an example of effective mobilisation and posits that Scotland could lead the way in combatting the climate crisis.
