What Can WW2 Teach Us About Fighting Climate Chaos?
If Andy Burnham becomes Britain's next prime minister, what could he do to tackle climate breakdown? According to journalist George Monbiot, he could take a few pointers from the Second World War. On Novara Live, Monbiot argues that the Labour government has "utterly and totally failed" to bring the public onboard with its climate policies – a far cry from the beginning of World War II, when the government “went to tremendous lengths” to sell the idea of a collective war effort.
