Students fighting Climate Change

University of Sussex Students’ Union held the national gathering of students for Climate Change and the Student Movement this weekend. The meeting was really an achievement for a students’ union to hold such an event.

The speakers on the days where really great. I was totally impressed in how Sussex had managed to get a range of speakers on the left and climate change activists. We need to gather a radical range of student activities to make sure that we as a student movement make progress on this issue.

I was really taken by the way in which the speakers in the first session spoke about communicating the message well. David Wasdell provided an interested account of how we need to grasp the nettle. On some quick research David’s background and style is contested by some. I however am cautious to just take the word of the Internet, so often used by the right to discredit our comrades.

I do not think that the message should be discarded, other scientists at the conference seem to agree on the basic science and i think that although his back ground may be “dodgy” as some bloggers have tard him as having this should be put to one side.

The message was clear and agreed, we need action.
