On Saturday 30th May, Extinction Rebellion Warwick District rebels met at midday to stand outside Shire Hall In Warwick asking the Government for a Citizens Assembly to decide our future together during the Covid-19 recovery, a recovery that must prioritise people and planet over profit. The protest took place in silence , at social distance ,with banners making points such as “people OR profit”, “life OR death”, “new roads OR new bike lanes” “Wind power or Fossel Fuels “etc.

For the last couple of years, I have been writing a book on Climate Change, I can see how the current situation, with the COVID 19, is similar to the effect climate change is going to have on our world in the future. I have written chapters on the possible future scenarios, COVID 19 has closed down our usual social and economic systems and climate change in the future will do the same thing.
