SUMMARY:Extreme Energy\, Geoengineering and climate change/Poetry launch an
 d seasonal party - December 9th 2013
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe consequences of fracking and other forms of extreme ene
 rgy for local environments and climate change seem obviously disastrous\, 
 so why do they persist? After 200 years of techno-capitalism\, it is not j
 ust greed that has brought us to the brink of ecological disaster. But for
  technocrats\, engineers and corporations\, the solution is more of the sa
 me: technology will fix the problem\, and let us continue business as usua
 l. In this case\, they think they can engineer the planet's climate throug
 h insane experiments like blasting sulphur particles into the upper atmosp
 here 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?\nIntroductions from:\n\n\n\n\n 	Frack-off - on fracking and other 
 extreme energy technologies\n 	Pete Deane (Biofuelwatch) - on geoengineeri
 ng\n\nAt 6pm there will be a discussion group at Fairly Square on the poli
 tics of technology\, to which all are welcome. For more info contact luddi
 tes200@yahoo.co.uk\, or visit www.breakingtheframe.org.uk Facebook: Breaki
 ng the Frame.\n\nThe second half of the event will be a seasonal party\, i
 ncluding the launch of Luddite's 200 long-awaited poetry anthology\, 'Word
 s in Praise of Ned Ludd'. Pete the Temp will perform some of his and other
 s' Luddite poetry.\n\n
