Description
The HEP community's exciting plans for the physics we will do over the next decades stand in stark contrast to the reality of what the world will look like if action is not taken against disastrous climate change. No matter what we do within our own community, if our governments allow the fossil fuel era to continue, then within our lifetimes fundamental science will become a luxury that a desperate world cannot afford. In this talk, I will discuss the growing movement of scientists as climate and ecology activists, holding governments and corporations to account. Action is the antidote to despair, and by standing up for a liveable planet, scientists can ensure that curiosity remains possible for the next generation.
