Climate disasters are increasingly impacting people worldwide. Wildfires, heat domes, droughts, famines, floods and extreme storms are more common and deadly: they drive increasing movement of people seeking relief from increasingly unbearable conditions. Melting glaciers are undermining major river systems and causing sea level rises that threaten low lying island nations and coastal cities worldwide. These conditions are worse for people in the global south and Indigenous people everywhere who are least responsible for the climate crisis. But they are threatening people everywhere.
The ecological crisis being driven by industrial, mining and agricultural pollution, as well as the expansion of urban land, is driving the sixth mass extinction in earth's history. 
Even as these interlinked environmental crises become more and more clear, business and political leaders are the monsters who are accelerating the practices that are driving them. These monsters have made sure that UN climate and biodiversity conferences fail.
How can we stop the assault on life as we know it on earth?
Is it too late for the slayers alliance of the revolutionary working class and Indigenous land defenders to turn the tide?
