Joe Biden pontificates at Glasgow about the U.S. now being the climate leader...while just days earlier he urges the world's largest energy producers to ramp up oil and natural gas production.

Glasgow is the latest of the annual charades of empty promises and pledges from the representatives of a system: capitalism-imperialism. A system whose heartbeat is the competitive drive for profit and more profit--which puts it at war with nature.

Some environmental groups have argued that our best and last hope is to pressure the Democrats to adopt Biden's "Build Back Better" program. Really? The most unrealistic thing--the definition of insanity--is to rely on and work within the confines of the system that has brought us to this brink of utter climate catastrophe.

Join us at this urgent forum:
--What is the underlying cause of this climate crisis?
--What is the kind of system change needed?
--What does it mean to act with urgency now to save the planet?
