Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm head of programming, Connor Boyle. Today we're bringing you a classic debate from 2019. Capitalism and climate change are understood to be inextricably intertwined. But could capitalism ultimately be the answer to climate change or is it driving us to disaster?
Intelligence Squared brought together four leading thinkers to debate this very question, arguing in favour of the motion to stop climate collapse, we must end capitalism were Guardian columnist George Monvio, an environmental lawyer for Hannah Yamin, and opposing were the chair of the Energy Transitions Committee, Adair Turner, and environmental campaigner, Tony Juniper. The debate was chaired by broadcaster Riddela Shah. Let's join Riddler now with more. Welcome everybody to tonight's Intelligence Square debate.
I'm not sure I've ever been involved with anything with such a long waiting list. Although there was that one time in A<unk>E. Anyway, tonight's motion is to stop climate collapse, we must end capitalism. It's a provocative and timely talking point, the discussion about climate change has at last become mainstream.
