The title of our September 2026 talk and discussion is ‘Climate Change, Fossil Fuels and Conflict: Following the Power for 200 years’. The speaker is Dr John Grant.
This presentation is an overview of climate change and human impact starting with “society’s” shift to fossil fuels which “powered” the Industrial Revolution as the starting point. It will also tie this economic development to conflicts (notably World War 1 & 2) and how this underpinning Game Plan developed centuries ago and continues today. And, importantly, how the Green Transition offers a healthier more stable world.
Dr Grant is a Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University and academic adviser on SCC Green City Partnership Board working for a Zero Carbon Sheffield by 2030. He is also on the committee of the Environmental Hub organisation, the South Yorkshire Climate Alliance (SCA)...
