PLANET OIL – A MODERN ADDICTION

The Royal Geographical Society with IBG presents Professor Iain Stewart

Darlington Civic Theatre

Monday March 16

Professor Iain Stewart

One sixth of the modern global economy depends on hydrocarbon fuels. Without them the planet would grind to a halt. No single resource has ever changed so overwhelmingly the course of mankind’s and earth’s history. 

Iain looks back at the social and political consequences of society’s gradual addiction to fossil fuels and considers whether we can ever end our dependence.
