This is a Tyne Tees production from some time ago, this means so much to me and all of my family, I still and always will get a lump in my throat when a watch.

Mongan’s War on Climate Change and Waste.
My name is Steve Mongan and you’re probably wondering why do I have such a dramatic title to my Youtube Channel ? I suppose using the word “War” could be construed as aggressive !! well let me spend a few moments to give you a little history.
Some of you may have recently watched on Youtube a TV documentary made 30 years ago called “ Mongans War”
That was about my Dad going back to Dunkirk 50 years after he was lifted from the beaches along with 300,000 other men.
Well In the thirty years since then I have spent a career in Energy and how not to waste it, how to create power and heat from the very essence of the waste we have generated in our society and in particular Plastics.
And now with the impending climate crisis we need a kind of global “revolution” to avert this.
So continuing from my Dad’s Mongan’s War I thought it would be an apt title for this series of talks and demonstrations outlining the need for War on climate change.
The opening scenes of my Youtube Channel are filmed on the Banks of the Tyne where so much of the Industrial Revolution happened in the past, great technical giants such as Stephenson, Armstrong, Parsons, Palmer and Swan
Yes these great industrialists were instrumental in the industrial revolution and the worldwide benefits they brought to mankind but look at us 200 years later!
Our society is witnessing the malignant effects of this industrialization : the despoliation of the natural world, Pollution, Climate Change and a crisis looming of proportions greater than a world war.
I know a lot of you will have listened to many scientists, engineers and inventors who have broadcast the need to avert this crisis , I have given many presentations and talks on the subject and have presented — by invitation to The House of Lords and The United Nations. — But it’s the everyday person who needs to understand not only the “need” and “change” but the how and why. The following series will begin with Climate Change but the presentation of facts etc will be done in a “Climate Change Made- Easy” style that I hope all of you will understand and dare I say enjoy.
It will continue over subjects relating to the lifestyle we all live , the growth of our population as we head towards 7 billion people in our alarming population growth. The effects of the growth in food production to the spiraling waste in particular Plastics.
I will talk in detail of how we can all make a difference, how these solutions can be made to work.
I feel so Passionate about the subject and I’m an advocate and admirer of anyone who brings focus to global masses. Recently we have all seen a 16 year old girl from Sweden have a global impact on the crisis of Climate Change —- her name is Greta Thunberg—I have the greatest admiration for this young girl and her honest portrayal of where the world is heading without a revolution. As I speak her book “ No one is too small to make a difference” is number one in the UK best seller of paperback non- fiction.
Let me take a moment to quote you a small extract from Greta’s book.
“ Every single person counts
Just like every single emission counts
Every single kilo
So please treat the climate crisis like the acute crisis it is and
give us a future.”
This young girl has my greatest admiration, I am so grateful for her efforts and her voice. Before I leave this section on Greta – I would like to restate her closing words as she addressed the Houses of Parliament in London on April 19th 2019.
“ I hope my microphone was on.
I hope you could all hear me”
How good was that !
Well that’s it for now – I do hope you have enjoyed the intro, more importantly the you’re looking forward to my next talk which will show you all about Climate Change and how its happened.
I want to finish with a note for clarity: I am not a “scaremonger”. I do have solutions and some of the answers which will appear in my later talks, so finally to quote Sir David Attenborough who recently said on TV
“Time is running out – but there is hope”
Goodbye for now – I look forward to talking to you all soon,
