Antarctic Green Movement (Great White South)

The Green Revolution is the name of a political movement that began in the mid-1980s and had a significant impact on the Antarctica political life. When it was discovered that aerosol chemicals, among other factors, had torn a hole in the ozone layer over the South Pole, there was huge outcry among the Antarctica population. The fact that it was the pollution of the non-Antarctica nations that was causing this phenomenom greatly angered the Antarctic people.

The revolution led to Green politics took the forefront in mainstream politics on the continent. Existing Green parties experienced a boom in popularity, while new Green organizations came into existence almost overnight. Even after the 1989 Montreal Protocol, which banned the use of ozone-depleting chemicals worldwide, Green parties in Antarctica remained popular.

While the Green Revolution originally focused on environmentalism, other concerns such as social justice, consensus decision-making, and pacifism became inegrated in the political platform of many Green parties.
