J.D. Vance--Is He Any Different?
20 JUL 2024 · The new Vice Presidential Republican nominee J.D. Vance favors taxing corporations, curtailing foreign wars, and clawing back executive pay. At times he sounds more like the running mate for Cornel West than for Donald Trump. So what is going on? Is the so-called New Right that he personifies genuinely different from the traditional Republican Party once in office? Or is Vance bought and paid for by corporate interests after all? Climate policy is the give-away, the proof of what is really going on.
Hotter than July: Climate Disasters of 2024
9 JUL 2024 · This episode runs through some of the climate disasters of early 2024 - one after another. It's not easy listening, but it's necessary listening. The news media is drastically under-reporting how dire things already are, right now, which is why so many people think climate change is a future disaster. In fact, it is a present disaster. This episode covers the opening months of 2024. Â
Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action, with Dana Fisher
24 JUN 2024 · Dana Fisher is Professor at American University and Non-Resident Fellow at the Brookings Institution, among other titles. She joins us to talk about her latest book, Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action. We talk about shocks to the climate, how that turns into activism, how that turns into policy, or how that fails to happen. We primarily wanted to talk with Dana about her book, but it’s also interesting how that book came to be, and she’s someone who started out close to the mainstream perspective about climate and has reached a position compatible with Extinction Rebellion. We speak with her about how that happened, too. If you order the book directly from Columbia University Press and use the code CUP20, you'll get 20% off the price!
An Enemy of the People
10 JUN 2024 · We’re talking this week with the three Extinction Rebellion activists who disrupted a live performance of An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen on Broadway. The parallels between that 19th century play and the 21st century climate crisis are so strong that critics had to call the theater to confirm that our protest was not part of the production. Matt, the host, less disruptively contributed to the same show in London. The message? There is No Theatre on a Dead Planet.
The Wretched of Mother Earth
16 MAY 2024 · How can we be still within ourselves in the face of climate catastrophe and yet active in the world at the same time? Mindful activists, including climate activists, always wrestle with some version of this question. Alycee Lane found her answer amid a deeply personal loss -- the death of her parents -- which inspired her to write The Wretched of Mother Earth: The Handbook for Living, Dying and Nonviolent Revolution in the Midst of Climate Change Catastrophe. The book weaves real data about the climate crisis with a fictional story of the future. In so doing, it challenges us to both sit with and face the prospect of climate-driven human extinction and stop – through radical nonviolence – the forces driving us to that unimaginable end.
The Wretched of Mother Earth is an ebook available on numerous platforms, including https://www.amazon.com/Wretched-Mother-Earth-Nonviolent-Catastrophe-ebook/dp/B07BHWRJ9K.
Polluters Left to Regulate Themselves
25 APR 2024 · We can't tackle the climate emergency without some level of government regulation. Those regulations don't work unless they are enforced. But enforcement isn't happening, not very widely anyway. To understand how and why environmental protections are not being enforced in both the U.S. and the U.K., we talk with Eleanor Godwin, the researcher who compiled and published this information. Eleanor gives clear data to help us see how the U.S. and U.K. leave polluters to regulate themselves. Environmental regulation has declined into helpless and almost meaningless inadequacy.
Destroying Lives and Destroying Fossil Fuels
20 APR 2024 · The Ukraine war is increasingly intersecting with climate. The U.S. has asked Ukraine to stop bombing Russian oil so gasoline prices can stay low. It has also stopped enforcing restrictions on Russian oil exports. Meanwhile the $60 billion aid package is languishing amid Congressional gridlock (as of this recording on April 18, 2024), and we get into real talk about why that is and what could be done about it.
Am I Too Old to Save the Planet?
7 APR 2024 · Welcome to a consciously multi-generational conversation with Lawrence MacDonald, author of the book Am I Too Old to Save the Planet? A Boomers Guide to Climate Action. We discuss how to plug into climate activism, and which forms of climate activism to plug into. It's pitched to older folks, but people who aren't seniors can use a lot of this advice as well. So what's the short answer to the question? No, elders! You are not too old for to save the planet! In fact, age can present some great advantages when it comes to climate activism.
Speculating on How Fossil Fuel Executives Think
24 MAR 2024 · How do fossil fuel executives think? They know their business is responsible for mass murder, and they work hard to cover it up. They know exactly what they are doing. So what's going on up there? We offer some informed speculation, plus recent climate news.
LGBT+ at Risk from the Climate Crisis
10 MAR 2024 · For this episode, we explore why LGBT+ folks are at higher risk of climate death than straight folks, the risks women face in disasters, and why we shouldnt ignore silly arguments denying climate change.
