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
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
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 s
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 answe
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 protectio
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
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 ac
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
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.
People are always helping one another cope with troubles and shortages and disasters. When that assistance is organized as a collaborative exchange of help, it's sometimes called a "mutual aid society." As we increasingly get walloped by the cl
What point in history would you live in if you could choose any time? Martin Luther King’s answer was right now, ‘This moment.’ Alycee gives the same answer. With one guest from Italy and another from the United States, we offer a touch of qual
Let's look back at the climate disasters of the last six months or so of 2023. There were many, and most of them were never covered in the U.S. mass media. Running through these disasters rapid fire will hopefully show how dire the climate cris
As recently as 2021, climate activists in the U.S. and U.K. received very lenient treatment from police and judges, even when they did civil disobedience. Why? Probably because visible climate activists are mostly white. But it also seemed like
The war on Palestine is both a humanitarian disaster and a climate disaster. Every shell, every tank, every rocket burns emissions. And the humanitarian scale is beyond easy comprehension. Our entry point into this topic is Alycee's trajectory
From the United States to Tunisia, politicians are using climate migration to get votes. The Dutch election in November 2023 that saw a long-time Prime Minister make way for a far-right anti-Muslim radical was fundamentally about migration. And
COP 28, meeting right now, is the global fossil fuel conference masquerading as a climate change solution. We're talking about how COP 28 will of course solve all the world's problems and set the climate on a perfect trajectory with nothing to
We have passed the Paris climate targets. Entire months at a time are now more than 1.5C above historic norms. So are world leaders taking emergency measures? Nope. For this episode, we talk about rising temperatures and climate inaction.
Ecopsychology pursues mental and spiritual connectedness to earth, which is sorely lacking in our hyper digital capitalist world. This is well and good, but seems non-political. How can ecopsychology turn in a radical, political, decolonial dir
The Statehouse Standout is a continuous protest in which climate activists stand outside the Massachusetts Capitol building during all business hours demanding no new fossil fuel infrastructure. We visit the scene and hear from three organizers
This week our special guest comes all the way from Italy. Daniele Federico quit his corporate communications career to dedicate himself full time to climate awareness. He shares with us some insights into how to talk about climate, Italian poli
In this episode, we look at a wacky plan that the White House is contemplating to inject sulfates into the upper atmosphere to cool the planet. As we're going to explain, nobody knows what side effects that might have or whether it would even w
The Degas 2 are two climate protesters who are facing severe charges and possibly many years in prison for smearing paint on the glass casing around a famous sculpture by Edgar Degas in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. We talk ab
Insurance might not seem like a sexy topic, but when you suddenly can't get any insurance because of...you know...global heating, it really gets your attention. We're going to talk about underground climate change. We'll look at the U.S. Senate
Extinction Rebellion Boston is mounting an entire week of climate activism and community-building starting September 20. Even if you're not near Boston, or if you're finding this after the events have taken place, this is a model for ways you m
There is plenty of talk about what to do to help the climate. But some of these measures are going to be more helpful than others. This is the third of an informal three-episode series in which we try to break up the doom and gloom with some di
