Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate...

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/06/24

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

An Enemy of the People

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/06/10

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

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/05/16

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

Polluters Left to Regulate Themselves

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/04/25

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

Destroying Lives and Destroying Fossil Fuels

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/04/20

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?

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/04/07

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

Speculating on How Fossil Fuel Executives Think

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/03/24

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

2024/03/10

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.

Mutual Aid in the Climate Crisis

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/02/25

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 climate crisis, we're going to need mutual aid societies more than ever before. For this episode, Jack Baldwin looks at one mutual aid society in Austin, Texas that tries to aid vulnerable local folks cope with extreme heat and extreme weather. You're going to

This Moment

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/02/15

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 qualified optimism after last week’s devastating episode.

Climate Disasters Right Now

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/02/04

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 crisis is--not years from now, not for the next century, not for our grandkids, but for us. Right now.

Worldwide Suppression of the Climate Movement

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/02/04

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 authorities in the global north just didn't want to crack down on this cause. Well, things have changed, and they've changed because climate activists have made enough progress and media spectacles to threaten fossil fuel profits. Now the state is bringing

Israel's war on Palestine is a climate crisis multiplier

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2024/01/07

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 as a climate activist and writer, and how she got particularly interested in militarism as a neglected dimension of global heating. (We took off for the holidays, but plenty of new content is coming for 2024. Stay tuned!).

Politicians Weaponize Climate Migration

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/12/14

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 in the U.K., reality is stranger than fiction, as parliament supports a bill to mass-deport migrants to Rwanda. We wish we were joking.

COP 28: Divide. Do Nothing. Deliver Lies and BS.

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/12/06

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 worry about afterwards—and why all that is not true.

We've Blown Past the Paris Climate Targets

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.

Mindful Rebellion and Ecopsychology with Adam Lobel

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/11/10

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 direction? Adam Lobel has written and practiced for many years on this topic, and he is our guest this week.

The Statehouse Standout

2023/10/31

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, including how they do it and their meeting with the governor's climate chief.

Che Clima Fa? (How's the Weather?) with Daniele Federico

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/10/23

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 politics, and what we might do individually and collectively. We talk about the rivers in Italy running low and what to do about this, his take on civil disobedience for climate, maintaining hope, and how to raise kids in the climate crisis.

Global Arson

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/10/15

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 work to cool the planet at all. First, we take a look at global leaders failing to agree, yet again, on measures to cut fossil fuels and we put that in context of what has come before. We introduce a new term that describes this situation. Here it is folks:
