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:

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.

When Insurance is Disappeared

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/09/29

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 and what it's doing, and we can barely contain our laughter about it.

Solutions and 'Solutions'

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/09/03

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 discussion of what might help.

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/08/29

This is our second installment on climate crisis solutions. Yeah, we bring you alot of crisis news, so we owe you some talk of solutions. Not that we're solving the climate crisis with these episodes, but we can talk about some steps that are moving in the right direction, or might be moving in the right direction, or that someone says is the right direction and on closer examination it's more complicated. That's what we're getting into again today.

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/07/01

In this episode, we discuss the wildfires that are raging across Canada. Currently, there are 480 active fires and only a little over a half are under control. Since smoke makes a mockery of political borders, states like New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota (to name a few) are choking and covered with ash. We speak with New York City resident Amy Hayes, who shares her experience living under orange, polluted, and climate-changed skies.

Extinction Rebellion activists planned a protest at the Gardner Museum in Boston, comparing the famous theft of its paintings to mass extinction. It did not go as planned.

2023/04/16

In this episode we are talking about the weather: the longest storm ever - a cyclone lasting 36 days. Mudslides faster than cars. Floods around the globe. And if you want to protest inaction on the climate crisis, then don't bother going to COP 28 in the UAE because protesting there will be illegal. Do you see the COP pattern yet?

Extinction Rebellion Radio ·

2023/02/25

We say 5 degrees, you say 3 degrees! Let's call the whole thing off!Why are some respected climate journalists spinning the yarn that there's now cause for optimism because (they say - no science backs this up) we're headed for a three rather than a five degree Celcius global temperature increase? We've got a few answers for you, and the movie Network provided at least one: "The world is a business, Mr. Beale. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel."
