GUESTS

What can I do, Australia?

Mark Spenser - Founder of  the Climactic collective for podcasters:Episodes | Climactic . He chats with   Psychologist Felicity Jefferson about finding a "sit spot "  to connect with nature. She explores deep ecology to help people get active on climate. It's a gentle conversation about the shift in consciousness needed so we reconnect with nature rather than ravaging  it.

Don't Look Up

Tom Ballard and Emerald Moon discuss film Don't Look up. Watch Don't Look Up | Netflix Official Site

They enjoy the film's savaging of the media which blocks and trivialises  climate action. It is good to know the enemy but they worry about the film's portrayal of a  demoralised and disempowered  population. Our civilization is creating  the climate crisisis. Whether it is too big for us or not, we will never know if we think we have no agency.

Their regular podcast is SERIOUS DANGER

Serious Danger: 07: Don't Look Up At The Means-Tested RAT (feat. Qld Senate candidate Penny Allman-Payne) on Apple Podcasts

Crimes against nature, Capitalism and global heating

Jeff Sparrow - excerpts from his new book Crimes against Nature - ( Capitalism and global heating) Crimes Against Nature | Book | Scribe Publications

Quote:

"No matter the banner under which the war on the environment takes place, the perception of nature as entirely distinct and separate from human society reflects an historical disempowerment of the population, an original act of violence perpetrated on working people".

This takes us full circle to Felicity Jefferson and her efforts to cure this disempowerment.
