News from a World in Flux Ep. 3: Rishi backtracks, California vs. big oil, and the Dutch rebel!
Manage episode 379062669 series 2494023
Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.
EPISODE 3: Rishi backtracks, California vs. big oil, and the Dutch rebel!
Clare and Charlie discuss ultra-rich Rishi’s green about turn, the reaction from his own party and business and the culture war effect on politics in the UK. Comparing that with the governor of california who is bringing charges against fossil fuel companies for what he describes as over 70 years of deceit. If you need cheering up just look across to those Dutch rebels who have been blockading the interstate A12 road with thousands of peaceful people week in and week out. There have been some surprising reactions from the police (also in the mix with water cannons and pain grip techniques). Please follow Charlie on his walk: https://www.walkinginwater.com
