Bill McKibben, the author of 20 books, as well as the founder of 350.org, is one of the most famous climate activists in America. In this episode, he discusses his latest book, The Flag, The Cross, and The Station Wagon, patriotism, why he wants “energy from heaven instead of energy from hell,” why he doesn't support the construction of new nuclear plants (“nuclear is slow and expensive”), and why climate change is the “first truly time-limited problem we've come up against.” (Recorded June 29, 2023.) 

Hey Boomers: When it comes to the climate crisis, are you the problem, the solution or both? In this episode Laura sits down with acclaimed author and environmental activist Bill McKibben and author Akaya Windwood to find out what's required from all of us to solve the climate crisis. McKibben was the founder of 350.org. He's the author of “The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon: A Graying American Looks Back at His Suburban Boyhood and Wonders What the Hell Happened.” Windwood is co-author of the newly-released book “Leading with Joy: Practices for Uncertain Times.” The two recently launched Third Act, a new environmental group inviting people over 60 to join the movement. The group embraces getting old, taking responsibility and throwing the full weight of the boomers generation at the climate crisis. Can cutting up our credit cards and organizing to withdraw funds from the big banks funding climate destruction make the impact we need? Explore the steps we can take now to ensure a livable and equitable future for all generations.“I kept hearing people say, ‘It's up to the next generation to solve these problems.' That's ignoble and impractical . . . They lack the structural power by themselves to make the changes that we need.” - Bill McKibben“I've been talking with a number of young folks over the years. Because I thought, ‘It's time for us to step back, right?' . . . They're actually saying, ‘No, that's not what we want you to do. We don't want you to step aside or step back. What we want you to do is step beside us.'” - Akaya WindwoodGuests:Bill McKibben, Environmentalist, Founder 350.org & Third ActAkaya Windwood, Author, Leading with Joy: Practices for Uncertain Times IN PERSON BENEFIT EVENT & LIVESTREAM...Join us October 16th, 2022, in Callicoon, New York,  where we've been filming the show for the past several years.  Laura will be in conversation with Bill McKibben live and with a performance by Taina Asili.   Details, including ticket information, are at LauraFlanders.orgThe event is hosted by Catskill Mountainkeeper, an organization empowering environmental justice communities throughout the region toward a 100% clean and just energy future.  The event is sponsored by Catskill Provisions Pollinator Spirits, a woman led company that donates a portion of their proceeds to support the Bees.   Again, it is a fundraiser!

Can a novel become a catalyst to help us address impending climate disaster? That's one question posed by the legendary Kim Stanley Robinson, in his best-selling novel The Ministry for the Future, which begins with millions of Indians dying from temperatures that send people cramming into lakes to cool off — where they literally poach to death. The book has been praised by everyone from Barack Obama to the Dalai Lama and seems to be turning even bureaucrats and bankers' heads. In his work, Robinson creates space for the possibility of change, possible worlds of equity, not only for survival but for justice and a liveable future. Call it speculative fiction, sci-fi, even “cli-fi”, The Ministry for the Future is a blueprint for transformation and pushes us to think not just about how close to the end we might be. If 20 million people in India died in a heatwave today would that be enough to force humanity to act? Join Laura and Stan for this conversation on how we can all imagine change and work to preserve our planet.  Music featured in the middle of the podcast:  “False Alarm” by Ryan Amador and Alixa Garcia, and produced by Brad Kemp, courtesy of the artist.“I'm seeing people responding to my novel, which is just a story, because they want that story. What I'm seeing now is that the 2020s will be a time of intense action and it will mean intense conflict, but good things can come of it.”“I think it's a problem being noticed more and more — that we value the present much more than future generations, who are sure to come if we don't wreck everything.”GUEST:  Kim Stanley Robinson, a multi-award winning, NY Times best selling Science-Fiction novelist; author of over 20 books, including the The Ministry for the Future, Mars trilogy, Aurora, New York 2140 and his most recent, The High Sierra: A Love Story;  named a Hero of the Environment by Time magazine.BECOME A MEMBER:  It's our members that have kept this show available to hundreds of thousands of listeners and viewers like you, but it takes a lot of funds to keep the show flowing nationally.

(This full conversation is from the episode 'Greenpeace at 50:  The Climate Crisis is a Fight Not an Argument' released April 18th, 2022) In this special feature for Earth Day, we focus on just one group: Greenpeace, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The environmental group has been in the headlines again, confronting Russian oil tankers in many ports. They've attracted lots of attention and scored many victories in the years they've been in existence. But it's not enough. The climate crisis is more urgent than ever, the world's not on track to get off fossil fuels in the time we need, and the most vulnerable are paying the heaviest price. In this special, we spend the program with the leadership of Greenpeace, including co-executive Directors, Annie Leonard and Ebony Twilley Martin, the first African American woman to head a "Big Green" group. The changes the group has made to embed racial justice and equity across their organization are going to take time, they admit, but without them, they'll never shift the power structure that's proven so intransigent up to this point. What's it going to take to shift power internally, avoid false solutions, and make the sort of transformation we need, as a nation, and as a group? They say there is no choice. The changes they're making now are essential. We can't bring about a greener, more equitable future with shortcuts.Music Featured in the Middle of the Podcast:  Humpback Mix of “Hope Bay ” by Dazzle Drums,  from the Climate Soundtrack project, produced by DJ's for Climate Action, where producers from around the world were asked to create original music from a ‘climate sample pack' of field recordings gathered during years of Greenpeace expeditions and activism across the globe.GuestsTefere Gebre, Chief Program Officer, Greenpeace USAAnnie Leonard, Co-Executive Director, Greenpeace USAEbony Twilley Martin, Co-Executive Director, Greenpeace USA Full episode notes including related articles and LFShow episodes to watch and/or listen to are posted at https://Patreon.com/theLFShow.

In what could be the most important Muse Mentors episode ever, author and climate activist Bill McKibben (who wrote The End of Nature one of the first books on global warming for the general public) talks about his childhood, teen-aged years as a journalist; and, before he even graduated from Harvard, an invitation from the late great editor William Shawn to write for The New Yorker Magazine. McKibben also discusses the impact the arts has in furthering the climate change movement, reflecting on his appearances on The Colbert Report, David Attenborough's recent magnum opus film "A Life on Our Planet", and a celebration of Richard Power's cri de coeur novel The Overstory. ere's a chance to hear Bill's origin story, and to discover how he has become and muse and mentor the world over!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=42335511)

Two major things happened this week: 1/ COP (Conference of the Parties - ie the only time countries meet to negotiate climate agreements) just wrapped up in Spain. 2/ Youth climate activist Greta Thunberg was named TIME Person of the Year. Today, we discuss something in between. Every year at COP, young activists continue to be at the front of the conversation. This episode, we meet a climate activist from Taiwan who’s attendance at a previous COP as a 21-year-old created a diplomatic stir. He also found a very unlikely ally, who also took him to Antarctica. Our youth activist is Liang-Yi Chang (張良伊). He co-founded the Taiwan Youth Climate Coalition in 2008/9. Today, he’s Asian Managing Director for the international environmental organization, 350.org. And this is his story. Support “Waste Not Why Not” on Patreon. Follow us on Twitter @wastenotpod.

For this episode we were in London at the Great Exhibition Road Festival with Chaitanya Kumar - a climate activist and senior policy advisor for the Green Alliance and previously with 350.org - on one of the hottest days of 2019. In this episode Chaitanya explains: why climate change is such a huge problem what the UK is doing to combat climate change what we as a society (rather than individuals) need to do to fight climate change what a positive (rather than ‘doom and gloom’) future could be like if we all act and answers questions including: apart from planting trees, what else can we do to use our land better and suck carbon out of the atmosphere? how will we heat our homes without gas boilers? is it true that if we don’t fix this problem the planet will go into the thermal runaway? why haven’t I heard these facts before?!

Three decades ago, writer Bill McKibben gave a warning about impacts from global warming in his book The End of Nature. Since then, little has been done to tackle the problem, which is growing. Weather events are worsening and communities are suffering from stronger storms, heat waves, wildfires, and more. “The world is now in violent and chaotic flux,” he says. To address this emergency, he suggests transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy and hitting the streets. His organization 350.org has held rallies around the world to bring attention to the climate crisis. With the Global Climate Strike just around the corner (September 20), McKibben gives a call to arms to protect our planet and humanity itself. The views and opinions of the podcast guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Aspen Institute.

Jo Dodds is becoming a widely-known figure in the climate change community. From being an active member of the community, to running for council as an independent, Jo had the best interests of her community at heart. But her work on climate change, her activism, her willingness to speak truth to power at this time of active climate denial in Australian politics, that came later. We learn what activated Jo, what drives her, and how she maintains her relentless pace. She's gone onto deliver keynotes and speeches, travelling with Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, on a recent tour of Australia. It was a real pleasure to have Jo on Climactic, and we can't wait to have her back.

Mary and Maeve are talking about money, money.   Fighting climate change might be a moral necessity but women are learning to hit vested interests where it hurts the most, in the pocket. They hear from South Africa where the anti-apartheid movement demonstrated the power of the boycott in the 80s before flipping the same tactics to the climate fight.  In the US, a wave of organised student campaigning on campuses is helping popularise the divestment movement but it was Standing Rock when indigenous women’s leadership took divestment into the big time, with billions of dollars now moving out of fossil fuels.
