Come to wickedproblems.earth to get the full-fat version! Exit music for this episode is “Oil Money” by Graham Barham. Because, well, it's a bit obvious this time, no?If insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result, global climate institutions like the annual COP meetings are definitionally loopier than Elon Musk deep down a K-hole.We spend our time arguing about how to count emissions in order to avoid the real conversation, which is a struggle between three asset classes: fossil fuel assets, ‘vulnerable' assets (like Small Island Developing States), and ‘green' assets. Pretending that struggle is not existential is the essence of climate diplomacy for the past 35 years.University of Toronto political scientist Professor Jessica Green thinks we're well past the point we can afford to continue pretending. Reading her forthcoming book, Existential Politics - Why Global Climate Institutions are Failing and How to Fix Them, was like waking from a dream. You should pre-order it now.She cuts through the nonsense to focus on the real dilemma. The only way through an “energy transition” is for fossil fuel companies, enormously powerful economic and political actors, to have $trillions in ‘stranded assets' and balance sheets that go up in smoke.Turkeys don't vote for Christmas (an idiomatic expression I'm pleased to be the first to share with Prof. Green). Yet the entire structure of global climate diplomacy is built on the fallacy that, somehow, oil majors and NOCs would ignore their self-interest and agree to die.As you'll hear in our conversation, Prof. Green doesn't pull punches and doesn't suffer fools. There's an impatience in her writing and her presentation that has a lot of James Dyke “fuck this noise can we please stop kidding ourselves” energy. At some points I wanted to reach for the hemlock, but thankfully she is as witty as she is sharp.I ask her how her ideas intersect or cut against other critiques of the mainstream climate conversation like Andreas Malm and Wim Carton in Overshoot, Rupert Read's take on transformative adaptation and Tadzio Mueller's anticipation of collapse.I think you'll enjoy the chat.

Andreas Malm, un autor i erudit suec, discuteix la seva investigació sobre les connexions entre la indústria dels combustibles fòssils i els moviments creixents d'extrema dreta al seu llibre "White Skin, Black Fuel: On the Danger of Fossil Fascism". Argumenta que el clima La crisi no només s'ha agreujat per les democràcies liberals, sinó que suposa un perill real d'aparició del feixisme a mesura que s'intensifica la resposta política. Malm subratlla que, tot i que la crisi climàtica no va ser causada principalment per forces d'extrema dreta, aquests grups poden tenir protagonisme mentre defensen els combustibles fòssils i els privilegis socials associats en temps de crisi. Assenyala que les arrels històriques del que ell anomena "feixisme fòssil" es remunten a l'imperialisme basat en el carbó i els règims feixistes del segle XX, destacant la rellevància aterridora d'aquestes ideologies en el clima polític actual, especialment als Estats Units. Malm subratlla la idea que les tàctiques de negació i obstrucció sense precedents de la indústria dels combustibles fòssils poden tenir conseqüències devastadores, especialment al Sud Global, on els efectes del canvi climàtic es senten més greument. Afirma que aquesta situació es podria agreujar si el feixisme s'assentés. La conversa revela les preocupacions sobre com les polítiques climàtiques sota els marcs liberals actuals sovint afavoreixen els negocis habituals, cosa que fa poc per combatre l'auge de les ideologies d'extrema dreta. La discussió toca el concepte de "sorgiment feixista", on els elements de la política feixista emergeixen abans que es produeixin crisis extremes, tal com es veu a diverses nacions europees. Malm subratlla que el precedent històric mostra que el feixisme no necessita el suport majoritari per assolir el poder, destacant la influència dels partits d'extrema dreta fins i tot amb bases de votants relativament reduïdes. El canvi de parts de la classe treballadora blanca cap a la política d'extrema dreta a Europa es reconeix com un tema complex, influenciat tant per les condicions econòmiques com per la fragmentació política. Malm planteja que qualsevol política climàtica eficaç ha d'enfrontar-se directament als interessos de les corporacions de combustibles fòssils per evitar un futur marcat pel feixisme fòssil. Adverteix contra el nacionalisme verd, suggerint que podria conduir a l'eco-feixisme si s'emmarca dins d'una agenda nacionalista, que podria soscavar els esforços ambientals genuïns. Abordar aquests problemes requereix una navegació acurada per evitar associacions amb interessos de combustibles fòssils. En última instància, Malm assenyala que les forces irracionals de la societat humana poden resistir l'acció climàtica racional, complicant la lluita contra la negació del clima i l'auge de les ideologies d'extrema dreta. Implica que abordar la dinàmica política que envolta els interessos dels combustibles fòssils és crucial per formar una política climàtica antifeixista capaç d'abordar els problemes de justícia ecològica i social.

Circular Metabolism Podcast

En quelques mots, le verrouillage souligne que la construction d'une infrastructure mais aussi des législations peuvent verrouiller nos habitudes de consommation et de modes de vies pour la durée de de vie cette infrastructure ou législations.Par exemple, lorsque nous construisons un incinérateur, et afin de le rentabiliser financièrement voire rentabiliser les ressources utilisées, nous allons continuer à l'utiliser pour quelques décennies. Et là se trouve le noeud du problème.Dès que nous construisons une infrastructure “nous” devenons obligés de l'utiliser pour la rentabiliser. Dans le cas de l'incinérateur, nous devons continuer à l'alimenter de déchets ménagers pour le rentabiliser alors que précisément les dernières directives européennes nous poussent à réduire la production de déchets.Je vous donne un autre exemple, la Chine ou l'Inde essaye de décarbonner leurs économies mais construisent de nombreuses centrales à charbon tous les ans. Encore une fois le problème est qu'une fois installées ces centrales vont tourner pendant 30 ans ou plus pour être rentabilisées.Donc pour résumer chaque nouvelle infrastructure installée qui linéarise ou rend plus carbonée notre économie le fera encore pour une des dizaines d'années à venir (coucou les Accords de Paris).L'enjeu principal d'un incinérateur, d'une centrale à charbon et d'une autoroute est que nos pratiques deviennent également verrouillées. Si une autoroute est construite, le message envoyé par l'Etat est que nous investissons à un type de mobilité dominant au profit des autres. Nous choisissons de donner des sous et des ressources à un mode de vie plutôt qu'un autre. Et si nous poussons la réflexion un peu plus loin, nous sacrifions notre précieux budget carbone et de ressources et venons piocher dans les réserves des voisins et des générations futures.Donc si nous savons que certaines infrastructures ne sont plus viables selon les Accords de Paris, ou au niveau des ressources requises ou au niveau de la justice sociale et écologiques alors que faire de celles-ci ? Il me semble qu'on arrive tout doucement sur la question du démantèlement et du sabotage.Si ces infrastructures sont trop polluantes et injustes, comment choisir collectivement quoi démanteler et comment le faire ? Qui va obliger les entreprises pétrolières, de charbon, de gaz naturel, les entreprises de construction, les entreprises de valorisation de déchets, d'arrêter d'installer de nouvelles infrastructures et de déconstruire les plus polluantes ?Est-ce la pression sociétale qui va se traduire en action politique ? Est-ce des outils de démocratie directe tels les référendums ? Est-ce de la désobéissance civile “semi”-violente ? Et à quoi cela va ressembler financièrement ? Est-ce que l'Etat va racheter ses infrastructures pour internaliser les coûts ? Est-ce que ces entreprises vont devoir internaliser les coûts et venir piocher dans leurs profits historiques ?Connaissant le niveau de violence et le nombre de morts que les inondations et les canicules entrainent à cause d'une série d'infrastructures polluantes, ne serait-il pas urgent de les démanteler voire les saboter comme mentionne Andreas Malm ? Comme la majorité d'entre nous, je ne suis pas fan de la violence mais il est important de comprendre les dynamiques présentes et futures. Les anciennes infrastructures nous verrouillent aujourd'hui à toujours plus polluer et toute nouvelle infrastructure va nous verrouiller vers de nouvelles pratiques et nouvelles consommations de ressources.A nous de rendre plus explicite ces mécanismes et surtout bien comprendre que nous devons simultanérment démanteler des infrastructures polluantes et construire des infrastructure non-polluantes. Il s'agit d'un bras de fer infrastructurel ainsi que des modèles de gouvernance associé qui va décider de notre futur.Allez à demain pour la lettre W ✌ Hébergé par Acast.

In 2024, we're set to break a major climate threshold for the first time: this will be the first calendar year in which global average temperatures breach the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold enshrined in the Paris Agreement. Importantly, while one year at this temperature doesn't mean all is lost, it does fire a profound warning shot over our faltering progress on mitigating and adapting to the climate crisis. While every fraction of a degree matters when it comes to the climate, the consensus is clear that above 1.5C the severity of impacts and risk of tipping points like mass coral reef die off or the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet become substantially higher. You might therefore expect this to be front page news. Yet compared with its gravity, it has barely made headlines. If, like us, you're wondering why — as it turns out, this was always part of the plan. In this episode, Adrienne and Andreas Malm break down the concept of “overshoot”, how it's tied up with the power of fossil fuels, and the future of climate politics, from ecofascism to geoengineering. Andreas Malm is an associate professor at Lund University, an activist and the author of several books, most recently Overshoot: How The World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown, co-written with Wim Carton.

That's the argument of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline,” a book by Andreas Malm calling for activist groups like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion to adopt radical tactics against the fossil fuel industry, including property damage. As COP27 enters its second week, greenwashing is rife, protest is limited, and fossil fuel emissions are still rising. After over a quarter-century of UN-sponsored talking, Malm argues it's time for people to take action into their own hands. In this episode: Andreas Malm, author of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” and professor at Lund University Episode credits: This episode was updated by Tamara Khandaker.

Global heating is a serious problem, but the question of just how urgently to fight it is a fraught one. Should 2C or 1.5C of warming be our limit? Or can we blow past these limits now, and come back down to them later, using technology to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere? There's […]

Wim Carton and Andreas Malm want a radical break to overcome the resignation to overshoot

Andreas Malm works in The Department of Human Geography at Lund University. He's a scholar of human ecology and environmental history and has written several books, including The Progress of this Storm, Fossil Capital, How to Blow Up A Pipeline and White Skin, Black Fuel. Wim Carton works in the same department as a human geographer. The main focus of his research is the relationship between society and nature and how society-nature relations are informed and changed by ecological crisis. Right now he's writing about culture, political economy and climate action, with a special emphasis on the promises of carbon removal. In this conversation we talk about their new book Overshoot (https://www.versobooks.com/en-ca/products/3131-overshoot), the first of two books about the state of the climate crisis and the question of whether cutting emissions from fossil fuels is a purely technical or primarily political challenge. The second book will be called The Long Heat, which is a title that gives a name to the era that we are now entering, where powerful state and corporate interests continue to block even meagre climate action, making loss, damage, suffering and, basically, mass sacrifice seem inevitable, even somehow normal. Now, after the election of Donald Trump to a second term as US president, it's clear that “the days of thinking that the US will ever be a reliable partner on addressing global warming are over,' in the words of New York Times reporter Coral Davenport. It's hard to maintain hope in this moment, and that question of hope is something that comes up a surprising amount in Overshoot. Malm and Carton are suspicious of the palliative rhetoric of hope in the climate movement and how it tends to inoculate more active feelings of anger, frustration or grief. That said, they are a lot more suspicious of the rhetoric of hopelessness presented by those who are resigned to 1.5, 2, or 3 degrees of global heating. Overshoot is based on the notion that, since there is no reasonable hope of cutting emissions in time, we have to plan, now, to hurtle past our climate targets and pray that technology, adaptation and a little bit of luck will let us, after we've blown our carbon budget, bring things back within the realm of safety. The deferral of the burden is clear, but Carton and Malm break it down in a way that explains more fully how overshoot allows fossil capital to endlessly defer stranding its assets, to completely avoid any real disruption. This means that, as Wim puts it, resource radicals and ecosocialists who see a massive transformation as the only way forward have to bet, now, on the possibility of “rupture” as a response to business as usual. As this episode drops, representatives at COP29 will be debating whether or not to pick up their dismal efforts where they left off at COP28, when fossil fuels were finally identified as the root cause of the climate crisis after decades of dicking around. This absurd situation is captured nicely by Wim: “nothing really happens and we're constantly adding more and more carbon to the atmosphere.” which means that, by definition, “we're actually… going to exceed these targets.” Whether we're ready for it or not blowing past the targets will come with extremely severe risks. Malm says the “only way to avoid the [situation] spinning completely out of control is to go after the drivers of these disasters, and that is the constant, ongoing investment and reinvestment in fossil fuels that is happening everywhere.”

In today's episode we talk with activist Sinan from the organization Climaximo about organizing during and against accelerating climate change. We start the conversation by describing some of the principle that our political work is based upon, in particular that the real risk of climate collapse is underrepresented and that the capitalist class will always resist any meaningful structural change. Then we talk about Climaximo, their mode of organizing and plans for the future. Sinan explains to us how they operate under the assumption of a state of climate emergency and their effort to frame climate change as a war waged by the capitalist class against the rest of the world. We finish with some book recommendations and a call to get organized. ===== Re(Sources): Climaximo web: https://www.climaximo.pt/ fb: /climaximopt ig: @climaximopt Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate, Simon & Schuster (2014) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21913812-this-changes-everything Rob Nixon, Slow Violence and The Environmentalism of The Poor, Harvard University Press (2010). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10429440-slow-violence-and-the-environmentalism-of-the-poor Bill McGuire, Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant's Guide, Icon Books (2022). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61336424-hothouse-earth Andreas Malm and the Zetkin Collective, White Skin, Black Fuel: On The Danger of Fossil Fascism, Verso (2021). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56708410-white-skin-black-fuel Artwork by Alis Balogh Music: Capitalism is Toxic song: https://youtu.be/cMPt6AA6NOY

Sarah McDowell (The SEO Mindset Podcast) and Natasha Willings (Limitless Learning education services) join Flixwatcher to review Sarah's choice How to Blow Up a Pipeline. How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022) is action-thriller inspired by the book of the same name by Andreas Malm that explores ideas on climate activism and sabotage to create change. The film is directed by Daniel (Cam - do check out our Fixwatcher episode on this!) Goldhaber and stars relatively unknown actors Ariela Barer, Kristine Froseth, Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner, Jake Weary, and Irene Bedard.   The film version follows a fictional group of eight people who are brought together to blow up an oil pipeline at two key locations. Their motivations range from being directly affected by the actions of the oil company or to be climate activists. They all feel that non-disruptive action is not sufficient and are prepared to risk prison to carry out the plan.   Recommendability scores for How to Blow Up a Pipeline were pretty strong, everyone agreed it was an important subject and opened up interesting conversations on climate activism. Scores were lower for repeat viewing but due to its punchy runtime and fast moving narrative it scores a very respectable 3.51 overall.

In 2015, 196 countries signed the Paris Agreement, a legally binding treaty with the goal of limiting global heating to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.Since then, climate planning has increasingly revolved around overshooting this target, with the hope that temperature levels can be brought back down in later decades. Temperature overshoot models are now the default, but also a cause of scientific concern, as the devastating impacts of crossing this threshold may not be reversible. In their new book Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown, Andreas Malm and Wim Carton study this risky approach to policy, and the economic interests that they theorise have led to it. Alasdair spoke to them both about the new book. Andreas Malm is Associate Professor of Human Ecology at Lund University, and the celebrated author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline, among other works.

In the first in a series of episodes on the UK general election, James Butler is joined by Ann Pettifor and Adrienne Buller to discuss climate policy and its apparent absence from the campaign so far. Several years ago the Labour Party was committed to a Green New Deal but has since backed away from that promise, while the Conservatives have decided that abandoning their own climate commitments is a vote-winner. Ann, Adrienne and James consider why political leadership and courage have disappeared on this issue, what environmental policy might look like with a Labour government, and how Chinese bicycles demonstrate the problem of international climate action.Read James's latest blog post on the election: https://lrb.me/butlersunakpodAnd more on climate in the LRB:Will Davies on why capitalism won't save the planet: https://lrb.me/daviesclimatepodJames Butler on Andreas Malm and ecoterrorism: https://lrb.me/butlerclimatepod2 Hosted on Acast.

In episode 73 of the Podcast for Social Research, recorded live following a screening of Daniel Goldhaber's cinematic adaptation of Andreas Malm's polemic against pacifism How to Blow Up a Pipeline, BISR faculty Isi Litke, RH Lossin, and Ajay Singh Chaudhary explore the aesthetic, historical, and thorny practical terrain of violence as activist strategy and political tool in the face of climate crisis. With Goldhaber's film as a jumping off point, they ask—and answer—questions like: how can cinema represent the complex harms wrought by climate devastation, in all their manifold temporalities, from freak accidents to slow disease to historical expropriations? How are solidarities built across ideological divides? What unites anti-colonial movements across the Global South with the struggles of subaltern groups in the Global North? And what underpins the belief in non-violence as the righteous mechanism for political change—and why is this wrong? Along the way, they touch on everything from the heist film (wherein the question is not whether one ought but whether one can pull it off), how comrades are not friends, workplace violence, radical flanks, Fanon's “stretched Marxism,” and much else besides.

Hadil describes the labyrinth of military checkpoints that she has to navigate within Palestine, and what she contemplates during those long, circuitous journey through the countryside. At the core of the conversation is the question of how Palestine can be free and how Hadil experiences everyday life in the context of Israel's illegal occupation. We also discuss the ways that Israel has codified its callous indifference to Palestinian life in laws that enshrine the expansion of settlements and Islamophobia as core parts of the Zionist nation-building project. October 7th and coordinated attack on Israel by the paramilitary wings of Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, is a globally misunderstood event. This is largely because of the layers of propaganda and political polarization that are screening the reality on the ground from view. That event, with its deplorable acts of violence, should be seen as a response to violent subjugation. As Hadil points out, Gaza is a concentration camp where human beings are denied rights and deemed disposable by an oppressive regime. The right to resist an occupying force is a human right, even if it is controversial to say so. Only 42 countries recognize the right to resist oppression. Since 2004, the African Union has identified the right to resist as a basic human right in the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. From everything I have learned, read and seen secondhand, those of us who have not experienced the violence of Israeli apartheid directly cannot legitimately condemn the right of Palestinians to resist this violence. Palestinians have, in the words of Andreas Malm, “tried every conceivable form of resistance. They've tried peaceful marches, in the Great March of Return in 2018, which only resulted in Israeli snipers killing 223 unarmed demonstrators, they've tried strikes and boycotts. They've tried writing poetry and posting on social media. They've tried throwing stones. They've tried diplomacy, including recognizing the state of Israel and giving it all it demands without getting anything back. They tried to go to court. They tried the international community endlessly and, yes, they have tried various forms of armed resistance.” So what are the people supposed to do? When the IDF announced that it was launching a ground invasion of Gaza, it ordered over a million people to evacuate, adding that they will “be able to return to Gaza City only when another announcement permitting it is made.” As Ian Parmeter told Al Jazeera, Israel “is under no illusions” that one million people can simply move within 24 hours. “It's simply a warning that they're coming in.” So now, one million Palestinians are faced with a petrifying situation. As Nebal Farsakh, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Red Crescent in Gaza City, expressed it: “Forget about food, forget about electricity, forget about fuel, the only concern now is just if you'll make it, if you're going to live.” This tyranny is completely unacceptable. We should all be ashamed that it has gone on this long and that the situation has become apocalyptic. Hadil offers an extraordinary message of hope and resilience by emphasizing that Palestinian people continue to create and connect while devoting themselves to the preservation of Palestinian culture in an extremely hostile world.

In this episode Max Ajl returns to the podcast. Max Ajl is an educator and a researcher and the author of A People's Green New Deal, which we highly recommend and had a previous discussion of back in 2021. He is also the associate editor of Agrarian South: Journal of Political Economy. We caught up with Max back in early August to talk about one of his recent pieces, from Agrarian South. The article is entitled “Theories of Political Ecology: Monopoly Capital Against People and the Planet.”  It's a very interesting article that covers a range of ostensibly left-wing approaches to ecology and the ecological crisis through a critical lens. Recording this conversation in the middle of summer there were a number of events and conversations we reference that folks will recall. This will be a two-part release. In this first portion we talk about the theory of ecologically unequal exchange, wheat and cereal grains as weapons of imperialism, bananas and fresh fruits in the first world, and get into some of Alj's critiques of different strains of political ecology. In particular in this episode Max talks about Andreas Malm's formulation of “Fossil Capitalism,” and also critically engages with the frameworks of eco-modernism and extractivism.  Ajl challenges the euro-centric variants of Marxism that dominate much of the first-world Marxist engagement with ecological questions, raising the importance of bringing anti-imperialist analysis, a world-system level understanding of capitalism and solidarity with national liberation movements into the theory and practice of ecological movements.  We will link the article we discuss in the show notes as well as some of the articles that Max mentions in the discussion.  In part two of this conversation which will come out in a few days, we will talk a little more about eco-modernism and get into degrowth as well.

Unless you're grifting for oil companies or are the kind of person who uses the phrase "mainstream media" unironically you understand that mankind has perpetrated significant and seemingly irreversible damage to our planet through intensive industrial agriculture, over population, over fishing, deforestation, pollution and the burning of fossil fuels which has triggered climate change, destroyed eco systems and is probably responsible for the bastard mosquito who tortured me as I tried to sleep last night.And, let's face it, whilst we could do something about it right now, albeit by taking painful, expensive and potentially arduous collective measures that could safeguard our existence and our children's existence against a bleak future, we almost certainly won't because it all sounds a bit too hard really and as for our children, well screw them amirite but also should we be doing something more about it?That's right, nothing dates a podcast more than the subject matter being topical so inspired by recent announcements of a major U-Turn in the UK governments net Zero goals, we commissioned 4 private jets to fly us to the man cave tonight, which is of course powered by burning orangutans so that we can bring you our thoughts on the environment, starting with a discussion of the Top 5 Eco-Warriors/Activists. Based on a non-fiction book by Andreas Malm, HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE (2022) explains exactly who, how and why a group of people might do exactly that in a gripping and authentic feeling environmental heist movie which steers refreshingly clear of glorifying its protagonists or any "have they gone too far" style moralising. Lukas Gage deserves better than being known for some clip of an overly privileged director thinking his  apartment is a bit shitty, and having his hoop licked clean on THE WHITE LOTUS, perhaps this ensemble thriller will give him his just reward. A moody Tangerine Dream inspired score adds extra panache. We finish things up with a nostalgic stroll across Wimbledon common as we take a look back at classic 70's stop-motion animation THE WOMBLES. Based on a series of books by Elisabeth Beresford and directed by the legendary Ivor Wood (not a pornstar), it's all well and good having a light years ahead of your time message about recycling but I bet they spread TB.

If you listen to this show, you probably already think that we need to slash human emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change. In many ways, our species has been engaged in a massive, uncontrolled geoengineering project that's heating up the planet to the point where wildlife extinction, massive floods and fires, and other tragedies are now simply routine. So far, humanity's geoengineering has largely been limited to heating the earth up. But what about purposeful geoengineering to actually cool the planet down? In other words, while we're waiting to get our act together on emissions, why not reflect some of the sunshine beaming onto our pale blue dot back into space, so we can shade ourselves and keep cooler in the meantime? The idea's been discussed in sci-fi literature for decades, and is even being researched by the federal government right now. (See here, here, and here, for example.) But one serial entrepreneur decided to take the earth's climate into his own hands and start his own geoengineering company, Make Sunsets. The idea is simple: When volcanoes erupt, they spew sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, reflecting a small amount of sunlight back into space, thereby tangibly cooling the planet temporarily. So, figured Make Sunsets CEO Luke Iseman, why not just put the sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere himself? So Luke bought a balloon on Amazon, filled it with helium to make it rise along with a couple grams of sulfur dioxide as payload, and he let it go. Fast forward a year later, and his launch has been condemned by many around the globe as irresponsibly hubristic, yet also praised by many who see such geoengineering as the best of a list of bad options. If he could do the same thing as the initial launch but orders of magnitude greater, he could meaningfully cool the planet down to prevent some of the worst effects of climate change, at least for a year or two, unless he was continually doing it.  As Luke says, “Every day that we don't inject sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere as responsibly as the state of the science will let us and as much as we can economically, species are needlessly going extinct and people are dying.” So far Make Sunsets is still a tiny startup: two employees with about a million dollars of venture capital raised, though from some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. They're already selling cooling credits—think carbon credits, but instead of removing CO2 from the atmosphere they're just cooling the planet down without actually altering CO2 levels. He's clear that sulfur dioxide injections into the stratosphere are a means of simply buying ourselves time to get our emissions under control, not a replacement for emissions reduction. So, see what you think. Is Make Sunsets a planetary savior or an well-intentioned but potentially apocalyptic idea? I really enjoyed talking with Luke and I think you'll enjoy listening. Discussed in this episode The controversy caused by Make Sunsets has been covered on CNN, NY Times, CNBC, The Guardian, Washington Post, and more.   Luke was inspired to start Make Sunsets after reading Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. Paul learned of Make Sunsets via the Wall Street Journal's podcast. Luke's initial launch caused the Mexican government to act against him. Luke recommends How to Blow up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm, The Creative Act by Rick Rubin, and The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. Paul mentions Snowpiercer, a story about a global winter unexpectedly befalling earth after a project similar to Make Sunsets. Our past episodes with philosopher Peter Singer and carbon capturer Graciela Chichilninsky. Interestingly, Peter Singer recently endorsed the idea of at least researching geoengineering. Luke maintains a list of companies he'd like to build, and one idea in particular he just can't get out of his head. More about Luke Iseman Luke Iseman is cofounder of Make Sunsets, a startup that launches reflective clouds to fight global warming. They have deployed over 3000 ton-years worth of cooling for paying customers, and their mission is to Cool Earth by 1C before 2030. Previously, Luke was founder of several hardware startups and Director of Hardware at Y Combinator.

Dirty Diapers Reveal How Germy Babies' Microbiomes Are In a new study, researchers picked through the dirty diapers of more than 600 infants. Those stinky diapers were a gold mine of info—they contained more than 10,000 virus species. And though it may sound terrifying, those viruses play a key role in babies' microbiomes. Guest host and SciFri producer Kathleen Davis talks with Katherine J. Wu, staff writer at The Atlantic about this story and other science news of the week. They chat about climate change's influence on the twilight zone, what critters can be found on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a surprising twist in the story of Mars' moon Deimos, the impressive sleeping habits of elephant seals, and why insects seem to flock to the light when it's dark out.   From Backyards To Barn Yards, The Surprising Science Of Chickens Raising backyard chickens continues to grow in popularity. The number of households in the United States with a backyard flock jumped from 8% in 2018 to 13% in 2020, according to a survey by the American Pet Products Association. But our fondness for chickens is hardly new. The relationship between humans and chickens goes back thousands of years, to when humans began domesticating the red junglefowl native to Southeast Asia. Guest host Sophie Bushwick has a compre(hen)sive conversation with Tove Danovich, freelance journalist and author of the new book Under the Henfluence: Inside the World of Backyard Chickens and the People Who Love Them, about how she was charmed by her own backyard chickens, the history of their domestication, and the surprising science of chicken intelligence.   Why Climate Activists Are Turning To Drastic Measures For Earth Day this year, people all over the world took to the streets to demand climate action. But as large and loud as these protests can be, they are often met with inaction. So activists are ramping up their efforts. Just within the last year, we've seen people chain themselves to banks, throw mashed potatoes at a Monet painting, shut down highways, and even glue themselves to museum walls, all in the name of climate justice. Those actions went viral and really seemed to strike a nerve. How did we end up here? Guest host Kathleen Davis talks with Dr. Dana Fisher, professor of sociology at the University of Maryland College Park, about the state of climate activism and the tactics at play.   Recasting The Climate Movement In ‘How To Blow Up A Pipeline' Climate activism is getting the big screen treatment this spring, with the new film “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” This action-packed heist film follows a group of young climate activists, disillusioned by the slow pace of climate action, who decide to take drastic action in the name of the climate. What follows is a tense ‘will they-won't they' story set in Texas oil country. The name of this movie comes from a 2021 nonfiction book by Andreas Malm. That book is a manifesto that argues that property damage and sabotage is the only way forward for climate activism. The movie features characters who struggle with this question, and whether there's a different way to accomplish their climate goals. Guest host Kathleen Davis speaks with Ariela Barer, who co-wrote, produced, and acted in the film.

DISCORD: discord.gg/4Fhbu6fSa6 LINKTREE: linktr.ee/AuxiliaryStatementsPodcast Well folks, we're back finishing off Fossil Capital. Is there any hope? How can we take power as a class? Are we going to get 4 degrees of warming? All very dire questions, so we distract ourselves by talking some more ecology. Maybe if we talk about it enough we can figure it all out....

Throughout history, no social movement has succeeded without utilizing property destruction as a tactic, and if the climate movement is to be effective it will have to do the same. So says Andreas Malm, author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline, on this week's episode of Zero. But how do you delineate between justifiable sabotage and unacceptable violence? And is there a risk that escalation backfires as a strategy? Read a transcript of this episode, here. Zero is a production of Bloomberg Green.

The Take
A radical antidote to climate despair

The Take

Fossil fuels are a time bomb, and humans are entitled to stop them. That is the argument of How to Blow Up a Pipeline, a book by Andreas Malm calling for activist groups like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion to adopt radical tactics against the fossil fuel industry, including property damage. As COP27 enters its second week, greenwashing is rife, protest is limited, and fossil fuel emissions are still rising. After over a quarter-century of UN-sponsored talking, Malm argues it is time for people to take action into their own hands. In this episode:  Andreas Malm, author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline and professor at Lund University Episode credits: This episode was produced by Alexandra Locke with Negin Owliaei, Chloe K. Li, and our host Halla Mohieddeen. It was fact-checked by Ruby Zaman. Our sound designer is Alex Roldan. Our engagement producers are Aya Elmileik and Adam Abou-Gad.
