Podcasts about austerity ecology

Since the industrial revolution, the global north has seen massive economic growth. Yet that growth has been linked to increasing greenhouse gas emissions. We also live on a planet with finite resources, so it's hard to believe that we can continue to consume resources and release emissions and not sail right past our collective climate goals. That's why some people are starting to rethink perpetual economic growth as the best measure of a healthy economy. But what would an economy focused on metrics other than growth look like?   Guests:  Anuna De Wever, Climate and Social Justice activist Leigh Phillips, journalist and author of Austerity Ecology & The Collapse-Porn Addicts Marieke van Doorninck, Director, Kennisland, former Deputy Mayor, Amsterdam For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/audio/rethinking-economic-growth-wealth-and-health Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, he explains the attraction of “doomism,” how elite academics and environmental groups became estranged from the working class, the Tennessee Valley Authority as a “cathedral of American socialism, and why Karl Marx was “an energy maximalist.”

A deep dive into Bill Gates most recent book "How to prevent a Climate Disaster" with Leigh Phillips. Bill Gates has burst onto the climate scene and is generating a lot of press. Will he grow to monopolize the debate as he has with Global health where it has been said that “you can't cough, scratch your head or sneeze in public health without coming to the Gates Foundation.” In this entertaining read Gate's provides an accessible birds eye view of the problems and scale of climate change. He draws attention to hard to decarbonize sectors like Agriculture, Cement and Steel and introduces the concept of the "Green Premium" as a metric to identify decarbonization innovation priorities. Gates pours cold water on the common use of Moore's law as a model for rosey energy sector modelling. He points to the importance of marrying mitigation to adaptation in order for those most vulnerable to the effects of climate change to have the best chances to endure it. Leigh and I talk agriculture, energy, innovation and most importantly the politics including taxation that can enable the state investment in R&D and deployment that Gates calls for and yet has resisted many times as a member of the billionaire class. Leigh Phillips is a science writer and political journalist whose work has appeared in Nature, Science, the Guardian, and Jacobin. His areas of specialization include climate change, energy systems, the earth system, and microbiology. Leigh is the author of 2 books, The People's Republic of Walmart and Austerity Ecology.

Ecological Engineering Phd student Sam Francis joins us for this episode to talk about climate anxiety: the very real and "not just in your head" problem of millions of people fearing the onslaught of terror caused by climate change. Should we all just try our best to recycle, eat less meat and, if we can afford it, buy electric cars? Harriet and Sam explore whether a "central planning" government approach is the only way out while Max spirals into a depressive stupor and wonders if his therapist would understand.

Joining us this week to talk about the importance of placing science and the labor movement at the center of the movement for a Green New Deal is Leigh Phillips, author of Austerity Ecology and the Collapse-Porn Addicts (Zero, 2015) and The People's Republic of Wal-Mart, co-authored with Michal Rozworski (Verso, 2019). We discuss the scope and shape of a socialist Green New Deal, what kind of clean energy will be necessary, and critique the way that some progressives and socialists have gone about arguing for a green ecological movement. *** To support DPS Media and help enable our continued political work, become a patron at: http://www.patreon.com/deadpundits *** Leigh's latest writings on the topic can be found here: -"Planning the Earth System: A Call for a Global Democracy," https://thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-11-summer-2019/planning-the-earth-system -"The new, safer nuclear reactors that might help stop climate change," https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612940/the-new-safer-nuclear-reactors-that-might-help-stop-climate-change/ -"In Defense of Air Conditioning," https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/08/air-conditioning-climate-change-energy-pollution ------------------------ Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/deadpundits Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/deadpunditssociety Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/deadpunditssociety YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHahv2fM9eH2K4TzmsWl_Xg

In the sixth episode of the "Capitalism, Climate Change, and Culture" podcast series from GMU Cultural Studies, Richard Todd Stafford talks with Leigh Phillips, a science and politics writer who may be read in Nature, Scientific American, The Guardian, and Jacobin. He's the author of the books Austerity Ecology and the Collapse Porn Addicts: A Defense of Growth, Progress, Industry and Stuff and, with Michal Rozworski, The People's Republic of Walmart: How the World's Biggest Corporations are Laying the Foundations for Socialism. Stafford and Phillips focus on how Phillips' broader concerns intersect with the arguments he advanced in "Planning the Good Anthropocene," the theme of one of Phillips' widely-shared articles, which was developed further in the penultimate chapter of The People's Republic of Walmart and a lecture he gave at George Mason University. This podcast series is associated with George Mason University Cultural Studies' Colloquium Series. This year's series is called "Capitalism, Climate Change, and Culture." The industrial revolution liberated human beings from the cycles of nature — or so it once seemed. It turns out that greenhouse gases, a natural byproduct of coal- and petroleum-burning industries, lead to global warming, and that we are now locked into a long warming trend: a trend that will raise sea levels, enhance the occurrence of extreme weather events, and ultimately could threaten food supplies and other vital supports for modern civilization. This podcast series examines the cultural and political-economic dimensions of our ongoing, slow-moving climate crisis. We engage experts from a variety of fields and disciplines to ask questions about capitalism and the environment. How did we get into this mess? How bad is it? Where do we go from here? What sorts of steps might mitigate the damage — or perhaps someday reverse it? At stake are deep questions about humanity’s place in and relationship to nature — and what our systems of governance, production, and distribution might look like in the future. — Roger Lancaster, Colloquium OrganizerLearn more about the Cultural Studies Program at GMU: http://culturalstudies.gmu.eduLearn more about Leigh Phillips: https://leighphillips.wordpress.com/Music: Kevin MacLeod "Acid Trumpet," used under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. 

Rick & Gabe host a panel discussion on the state of the environmental movement and the widespread illusions within environmentalism concerning a return to nature as opposed to advancing to a higher level of civilization.

Dr. Bernstein is a long standing environmentalist and lecturer at the University of Southern California where she analyzes and addresses environmental problems and social justice issues. Leigh Phillips is the author of “Austerity Ecology and the Collapse Porn Addicts" and Dr. Parenti has won numerous journalistic awards and has received an Emmy nomination for the documentary Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi. His latest book is "Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence."

Joining me this week is Leigh Phillips, author of Austerity Ecology and Collapse Porn Addicts. We talk about global warming, science and socialism, the debate between the “anthropocene” vs. the “capitalocene,” socialist planning, Naomi Klein’s vision of ecosocialism, and much, much more. The B-side to this week will be dropping soon. We’ll be extending the conversation into a discussion of socialist planning. Don’t miss it!
