The rhetoric of “hopium” is failing as ecological overshoot deepens. “Hopium”, a colloquial term that is a blend of the words “hope” and “opium” (as though it were a drug), represents a faith in technological and market-based solutions to address our multiple reinforcing crises, despite evidence to the contrary. We're living in the long defeat and we must own and confront it with courage. Award-winning essayist, Pamela Swanigan, joins us. Highlights include: How children's literature is full of reverence for nature but children's literature analysis done in the academy is dominated by the perspective of human exceptionalism; The role that Judeo-Christianity has played in promoting the worldview of human exceptionalism while destroying the millennia-old biophilic and animistic belief systems; Why Pamela was astonished that she won the Berggruen Prize Essay Competition given the magical thinking of human exceptionalism and techno-solutionism embodied by the attendees; Social reformer and US Commissioner for the Bureau of Indian Affairs John Collier's concept of the 'long hope'- that indigenous cultures and their nature-sacralizing beliefs could help humanity survive after the collapse of techno-industrial civilization; Why the delusional and pervasive rhetoric of hope among social change advocates (such as Jane Goodall and David Suzuki) defies evidence, and why we must embrace JRR Tolkien's concept of the 'long defeat' in order to courageously fight against ecological destruction and social injustice.

The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.

Beckler kicks off Bear Week, and talks about David Suzuki and songs about kidnapping.
Today, we're bringing you a special gift from our friends at IDEAS, “David Suzuki's Survival Guide: A Retrospective.” We think you'll very quickly understand why it made us think of the Charles Dickens classic, and our own past, present and planet yet-to-be.Listen to more IDEAS podcast episodes here: https://link.mgln.ai/yzu3fa
Questions, suggestions, or feedback? Send us a message!Our guest today is Janine Benyus, who is the Co-founder of Biomimicry 3.8. She is a biologist, innovation consultant, and author of six books, including Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. Since the book's 1997 release, Janine's work as a global thought leader has evolved the practice of biomimicry from a meme to a movement, inspiring clients and innovators around the world to learn from the genius of nature.She has personally introduced millions to biomimicry through two TED talks, hundreds of conference keynote presentations, and a dozen documentaries such as Biomimicry, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio's Tree Media, 11th Hour, Harmony, and The Nature of Things with David Suzuki, which aired in 71 countries.In 1998, Janine co-founded the Biomimicry Guild with Dr. Dayna Baumeister. That consultancy morphed into Biomimicry 3.8, a B-Corp social enterprise providing biomimicry consulting services to clients like Nike, General Electric, Herman Miller, Procter and Gamble, and Levi's.In 2006, Janine co-founded The Biomimicry Institute, a non-profit institute to embed biomimicry in formal education and informal spaces such as museums and nature centers. Over 11,000 members are now part of the Biomimicry Global Network, working to practice, teach, and spread biomimicry in their region. In 2008, the institute launched AskNature.org, an award-winning bio-inspiration site for inventors.Janine believes that the more people learn from nature's mentors, the more they'll want to protect them. This is why she writes, speaks, and communicates so prolifically about biomimicry.We talk about:Learning from biological systemsWaging war against nature rather than allyingHow profitable emulating nature can beFitting form to functionHow ant colonies inspire mobile phone networksThe dependence of the agricultural system on oilPhotosynthetic Reaction CentreNature is the best chemistAI helping the detective work of biologistsLet's get inspired by nature!Web: www.whereshallwemeet.xyzTwitter: @whrshallwemeetInstagram: @whrshallwemeet

John Seed is a 78-year-old world-renowned Australian environmental educator, author, activist, artist and filmmaker. A recipient of the Australian government's Order of Australia medal, John is the founder and director of the Rainforest Information Centre and, since 1979, has been involved in 100s of campaigns and education initiatives that have protected remaining rainforests and helped humanity rethink our relationship with nature. John and his family first came to Australia as Jewish refugees who experienced incredible hardship and devastating loss during the Nazi occupation of Hungary. They went on to create a new life in Australia, where John's mother, Judy Cassab, went on to become one of Australia's most celebrated painters. John also has an artistic flair, and he and his mother had an exhibition together during the final years of Judy's life. John has had a fascinating and adventurous path in life.After a short career in computing with IBM, John joined the hippy trail, travelling overland through Afghanistan and onto India, where he studied meditation before arriving back in Australia and co-founding an intentional community in Bundjalung Country, and the Northern Rivers ‘rainbow region' of Northern NSW at Bodhi farm, which still exists to this day. It was here that John found his true calling, or it found him. As you're about to hear, at the time, outside of Indigenous culture, there was little respect or appreciation for the value of rainforests, and they were being destroyed at an alarming rate. John joined locals in blockading the site at Terania Creek and said the experience at the time was as if nature was speaking to him. The protesters succeeded, and John went on to found the Rainforest Information Centre, a pioneering global organisation that has been instrumental in rainforest protection and conversation throughout Latin America, Cambodia, India, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and the South Pacific. His work also helped initiate the creation of the US Rainforest Action Network.John has written and lectured extensively on the concept of deep ecology. With Joanna Macy, Pat Fleming and Professor Arne Naess, he wrote "Thinking Like a Mountain - Towards a Council of All Beings" which has been translated into 12 languages including Korean and Tibetan.In 1987 he co-produced a television documentary, "EARTH FIRST!" for Australian national television about the struggle for the rainforests. In 2003 he spearheaded RIC's endangered species campaign and made the film "On The Brink" with David Attenborough, David Suzuki, Olivia Newton-John and Jack Thompson. You can find that via the Rainforest Information Centre online, as well as lots of other great videos, including one of John in conversation with Ram Dass in 1992.In 2021 – after an arduous and prolonged struggle with life-threatening cancer, John got back in the saddle and jumped straight into action. Some of his campaigning at this time helped lead to Ecuador's Constitutional Court ruling that mining in the Los Cedros Protected Forest is a violation of the constitutional rights of nature and is therefore prohibited in the forest. This has created an important national and worldwide precedent.More recently, John was involved in the Rising Tide blockade of coal ships leaving the world's Largest Coal Port in Newcastle, NSW. 3000 protesters gathered, and John was one of over 100 people in Kayaks arrested as part of a collective stand against Australia's continued investment in fossil fuels. I should add that John is also an accomplished songwriter and has produced 5 albums of environmental songs, as well as numerous other environmental films.

David Suzuki spent decades of his life sounding the alarm about environmental destruction, as host of the CBC TV show The Nature of Things and other radio programs. When he looks at the world today, he's frustrated. “We haven't done a goddamn thing about the issues being raised,” he tells Jesse.He also talks about the failures of Capitalism, the people who have tried to take him down, and his concerns with the state of discourse today.This conversation was recorded in September, 2023Sponsors: Douglas, CommunautoIf you value this podcast, support us!

Jill Heinerth is one of the most accomplished aquanauts in the world. With over 8500 dives, she is hired by some of the most notable names in film and television, from David Suzuki, to James Cameron. But her life isn't all about shooting epic underwater scenes for the big screen, a lot of her life is doing research in underwater caves, looking at organisms that few have ever seen before. She does this as part of scientific research that leads to groundbreaking medical discoveries, with applications for AIDS, breast cancer, and even COVID.

During my visit to Canada I had the honour of meeting renowned scientist, broadcaster and activist David Suzuki as well as his daughter and fellow-activist Severn Cullis-Suzuki. So I asked them a bunch of questions that are relevant to Australia.This is the companion to our Honest Government Ad about CanadaYou can also watch the video of this episode here on our YouTube channel - which we recommend
Air of course is all around us. We move through it without noticing it. This episode from 2010 is called The Last Breath. We follow a single breath in its journey around the world, explore how an ice-free Arctic will change life on Earth, and David Suzuki sits down with Margaret Atwood for an entertaining chat conversation about breath, life, and death.
Death is a part of life…and as such, it is all around us. In this episode of Suzuki's Survival Guide: A Retrospective from 2010, David Suzuki takes an unflinching look at death and decomposition, at the way cells die to make way for new life within us, and at what happens to a carrot after we harvest it and eat it. All to unlock the cycle in which the things we are made of are never wasted.
Water is essential for our survival; it's an integral part of our bodies. It is also at the heart of some of the most profound mysteries of existence. How deep is the ocean, and what is it really like in the darkest reaches? What are whales doing when they sing? And why do we have so much trouble taking care of this precious and crucial resource?
The field of economics is limited by how it measures success. It doesn't take into account the things that sustain life that can't clearly be measured. The earth and its atmosphere provide infinite services free of charge — the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil that sustains countless lifeforms on earth. It also doesn't include the impact of community bonds, relationships, and love. This episode explores new ways to think of growth and society's holistic well-being.
Never before in the four billion-year history of life on Earth has a single species been able to alter the geological, biological and physical features of the planet. As David Suzuki puts it, "We have evolved from naked ape to superspecies." This first episode from his 1999 IDEAS series, The Naked Ape, explores the impact of human culture on the natural world.
"Growth is what we've come to live for. It has been the inspiration for our political and economic systems," says David Suzuki in his 1989 series, It's a Matter of Survival. In this episode, Suzuki explores the clash between ecological and economic objectives and how it came to pass that the environment is seen as an infinite sinkhole as the quest for profit and growth dominates political and business interests.
"If we don't move now, it will be a disaster," said Lucien Bouchard in 1989 when he was the Conservative Environment Minister under Brian Mulrouney. He was addressing the need to cut back on fossil fuels in the face of climate change, saying the survival of our species is at stake. In an attempt to understand the conditions that created the climate emergency, David Suzuki talks to Bouchard and others, including Stephen Lewis, Ralph Nader and historian Graeme Decarie.
This week's guest is award-winning broadcaster Ziya Tong. She is best known as the anchor of Daily Planet, Discovery Channel's flagship science program. Her book The Reality Bubble won the Lane Anderson Prize for best science writing in Canada and was shortlisted for the RBC Taylor Prize. The book has been translated into multiple languages, and has earned praise from luminaries including Naomi Klein and David Suzuki who calls Tong's book, “required reading for all who care about what we are doing to the planet.” Tong also hosted the CBC's Emmy-nominated series ZeD, PBS's national prime-time series, Wired Science, and worked as a correspondent for NOVA scienceNOW alongside Neil deGrasse Tyson on PBS. Ziya served as the Vice Chair of the World Wildlife Fund Canada and is now on the board of directors of WWF International. She is currently working on a new documentary called Plastic People, looking at the frightening impact of microplastics on human health.

In his 1989 CBC Radio series, It's a Matter of Survival, David Suzuki and other scientists look ahead 50 years into the future to paint a picture of what the world could be like if nothing is done to curb the human impact on climate change. The series galvanized the environmental movement in Canada, with more than 14,000 listeners writing letters of support.

Today, stories surrounding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are dominating the headlines. First, the entire board and CEO of the Trudeau Foundation has resigned, apparently because of fallout from Chinese election interference. Plus, a pair of Prairie premiers are pushing back against the PM's latest power grab — attempting to seize control over natural resources from the provinces. And finally, Trudeau boasted about how "his friend David Suzuki" warned him that failure to address climate issues would cause the world end, so that's why he insists on using the carbon tax to "change mindsets" on the environment, regardless of Canadians suffering through a cost-of-living crisis.
Host Piya Chattopadhyay speaks with David Suzuki about his his legacy and future as he leaves The Nature of Things, NPR's Ari Shapiro shares stories from his journalism journey, WHO special advisor Dr. Peter Singer talks about the public health agency's greatest challenges as it turns 75, Dina Nayeri ruminates on the nature of belief, and a Montreal cathedral finds a second life for its century-old church bells.

Political Analyst Jaime Rodriguez visited with us to discuss the Democratic Party and much more. David Suzuki points out that we reward those who harm us. Republicans strategically want us to look away from corporate bad deeds. A message about Chris Rock's Netflix skit Selective Outrage. Republicans are doing what they do as they attempt to offset blame for Norfolk Southern East Palestine derailment and environmental disaster on the government. Sadly, the mainstream media is falling for it by giving the argument plausibility. The reason we continue to have our environment placed in peril, our healthcare remains an immoral, inhumane mess, and our social safety net a disaster of inconsistencies is that we don't reward excellence but gangsters. I've restarted our series, A Better Human Story with Andrew Schmookler, which explores much of this. I watched Chris Rock on Netflix at 1 AM this morning while spinning. It was clear that the Will Smith slap at the Oscars has affected Chris Rock's comedy. He was not as naturally funny as he normally is, IMHO. He went really hard on Jada Pinkett Smith as well. I think Rock was harder on Pinkett Smith than on Will Smith, which I think opens the door for a discussion on sexism which is the political part. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support
Sheila Gunn Reid and Tamara Ugolini are LIVE for the DAILY Roundup! Today, Sheila and Tamara are looking at Justin Trudeau's attempts to deflect from Chinese interference by saying his critics are racist. Where have we heard that before?
