Podcasts about Ecocide

On 6th June 2023, the Nova Kakhovka dam was breached while under Russian occupation, releasing a wave of toxic pollution into Ukraine's rivers. The number of casualties – both human and animal – may never be fully known. Ukraine is one of a small number of countries to include ecocide in its domestic criminal code, and the destruction of Kakhovka Dam is one of hundreds of incidents that prosecutors are studying while building environmental damages cases against Russia. On the global stage, Ukraine is leading efforts for the International Criminal Court to recognise ecocide as the fifth core international crime, alongside genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression.  Bertie speaks to Darya Tsymbalyuk, Assistant Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago, about her new book, “Ecocide in Ukraine: The Environmental Cost of Russia's War.” They discuss the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, the sensory impact of war, and Tsymbalyuk's intention to bring Ukrainian environmentalists and humanities scholars into this growing legal dialogue.  Buy a copy of Ecocide in Ukraine: The Environmental Cost of Russia's War from Polity Press here.   Further reading: Destruction og Ukraine dam casued 'toxic timebomb' of heavy metals, study finds, The Guardian, March 2025 Ukraine's Ravaged Environment, The New York Times, April 2025 Constellations of Ukranian Thought and the Environmental Humanities, Tanya Richardson and Darya Tsymbalyuk, 2024 What my body taught me about being a scholar of Ukraine and from Ukraine in times of Russia's war of aggression, Springer Nature – Darya Tsymbalyuk, July 2023  The unlikely species entangled in Ukraine's resistance to Russia, BBC, February 2024 A Landmine Detonates in the Woods, IWM – Darya Tsymbalyuk, October 2022 Darya's fundraising for Ukraine  Click here to read our investigation into the UK biomass supply chain, or watch a clip from the BBC Newsnight documentary.

Modernity is dying within and around us, and we need to face that death with courage and compassion. Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, author of Hospicing Modernity, joins us. Highlights include:    How her mixed Indigenous and German heritage in Brazil exposed her to a complex mix of love and violence, deepening her understanding of how socialization and education can perpetuate harmful relationships; Why the ‘house of modernity', which is built on a foundation of humanity's separation from the rest of nature, is structured to ultimately fail; Why we need to ‘hospice modernity' both within and around us, without feeling overwhelmed or rushing for quick fixes, while making space for something much larger to emerge; Why we need to compost the ‘pedestal' sense of agency from modernity and its elevated sense of certainty and subject-object relationships and embrace a more intersubjective mycelial sense of agency;  Why ‘outgrowing modernity' will require us to prepare for a ‘well-died death' and a greater sense of emotional sobriety, relational maturity, intellectual discernment, and interspecies and intergenerational responsibility. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/vanessa-andreotti   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. 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.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Professor David Whyte examines how our legal and economic systems—particularly the structures of corporate capitalism—shape environmental outcomes and impede meaningful climate action. Drawing from his academic work and recent report The Carbon Cash Machine, he argues that tackling climate change requires confronting the underlying architecture that enables corporations to prioritize profit while externalizing harm.Whyte explores the role of institutional investors, shareholder returns, and regulatory frameworks, revealing how financial incentives continue to drive fossil fuel expansion, arguing that corporate sustainability commitments are ultimately at odds with their core economic logic. He believes that corporate reform within the existing system will fall short, urging a deeper reckoning with the structural forces that entrench shareholder primacy over environmental responsibility. Calling for a fundamental reimagining of ownership, governance, and investment, he considers alternatives such as cooperative enterprises and public control of key industries, envisioning what a truly transformative economic model might look like.This is a important  incisive discussion, from late 2024, that raises urgent questions about accountability, power, and the deeper systemic changes needed to confront the climate crisis. David Whyte is Professor of Climate Justice in the School of Law, Queen Mary University of London. His most recent book is Ecocide: kill the corporation before it kills us (Manchester University Press, 2020). He is the co-author of Corporate Human Rights Violations: Global Prospects for Legal Action' (Routledge, 2018, with Stefanie Khoury) and editor of The Violence of Austerity (Pluto, 2017, with Vickie Cooper). 

In this conversation, Jojo Mehta, the head of Stop Ecocide International, discusses the concept of ecocide, its definition, and the importance of criminalizing severe environmental harm. She shares her journey into environmental advocacy, the global legislative progress, and the role of international law in addressing ecocide. The discussion highlights the cultural shifts needed to recognize the seriousness of ecological destruction and the potential impact of US politics on the movement. Mehta emphasizes the need for a global acknowledgment of ecocide as a serious crime and outlines future milestones for advocacy efforts. Takeaways Ecocide refers to severe and long-term harm to ecosystems. Criminalizing ecocide aims to create a moral stigma against environmental harm. Legislation is moving forward in various jurisdictions to address ecocide. International law can elevate serious environmental crimes to a new level of seriousness. Cultural shifts are necessary to recognize the value of nature. Ecocide law could restore the International Criminal Court's intended role. The US's non-membership in the ICC limits its influence on ecocide law. Advocacy for ecocide law is gaining momentum globally. The coalition of victim countries is crucial for advancing ecocide law. Future milestones include expanding diplomatic conversations and legal frameworks.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There's a push to see those responsible for intentional destruction of the environment tried in the International Criminal Court, just like war criminals. Three small island nations have proposed making ecocide a crime like genocide and crimes against humanity. But what would that take – and is there a better way to hold people to account for harming the planet and our climate?

In this episode, ICHR LLM student Sonia Artesani speaks with Maksym Popov, Advisor to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, and Richard J. Rogers, a lawyer and expert in international human rights and criminal law, currently addressing businesses' impact on human rights. Together, they discuss the prosecution of environmental crimes and ecocide in Ukraine and at the international level, analyzing the recent proposal to recognize ecocide as the fifth international crime under the Rome Statute. They also examine Ukraine's efforts to seek justice for direct attacks on the environment perpetrated by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territories, including the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam.

Support the Bhopal Medical Appeal https://www.bhopal.org/Episode two: The Green Revolution  explores the historical, political and economic forces that came together to make the Bhopal Gas Disaster a catastrophe just waiting to happen. Focusing on India's so called “Green Revolution” we discuss the long term consequences of short term technological fixes to the environmental challenges with which the new post-colonial state was confronted - not least the persistent problem of food security and the threat of famine. We explore how new laws such as the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act contributed to Union Carbide's decision to cut corners in the building and safety of its plant in Bhopal, and we discuss  some very different responses to the environment at the Green Revolution within India in the 1970s and 1980s.This month, all new sign ups on Patreon will be given directly to the Bhopal Medical Appeal. Music "Recurring anomaly"  by Charles Holmehttps://www.epidemicsound.com/track/bcoMezO9lb/Support the show

Stop Ecocide International‘s goal is to create a new international Crime of Ecocide (long-standing, wide-sclae, severe damage to the environment) within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court where it would sit alongside the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression as one of the “crimes against peace”, which are those crimes which are considered to be most serious by humankind. Sue Miller is Head of global networks where her distinctive role is to help seed and socialize the concept of “Ecocide” in as many communities as possible. Sue explains that when people are introduced to the term “Ecocide” and its meaning they can't believe that this doesn't exist anyway – that there is no law that protects earth from large scale damage already. So why do crimes against earth, which at the end affect every single one of us, take much more hard work and push to be acknowledged as the crimes they are? Perhaps the lack of political will and the assumption that environmental protection will somehow detract from people's lives?   You will also find out what happens once countries decide to include Ecocide into their legislature and rules of law. Let us imagine the changes and shifts that would be happening in a world/economies/societies where crimes against Earth are recognized, tried in courts of law and made an ARRESTABLE offense… While you will never be able to bring round all companies it is hopeful to hear that more and more are realizing that business as usual is not an option anymore – change seems to be happening.   We hope you enjoy this Talk ☀

In this interview community organizer Ghassan Makarem in Beirut speaks about the ways that the Israeli state bombing of south Lebanon has impacted the land. Ghassan names the term ecocide in relation to the impacts of the neo-colonial carpet bombing of regions of southern Lebanon. This interview was recorded for broadcast on Radio AlHara in Palestine and to be shared globally. The accompanying photo was taken by Stefan in southern Lebanon in 2005.

Earlier this fall, three Pacific Island States – Vanuatu, Fiji, and Samoa – formally proposed adding ecocide as a crime that can be heard and punished by the International Criminal Court, which can currently try individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and the crime of aggression.Any change to the ICC's Rome Statute, particularly adding a new international crime, would require a massive level of diplomatic coordination and negotiation. But the future crime might hold individuals criminally accountable for severe environmental damage, such as massive oil or chemical spills or the destruction of rainforests. In the meantime, what does the ecocide proposal mean in practice? How might it potentially impact our understanding of ongoing destruction of the environment and the role of international criminal law? Joining the show to unpack the ecocide proposal are Naima Fifita, Rebecca Hamilton, and Kate Mackintosh.  Naima is a lawyer from Tuvalu. She is the Executive Director of the Institute for Climate and Peace. Bec is an Executive Editor at Just Security and a Professor of Law at American University. Kate is Executive Director of the UCLA Law Promise Institute Europe, and Deputy Co-Chair of the Independent Expert Panel on the Legal Definition of Ecocide.  Show Notes:  Naima FifitaRebecca Hamilton (@bechamilton) Kate Mackintosh (@Katemackintosh2)Paras Shah (@pshah518) Just Security's expert round up article “Why Criminalize Ecocide?

The heat within Earth's crust could become a major source of always-on, carbon-free, renewable geothermal electricity thanks to a technology developed for fracking that allows for much deeper drilling into hot zones. How a partnership between the oil and gas and geothermal industries could bring transformational change to the electric power sector worldwide.  Also, an explosion that spilled chemical waste into a river near the Russia-Ukraine border this August led to an ecological disaster with mass fish die-offs. Kyiv blames the Kremlin for a deliberate act of ‘ecocide' amid the war that started with Russia's 2022 invasion. And in addition to the retreat and collapse of huge ice shelves, climate change is associated with rapid greening in Antarctica as plants thrive in warmer temperatures. A recent study found that plants have increased more than tenfold on the Antarctic Peninsula in the last few decades, with potential ecological consequences. -- Interested in gaining hands-on experience with producing a radio show and podcast?

This month we are honored to be joined by Jojo Mehta from Stop Ecocide International, which is an international advocacy organization with the goal of making ecocide a crime. Jojo gives us insight into the continuous thread throughout her life that led her to this work. Her “outrage” moment was when she learned about fracking. Her work in the anti-fracking community introduced her to the late Polly Higgins, with whom she co-founded Stop Ecocide International. Jojo gives us insight into what kind of gross environmental harms which fall under the umbrella of ecocide. The Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide describes it as "unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts". This definition focuses on the potential results of the activity in question which creates a kind of reality check. It is not exactly what you do but how you do it, how much you do it, and where you do. It is any instance where the net results of what ones does results in gross damage to the environment. This would force this companies to look at their activities on the ground to assess their activities and whether they are at risk of committing ecocide through their activities. This conversation goes deep and takes us to so many different angles of criminalizing environmental destruction.  Want to learn more about Jojo? https://www.stopecocide.earth/jojo-mehta-profile Want to learn more about Stop Ecocide International and the work they are undertaking? https://www.stopecocide.earth/

If you listened to last week's interview w. Jem Bendell and wondered, "What on Earth do I do now?" And you weren't up for moving to Bali and getting collapse ready by starting a self-sufficient permaculture farm...we've got you! This week's episode is about practical action being taken right now to protect the rights of Nature. Clare is sitting down with two can-do women, fashion designer Lucy Tammam and Stop Ecocide International's Jojo Mehta to decode one of the topics of the moment, ecocide law. You might have noticed this idea gaining momentum. Ecocide refers to the mass damage and destruction of ecosystems – severe harm to nature which is widespread or long-term. The idea is to criminalise it. And it's happening! It's become national law in several countries with many more discussing it. In March, the EU passed a law that criminalises actions 'comparable to ecocide' - a revolutionary legal development; the first law of its kind to be adopted by a political entity with substantial global influence. In September, Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa submitted a proposal to the International Criminal Court for recognition of ecocide as a crime. What does all this mean for fashion? Listen to find out!

Edition No55 | 06-10-2024 - Ukrainian officials in Chernihiv have told residents not to swim in the Desna River after a toxic spill last month. This video is based on the excellent reporting of Luke Harding and Artem Mazhulin in Slabyn, Ukraine, from the UK's Guardian newspaper. ~~~~~ ‘Everything is dead' – reports come in of a major ecocide event, after rivers are poisoned. Ukrainian officials in Chernihiv have told residents not to swim in the Desna River after a toxic spill last month. This video is based on the excellent reporting of Luke Harding and Artem Mazhulin in Slabyn, Ukraine, from the UK's Guardian newspaper. It won't come as a surprise to anyone who's paying attention, that Russia is suspected of deliberately leaking chemical waste into rivers. This has had deadly consequences already for wildlife within the waters and surrounding ecosystems. Hundreds of fish, including roach, pike, carp and other species, have washed up on the Desna River's willow-fringed banks. “Everything is dead, starting from the tiniest minnow to the biggest catfish,” explains Serhiy Kraskov, mayor of the village of Slabyn, located in Ukraine's northern Chernihiv region. ~~~~~ SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ~~~~~ NEWS SOURCES: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/01/ukraine-seim-river-poisoning-chernihiv-ecocide- https://svidomi.in.ua/en/page/this-is-an-environmental-disaster-how-russia-poisoned-the-seim-river-in-the-north-of-ukraine https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/09/12/7474751/ ~~~~~ USEFUL LINKS: Vatnik Soup https://twitter.com/P_Kallioniemi http://www.medbat.org.ua/en/ Real World News https://kyivindependent.com/ https://www.kyivpost.com/ https://english.nv.ua/ https://www.themoscowtimes.com/ https://meduza.io/en https://meduza.io/ https://novayagazeta.eu/ https://www.newsweek.com/topic/russia...

Three of New Zealand's Pacific neighbours have asked the International Criminal Court to consider 'ecocide' an international crime. 

We're the architects of a future we'll never inhabit. In the face of today's global challenges, we must consider how our actions set the stage for those who will inherit the Earth after us. Are we obligated to act now for people we'll never meet? Do future generations even have rights? In today's episode, we discuss the spiritual implications of "now vs. later" — how short-term desires clash with long-term responsibilities. From environmental conservation to preserving cultural and moral values, we explore what it really means to leave behind a legacy. Does spirituality demand that we leave footprints in the sand, or seeds in the soil for a forest we'll never see? Throughout history, certain societies have embraced long-term thinking, while others have been crumbled by short-term gains. From Indigenous practices of sustainability to modern roles like the Future Generations Commissioner of Wales, long-term stewardship has always been a guiding principle. But it's becoming rarer in today's fast-paced world — just look at the instant gratification of consumerism or political leaders who make decisions solely based on election cycles. What is the price of constantly living for the present, and how does it stunt our collective growth? Can we design systems and cultures that help us rise above short-term thinking, even in the face of an immediate crisis?Even beliefs like reincarnation, which promise a second chance, can lead us to focus on personal ‘good karma' rather than the welfare of future generations. What does it truly mean to be a "good ancestor" when we're preoccupied with our own spiritual returns? We also cover some common spiritual practices, like meditation and manifestation, explaining which ones foster a mindset of sustainability and which may unintentionally encourage short-term thinking. Stewarding the future carries a heavy weight, both spiritually and emotionally. But the truth is that you are both an echo of the past and a whisper for the future. What kind of sound will your life make? *****************************************"Like the earth, let us help and share the burden of all.

Can our national and international legal systems be harnessed in service of life, to put the brakes on the worst excesses of capitalism and slow the annihilation of our eco-sphere?  Stop Ecocide International exists explicitly to make this happen and this week, we talk to Jojo Mehta, co-founder and Executive Director of the movement. If we're going to stop capitalism's harms to the planet, we have to build road blocks into the current system that will be recognised by those who make the harms happen and one of the key ways to do this is to criminalise activities that are wiping out the future in real time - if we're using Joanna Macy's concept of the Three Pillars of the Great Turning, this is one of the most effective Holding Actions imaginable (the other two pillars are 'Systems Change' and 'Shifting in Consciousness', which we explore in many other episodes. Today, though, we're exploring this ultimate Holding Action and our guest is right at the forefront of this. Jojo Mehta is co-founder and Executive Director of Stop Ecocide International (SEI)  which she and the late pioneering barrister Polly Higgins (1968-2019) set up in 2017.  SEI is the driving force at the heart of the growing global movement to make ecocide an international crime. Their core work is supporting diplomatic progress and fostering global cross-sector support for this. To this end, they collaborate with diplomats, politicians, lawyers, corporate leaders, NGOs, indigenous and faith groups, influencers, academic experts, grassroots campaigns and individuals, positioning themselves with great clarity at the meeting point of legal evolution, political traction and public narrative. As a result, they are uniquely placed to track, support and amplify the global conversation. This conversation took us in many directions, exploring the legal implications of the law, but beyond it to the potential it has to counter the iniquities of the States Investor Dispute Settlements and how it could bolster Indigenous groups seeking protections for their ancestral lands.  We looked at the ways the law is being framed and where it and laws like it have already been enacted, how it's progressing in the International Criminal Court and what the ultimate aims are in using it as a deterrent, but also as a cover for those in the extractive, destructive industries - which, let's face it, is pretty much every industry - who want to act, but are constrained by their requirement to push always for profit regardless of the impact on people and planet.  Those who drive them may not care about the little people - you and me - but they care about themselves and if they face actual gaol terms, then their incentive structures become quite different. As Daniel Schmachtenberger so often says, 'Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome' - Stop Ecocide International exists radically to shift the incentive structure and it's making real headway.  If you despair about the ways we can change the trajectory of the system, if you think our chances of veering the bus away from the cliff's edge are small, then this is the spark of light you need in the gloom - it's genuinely encouraging. Stop Ecocide International Ltd https://www.stopecocide.earth/stop-ecocide-international-ltdStop Ecocide Foundation https://www.stopecocide.earth/sefIndependent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide https://bell-harmonica-g83z.squarespace.com/legal-definitionSEI on Twitter  https://x.com/EcocideLawJJo on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jojo-mehta/Stop Ecocide Film on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZw0HWM9n8IGuardian Article:  https://www.theguardian.com/law/article/2024/sep/09/pacific-islands-ecocide-crime-icc-proposal

The Insight: Examining Ecocide - How Military Occupations fuel Climate Disasters by Radio Islam

Could the destruction of nature become considered as serious a crime as that of genocide? How does the structure of law shape a civilisation's norms, behaviors and overarching story?Today we'll be discussing international Ecocide law, a massively growing movement that wants to embed the notion of ‘ecocide' crime at the highest levels of law - at the International Criminal Court in The Hague - and create a powerful deterrent for the further damage to ecosystems and people globally. Our guest is Pella Thiel, a maverick ecologist, farmer, author and who has co-founded the Swedish hubs of international networks like Transition Sweden, End Ecocide Sweden and is an associate of the Centre for Environment and Development Studies at Uppsala University. Pella was awarded the Swedish Martin Luther King Award in 2023 and the Environmental Hero of the year 2019. We discuss: Why ecocide law is different & a game changer as compared with other environmental laws How it can help create a new moral baseline, shifting global values and mindsets Where the tensions or synergies might lie between the Rights of Nature and Ecocide law The notion of positive tipping points And how an Embassy of the Baltic Sea might play out as a practice center for ecological community building Episode Website Link Show Links:Stop Ecocide International : Breaking News page End Ecocide Sweden Pella Thiel personal website Nate Hagens interview with Pella ThielLifeworlds Resource Page: Ecocentric Law Lifeworlds Episode on Rights of Nature MA Earth Interview with Jojo Mehta (Director of Stop Ecocide) Positive Tipping Points Embassy of the North Sea The Ecopsychology Initiative Look out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.Music: Electric Ethnicity by Igor Dvorkin, Duncan Pittock & Ellie Kidd Photo credit: Law Statue Hosted on Acast.

IN MEMORY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF KAKHOVKA DAM Friends and fellow activists, This is vitally important, and unfortunately has not received nearly enough media attention, either at the time the crime was committed by Russia, or subsequently. Ecocide needs to be designated a war crime. We must remember Kakhovka. Please share this around your networks to maximise attention on this issue. My friend and colleague Steven Lacey has kindly involved me in the creation process of this impactful campaign to raise awareness about Kakhovka and Ecocide. On this day in 2023 the Kakhovka Dam was destroyed, laying waste to hundreds of square miles of natural habitat and poisoning waterways. Right now The International Criminal Court does not recognise Ecocide as an international crime and ecological destruction goes unpunished. Help nature get justice.

This week, we are joined by two activists engaged in the fight for land justice in South Philadelphia. Urban Forager Lady Danni and Anisa George (Save the Meadows) provide a look into the ongoing legal challenge to the $250 million remodeling of the park. Announced in 2019, the FDR Park Plan looks to destroy the habitats surrounding the park's former golf course in order to construct artificial turf playing fields rife with chemicals.

War is raging in Gaza. People are being killed. Homes and schools and hospitals are being destroyed. Famine has ravaged the land. But there is also something else going on. Ecocide. The complete and utter destruction of the environment in Gaza. Water infrastructure has been destroyed. Wastewater infrastructure has been decimated. Soil is contaminated. The air is unbreathable. We do not talk enough about how war destroys the environment and exacerbates climate change. Well, we're talking about it today.

On this episode, Nate is joined by maverick ecologist Pella Thiel to discuss the legal frameworks behind the Ecocide and Rights of Nature Movements. Our current economic and legal systems have no mechanisms to consider nature in our decision making - much less to make systemic planetary stability a priority. Could redefining the destruction of our biosphere to be considered a crime parallel with that of genocide alter the way we structure laws governing our societies and economies? How are countries legislating and enforcing these ideas - even going so far as to act against the flow of the superorganism? Most importantly, how could top-down legal ideas such as these interact with bottom-up individual action to create powerful shifts in cultural values and motivations?  About Pella Thiel: Pella Thiel is a maverick ecologist, part-time farmer, full-time activist and teacher in ecopsychology. She is the co-founder of Swedish hubs of international networks like Swedish Transition Network and End Ecocide Sweden and a knowledge expert in the UN Harmony with Nature programme. Pella was awarded the Swedish Martin Luther King Award in 2023 and the Environmental Hero of the year 2019.

A conversation with Jojo Mehta, executive director of Stop Ecocide International, about making ecocide a crime, something you can get arrested for and end up in prison. How do we get it from a discussion in lawyer circles and academic circles into international criminal law? And why is it going much faster over the last 5 years than anyone has expected?Law: an area we rarely touch but has the potential to shift our food and agriculture system, and many other systems, completely. Making ecocide a crime. Ecocide is broadly understood to mean mass damage and destruction of ecosystems – severe harm to nature which is widespread or long-term. Turning ecocide into a crime, most likely it would also over time change our consciousness and get ecocide into the realm of things you simply don't do. What is even more fascinating is that large companies actually want this, so it creates a level playing field.This episode offers a rare glimpse into the crossroads of legal innovation and climate activism that could forever alter our relationship with the Earth. We examine the extraordinary momentum gained by movements such as Extinction Rebellion and youth-led climate strikes as well as we pay tribute to the late Polly Higgins, a tireless advocate whose vision of legal reform continues to inspire action. Unveiling the intricate dance of defining ecocide, this conversation brings to light the necessity of a legal framework adaptable to the evolving methods of environmental harm, forecasting a world where atrocities against nature are no longer tolerated.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/jojo-mehtaFind our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

Josh Hart of Feather River Action! in Plumas county joined me to speak about US Forest Service plans for an emergency thinning of forests in this north east part of so-called California and which is threatened to be reproduced in other Federal and private lands in the name of fire prevention around the country. We talk about the claims, motivations and alternative proposals of activists, scientists and community members and the upcoming Lost Sierra Forest-Climate Action Camp happening in the area at the end of May 23-29th. Here are a few more groups working on the issue: http://featherriverwatershedalliance.org/ http://johnmuirproject.org/

54% of American adults believe that climate change is a major threat.  That's up from 44% in 2010. E-cars. Solar farms. Accusations of Ecocide. The hysteria isn't quelling this time. But what is the worldview and the psychology behind the irrational rage and mindless revolution? Are they avoiding the inevitability of the real cataclysm, the ultimate judgment at the hands of almighty God? Kevin Swanson interviews E. Calvin Beisner from the Cornwall Alliance on his new book: “Climate and Energy - the Case for Realism.” Will this unholy cartel of scientists and politicians who have abandoned the fear of God create more of a problem for the world by their senseless policies?

Strikes on Russian oil refineries have a significant impact on Russia's ability to conduct warfare. Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, Commander of U.S. Forces Europe in 2014-17, stated this during the 16th annual Kyiv Security Forum. “Of course, attacks on oil refineries have a significant impact. Russia is less able to pay for this war, and it also deprives it of the necessary fuel to continue hostilities. I would recommend ignoring the calls for an end to such attacks.” The Lieutenant General emphasized that sanctions against Russia need to be strengthened. He also added that 2024 will be the year of industrial competition. “Ukraine and the West should win this competition. I am talking about of course building up ammunition supplies, but also moving forward maintenance capabilities so that the Ukrainian soldiers can fix forward equipment that is broken or damaged on site, as well as increasing their ammunition stocks.” According to Hodges, Ukraine should put pressure on Russian logistics, particularly in Crimea, to make the peninsula unusable for Russian troops. “I would not expect a dramatic drop in Ukraine's ability to defend itself. The job of (new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) Syrskyi will be to stabilize the situation on the front line, but industrial competition will play a role here, while the Ukrainian army needs new units to ensure rotation”. ---------- Ben Hodges is a retired United States Army officer, who became commander of United States Army Europe in November 2014, and held that position for three years until retiring from the United States Army in January 2018. He was most recently a Senior Advisor to Human Rights First, until summer 2023, and serves as NATO Senior Mentor for Logistics. Until recently was the Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies, at the Centre for European Policy Analysis, specialising in NATO, the Transatlantic relationship and international security. ---------- CHAPTERS: 00:01:07 Introduction - what's happened since the last conversation 00:01:55 What we're still getting wrong about Vladimir Putin 00:03:39 Russia crimes - using Ecocide and Energy as Weapons if war 00:06:14 The grey fleet breaking oil sanctions and threatening disaster 00:11:29 Ukraine's revolution in military tactics in the air and at sea 00:14:17 Has siege of Crimea begun, and will it become untenable for Russia 00:16:25 The failing Western strategy of extreme 'escalation manangement' 00:22:29 How has Ukraine still held the line, depite ammunition famine 00:29:42 Why was Jake Sullivan in Kyiv, and does it involve appeasement? 00:30:32 We are giving Putin signals thate he can act with total impunity 00:36:15 What are immediate requirements of Ukraine and how can we meet them? 00:40:41 Is the strategy of 'risk management' built on incorrect assumptions? 00:43:51 Western strategy increases global risk of conflict and chaos ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- LINKS: https://twitter.com/general_ben https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hodges https://cepa.org/author/ben-hodges/ https://warsawsecurityforum.org/speaker/hodges-ben-lt-gen/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hodges-1674b1172/ ---------- CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Farmers could be labeled as being guilty of “ecocide,” and could face criminal prosecution for the acts of farming. This was among the more controversial positions expressed by a participant at the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos, but it ties into an existing debate around the world on “personhood” status. Already, there is a growing movement to grant human rights to plants, animals, rivers, and even artificial intelligence. And this is raising concerns over what it means for the value of human life if everything is treated on the same value as a human life. In this live Q&A with “Crossroads” host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss this topic and others and answer questions from the audience.

In this thought experiment, we explore what it would be like to discover and study governmental standards that exist in our world, as an outsider looking in. We also look at what God's standards are.

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

"Ecocide, Population Reduction & Disease X: Prepare Now!" / Ralph Poupart and Dr. Daniel Daves / Omegaman Episode 10687 Recorded 1-18-2024 on OMEGAMAN Dr. Daniel Davis  https://globalfoodproviders.com/ Ralph Poupart 

In a bold and inspiring move to the west, Sweden scraps the UNs 2030 Agenda goals from its own agenda, with terrifically positive economic results for the Swedes. Journalist Peter Imanuelsen (aka Peter Sweden) joins us live to detail the change Sweden's new right-wing government has already had in the first 18 days of January. ECOCIDE becomes the new buzzword at Davos as the global agenda based on garbage climate alarmism takes center stage. And a SHOCKER ALERT about those "pipe bombs" reportedly discovered outside the RNC and DNC on January 6. Turns out it wasn't some woman just walking by who spotted them.  Podcast Production: Bob Slone Audio Productions 

The King Dude is not the only person who can create new words.  The World Economic Forum introduced ecocide at their annual Davos meeting.  Ecocide will hold people legally accountable for the damaging or destroying nature. The WEF agrees with the environmental wackos that "we" need to regard environmental crimes to the same standards as murder.  Mike Church reveals who the WEF would target for ecocide, and it won't be John Kerry.  Mike also breaks down the definition of ecocide and how this is the latest power grab by the WEF on this episode of the New Christendom Daily.
