Just Stop Oil has ended its campaign of direct action, yet many activists still face years in prison. In the final episode, Rivkah and Clare find out whether their commitment to their cause has wavered. They also speak to veteran climate campaigner Roger Hallam, currently serving a four-year sentence, about his role in sending young […]
Il governo ha approvato un decreto sicurezza che, bypassando il Parlamento, introduce norme più repressive su manifestazioni, migranti, carceri e dissenso. Tra le novità: bodycam per la polizia, arresti per resistenza passiva, e sanzioni più dure per proteste e blocchi. Intanto, Roger Hallam, attivista climatico e fondatore di XR, lancia un allarme sull'estinzione umana causata dal collasso climatico, proponendo come unica via la geoingegneria. Infine, Italia Che Cambia ha rinnovato il proprio sito, con una nuova sezione podcast tutta da esplorare.INDICE:00:00:00 - Sommario00:00:52 - Cos aprevede il nuovo decreto sicurezza 00:11:45 - Roger Hallam e l'estinzione umana00:20:20 - La nostra nuova sezione podcastFonti: https://www.italiachecambia.org/podcast/decreto-sicurezza/Iscriviti alla newsletter: https://bit.ly/3ZcEw
We're not ready for revolution talk, with citizen peace activists being ICEd from their homes. We're in shock. We're staring at Trump. What can we do? The violence against people and the Earth will be stopped. And we, the people, will end it. How? This week on Earth Riot Radio, we remember five heroes who faced the modern corruption of the USA, and they made their move with their bodies and spoken word, with their families and their singing... Sun Ra, Roger Hallam, Asatta Shakur, John Trudell and Edward Snowden. These courageous ones each found a personal, creative response to wage peace against the violence, artists ahead of their time. Now, they are martyred or exiled, but they lived for life.
CLIMATE ACTION SHOWOCTOBER 7th 2024 Produced by Vivien Langford with Simon Walker in UK"CLIMATE MELTDOWN" Antonio Guterres As England closes its last coal fired power plant, UK Just Stop Oil keeps up the pressure to stop licensing new oil and gas projects. The jail sentences for acts of non violent civic action are extreme. UN Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk described the sentences as "deeply troubling".[14] Michel Forst, the United Nations special rapporteur for environmental defenders, attended two days of the trial and was critical of the proceedings, stating that such severe sentences for non-violent protest are "not acceptable in a democracy"Good News -very late in history for UK and far in the future for Australia.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-30/last-coal-fired-power-plant-in-uk-officially-closes/104378430 Guests1.

From Sydney Environment Institute - Stories are the ToolkitEpisode 1: Coordinating the BoatsFlood-affected communities do not remain idle when the need is urgent. This vignette covers one way in which community members organised a system of tracking and coordinating boat rescues to save lives and to minimise the substantial risk taken by those on the water.New South Wales communities have faced devastating bushfires and floods, intensified by climate change. In response, communities have mobilised, organising crucial response and recovery efforts that have saved lives, provided support, and built long-term resilience. Storytelling is an invaluable tool in risk reduction planning, serving as a powerful means of conveying complex information, fostering community engagement, and preserving cultural heritage. These narratives often highlight local knowledges, which are crucial for understanding and addressing unique risks and challenges faced by specific regions.
Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic episode 97 This week Nick and Toby talk about: The strangeness of Biden's announcement that he wouldn't be seeking re-election and the inevitable conspiracy theories that it's given rise to. Was Biden's withdrawal from the Presidential race a palace coup? How much did he really know about it? Why the gap between the announcement and his endorsement of Kamala harris? Can the Democrats ever pose as the guardians of democracy again, given that it's now obvious the elected President hasn't been in charge and the process of selecting his successor has been so undemocratic? Does Kamala have a hope of beating Trump? Does she have anything going for her? She's younger than Trump, but can the Dems really make age an issue in the election, given that Biden was the candidate until five minutes ago? Why is Kamala such a poor public speaker? Is it because she's such an awful boss she can't persuade anyone decent to work for her? Have the Democrats foisted themselves with a Presidential candidate who was a diversity hire? Will this be another nail in the coffin of DEI? And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes: Kim Cheatle's resignation as Secret Service Director after a monstering in Congress and whether she could have avoided that humiliation by resigning the day after the failed assassination attempt. The Leeds riots and whether they are an indictment of mass immigration, as Nigel Farage and others claimed. Everyone's favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the punishment of a seven year-old girl for writing “All Lives Matter” and Toby weeps at the demonisation of the Prince Albert Memorial. And in the Based Department, the clear winner is the judge who handed out stiff jail sentences to Roger Hallam and his Just Stop Oil comrades.

Just Stop Oil and the imprisonment of Roger Hallam and others has provoked an outcry, on both sides of the dispute. And the heightened emotions have made me think. What's going on here? What is at stake?I suspect that what's being missed is something fundamental to human society and how we participate in a wider environment, and that can be discerned more fully by considering the true nature of freedom of speech.I draw on a talk given by Joseph Milne at the excellent Temenos Academy. The archive of talks can be found here - https://www.temenosacademy.org/main-lecture-archive/The approach is to consider what freedom of speech meant to our ancestors, so as to cast a light on the present. Aristotle's thoughts in the Politics is key, as speech for him is what makes human society - speech understood as a sharing the wider rationality and intelligence of the animate cosmos.Justice, then, is an exercise in the bonds of friendship, which is very different from an exercise in rights and the will to power. The limits of social contract theories, the mainstay of modern understandings, are on display. And what we need to recover are other ways of speaking freely - modes of dialogue and discourse that aren't primarily about proposition or facts, but commitments, relationships, devotions, celebrations.
Are climate protestors just students acting the maggot or successors to the Sufragettes and Civil Rights movement? In an extended interview with Roger Hallam the co-founder of Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, Philip tries to establish if the protests can reduce global warming or is the real aim societal change.
When people think about environmentalists, the next words they probably say are, "Oh, like Extinction Rebellion?" The impact of XR on the the climate movement probably can't be over stated. From ubiquitous association to the effects on organising practice, Extinction Rebellion has been at the forefront of climate action for the last five years. In the U.K many campaigns and activist are holding their breath, waiting for the Labour Party to take the reins of government, so the question is: what next for XR?This week Ads and Andrew are joined by XR and Just Stop Oil co-founder Roger Hallam. They discuss how the efffects of climate change spurred Roger into working on building a climate movement, how XR was built, its successes and shortcomings, why revolution is the only answer now as we head past 1.5 degrees and why citzens assemblies can be the mechanism for the revolution.

This episode with Dana R fisher is the unofficial part 2 of 3 looking at the sociological side of collective action, while we try to slow the sinking of the Titanic, to make homes on the lifeboats. The rub in all this is that Dana's message is not dissimilar from Roger Hallam's (unofficial part 1). She agrees that millions will likely die before the so-called Anthroshift kicks in and we get the cascade of structural policies we need to respond en masse to the crisis. The detail in all we discuss is in Dana's new book, ‘Saving Ourselves - From Climate Shocks To Climate Action'. If you want a close up lens on the structural failures to date, coupled with the determination of those in power to ignore the loud and clear science, then please do consider buying my book COPOUT. I've had great feedback from climate luminaries such as Sir David King, Bill McKibben, Alice Hill, Rupert Read, and others. Thank you to all subscribers for your support. It is greatly received as it allows this series to continue. I get so many requests for interviews and it is getting harder to keep up. More supporters means more interviews can bet processed. Thanks again.
In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with Dr Chris Kettle. Chris is Principal Scientist within the International organization Alliance Bioversity International and CIAT, one of the global CGIAR centers for Agricultural research for development. Chris leads their work globally on restoration and the role of trees in transitioning food systems. This is a critically important episode and Chris really dives into the complex interconnectivity between forestry, biodiversity, climate, food systems security, knowledge and so much more. Links to additional work & resources related to Dr Chris Kettle: www.myfarmtrees.org www.diversityforrestoration.org You can also look at the institutional webites https://alliancebioversityciat.org/ And the https://www.cgiar.org/ Chris is leading the restoration component of the naturepositive Initiative https://www.cgiar.org/news-events/news/africa-climate-summit-advanced-tree-restoration-pledges-but-a-big-seed-shortage-remains/ This recent FAO publication led by Dr Chris Kettle: https://www.fao.org/3/cc8955en/cc8955en.pdf You can find all Chris's publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8ViBluIAAAAJ&hl=en Actioning the knowledge we already possess in the science and indigenous communities, while taking a global instead of national perspective, has the potential to radically improve our prospects. This is the real challenge that we face today. Chris offers a wealth of information on both the status quo and the potential for righting the wrongs of the past to fight back and try to conserve and regenerate global forests, while supplying the worlds food at the same time. In the next episode I speak to Honduran youth activist Ricardo Pineda who I heard speaking at COP28. It is a fascinating conversation that touches on justice issues and why he is now calling for research in climate interventions that could possibly save lives in his community. I am also just about to edit the interview with sociologist Dana R Fisher about her new book, ‘Saving Ourselves, from climate shocks to climate action'. This is an unofficial sequel to the interview with Roger Hallam. There are parallel lines that we all need to comprehend. Thank you to all supporters and subscribers. I am recording a lots of interviews at the moment and I appreciate all feedback, good and bad. PREORDER COPOUT: https://amzn.to/3SqI4ii If you want to gain more insight into how these issues all connect together and actually fail at the political and structural level, then please do order my book COPOUT. It is available to order on Amazon and from a wide range of bookstores worldwide.
In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with Roger Hallam, original cofounder of Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil and other socially focussed organisations. He also hosts the ‘Designing The Revolution' podcast. Roger's communication style is often confrontational and very direct. In this interview Roger discusses where he thinks we are now and the complex sociological processes at work that will determine the future. Moving into 2024 we are faced with the reality that the largest fossil fuel producers are expanding production around the world, demonstrating disregard for all the scientific warnings and broken-promises that litter the decades since the 1970's, regarding over consumption and carbon pollution. PREORDER 'COPOUT - HOW GOVERNMENTS HAVE FAILED THE CLIMATE' By Nick Breeze - https://amzn.to/3U2EwFt The COP process of the last eight years from Paris to Dubai is documented in my book COPOUT which is available to preorder on Amazon now. Endorsements from key people involved in confronting climate & ecological issues are included in the notes. This year I will be focussing on speaking with people who articulate the myriad pathways forward from the social, political, natural and technological options - and their inevitable pitfalls. The objective is to see what we can learn and improve our chances for a better outcome than what we currently face. Thank you for all supporters who make this series possible. Please do subscribe, share the episodes or do whatever you can to be part of the conversation. Praise for COPOUT: ‘COPOUT is required reading for anyone trusting on global action by governments to solve the planet's climate crisis.' Dr Alice Hill, former special assistant to President Barack Obama and senior director for resilience policy at the National Security Council. ‘A must-read for all of us who care about and work for a manageable future for humanity and the ecosystems that we depend on' Sir David King - Former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government. 'COPOUT gives a very strong sense of what the stakes are, in the climate struggle and shows the urgent need for other nimbler ways forward as we finally face up to the existential threat now upon us' Emeritus Professor Rupert Read, author of Why Climate Breakdown Matters and Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project ‘This is just what we need!' Professor Hugh Hunt, Director of Centre for Climate Repair at University of Cambridge

Extinction Rebellion, also simply known as XR, is a global environmental movement. It was founded in the UK with the explicit aim of using nonviolent civil resistance to compel government action to avoid ecological collapse. The latest UN IPCC report paints a dire picture of what the future will bring. By 2050, a billion people will face coastal flooding from rising seas. Using radical tactics, Extinction Rebellion draws inspiration from grassroots movements such as the civil rights movement. XR aims to instill a sense of urgency to prevent further climate breakdown and the ongoing sixth mass extinction. A number of XR activists accept arrest and imprisonment. The movement's symbol is a stylized, circled hourglass to serve as a warning that time is running out for us.
Luisteraars! Dit keer een gesprek met Jelmer Mommers, gewaardeerd collega en auteur van het ge-update boek 'Hoe gaan we dit uitleggen?' (die moet je dus kopen). De podcast verloopt langs de klassieke lijnen van de protestantse preek: verdoemenis, verlossing, dankbaarheid. Hoe staat het klimaat ervoor? Veel ruimte is er niet meer om de opwarming onder anderhalve graad te houden. En we lijken af te koersen op meer opwarming. Maar wat dan? Hoeveel zorgen moeten wij ons maken over doemscenario's? Ondertussen zijn er ook een hoop ontwikkelingen die positief stemmen. Hernieuwbare energie concurreert fossiele bronnen er op kosten al bijna uit. Iets wat tot voor kort eigenlijk niet voorstelbaar was. Maar kunnen we het ook bouwen? We lopen aan tegen tekorten aan personeel en stroperige procedures. De milieubeweging is altijd goed geweest in 'nee' zeggen, maar wat als er nu vaker 'ja' moet worden gezegd. Tot slot: Rusland is een energiesupermacht, die Europa voorziet van kolen, gas en olie. Daar zijn we inmiddels niet meer zo blij mee. Wat betekent dat voor de energietransitie? Er was ogenschijnlijke onenigheid tussen Jelmer en mijzelf (Jesse). Ik vind dat we meer inheems Europees gas moeten winnen om de gasafhankelijkheid af te bouwen. Jelmer vond dat een te snelle conclusie. Wij weten de bron van ons conflict te herleiden tot Genesis 1.

As the Conservative government prepares to host the COP26 climate summit, famous environmental campaigner and co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, Roger Hallam, has a message he wants people to hear: his movement is not just for woke students and the radical Left.In an eye-opening interview, he tells Freddie Sayers about the importance of the nation-state, social conservatism, local community, and how he wants church leaders and ex-police officers in his movement. His pitch, in short, is that philosophical conservatives should not be afraid to embrace radical environmentalism:'There's a certain amount of cowardice amongst social conservatives, that they see this culture war, and they don't want to make that step that I'm making today in talking to you. I want social conservatives to step forward and say, ‘Yes, I'm going to sit on an XR platform'. And as a social conservative, you know, as an ex-police officer, as a church leader, right? And say, ‘Yes, I don't agree with your culture. But I agree with the moral imperative, that at this time in history, we have to start going above and beyond our sectional interest'. And I think that's a key element of social conservatism at its best, which is to put the national interest, the interest of the whole of society above the sectional or cultural interest.' On the ideological diversity of the XTR membership:A lot of people that have come to London have been from what you might call the Celtic fringe, you know, Cornwall, Wales, the north of England. I mean, yes, there's been a lot of the usual suspects, as it were, urban students and that sort of thing. But lots of people, for instance, are over 50. And they have a pre-Thatcherite culture, as you might say. Their culture is more: there's a right and wrong in the world. We're moderate people, but we don't go about destroying the next generation. We have a connection to the land. We have a connection to traditional small town politics.' On the failings of the ‘Davos elite':'I think the global strategy, which is being pursued by the western liberal class has catastrophically failed. Carbon emissions have gone up by 60% since 1990. And how many conferences have there been? 30? 40? We've got another one coming up. And we've got this narrative that the professional classes and the global liberal class and the bureaucrats and the diplomats and all the rest of that area are going to sort this out. And we all remember in the 1990s and early 2000s, that feeling that there's climate change out there and yes, it was serious, and these men in suits were saying they will go and sort it out. It has a sort of emperor-without-clothes feeling about it now, which is they're still saying the same thing.' On why nationalism is the best approach:'National identity at the end of the day trumps internationalism when you're faced with annihilation. Now, I want to make clear that that does not mean the chauvinistic nationalism that a lot of left wing people associate nationalism with, for good reason, of course. But as we all know, there's many different shades of patriotism and nationalism. And it's silly really to weaponise it. What we're looking at is a nationalism or patriotism which is rooted in a love of one's country, a love of one's tradition, and a love of one's political traditions.' On the moral law:'We need to understand we have obligations to those that came before us, particularly those that sacrificed their lives in the 20th century in order to protect the liberty of this country. And the other idea, which is related of course, is the notion of legacy. The notion that we're not just here to enjoy ourselves, right? That's the new liberal, individualist, consumerist idea, that people on the left, from where I come from, and also social conservatives are critical of for lots of reasons. But the point here is that the essence of the immorality of continuing to put carbon into the atmosphere is the transgression of the moral law, the moral law being you don't do unto others what you wouldn't have them do to yourself. In other words, you don't shit on your children.' On the tactics of Extinction Rebellion:'We can see that Left and Right wing groups engage in civil disobedience or forms of disruption, and leaving aside the violence issue, sometimes it goes into that. But the idea that disruption in itself is anti conservative isn't sustainable. I think I would turn it around and say that just because the majority of the people in a society believe something, does not make it right. And that's a core conservative idea. It's not just that that superficial idea of democracy, which is a poll saying, everyone agrees with something.' On the media portrayal of the movement:'The media they tend to juxtapose the secular and the religious. It's like one minute you're technocratic scientists, and the next minute, we're mediaeval child saints. I mean, dare I say it, there's a little bit of middle ground. So what's happening with Extinction Rebellion, what's happening with the broad immobilisation around the world, is you're exactly right. We moving from a reductive scientific technocratic orientation on the climate to something that's deeper. But that doesn't mean we're rushing off to some millenarian cult sort of religious situation. What we're doing is we're starting to reconnect with a deeper sense of humanity, in various different cultural manifestations. And if you want to call that spiritual then so be it. But it's certainly a deeper sense of self and a deeper sense of community, which has religious connotations.' Read The Post here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What Matters Most podcast host Paul Samuel Dolman speaks with climate change activist Roger Hallam, author of Common Sense for the 21st Century. The post Roger Hallam #763 appeared first on Paul Samuel Dolman.
The co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, Roger Hallam, goes head-to-head with environmentalism sceptic, Ben Pile. In the first Reasoned Debate, Darren Grimes has the two opposing sides discuss what place there is for democracy in environmentalism, the next generation and their concerns around the 'climate crisis', does the idea of the collapse of civilisation and/or the extinction of humanity *really* emerge from 'science', and, finally, is as a green agenda that has been captured in its totality by our cultural, political, educational and corporate elites really a rebellion? ****** To make sure you never miss a single Reasoned video, click here to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX469QlvW5gdPCMek-d-kuQ?sub_confirmation=1 Reasoned is fan-funded through monthly and one-time donations: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-fund-and-grow-reasoned ****** Follow Roger on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RogerHallamCS21 Follow Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/clim8resistance ****** Follow Reasoned on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ReasonedUK Follow Darren on Twitter: https://twitter.com/darrengrimes_ Follow Darren on Facebook: https://twitter.com/thedarrengrimes

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support I was buoyed to see several Fun Kids podcasts nominated at the British Podcast Awards earlier this month. The Santa Daily, presented by Father Christmas in the countdown to December 25th is up in two categories: Best Daily, against the likes of Monocle 24's The Globalist, which has been waking me up every morning in lockdown, and even Today in Focus from The Guardian. Best Radio Podcast against Chris Moyles' Radio X and two picks from BBC Radio 4. I'm most proud of The Week Junior Show, the news podcast for children, fully punching its weight in the Best Current Affairs Podcast category with players like the Economist, LBC's James O'Brien from Global, and the Guardian. The results are to be announced in a livestream on July 11th. Gunning for next years' nominations, I'm still producing and editing Fun Kids' lockdown podcast, Stuck at Home. We also launched a brand new podcast, Sean and Robot's Comedy Circuit, which I did the artwork for, and re-launched an older channel with a newer concept, Story Quest. Here's what else I've been up to in May: My local, independent coffee shop re-opened ahead of schedule. It felt good to have a barista-prepared coffee for the first time in two months! The barbers better be next. Fresh bouquets from Bloom & Wild elevate any at-home office. These flowers come through letterboxes and last an impressive amount of time considering they've trundled around the postal system. I've been reading: If you read a lot, I've found a great Amazon alternative: Hive. Buy online, have your book delivered, and an independent bookshop of your choosing gets a percentage of your sale. I read hilarious Q&A between ‘You and Coronavirus' from the New York Times at the start of May. I've been digging into sneak-peaks from Love People, Use Things, a book from Joshua Fields Milburn and Ryan Nicodemus, publishing in 2021. Edward Snowden's autobiography, Permanent Record, about his life and the process behind the 2013 NSA revelations is as eye-opening as the information he blew the whistle on. The Hunger Games' prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, is pretty good. I was worried at first about its length and subject matter but like the original books, which were an allegory for the Iraq War, there's lessons to be learned in this one too. Common Sense For The 21st Century: Only Nonviolent Rebellion Can Now Stop Climate Breakdown And Social Collapse by Extinction Rebellion co-founder Roger Hallam is worth picking up and a lot of the lessons can be applied to other social crises too. Paul Jarvis, founder of privacy-friendly analytics group Fathom, has a good archive of email newsletters on his website covering an array of subjects including digital rights and creativity. His delivers weekly on a Sunday. I've been writing about: All of my blog posts – including this one! – are available as podcast episodes. Just search for my name, Adam Ayrton Stoner, in your podcast app of choice, or just tap here. On Tuesday, I wrote about how the problems we experienced pre-coronavirus will continue to exist after it. Climate change and social justice, but this post paid particular attention to the Black Lives Matter movement. On Wednesday 10th June, and written before the reigniting of the Black Lives Matter movement in the US, I put down some radical ideas for a future post-coronavirus. It mainly focuses on governance but the ideas are definitely geared towards creating more equal and just societies. Subscribe in your podcast app of choice to hear me read it when it's released. Earlier in the month, I wrote about how one might use blockchain technology to build uncensorable social media platforms. I don't have the technical know-how to do that but I have been working on ways to mirror tweets to the Ethereum chain; a bit like an immutable version of Politwoops, which tracks tweets politicians delete. I've been enjoying: As a longterm holder of the granddaddy of cryptocurrency, celebs like JK Rowling talking about it fills me with a sense of pride. I've been lax with the security around my crypto holdings for quite some time so purchased a Trezor hardware wallet to store Bitcoin and Ethereum. Battling with poor upload and download speeds, I purchased Little Snitch, a programme for your Mac that reveals all the connections other programmes on it are making and lets you block them at at will. If you use Adobe Creative Cloud, your jaw will hit the floor at just how many times your computer pings their servers. Weirdly, blocking those connections doesn't even affect the functionality of the programmes. That's all for now. Until next time. Your friend, Adam.
Blockierte Strassen, besetze Eingänge zu Banken, Tennisspiel in der Schalterhalle, besetzte Kohlengruben - die Klimabewegung hat in den letzten Monaten mit zivilem Ungehorsam auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. Man sei gezwungen, das Gesetz zu brechen, sagt der Mitbegründer von Extinction Rebellion, Roger Hallam, weil sich in Sachen Rettung des Klimas zu wenig tut. «Richtig so», sagt Christiana Figueras, die als Architektin des Pariser Klimavertrags gilt, und «richtig so», sagt auch der Philosoph Francis Cheneval. Und betont, dass Strafe nun mal zum zivilen Ungehorsam mit dazu gehört.
Today's You've Been Warmed episode welcomes Dave Borlace - a growing YouTube star when it comes to the climate change conversation.Dave produces videos on his YouTube Channel - Just Have A Think - where he educates his over 50,000 subscribers on various topics related to climate change. The reason his content is so valuable is because he manages to condense heavy amounts of information into medium-sized videos - about 10-15 minutes long - which are easily digestible.Not everybody can read scientific papers and synthesize information, and not everybody has the time to research as much. I'm personally a big fan of his channel, having watched a lot of the content and found amazing insights in his videos detailing the IPCC 1.5 degree report, nuclear technology or the latest developments in battery tech.It was a pleasure to speak to Dave about his channel and his content creation process. We also dove deep into the individual changes he made to offset his own emissions, how important social movements are to creating lasting change, the difference between the Western world and developing countries when it comes to climate change, as well as the Nuclear vs Renewables debate.We also produced a video version of this episode which is available on Dave's YouTube channel - unfortunately I managed to only record his screen, so you won't be able to see me. Hopefully I'll learnt my lesson for the next video interview I do.I highly recommend watching or listening to the interview and definitely consider subscribing to Dave's channel and becoming a Patron - supporting high quality content around climate change will help him dedicate more time and educate more people about this crucial topic.DAVE'S RELEVANT LINKS'Just Have A Think' YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRBwLPbXGsI2cJe9W1zfSjQ'Just Have A Think' Patreon Page - https://www.patreon.com/justhaveathinkTIMECODES3:40 - Dave's Background, How He Learned About Climate Change & Started His YouTube Channel10:30 Dave's Content creation process17:40 - Individual Changes That Reduce Emissions - How Easy Are They To Implement?27:50 - What About Systemic Change From Collective Action?33:10 - Western Nations vs The Developing World38:25 - The Path To Net-Zero Emissions - How Do We Get There?44:24 - The Nuclear vs Renewables Debate55:04 - Business vs Science vs Politics vs SocietyRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEDave's DIY Videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1wsfciQMOM'A farewell to ice' by Peter Wadhams - https://www.amazon.com/Farewell-Ice-Peter-Wadhams/dp/0241009413Zack Labe - https://twitter.com/ZLabeUdemy - https://www.udemy.com/Triodos Bank - https://www.triodos.com/Impossible Foods - https://impossiblefoods.com/Roger Hallam - https://www.rogerhallam.com/Extinction Rebellion - https://rebellion.earth/Fridays For Future - https://www.fridaysforfuture.org/Sunrise Movement - https://www.sunrisemovement.org/Michael Gove - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_GoveIPCC 1.5 Degree Report - https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/Kevin Anderson - https://twitter.com/KevinClimateJHAT Negative Emissions Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbbUDnk79G4Molten-Salt Reactors - https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-and-future-generation/molten-salt-reactors.aspxJoshua Rhodes Episode - https://www.youvebeenwarmed.com/episodes/10-improving-energy-infrastructure-and-transmission-for-better-renewables-adoption-joshua-rhodesMike Kirby Episode - https://www.youvebeenwarmed.com/episodes/15-the-evolution-of-residential-solar-mike-kirby-lumina-solarJyri Engestrom Episode - https://www.youvebeenwarmed.com/episodes/the-ww2-inspired-mobilization-to-decarbonize-our-economy-w-jyri-engestrom-co-founder-yes-vcZack Exley - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_ExleyCommitted Emissions - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1364-3
This is the first part of a multi-part interview with Roger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, an environmental movement which is using nonviolent civil disobedience to force government action around the climate crisis. This episode marked kind of a watershed for the Make World project, in that it galvanised both some of my own personal thinking around system change, and suggested what could be a new way forward for the project -- more on that soon. This episode was recorded with Roger in person, at his farm in South Wales, UK. We discuss: the need for radical change, and what history can teach us about how and under what circumstances change happens; how Roger sees XR's programme as part of a moral imperative, one he argues is 'beyond' politics; and we dig a little bit into the detail of the 'Citizens' Assembly' XR proposes to deliberate on the massive challenges facing us as a society -- how Citzen's Assemblies would work in practice, and some recent examples suggestive of their efficacy.
Today's You've Been Warmed episode features Roger Hallam one of the co-founders of Extinction Rebellion - the mass civil disobedience movement that started in the UK which is credited by a lot of people for spreading awareness of our current climate crisis.Roger was kind enough to give his time and jump on a pod with me. It's important to state that he did so in a personal capacity, so everything you will hear on this episode is his personal opinion and not the opinions expressed by Extinction Rebellion as an organization.I knew Roger would be a fascinating guest to interview since I read his manifesto - Common Sense for The 21st Century. It was fascinating to dive into the thinking behind Extinction Rebellion - why they do what they do, how they build up a culture that can sustain their mission and stay within the peaceful protest they practice and also what concrete solutions they plan to bring forward so that people can have a say in how we make decisions in our democracies.The entire conversation offers an interesting perspective which Roger believes constitutes a complete paradigm shift from how our society currently functions. I was pleasantly surprised at how he answered some of my follow-up questions, especially when it came to concrete solutions and forms of communication & organization which blend in-person debates with modern technology communication.ROGER'S SOCIAL MEDIA LINKSRoger's Website - https://www.rogerhallam.com/Roger's Personal Twitter - https://twitter.com/RogerHallamCS21His Book "Common Sense For The 21st Century" - https://www.amazon.com/Common-Sense-21st-Century-Nonviolent/dp/1645020002TIMECODES3:06 - Roger’s Background & The Research That Contributed To XR8:20 - How They Cultivated The Culture They Wanted Within XR12:27 - Their Expectations Before Launching XR & How They Were Met16:02 - His Reponse To Recent Scientific Projections Of Warming By 210020:48 - What % Of People Do You Need For Civil Resistance To Work26:00 - Why Citizens’ Assemblies Are The Solution After Generating Awareness31:00 - An Example Of A Successful Citizens’ Assembly35:38 - How Social Change Happens Through Human Emotion40:14 - Society vs Politics Vs Business vs Science44:09 - His Message To ListenersRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEExtinction Rebellion - https://rebellion.earth/'Why Civil Resistance Works' Book - https://www.amazon.com/Why-Civil-Resistance-Works-Nonviolent/dp/0231156839Citizens' assembly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_assemblyComplexity Theory - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity_theory_and_organizationsFridays For Future - https://www.fridaysforfuture.org/
KC is on one and comes out blazing in Roger's defense. JP would like to remind everyone Roge' is the spokesman for not-doing-the-end-of-the-world. This dank recording was thought lost to the vapors - until now. A few months back, Extinction Rebellion put Roger in time out. XR's conflict resolution process is corporate AF. Eye on the prize, people.
Bienvenue, vous êtes dans Le Sapping, le podcast du sens de l’Habit. Il est produit par Thegoodgoods, le 1er média mode & lifestyle éco-responsables. Je suis Victoire Satto et je reçois ici des femmes et des hommes qui agissent pour une mode de bon sens. Une mode écologique, socialement engagée, une mode inclusive qui respecte les identités et la diversité, une mode qui innove pour devenir meilleure. Cet épisode est réalisé en partenariat avec Première Vision Paris, évènement majeur qui réunit deux fois par an les 6 métiers socles de la création mondiale de vêtements. Sa mission est aujourd’hui de donner la voix aux solutions en faveur de la transition écologique de l’industrie. Thegoodgoods est fier d’être partenaire de l’édition Printemps été 2021 du 11 au 13 Février à Villepinte. Retrouvez toutes les infos sur www.premièrevision.com Nous avons tous des mentors dans la vie, des personnes dont les actions sont des exemples, dont la pensée nous inspire ou les paroles nous poussent à œuvrer au quotidien pour devenir une meilleure version de nous-même. Cet épisode a été pour moi l’occasion de rencontrer l’un des miens. Une femme dont la beauté d’âme est au moins égale à l’apparence, dont le discours est honnête et les engagements mesurables depuis des années dans la mode. Arizona Muse est un mannequin international qui n’a jamais oublié qu’elle est aussi un être humain. Activiste environnemental, elle s’est donné une mission : éveiller les consciences des acteurs de l’industrie au sujet de l’urgence climatique. Son approche est informée, pédagogique et toujours humble. Très vite, elle a compris qu’un discours instruit basé sur des faits scientifiques était la clef pour convaincre et qu’il valait mieux être force de proposition que d’opposition pour faire avancer les marques dans le bon sens. Au sein d’une industrie dont la transition est balbutiante, un coming out green était risqué. Comment a t’elle fait pour se faire entendre sans en être évincée ? Comment se cultive t'elle sur le sujet ? Qu’est ce que ça change à son rapport aux marques et aux vêtements ? Par quoi commencerait-elle si elle était PDG d’une grande enseigne ou d'un média ? Comment s’engage t’elle aux côtés d’Extinction Rebellion ? Les 5 mot-clefs à cet épisode : intelligence, bonté, optimisme, apprentissage et humanité. Un immense merci à Arizona, merci à vous d’écouter ce podcast, Très bonne écoute !

Welcome, you're listening to Le sapping, a French Podcast On Responsible Fashion edited by Thegoodgoods, the first french media dedicated to sustainability. My name is Victoire Satto and I welcome here the builders of a better fashion industry : ecological and socially engaged, inclusive, diverse and led by positive innovations. This episode is produced in partnership with Première Vision Paris, a major event bringing together twice a year the 6 professions of the global clothing industry. Today, Première Vision highlights solutions for an ecological transition. Thegoodgoods is proud to be an official media partner of the Spring-Summer 2021 edition taking place the 11, 12 and 13 of next February. You will find all the informations on www.premièrevision.com We all have role-models in life, people whose actions are examples, whose thoughts inspire us or words push us daily to become a better version of ourselves. This episode was an opportunity for me to meet one of mine. A person whose beauty of soul is at least equal to appearance, with a honest speech and commitments measurable for years in the fashion industry. Arizona Muse is an international model who has never forgotten to act as a human being. She is an environmental activist and has given herself a mission: raise the awareness of the industry about the climate emergency. Her approach is well-informed, educational and humble, always. Very quickly, she understood that scientifical facts were the key to convince. She likes to encourage better than to blame. In this sometimes dark and dirty industry, a green coming out was risky. How did she manage to be heard and not ousted? How does she educate herself on the topic? What has changed in her relationship with brands and clothing? Where would she start if she was CEO of a large brand or a media? How does she get involved with Extinction Rebellion? The 5 keywords of this episode : smart, kindness, optimism, learnings and humanity. A huge thank you to Arizona, and to you for listening to this podcast, ENJOY !

Roger Hallam is a PhD researcher on civil disobedience at King's College London and an organic vegetable farmer. He has been a vegan for 34 years. In 2018 he co founded Extinction Rebellion. He has also just authored a terrific short book called Common Sense for the 21st Century: Only Nonviolent Rebellion Can Now Stop Climate Breakdown and Social Collapse. His website is rogerhallam.com
Panel discussion with Prof. Rupert Read, Roger Hallam and Marc Lopatin. Chaired by Anita McNaught at Byline Festival (Pippingford Park, England) August, 2019..
Extinction Rebellion (XR) rufen auf radikal zu werden - zum Schutz des Klimas. Rebellieren, bevor es zu spät ist. Weil die Klimakrise die größte Bedrohung unserer Zeit ist. Wir sprechen mit Annemarie Botzki. Zusammen mit Sina Kamala Kaufmann und Michael Timmermann hat sie das Handbuch der Rebellion geschrieben: „Wann wenn nicht wir*“. Wir wollen von ihr wissen, warum Extinction Rebellionen radikale Maßnahmen ergreift und welche konkreten Ziele damit erreicht werden sollen. Wir reden über die Relativierung des Holocausts durch XR-Mitgründer Roger Hallam, für den der organisierte Massenmord an den Juden nur „just another fuckery“ der Geschichte ist. Wir reden über Parlamentarismus und Bürgerräte. Das Handbuch der Bewegung „Wann wenn nicht wir*“ versammelt Fakten über bereits sichtbare Folgen der Klimakrise und ruft zum Handeln auf. Nachvollziehbar und konkret erklärt es, wie sich das Rebellieren organisieren lässt: Von der gewaltfreien Kommunikation über das Errichten von Straßenblockaden und die Vorbereitung anderer Protestaktionen bis hin zum Kochrezept für mehrere hundert Menschen.
This first episode of Uprise Radio aired on 20/09/19 - the day of the Global Strike for Climate - and weeks before Extinction Rebellion (XR) lauched their October Spring Rebellion, a program of non-violent civil disobediance around Australia. This episode looks at the history of Extinction Rebellion, its success in Europe and its organisational aims and modes. Hosts Jackson and James are also joined at the 20 minute mark by Dr Christine Canty, an XR Families Organiser to talk about non-violent direct action, children and the climate crisis and disrupting business as usual. Also featuring the voices of Zane Alcorn, Greta Thunberg, Roger Hallam and Gene Sharpe, and music from Jimmy Cliff, Elf Transporter, 1975 and Big Thief.
The co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, Roger Hallam, visited Amsterdam in August 2019 to give a talk and inspire locals to join in their global movement to the oncoming climate crisis. Broadcast Amsterdam asked Roger tell us what it’s all about and asked him some tricky questions. (Also broadcast on Broadcast Amsterdam radio station, https://broadcastamsterdam.nl.)
Back in 2015, the nations of the world made a formal commitment to keep global warming below 2 degrees centigrade. So much for fine words; global greenhouse gas emissions are still rising. The data suggest the planet is warming at an alarming rate. What to do about it? Stephen Sackur interviews Roger Hallam, the co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, a movement dedicated to mass resistance and civil disobedience; how far are these climate rebels prepared to go?

Extinction Rebellion co-founder Roger Hallam joins me to discuss the organisational model of XR. We also chatted about the booklet Roger has written on the strategy of XR - 'Common Sense for the 21st Century: Only Nonviolent Rebellion Can Now Stop Climate Breakdown and Social Collapse'. And finally we also discussed the criticism XR has come in for regarding its tactics of mass arrest and a perceived failure to properly engage with people and communities of colour.

In October 2018 in the UK, a small socio-political group called Extinction Rebellion was born. Launched by Roger Hallam, Gail Bradbrook, Simon Bramwell, and other activists from the campaign group Rising Up!, their aim was to communicate with, and put pressure on, our governments to take the necessary action to avert climate breakdown, halt biodiversity loss, and minimise the risk of human extinction and ecological collapse. In the brief window of time since their inception, XR has become a global movement that has not only given citizens a voice and enabled large-scale acts of peaceful civil disobedience, but also contributed to the decision of governments declaring a climate emergency, paving the way for the legislative change needed to tackle this crisis. This episode, I talk with Liam Geary Baulch, Creative Actions Coordinator at Extinction Rebellion, about why this movement is necessary, what progress has been made, and what vision of the world it hopes to achieve.

In positive news Extinction Rebellion founder Roger Hallam was cleared by a jury over his King's College protest, the Committee on Climate Change believes that the UK 'can cut emissions to nearly zero' by 2050, Greta Thunberg addressed MPs and the UK Parliament subsequently declared a climate change emergency. On a more challenging note, Cressida Dick, Metropolitan Police Commissioner, called for stronger penalties for demonstrators, the Committee on Climate change warned that it might be necessary to curb the growth in UK flying while the Environment Agency predicted that flooding caused by the climate crisis could force some UK towns to be abandoned. And then there's that flying taxi...
This episode is the first of several 'podlets', produced from London as part of this week's International Rebellion. It's shorter than one of our usual podcasts, but should give you a taste of what it's like to be part of an Extinction Rebellion action! With thanks to Roger Hallam, Jessica Townsend, Marijn van de Geer, Dave Stitch, Tom G, Tommy K, and Barney Weston.
Kevin and Guy were joined for a few minutes by citizen journalist extraordinaire Kiwi Robin Westenra of the Seemorerocks blog, robinwestenra.blogspot.com. Most of this episode is committed to a discussion with Wales organic farmer Roger Hallam of the Extinction Revolution.
We grabbed the opportunity to catch up with Extinction Rebellion's Dr Gail Bradbrook and Roger Hallam, together with Teddy - one of the campaign's younger members - as they made preparations for Extinction Rebellion's press conference in a busy (and quite noisy!) London pub. We apologise for the sound quality but, we hope, the message will still be crystal clear!Extinction Rebellion is a campaign by the network. It aims to promote a fundamental change of our political and economic system to one which maximises well-being and minimises harm. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
