We know that the planet is warming. There will soon come a point where runaway global warming will have catastrophic consequences for our economies, society and the rest of the natural world. Urgent action is required. We assume that politicians have the power to solve the crisis. But what if this assumption is wrong? What if our democratic processes are incapable of responding to the climate crisis? What if politicians are incapable of taking the actions that are required? This episode explores political processes and the challenges of implementing radical social and economic change.

Light-hearted discussion on climate change, environmental collapse and the end of civilisation as we know it. For the last thirty years, international leaders have gathered to address the threat of climate change. Every year, there are bold proclamations and promises to take action. Yet, global temperatures continue to rise. What is going wrong? This podcast series exposes the flaws in the current response to the environmental crisis and challenges the key policies, beliefs and ideas that are driving the current, utterly ineffective response to the challenges that face us.
