Are we thinking about climate breakdown in the wrong way?

As we face the concurrent threats of pandemics, climate change, and other existential threats, I spoke with Dougald Hine, author of "At Work in the Ruins: Finding Our Place in the Time of Science, Climate Change, Pandemics and All Other Emergencies," to discuss how perceptions are changing in response to these challenges.

Did we become overly reliant on a science-based solutionist paradigm to conceptualise these crises? Is modernity itself in crisis? Are local activist groups like Extinction Rebellion able to take the lead on climate mitigation?
