In this second installment of a two-part episode of Extinction Rebellion Radio, Matthew Kearny and Alycee Lane discuss the empty promises of COP 26. Governments from around the world gathered in Glasgow to perform a ritual of talking about climate change while doing absolutely nothing to halt our unfolding climate crisis. As the world faces increasing climate catastrophes that displace millions, threaten our food supply, and compromise our health, leaders gathered not to phase out, but to phase down subsidies for oil and gas - an unapologetic prescription for extinction.
