The data is in and your dedicated hosts are diving into SAFEGUARD 2: SAFE GUARDER the first season recap of the reformed and rebooted Safeguard Mechanism. SO, is it doing the job? Does it deserve the custom meme treatment from one T Reed inspired by everyone’s favourite holiday movie? Yippee Ki-Yay, Climatelovers! Time to Stay Positive as it is early days, overall emissions are down with movement up and down across facilities (see some criticisms in this Guardian article). One thing is certain though: this climate and energy podcast of record will continue to document progress! 

And if you want the thrilling backstory to SAFE GUARDER, check out our back catalogue episodes:

• ‘The Last Fire In The Forest’: The Safeguard Mechanism Consultation Paper
• New Dork Times: Chubb/Safeguard Special Double Report Report Special
• Safe Guard With A Vengeance

Our main paper

The first rule of system change is: don’t talk about system change! Unless you are Jeremy Oppenheim from the consultancy outfit Systemiq and authored ‘Shock Therapy: A strategic reset for the sustainability movement’ as part of its Blue Whale Inquiry. The pitch? We need a reset! Three climate shocks, seven hot ideas and abundance in a pear tree - this provocation of a paper packs a lot in! Your intrepid hosts eat this whale one mouthful at a time.

One more things

Tennant’s One More Thing is: an Alchemical Adventure at Conquest!

Frankie’s One More Thing is: an urge to bust out of the climate bubble, get some nature and some tunes! Hard recommend for Bluesfest for those musically inclined.

Luke’s One More Thing is: The prequel to a prequel to Star Wars: A New Hope: Andor. It is redolent with resonances with our current moment, and as an extra bonus you really don't need to be a Star Wars nerd.

And that’s all from us Summerupperers! Send your hot tips and suggestions for papers to us at [email protected] and check out our back catalogue at letmesumup.net.
