The Take

Is climate rebellion the future?


Listen Later

Note: The Take is on hiatus for August, so this is our last episode until September. We’ll send out an update ahead of our first episode back.

Peter Kalmus is a US climate scientist who’s fed up with inaction. Back in April, he chained himself to a bank in protest with a group called Scientist Rebellion. Now, during yet another hot summer, with Russia’s war in Ukraine and the ensuing global energy crisis, are growing protests like Peter’s the future? We hear from people demanding – and taking – radical action from around the globe.

In this episode: 

  • Peter Kalmus (@ClimateHuman), climate scientist at NASA
  • Anote Tong, former president of Kiribati
  • Lucia Newman (@lucianewman), Latin America editor for Al Jazeera English  
  • ​​Monica Villamizar (@monica_vv), journalist with Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines
  • Karim Elgendy (@NomadandSettler), fellow at Chatham House
  • Saleemul Huq (@SaleemulHuq), Director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development
  • Nisar Majid, research associate at the London School of Economics
