In this full interview on the climate crisis, capitalism, and fossil fuels, journalist and academic Andreas Malm (How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Overshoot) joins economist Clara Mattei on the FREE Podcast to explain why capitalism keeps expanding fossil fuels, war, and risky climate “tech fixes” even as global warming passes critical limits.In this video, you’ll learn:• Why fossil fuel expansion keeps growing in the US, Europe, and the Global North after 1.5°C• How banks, asset managers, and sunk costs lock us into “business as usual” fossil fuel infrastructure• How the fossil economy is tied to militarism, colonialism, Gaza, and Palestine• Why geoengineering (solar radiation management, “parasol” schemes) is so dangerous, including the risk of “termination shock”• Two clashing “realisms”: one that protects capital, one that protects life and the climate• What climate justice movements in Colombia, Ecuador, Indigenous struggles, and Palestine are already doing to fight backThis is not a doom scroll. It’s a clear map of the madness — and of the people trying to shut it down at the root.#AndreasMalm #ClimateCrisis #Capitalism #FossilFuels #Geoengineering #stardust #Overshoot #claramattei #freepodcast ❤️ Subscribe for more conversations on democracy, justice, and economic emancipation:https://youtube.com/@FreeFreeForum📌 Watch, share, and join the FREE Forum: https://freefreeforum.org 🌱 Support FREE & Help Us Grow: https://freefreeforum.betterworld.org/campaigns/support-free🎧 Listen as a Podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/free-with-clara-mattei/id1828302105Connect with FREE: https://linktr.ee/FreeFreeForumSubstack: https://freefreeforum.substack.com/X: https://x.com/freefreeforum Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/freefreeforum.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freefreeforum/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freefreeforumFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FreeFreeForum00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:09 - Capitalism and Climate Change00:02:03 - State of Affairs00:02:11 - Investment in Fossil Fuels00:03:51 - Breaking with Mitigation00:04:54 - Sunk Costs00:05:24 - Structural Inertia00:08:55 - Militarism and Climate Change00:10:06 - Colonial Fossil Fuel Expansion00:13:49 - Need for Radical Action00:14:27 - Contrasting Realism00:20:00 - Solar Geoengineering Technology00:20:42 - Solar Geoengineering Technology and Its Dangers00:23:26 - Role of Grassroots Opposition00:25:04 - Colombia: A Beacon of Hope00:28:30 - International Solidarity and Future Actions00:31:42 - Conclusion
