Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.

EPISODE 10: The problem with tree planting and insure our future

EPISODE 9: Finance + Physics = Climate Repair? Ft. Delton Chen

In this episode Clare and Delton Chen explore Delton's work on a concept of a global carbon reward, an economic concept which could provide a carrot and not just a stick in the field of international economic interventions. As with all these conversations with experts on solutions, Extinction Rebellion isn’t advocating for this above and beyond any other approaches. Hopefully looking at different options with the experts who propose them can help us to get a rounded view on what’s being proposed and what might be possible. We hope it sparks interesting thinking and reflections.
