Description
We did it, we finally got some time and a break in the news to do a climate change episode! Hooray! Come join Natalie, Rob, Matty, James, and Dan for a wonderful adventure into the burning hellworld that is our planet.
As well as a look at how capitalism ruins everything it touches, there's a dip into climate activism - from the mass engagement of Gen Z with FridaysforFuture, to the mass engagement of Extinction Rebellion activists with the police - a raft of potential solutions to climate change including the idea of the Green New Deal, and in place of Comment or Commentariat, a game of Capitalist or Supervillian (but I repeat myself)
