Nick Oldridge is on a mission to get all 650 UK MPs into Westminster Central Hall for the National Emergency Briefing - a crucial wake-up call about the climate crisis happening in just 23 days from recording. As the co-founder of Climate Science Breakthrough, which created viral videos featuring comedians like Joe Brand and Jonathan Pie translating climate science, Nick knows how to break through the noise.

In this episode, we dive into:

Why the UK's claimed 50% emissions reduction is "clever accounting" that doesn't include major sources like Drax power station, aviation, or imported goods.

The eight expert speakers who'll deliver 10-minute TED-style talks covering everything from food security to NHS collapse to national security threats.

How comedy became the unexpected vehicle for climate communication - and why Joe Brand's appearance on Good Morning Britain marked a turning point

The shocking perception gap: people think net zero will cost 28% of GDP when it's actually just 0.2% - or £1.30 per person per week.

Why shifting to a plant-rich diet could free up land the size of Scotland and why the economic benefits of reaching net zero would save the UK £37 billion annually

Nick's "one-way gate" moment with climate scientist Kevin Anderson that transformed him from observer to activist, leading him to invest his children's inheritance into climate action

The power of ending on positive solutions, from renewable energy to nature recovery, and why "movement is a message"
