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 30: Floods, Zack Polanski, community organizing, and biofuels
In this episode Clare and Charlie tackle a new report that looks at how vulnerable the UK is to future flooding, the rise of Zack Polanski and community organizing, and why biofuels are not the answer.
