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 33: The true cost of AI and a COP replacement?
In this episode, Clare and Charlie discuss the first Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels conference held in Santa Marta Colombia in April 2026. They also look at what data centres and a booming AI industry means for the environment and beyond.
