A podcast where artists, musicians and web3 builders talk about the future. Hosted by Nick Hollins and produced by Apollo.SubscribeiTunes • Spotify • Everywhere • Lens • RSS Clare Farrell is a founding member of Extinction Rebellion. She’s an activist, artist, designer, communicator and organiser. If you’ve ever seen the Adam McKay movie ~ Don’t Look Up ~ with Leonardo Dicaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, in which an asteroid is found to be on a collision course with Earth, and the protagonists go on national tv news in America to try and raise the alarm, only to be met by the banal absurdity of how mainstream news works. Well, Clare Farrell has that role in real life as part of XR. She appears on TV to speak on behalf of this decentralised movement, especially when the show has potential to be a bit antagonistic. A surreal experience to find yourself in. It’s not the every day. In this episode we talk about Clare’s origins in fashion and design and creative activism, up to being part of the originating group of Extinction Rebellion in 2018. We discuss their demands for net zero carbon emissions by 2025, citizens assemblies and direct democracy, and reparatory justice for nations and people around the world most impacted by the climate crisis. We also talk about the non-functional political process, expanding police powers in the UK and Australia, and punitive jail sentences and fines being introduced to discourage peaceful protest. About the failings of mainstream media to even pretend they’re here to faithfully report the news and context of the world we’re living in, not just for the climate issue, and what this all means for us and the planet.Links Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK IT’S GONE 5PM AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE FAILED We asked you to show up, & you did. Across the 4 days, 100,000 people descended on Parliament to talk, to march, & to demand change. It was a historic moment with an unprecedented number of groups uniting, and you should be proud. 1,164 11:42 AM • Apr 24, 2023 The Big One's message to the government: 'You had your chance - now we're stepping it up' - Extinction Rebellion UKAt 5pm today (Monday) a deadline set by the UK's biggest-ever single-location, collaborative climate protest expired. Now more than 200 leading environmental and social justice groups, including Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, War on Want, Avaaz and Global Justice Now, will step up their campaigns to force the government to immediately tackle the accelerating climate emergency and social injustice.https://extinctionrebellion.uk Clare Farrell @ClareTotty Pollution that makes the world hotter impacts over centuries or decades, but pollution that contributes to cooling disappears in matters of days. Whats worse, almost nobody talks about it. Even though people have known about it for ages.

Here we used the abrupt reduction in anthropogenic emissions observed during the COVID-19 societal slow-down to characterize the aerosol masking effect over South Asia.https://www.nature.comSponsorsZerion combines every corner of web3 in a simple and intuitive app for self-custodial humans.
