Happy New Year!
Following the success of last year’s special episode, we're ringing in 2025 with another one from me in which I answer your questions about the podcast and the new project we've just launched, Planet: Coordinate.
Here are the questions I chose this year.
* Why is the world in crisis ? Is there a time to cease dissent and protest, to move toward strategy and dreaming of places to survive ?
* Why can't we achieve the scale required to address the urgency of the climate crisis?
* Why do we leave the climate crisis problem-solving in the hands of the problem-makers? Government is not designed, nor interested, in solve the climate crisis. We need to look for other climate heroes.
* What do you see, or hope for, as the necessary social structure after capitalism inevitably collapses. The second thought is: how on earth do 'we' transition to that, given the appalling mess we are in today?
* Thank-you Rachel for your inspired work throughout 2024. I will not be following the new project which looks to me to be another unnecessary travel jolly, burning yet more fossil carbons. I wonder how you justify this when we know we are on the backside slide of the carbon pulse?
* How can we reform and transform mainstream science so it can help solve the multi-crisis / polycrisis rather than make it worse as science is doing now?
* How do we fully dismantle the Domination Paradigm?
* How much fun can we have while attempting to save the planet?
Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it. Support the project with a paid subscription.
