moderateflank.org feels like a real step in the right direction if everybody who listens to this can join up and begin to form local groups, i say. that's it for another week we will be back next week with another conversation huge thanks to Cara C for all of the sound production we've recorded four podcasts more or less back to back she's done them all so that faith and i can have a holiday. We are enormously grateful for that and for the music at the head and foot thanks to faith for organizing the holiday for the website and for the conversations that keep us moving forward.

Rupert Read is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, but he is also a Green party activist, and a prolific speaker, media spokesperson and author advocating for a wholehearted, whole-culture response to the Climate and Ecological Emergency.

A long-term friend of the podcast, Rupert joins us today to talk about his new book: 'Do You Want to Know the Truth: The Surprising Rewards of Climate Honesty' and to announce the launch of a new movement, the Moderate Flank, which aims to bring together a moderate majority of people who care deeply about anthropogenic climate change, but don't want to engage in polarising actions. In this deeply honest, raw episode, Rupert makes a passionate case for an anti-polarising movement which can engage people from all walks of life and furnish them with the tools for change that will help us to adapt to the coming changes - and to ensure that politically, economically, culturally, we create a more just, equitable - and regenerative - society that we can leave to the generations that come after us.
