Adrian Buller is the author of The Value of a Whale on the illusions of green capitalism. He talks about how finance industry shapes our approach to climate change in a way that doesn't really serve us. Adrian: Green capitalist solutions often don't even you know pass the basic hurdle of curbing emissions or environmental degradation they claim to but beyond that they necessarily don't engage sort of with the messiness of politics where they try to evade them. Tech Won't Save Us airs every week at 9pm ET/PT on Power Smarks and 1am PT on Channel 4.
Paris Marx is joined by Adrienne Buller to discuss how the tech and finance industries are selling us false solutions to the climate crisis that are designed for their own benefit.
