Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip Just Stop Oil's JAMES SKEET (Climate Solutions For Realists miniseries Part 1) #612
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This is part 1 of an April-long miniseries curated by Pip entitled 'Climate Solutions For Realists'.
Our first guest is JAMES SKEET of JUST STOP OIL.
You likely had an instant reaction when you saw 'Just Stop Oil'. You may have also felt something when you saw the name of the miniseries centred around climate. But is it something you've heard about first hand? And - like many of us - has it just been too much to take on board?
What's important to know is that nothing you'll hear this month in this selection of episodes will be a constant tell-off-athon or be led by people shaking their heads at you in judgement. For one thing that would suck and be no fun whatsoever for anyone, but for another that simply achieves nothing either. In this episode, you'll hear from James who is fighting a fight, believe it or not, for the good of all of us and the world.
There will be points including how oil companies infiltrate their way into laws which affect us all, how social change requires discomfort, and the situation we're currently in.
Of course it's an immensely difficult and bundled up layer-heavy conversation with a huge amount of feelings, thoughts, opinions and perspectives. But without listening to James, you're missing out on a really crucial voice in all of this. So please, wherever you stand on the issue (no judgement, as said), take this episode on board. It's fascinating and you're also hearing him in a context not often offered either - this isn't James in defence mode. This is information delivery combined with conversation. Listen, share if you feel it, and let's see what we can do with all this.
