Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.
EPISODE 4: The shadowy companies holding back progress on climate
This episode Clare and Charlie dig deeper into the Atlas global network of think tanks, grateful for the journalism of Amy Westervelt and Geoff Dembicki for the long read in New Republic that helped sketch out the true reach and influence. The are not only shaping the discourse on the climate crisis, its causes and policy responses but increasingly influencing public conversation about activists, and even having a hand in legislating them out of their rights to protest. Relatedly, the leader of the UAE based COP this year (yes, the oil boss guy), has been working in partnership with mega PR and comms firm Edelman for well over a decade to greenwash his personal image and that of his country.
