The global climate strike looms, old naysayers naysay and paranoid politicians cling to conspiracy rhetoric. This is the late-game beginning of our transformation.

We talk the Global Climate Strike, Extinction Rebellion, Justin Trudeau, and coal.

This week we talk about the Amazon, Bolsonaro and the climate proposals of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang.

An interview with outgoing Executive Director of Cycle Toronto Jared Kolb. We discuss what he’s learned about activism in the nine years of leading and growing the organization, and how board games fit into it all.

We need to watch carefully how environmental rhetoric can turn authoritarian. This week we talk about climate change, eco-fascism, food security, environmental justice, the tar sands, and a whole bunch of energy utility stories.
