I wouldn’t normally link to Youtube (even if it is via Invidious) but this chat between Mike Berners-Lee and @GreenRupertRead on ways of tackling the #polycrisis is worth the 40 minutes of lughole infiltration. 👂

“There’s no way that politicians are ever going to lead us from the front through this, we have to push them into a position where they start to lead us.”

Global Futures: What can we do to effectively tackle the polycrisis? | Lancaster Univ. | Audio Only

“There is a brief and rapidly closing window…to prevent civilisational collapse” - Rupert Read. A vote was taken after I spoke, a straw poll: incredibly, the clear majority agreed with my assessment, a few thought I hadn’t gone far enough, and not one person thought that I had overegged the pudding. Across the UK in communities, workplaces and wherever they have power, people from all walks of life are organising the kinds of serious climate action that will make governments take notice. The Climate Majority Project is a rallying place for citizen climate action. We help projects to grow, get funding, and connect with as many willing hands as possible. https://ClimateMajorityProject.com https://twitter.com/GreenRupertRead https://RupertRead.net/ https://www.instagram.com/RupertRead/ https://www.facebook.com/GreenRupertRead/ https://RupertRead.substack.com/ https://www.tiktok.com/@GreenRupertRead
