Tracing the Roots of the Climate CrisisAuthor: Ben Cushing
This podcast explores some of the root causes of the climate crisis. But, maybe surprisingly, it doesnt spend very much time talking about the climate crisis itself. Instead, it examines the ways that climate change grows from the same root as other crises we face, including racial and gender injustice and economic exploitation and precarity. Each of the four chapters of this podcast will explore the roots of the climate crisis from different angles - ranging from a discussion of the consequences of the capitalist economic system, to an examination of the cultural stories that justify colonialism, genocide and slavery. And throughout, it will try to keep sight of our own agency to resist systems of power and to co-create alternatives to the way things currently are.
