Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Baroness Natalie Bennett– Have The Green Party Abandoned The Environment For A Far-Left Political Agenda?
Q: How do you respond to claims that the Greens have adopted a far-left agenda?
Policy hasn't changed much; the party remains committed to environmental goals while expanding into social and economic issues, as part of a broader reform agenda that emphasizes fairness and system change.
Interview with Dr Jennifer Francis - El Nino 2026 Is Really Bad News!
Q: Do you think we're getting closer to a sort of social threshold where it gets very hard for people to bounce back from climate impacts?
Dr. Francis agrees that the situation is worsening and more individuals are affected directly, emphasizing the need for localised discussions on climate impacts.
Interview with Dr Jennifer Francis - El Nino 2026 Is Really Bad News!
Q: From your perspective, what is different about the El Niño forecast for later this year compared with the last one?
Dr. Francis clarifies that while El Niño cycles are natural fluctuations, the current backdrop of climate change has changed significantly, leading to more intense climate events influenced by rising greenhouse gas levels.
A Blank And Pitiless Stare– Confronting The Inhuman, Interview with author and founder of the Climate Psychology Alliance, Paul Hoggett.
Q: Can you explore the term desk killers and the parallels between historical genocide and current environmental destruction?
Yes, desk killers represent complicity in systematic destruction, similar to how current bureaucratic roles contribute to ecological harm.
A Blank And Pitiless Stare– Confronting The Inhuman, Interview with author and founder of the Climate Psychology Alliance, Paul Hoggett.
Q: Can you talk us through what these forms of inhumanity are?
Certainly, one form of inhumanity involves cold indifference to suffering, while the other relates to a sort of perverse joy in destructive actions, evident in industries like oil.
