False Promises & Real Solutions: Part 2

Part two of a two part series with long time anti-geoengineering watch orgs—ETC Group & Friends of the Earth crew fighting against geoengineering and "net zero" greenwashing by global north governments, big fossil fuel industries and their neo-liberal allies.

In this episode Dipti Bhatnagar argues that big picture climate crisis is not just a technical problem and it can't be solved solely by technical solutions—but rather by people power & energy sufficiency through just transition.
