EP.794: Global Climate Strike Special: What Are Extinction Rebellion’s Demands?
On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to a teacher who has joined Extinction Rebellion, Tim Jones about the Global Climate Strikes, what Extinction Rebellion’s demands are in fighting climate change, how democracy is central to the movement and the role of children and young people in the climate strikes. Next we speak to progressive Democratic candidate Lawrence Nathaniel, running in South Carolina’s SC-D2 district about a Green New Deal, the rise of AOC and the progressives in the party, how Alexandria Ocasio-Cotrez has changed the platform for a lot of young progressives, the DNC’s hostility towards progressivism and why he can no longer support Joe Biden. Finally we speak to Humphrey Milles, the founder of COPI and addresspollution.org about the true cost of Air Pollution on our NHS, its rising lethality, how Oxford Circus is one of the most dangerous places for air pollution and how it must be tackled.
STATEMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY:
“We share the passion young people and others have for tackling climate change. We are recognised at home and abroad for our world-leading action, as the first major economy to legislate for net zero emissions and as nominated hosts for next year’s crucial climate talks that will help us shape the climate agenda. And just today we have helped to secure enough clean energy to power seven million homes.
“For the first time, young people are also shaping our future climate policy through the Government’s Youth Steering Group. We encourage constructive engagement on the issue of climate change which doesn’t come at the expense of our children’s education or excessive disruption.”
