40: A New Narrative of Progress with Helena Norberg-Hodge Part 2 of 5

Climate change has been in people's minds since Al Gore's efforts to expose the truth with his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" from a little over a decade ago. But what a lot of us don't know is that there are larger forces with far greater impact than us individuals. Corporations produce so much waste that even the great former U.S vice president had failed to address or even acknowledge it. Listen in this second part of a five-episode special with Helena Hodge as we uncover these larger forces and how the lack of acknowledgment and even awareness has bred the dominant narrative that it is us or human nature to blame for our world's deteriorating state. In this Episode, We Discuss:   The root causes of Climate Change The things that are looked over in a normal Climate Debate The impact of industry and its advancements to Climate Change How economies have been dependent on big business to the extent that big corporations have the power to influence a nation's trade policies How we can move on from self blame for this global crisis The bigger things we can do other than planting trees to save our planet   Follow Helena Hodge: Instagram @helenanorberghodge Twitter @helenanhodge Facebook @HelenaNorbergHodge --- Did you enjoy today's episode?
