Future histories - technology isn't neutral

from Earth Matters · host Presenter: Teishan Ahearne. Guest: Lizzie O'Shea

Can we simply innovate our way out of the present climate crisis? Or do technological fixes hide another problem - that of a deeply unequal and unjust world? Until we start to understand that climate change is a also political problem we may end up carrying the problems of the present into a clean energy future.Lawyer and writer Lizzie O'Shea argues that if we are going to have a just and democratic world we need to wrestle the future of technology away from the billionaires and tech-bros and put it into the hands of the people.Guest: Lizzie O'Shea.Earth Matters #1208 was produced by Teishan Ahearne.
