...with Chaitanya Kumar

For this episode we were in London at the Great Exhibition Road Festival with Chaitanya Kumar - a climate activist and senior policy advisor for the Green Alliance and previously with 350.org - on one of the hottest days of 2019. In this episode Chaitanya explains: why climate change is such a huge problem what the UK is doing to combat climate change what we as a society (rather than individuals) need to do to fight climate change what a positive (rather than ‘doom and gloom’) future could be like if we all act and answers questions including: apart from planting trees, what else can we do to use our land better and suck carbon out of the atmosphere? how will we heat our homes without gas boilers? is it true that if we don’t fix this problem the planet will go into the thermal runaway? why haven’t I heard these facts before?!
