Why climate justice can’t happen without racial justice: The climate conversation is changing; a more inclusive, diverse and equitable story around climate is emerging, with race at the centre. This week’s extra special guest Member of Parliament for Tottenham and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice David Lammy explains that the fight for racial justice is critical to saving the planet. He urges us to reframe the climate debate and see it as a humanitarian crisis: “this in the end is not just about saving the planet. It's about the people on the planet. And the people on the planet bearing the brunt of it are black,” David explains. On this episode of Climate Curious by TEDxLondon tune in with co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst as they discuss why we need more black representation in the climate conversation, interrogate why if you care about identity, race, gender or equality you should also care about climate, and explore how we can all join the dots between racism and climate to by Climate Curious

Ep. 84 - Bitterly Cold Global Warming ft. Richard Lindzen: A bitterly cold spate of global warming has struck the East Coast, freezing harbors and blanketing whole cities under its sweltry frost. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, this bomb cyclone occurs when a "cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, and despite the intense name the phenomenon is actually quite common, particularly in the northern Atlantic regions. But forget all the science mumbo-jumbo! The mainstream media have wasted no time in identifying the clear culprit behind the frigid cold front: global warming. Because weather is weather, not climate, except when it’s convenient for Democrats, in which case the weather becomes the climate. We’ll analyze this bitterly cold global warming with former MIT atmospheric physicist and catastrophic climate change skeptic Richard Lindzen. Then, This Day in History!
