Description
The climate crisis seems to be unfolding faster than ever before — with catastrophic floods, winter wildfires, and last summer’s killer heat. It’s becoming increasingly hard to mentally set climate aside as a future problem — it is here, real in our present moment.
How do we grapple with the weight of these changes, and process our fear for what is coming for us, and for the next generation? And how do those emotions affect our decisions about whether or not to have children, who in many ways represent an embodied version of our hope for the future?
Guests:
Daniel Sherrell, Author, Warmth, Coming of Age at the End of Our World
Seb Gould, physics teacher
Irène Mathieu, pediatrician and poet
Virginie Le Masson, co-director of the Centre for Gender and Disaster at University College London
