HEALING THE EARTH1st June 2020Producer: Andy Britt Interviews: Vivien LangfordGuests:Greta ThunbergDr Tjanara Goreng GorengRev Glenn LoughreyBruce ShillingsworthVanessa PetrieRhys Anderson "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced" James Baldwin Greta Thunberg spoke to the EU parliament.. The speaker said "You meet politicians who take a photo with you and then do nothing." But make no mistake, "you are not at the white house with Donald Trump, you are not in Australia where the prime minister is " climatosceptique" You are in Europe! We are making the Green deal ."But Greta tells this huge assembly how we are deluding ourselves that we are taking climate action. How we are all pretending,pretending,pretending."We notice the house is on fire yet we go inside, go to bed and do not even call the fire brigade. Our targets for 2050 are wrong. We should have targets for 2020 and each year after that until the carbon emissions are right down."It's a humbling moment and humiliating for us to hear that everybody knows what an obstacle Australia is.There was a standing ovation. For healing we then talk to Dr Tjanara Goreng Goreng. She is a clinical psychologist and Songwoman.She has insights into endurance because Aboriginal people have already been through a holocaust. She wants transformational leaders brave enough to take bold climate action. She says " If you move beyond being ego centric, you can reach a higher level of thinking. I discovered a number of things that were unique to Aboriginal culture so that a person can navigate to that higher level." Bruce Shillingsworth spoke at the Transitions Film Festival about saving the water in the Darling Barker river. Carbon emissions are behind the drought but unfair draining of the water brings preventable suffering to wildlife and communities. He makes an impassioned appeal for us to defend the river, to supply water tanks and filters to communities that feel abandoned. He invites us to the second great Corroboree tour in September October to go to Bourke and Menindee and listen to the people. The film is " When the river runs dry" by Rory Mc Leod Rev Glenn Loughrey spoke on a panel about " Sustainable Nation". As a Wiradgeri man, minister and artist he talks about reading the land. It's had enough as the drought, fires and fish kills attest. We can notice these signs but how can we demand less and start the healing?. Vanessa Petrie CEO from BZE and Rhys Anderson water business leader from Arup talk about working in communities to build water and energy solutions that will endure and not cause future damage.

Derrick O'Keefe in Vancouver thinks we need to be far more ambitious. Instead of wanting to protect our children and grandchildren we need to believe in a future which is safe for at least the next seven generations. He wants to see writers and creative people put their minds to the future we can work towards. Some of the ideas we discuss are from The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Simon Walker found out about the march of Fireants from Reece Pianto. If you are wondering what is the connection with climate change you will be astounded. You can also get involved.

Since 2001, fire ants have maintained strongholds in and around Brisbane despite government efforts to eradicate them. With funding due to end in December 2024, federal and state agricultural ministers are convening to decide the fate of the eradication program. As the climate continues to warm, the spread of fire ants across Australia could bring disastrous results. Fears fire ants on march as eradication funding stalls | Riverine Herald A separate review of the eradication strategy found at least $3 billion would be needed over the next five years."We've essentially agreed to the plan going forward, but most of the jurisdictions have yet to go through their budget process to secure the funding," Senator Watt said."I couldn't really put a dollar figure on how much we'll spend over the next few years."More than $140 million was set aside in June by the NSW and Queensland governments.Fire ants are considered one of the world's most invasive species.

If you have never contacted the PM or your MP before, now is the time , according to all four of our guests. Extinction Rebellion will be escalating actions in Canberra as our Parliament sits. Their campaign is called (20+) Reclaim Our Future | Facebook Even if you are in lockdown you can phone MPs, Contact Your PM | Prime Minister of Australia or phone Scott Morrison's office on (02) 6277 7700. At a webinar from The Climate and Health Alliance I learned that . "Health professionals are far more concerned about climate change than the general public. They feel frustrated, outraged and sad when thinking about it". Apparently midwives are among the most alarmed. They want to talk about climate change but feel insufficiently informed . It was pointed out to us by Rebecca Huntley, that fossil fuel lobbyists are not so shy and that armed with information and support ,medical professionals are the most trustworthy messengers to convey positive messages about the health benefits of climate action.The "Real Urgent and Now" survey of Medical Professionals is worth reading and passing on RUN_Survey__September_2021c.pdf (d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net)Meanwhile in London Doctors protest outside JP Morgan offices to demand they end fossil fuel investments — Doctors for Extinction Rebellion (doctorsforxr.com)‘It’s my duty as a doctor’: XR medics glued to bank demand end of fossil fuel investment | The Independent We speak to Rob Eisenberg whose day job is as an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon and A.

He was motivated to create Vote Earth Now by his belief that we must make our government more accountable.Just one click and you can send a message to the political parties that you are a climate voter Vote Power - Vote Earth Now . Let them know you are watching how they ramp up their climate plans before Glasgow. At a global level there will also be pressure on Fossil Fuel Producing nations to wind back their industry. The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (fossilfueltreaty.org) is a breath takingly well connected new organisation. They will be at Glasgow arguing that it's not just getting emissions down we need, but phasing out the production of coal oil and gas. The UN Report about the production gap between Paris committments and what the fossil fuel industry is actually planning will put out a new edition before Glasgow.2020 Home - Production Gap report shows that global fossil fuel production needs to fall by 6% each year from 2020.Meanwhile the industry is planning at least a 2% INCREASE and Australia is actively signing up new countries for locking in long term coal and gas use. Feeling the Heat | Australian Foreign Affairs, We speak to Rebecca Byrnes from The Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty about phasing out subsidies and investing in a transformational plan to ensure 100% access to clean energy on a global scale.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWOCTOBER 30THProduced by Vivien Langford PLAYING GOD WITH THE CLIMATE "Artificial Intelligence and the latest technological innovations start with the notion of the human being with no limits, whose abilities can be infinitely expanded thanks to technology, a paradim which monstrously feeds upon itself" Pope Francis Laudate Deum.Guests:Thea Ormerod - Chair of ARRCC- ARRCC Winton Higgins - Author, Holocaust scholar and secular BuddhistRevamp Writings on Secular Buddhism — Winton Higgins This show is dedicated to the late Professor Saleemul Huq OBE. He was a friend of this show always willing to do an interview and a major figure in the world of climate action.Once he was on the phone from Dhaka and in the 3CR studio with me was a Dutch expert on flood control.Dr Huq was so enchanted that he invited the Dutchman to a conference in Bangla Desh there and then.Later he showed a deep compassion inspired by his Muslim reverence for life, when talking of the Rohyngia refugees stumbling at that time in from Myanmar. He said we will find a place for them . Each of those children has a future.I think he was on the same page as Pope Francis and was not afraid to call out the climate criminals who continue to export and expand the use of coal oil and gas. He saw their callous disregard for humanity. At the COP meetings he networked among the climate vulnerable nations to get an agreement on loss and damage. He said this was not foreign or adaptation aid. It was a payment from the world to compensate the losses they were suffering daily.He was proud of the adaptation measures taken by Bangla Desh. They used to lose thousands in cyclones or floods but now they have shelters on high ground where people can go with their livestock. Students are assigned to elderly or disabled people to assist them to the shelters and volunteers with loud hailers alert everyone. He said after the recent European floods that we could all learn from Bangla Desh to read the signs and take protective action. I have learned a lot from his example, His death at 71 is a great loss to all of us who try to keep our feet on the ground, promoting climate actions that have justice and care at their core.Hear his voice here:Bangladesh revisited | 3CR Community RadioBANGLADESH - DR SALEEMUL HUQ | 3CR Community RadioLOSS AND DAMAGE and MOVING BEYOND COAL | 3CR Community RadioRead the Letter signed FRANCIS here:Laudate Deum": Apostolic Exhortation to all people of good will on the climate crisis (4 October 2023) | Francis (vatican.va)

PHILOSOPHICAL HEART OF THE RESISTANCEVIVIAN HARRIS - CLIMATE ACTION NOW ACTIVIST AT WEEK 71 OF HER REMINDER TO BEGA AUTHORITIESJO DODDS - BUSHFIRE SURVIVORS FOR CLIMATE ACTION /EMERGENCY LEADERS FOR CLIMATE ACTION.ROUNDTABLE A new relationship with the forest is emerging after fires worse than those in the Amazon spread the length of The Great Dividing range in 2019/2020. The Eden Monaro By election in July, polarised people into the old blame game about hazzard reduction. Some blamed greenies for not wanting any, others blamed loggers for creating hazzards with the debris and flammable new growth they leave behind. At the Emergy Leaders for Climate Action Summit, Greg Mullins said "We need to stop being such control freaks and develop trust. Climate change is drying out the land and making everything worse." We need to put resources behind the traditional knowledge holders without trying to control them. We hear from Dan Morgan who explains how cultural burns start slowly so the birds and insects can smell the smoke. Then he talks about learning to read the message from the indicator species . In the video you will see land he has helped protect near Tathra. When the major bushfire went through Tathra, the land that had been managed in the traditional way were not detroyed.See Dan in this ABC video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM72NtXxyLs(link is external)https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-14/traditional-owners-predicted-bushfire-disaster/11700320(link is external)https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/land/aboriginal-fire-management(link is external) Locals told me "Go to "Cafe Evolve" it's the centre of the resistance. Peter Haggar, the owner takes us on a deep dive into the philosophy behind a new relationship with the forest. We talked about the quote on their wall which said"When our worldview is nolonger compatible with our knowledge of the world, isn't it wiser to alter our worldview rather than altering the facts?"Peter talks about local people still in shock, living in tents, un sure how to make themselves safe in the future. He says they have had an existential shock and although many voted for the old solutions, many more are seeking something new. He was influenced by an Australian Philosopher Val Plumwood who wrote "Feminism and the mastery of nature"Peter Haggar sees pluralism as the way forward. So even for city people, any stand for the plurality of gender, race or class is part of the same battle for the diversity of nature. The cultural management of land involves learning about hunderds of bio regions and how to deal with them, so learning to read the land like this is urgent climate action. .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Plumwood(link is external) Vivian Harris was on week 71 of her her stand in front of Bega valley Council and before that the local MP under a Banner saying "CLIMATE ACTION NOW". She talks about the people who sit down to chat with her. Some are worried about their grand children, some are in denial of the science but all have been awed by the drought and bushfires. Despite her shyness she has learned courage from Greta Thunberg and the ripples from her non confrontational presence are felt in other communities like Geelong, where she connects via social media with people making a stand. Jo Dodds is famous for standing up to PM Turnbull after the Tathra Fires telling him Now is the very time we should be talking about climate change" She is now involved in taking the EPA to court with Bushfire survivors for Climate Action.https://www.facebook.com/bushfiresurvivors/(link is external)They want to work with Matt Keane to develop adequate policies around climate change to prevent worse disasters. She talks about the smoke related deaths and the psychological trauma of prolonged fire. As Co Chair of the NSW Roundtable on Emergency Leaders for climate action she also sees the urgent need to restore year long forest management in Yuin Country and a new relationship with the forest.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-30/fossil-fuel-industry-levy-should-pay-for-bushfire-impact-report/12503114(link is external)https://www.smh.com.au/national/firefighting-tactics-should-change-as-climate-warms-say-fire-chiefs-20200729-p55gom.html(link is external)

MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW - JULY 19TH 2021PRODUCED BY Vivien LangfordMINISTRY FOR THE FUTUREEpisode 1 - HEATWAVES(161) Gravitas: Canada heatwave: 1 Billion sea animals dead - YouTubeThe Marine Heatwave washing up millions of clams, star fish and mussels dead on the beaches of Vancouver prompted me to call Alex Smith, the host of Radio Ecoshock. Then I called David Rovics about his new song "116degrees in Portland Town". We discuss why the connection between our exported coal and gas and their exported oil and tar sands is not made front and centre in the present tragedy.Their raw response illustrates the urgent question motivating KIm Stanley Robinson's novel: What will motivate us to take the necessary climate action? We start with Mark Spencer reading an extract from the first chapter of Ministry for the Future. He takes us to India, where the combination of heat and humidity creates a tragedy, which leaves the hero traumatised. The political effect of millions of deaths prompts a change of government .Lizzy Maddox reads part of the chapter where a pilot describes his seven months of aerosol spraying to create something like the effect of a Mt Pinatubo Volcanic eruption. This is speculative fiction, but in the current crisis we need to draw on the imagination as well as the science. There are cameo appearances from Kim Stanley Robinson and Dr Liz Hanna. She explains why the combination of humidity and heat , the wet bulb effect, is such a killer.If you like this format of science, fiction and on the ground reporting please let us know at Radio 3CR - 21 Smith St Fitzroy. Victoria Australia GUESTS:Alex Smith - 2021 Radio Ecoshock Show – RADIO ECOSHOCKDavid Rovics - Download - New song: "116 Degrees" | PodbeanMark Spencer - Publisher and Podcaster at Climactic CollectiveLizzy Maddox - Musician, teacher and climate warrior.Dr Elizabeth Hanna - World expert on Heatwave impacts on Health Climate Media Centre | Dr Elizabeth (Liz) HannaKim Stanley Robinson - (161) Kim Stanley Robinson on his book "The Ministry for the Future" - YouTube The US is experiencing 'wet bulb' heat, which can be deadly even to healthy people (msn.com) Marine Biologist Chris Harley “If we don’t like it we need to work harder to reduce emissions”Nowhere is safe, say scientists as extreme heat causes chaos in US and Canada | Climate change | The Guardian World ‘must step up preparations for extreme heat’ | Climate change | The Guardian A doctor in Pakistan describes how it feels. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/commentisfree/2021/jul/04/in-karachi-hot-weather-is-normal-but-44c-feels-like-youre-going-to-die Referring to the heatwave in the north-west, President Biden said the US needed stronger infrastructure to prepare for extreme weather. Katharine Hayhoe, a Canadian climate scientist at Texas Tech University, said human emissions had loaded the climate dice by making heatwaves earlier, longer and stronger. She cited studies and government reports showing Canada was warming twice as fast as the rest of the world and monthly higher temperatures were being broken three times more frequently than cold temperature records.“I’ve worked with climate projections for 25 years so we knew this was coming: yet it’s still a shocker when you see these records falling in real life in a place you’re from,” she tweeted.

This is a theatrical and intense episode. We use KS Robinson's novel as a springboard to explore the themes of being overwraught with insufficient leadership. What are the many ways forward?It starts with a dramatised reading of the chapter where the head of the ministry, Mary Murphy, is kidnapped by Frank. He is a man traumatised by the great Indian heatwave which left millions dead. As he paces her Zurich apartment she thinks"His presence in her kitchen was all too much like one of her insomniac whirlpools of thought, as if she had stumbled into one of her nightmares while still awake, so that she couldn't get out of it."Then the actors and I discuss with psychologist Lyn Bender how leaders must accept these messengers from the climate frontlines and act with urgency, while remaining confident and resolute that we can repair the damage.The second item is Greta Thunberg at the 2021 Vienna Climate Summit. She tells leaders that they are pretending to change, pretending to take the science seriously, pretending to wage war on fossil fuels while opening up new oil pipelines, gas fields and coal mines. She says " The audience has grown wary, the show is over"Thirdly we go to Rutgers University to hear the author, Kim Stanley Robinson , talking about the hard things he had to say. The needle in the eye moments. Naomi Klein calls him a "possibilist" and talks about the sort of dystopian and escapist narratives we are hard wired for. Are we fascinated by the billionaires aiming to colonise space because we were brought up on Noah's Ark?

Here are some Greenpeace responses to the latest IPCC report launched at 6pmJoseph Moeno-Kolio, Greenpeace Head of Pacific, said:“The IPCC’s latest report leaves no doubt that the fossil fuel companies actively driving the climate crisis need to be stopped if Pacific people are to have any chance of living in safety and with some measure of dignity.”“The climate change genie can’t go back into the bottle. It’s too late to reverse so much of the damage the mining and burning of coal, oil and gas have already done to our beautiful islands but the world needs to do everything in its power to stop the climate crisis before it ends our entire way of life.”“There is a more than 50 per cent likelihood that 1.5 degrees of warming will be exceeded by the early 2030s under all scenarios. For a region already suffering the effects of 1.1 degrees of warming, this will be disastrous for our communities, our economies and our cultures.”“Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison met last week with Pacific leaders and committed to supporting the Pacific family. This report has found that if Morrison’s obsession with fossil fuels isn’t immediately ended, these words might one day be nothing more than an empty lament on the family tomb.”“For years, Pacific leaders have been calling on the world to follow the science and act on the causes of global heating. This latest report only further vindicates the awful truth: if we continue to burn fossil fuels, we burn through any chance of a safe, prosperous future.”David Ritter, CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific, said:“No more excuses and no more delays on climate change. This is decision time for every political and business leader in Australia. This is the issue on which you will be judged by history and by the children of Australia, whose futures are on the line.”“The IPCC Working Group 1 report makes it clear that we are out of control and accelerating towards disaster. Only if we make deep, rapid emissions cuts including the complete phase out of climate-destroying coal, oil and gas do we have a chance of making it to a safer, habitable future powered by clean energy.”“All decisions our leaders make from today must be informed by this knowledge.
