Another Take: A radical antidote for climate despair

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on November 14, 2022. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. Fossil fuels are a time bomb, and humans are entitled to stop them. That’s the argument of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline,” a book by Andreas Malm calling for activist groups like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion to adopt radical tactics against the fossil fuel industry, including property damage. As COP27 enters its second week, greenwashing is rife, protest is limited, and fossil fuel emissions are still rising. After over a quarter-century of UN-sponsored talking, Malm argues it’s time for people to take action into their own hands. In this episode: Andreas Malm, author of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” and professor at Lund University Episode credits: This episode was updated by Tamara Khandaker. The original production team was Alexandra Locke, Negin Owliaei, Chloe K. Li, Ruby Zaman, and our host Halla Mohieddeen, in for Malika Bilal. Our sound designer is Alex Roldan. Our video editor is Hisham Abu Salah. Alexandra Locke is The Take’s executive producer, and Ney Alvarez is Al Jazeera’s head of audio.
