    Episode 3: Why I No Longer Favor Working Through the System

    Episode 3: Why I No Longer Favor Working Through the System

    It's become clear that the system is aligned with Big Oil and against us, against our children and against our planet. They want to maximize profits and humans and the Earth are simply tools to earn more money. Neither has any value in our neoclassical plutocracy. We must defy the system, refuse to obey, and use smart non-violent tactics if we want a future for our children and our species. Here's how I came to that conclusion and what we must do next.

    Episode 2: The COP Meetings - 28 Years of Failure

    Episode 2: The COP Meetings - 28 Years of Failure

    The authorities have held 28 consecutive international climate meetings, called Council of Parties, or COP. All of these meetings have accomplished nothing: CO2 emissions are increasing and there is literally not even a plan to effectively deal with the crisis.

    We intend to go beyond those meetings, and those worse than useless so-called authorities and leaders. We intend to work with people of competence and ability to address the crisis—notably climate scientists. Our hope for the future is with US—sane and caring people ready to act over the heads of the systems and people who hold—and abuse—formal authority. Here's our view.

    Episode 1: The Alternative to Our Evil Society Isn't Chaos and Nihilism. It's LIFE.

    Episode 1: The Alternative to Our Evil Society Isn't Chaos and Nihilism. It's LIFE.

    Political and corporate leaders would have you believe that they have things under control and that the only alternative to THEIR way is chaos. That's a lie. Their way, the way we are going, we are cooking the Earth and dooming our children and other species and the entire biosphere that sustains us. The only real alternative is to ditch their ways and adopt a science-based emergency plan to prevent climate collapse. That's we we intend to do and YOU can (and should) join us.

    Episode 12: The Meaning of "Emergency"

    Episode 12: The Meaning of "Emergency"

    The leaders in business and government worldwide have failed catastrophically to address the existential climate crisis in a meaningful way. They want things to stay as they are—even though this is impossible. They like the current situation because they are on top, they get their way. They are hoarding wealth and power. They have inflated egos to protect. But WE will protect the Earth and our children.  We recognize the emergency and will address it—over the objections of the people who are nominally in charge.

    Episode 11: Why the Powerful Climate Destroyers Are Vulnerable

    Episode 11: Why the Powerful Climate Destroyers Are Vulnerable

    Maybe the reason climate activists—and ordinary people who love their children and Nature—have not yet launched an effective movement is that the opponent is too strong. Wealthy businessmen and governments have huge resources at their disposal. Destroying the planet for wealth and power is a private-public partnership. What can ordinary people with no formal authority and limited resources do? As it turns out, the powerful are vulnerable and the so-called powerless people can win. Completely.

    Episode 10: Guidelines For the Cllimate Emergency Team

    Episode 10: Guidelines For the Cllimate Emergency Team

    The movement, The Saners, seeks to put together a team of climate scientists to develop (and then implement) a worldwide emergency program to prevent the collapse of the biosphere. We want our children to inherit a stable and habitable planet—even though it will be a damaged one. What will this team of scientists do? What are our instructions to them? How will this team and their plans—even their preliminary plan—help our movement to succeed?
