This week, Briahna speaks to climate scientists and activists Peter Kalmus & Rose Abramoff about what to do when marching is not enough. Both were involved in a direct action event that resulted in their arrests earlier this month, and are encouraging a turn to non violent direct action as a way to push world-saving climate reforms. I asked them whether they feel groups like Sunrise that emerged as super radical have ultimately helped to cover for the Biden administration's failures, whether strategic property damage falls within the "non violent" category of activities, what the latest IPCC report warns, extreme Don't Look Up moments from the mainstream media, and whether there's finally some willingness in the mainstream to criticize Biden. It's a climate episode that will inspire you, not depress you.
