Welcome to Jacobin Radio, I'm Susie Weisman today with Ansar Feazadin, a theoretical physicist and writer. He has a new article on Geoengineering as an approach to mitigate the climate disaster that Ansar says offers a false

solution filled with fallacies bound to create unforeseen consequences. Ansar's critique is

lucid and devastating and he argues that consequences. will further entrench us in a deeply eco-destructive mode of life.

He finds hope in the social movements demanding fundamental change,

and that means not just a Green New Deal,

but conceiving the possibility of the end of capitalism.

And then Linda Farthing joins us for the very first time.

She's a Bolivia-based journalist and writer, and she brings us an account and analysis of what has happened in the two-plus

months since the coup that ousted President Abel Morales and sent him into

exile. We'll get her insights on what led to the coup, who's reaped the benefits,

and what has happened to the largely indigenous social movements that propelled

David Morales to power and now face a horror show of violence.

All this, when Jacobin Radio returns in just a moment.

I'm Susie Weisman. This is Jacobin Radio and I'm pleased to have Anstar Feazadin with us and I'll explain in a minute but as we enter 2020 the climate crisis continues to

get worse each new scientific report gives an even more dire picture of the

crisis than the previous one showing that it's

accelerating faster than we previously believed. Now we've just had these fires

consuming large parts of Australia radically disrupting the lives of millions, and that's

perhaps the starkest case in point that we've ever experienced. And I've been

wanting to do a program on climate change for a long time and came across this incredibly

lucid article by Ansarfeasadine and I've called him up and he is a theoretical physicist who works at a research journal in high energy physics

on SARS done research at Stockholm University, Harvard and Brandeis and he taught at Cune.
