How to change the climate social fabric of society ft. Peter Kalmus
"I cannot go on with the knowledge of whatʻs coming without doing everything I can to stop it. I canʻt look away from this, and frankly, I donʻt understand people who can." Join us for a conversation with Dr. Peter Kalmus, a NASA climate scientist, also known as the climate activist who chained himself to Chase Bank in LA in 2022. Peter shares exactly how to make the climate movement more powerful than the fossil fuel industry, and what it means to change the climate social fabric of society. We touch on what climate disobedience is, how the media is falling short on communicating climate, climate disinformation and his personal journey with activism, ecoanxiety, and staying motivated. We answer questions like: How can we hold the folks responsible accountable? What is the best thing to do to take action? How do we co-create a resilient climate movement, and de-escalate divisions inside it? I loved hearing Peterʻs perspective, especially his own approach to attacking social norms and what he personally gains from his own activism experiences.
Keep an open mind, and join the climate party when youʻre done.
