A different twist on Ecoshock this week. We go radio active.
While major media goes into denial hyper-spin, the public and greens are making a difference.
You'll hear about the victories over insane expansion of coal-fired power plants in the United States. It's grass-roots, it's bigger than the anti-nuclear movement of the 70's, and it's grossly under-reported. Author Ted Nace explains the high-tech tools and old-fashioned grit that stopped the construction of at least 90 more coal plants in America. That's good news for the climate, and hope for us all.
Then we'll get a sneak preview from journalist and military specialist Gwynne Dyer. The military and politicians know climate is shifting much faster than anyone expected. Why haven't they told the public the truth?
In our second half hour, we'll get more from Gwynne, plus a look at climate campaigning around the world. Gavin Edwards, the departing Climate Campaign Director for Greenpeace International, tell us about action in Asia. And the response after the Copenhagen conference failure.
We start with America, where coal reserves are big enough to sink the planet.
Dr. Gwynne Dyer has a degree in military and Middle Eastern history. He's served in three navies, and advised military colleges from Sandhurst to Oxford. Dyer is also a famous war journalist, who lately dove into climate change, with a book and 3 part radio series called "Climate Wars."
Our speech clips were recorded at a presentation by Vancouver Community College Arts and Science, February 2nd, 2010. After interviewing many scientists, top politicians and generals, Dyer's first conclusion is chilling. Climate change is moving much faster than the public has been told.
In breaking news, Gavin Edwards told me he's taking a sabbatical to work on his Masters. The climate campaign will be directed by Stephan Brockman and, in a surprise return to Greenpeace, Tzeporah Berman. Tzeporah was the famous face of the Clayoquot and Great Bear Rain Forest campaigns, founder of both Forest Ethics and Power Up Canada.
