Description

This year elections are taking place across the globe covering almost half of the world’s population. It is also likely to be, yet again, the hottest year on record as the climate crisis intensifies. Around the world, nations are choosing to prioritize economic growth and national interest over climate policy. There are worrying signs of a green backlash - or green lash - are rising, as citizens and businesses start feeling the costs of the energy transition.Globally, voters are anxious about the cost of living, while green regulations are starting to affect the stuff of daily life — what cars people buy and how they heat their homes.Do you choose a heat pump in your house? What car are you going to drive? These are emotional things to people.Climate isn’t a core issue for most voters the way the economy and security are. But the flag-waving right has made climate policy another culture-wars flash point — an example in their eyes of costly, intrusive overreach that compromises personal choice and national sovereignty.Much of the right believes that the bigger threat "is not climate change; it’s the actions taken by governments to decarbonize economies.This is not good news —We are literally in a fight for Heaven and Earth. Tune in and listen to the end where we give you, not only some much need hope, but your role in this hot mess.
