We discuss the implications, such as abandoning coastal areas, as well as learning to accept and respond to the growing climate migrant crisis. We also discuss the psychological toll of processing this kind of scientific findings.In the next episode I will be speaking with author and psychoanalyst, Sally Weintrobe about her latest work.As policymakers meet in Dubai for the preCOP discussions, it is with great sadness that we note the death of Professor Saleemul Huq on the 28th October. Saleem has been a huge source of insight for my work over the last decade, giving me many interviews that provide the much needed perspective of the vulnerable nations in the global south. As mentioned before, my own book COPOUT is available for preorder and I am pleased to say that Saleem’s wise words inform the narrative, threading the way from Paris to this years COP in the UAE.Thank you to all Youtube and Patreon subscribers for supporting the channel - with ever more aspects to the climate and ecological crisis emerging, your support makes it a difference.
