1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a complete injustice of the world and

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: so wholly unfair that someone who can contribute so little

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: to this issue can be affected so devastatingly. And I

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: see it all the time. You know, people do think

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: that it's coming ten years down the road, or you know,

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: twenty years down the road. But like we said earlier,

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: people are living through it now.

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Fucked.

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: Welcome to I'm Fucking the Future. I'm your host, Chris Turney.

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 3: I'm a climate scientist based in Sydney, Australia. I've been

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: missearching climate change from the poles to the tropics for

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: almost thirty years, and I'll be the first to admit

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: that we've royally fucked up our planet. Well, I believe

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 3: that we can still turn things around. That's what this

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: show is all about. We'll talk to people making a

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: real difference in fighting against global heating, and then how

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: we can make a difference too. So let's get started.

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: Fucking the future.

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: We fight with those who have been forgotten. We fight

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: with those who have been neglected, millions of rural people

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: who starve feeding the world, people who depend on their

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: land for independence, but whose land suffers the effects of

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: climate change, not in some near future, but today, people

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: who remind me of my mother who once depended on

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: that land as well and is now here with me today.

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: That's our guest today, Sabrina Elba accepting the Time one

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: hundred Impact Award. She and her husband, the actor Idris Elba,

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: are you and Goodwill ambassadors. They've been focusing on an

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: often overlooked aspect of a climate crisis, the impact on

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: the rural of developing world. It's important work for two reasons. First,

31
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: these areas are often the most vulnerable to the effects

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: of global heating. And second, these populations have not caused

33
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: the mess we're in. They've produced so little greenhouse eating gases,

34
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: but they've been at the forefront of a climate crisis

35
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 3: four years.

36
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 5: It's just not right.

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: It's also a personal passion for Sabrina because of her background.

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: While she was born in Canada, her family is from

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: Somalia in Eastern Africa, and her Somali heritage was a

40
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: big part of her life growing up.

41
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: My mom left in the early eighties, and she says

42
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: she thinks she was one of three Somali people in Canada.

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I cannot guarantee those numbers are cracked, I mean, but

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: that's what she says, so we'll take her word for it.

45
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: She came to Canada, she was pregnant with my older sister.

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: She had so many dreams, you know, she wanted to

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: finish school, she wanted to do all these exciting new

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: things that were new to her, obviously being in a

49
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: different country. But she quickly had five kids before she

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: knew it. And she was a stay at home mom,

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: and I always saw that as powerful because she did

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: so many things in one day. I couldn't imagine how

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: she could do all these things and you know, drive

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: me one place and cook dinner and you know, take

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: care of my dad.

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: Even though she had a lot on her plate. Sabrina's

57
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: mum marry him, made sure her kids understood their cultural heritage.

58
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: There is a very strong identity attached to the country itself,

59
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: and I carried that with me. You know, the language,

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: the food is a big part of it. Family over

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: all the time. And I loved it. I loved growing

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: up in my Somali Canadian household. And my mom made

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: sure that, you know, we understood our culture and went

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: back to visit as often as we could. So I

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: was super thankful to be growing up two languages and

66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: two identities, and I think it only made for good,

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, conversation, especially in Canada where cultures are welcome.

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: It was through her mom's example, but Sabrina found her

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: passion for activism.

70
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: She's always been a humanitarian, which I don't know if

71
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: I quite appreciated when I was younger, because she left

72
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: a lot to go help when she could. She'd go

73
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: to Somalia, she started a water project, she'd distribute water

74
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: to rural areas that didn't have much, and she'd, you know,

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: she'd help families in whatever way she couldn't. When I

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: was younger, I remember thinking, why do you have to

77
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: keep leaving? You know why I can't do you stay

78
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: with us? And when I was younger, I didn't understand

79
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: why she was so passionate, but she always did say,

80
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is what I want to change, this

81
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: is why I'm doing what I do. I want to

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: go back one day and see the beauty that I remember,

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: and actually in my advocacy and my humanitarian work. As

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I get older, I start to realize a lot of

85
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: my passions have aligned with hers.

86
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: As a kid, Sabrina's Mum would take her to Somalia

87
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: and what she saw was a country full of pristine,

88
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: natural beauty. But that was changing and fast.

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: My visits when I was younger. The difference between visiting

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: back then and visiting you know last year was my

91
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: most recent visit. It's astronomically different, just in terms of

92
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: I feel, you know, the weather. You notice a big

93
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: change when we were younger. I don't know if I

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: quite noticed it because I only noticed like, oh my gosh,

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: Camel's exciting, sad, how exciting. But the older I got

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: and the more i'd go back, I'd realize that, you know,

97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: these people really are trying to rebuild from massive amounts

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: of not only physical but cultural destruction.

99
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: Somalia suffers from some of the worst effects of global heating.

100
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 3: While you might just think that means rising temperatures, the

101
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 3: situation goes far beyond that, which brings us to our segment.

102
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: Holy fuck. Less than two percent of Somalia is productive farmland. Meanwhile,

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: that tiny portion generates seventy five percent of the country's economy,

104
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 3: so that means having productive growing seasons every year is

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: critical in Somalia. Unfortunately, Somalia has had five years of drought.

106
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: No rain means no crops, and no crops means famine.

107
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: There's seven point eight million people in Somalia who experience

108
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: food into security, and one point four million of them

109
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: are children under five years old who are suffering from malnutrition.

110
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: It's absolutely heartbreaking. And to make matters even worse, Somalia

111
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: actually did get rain this year, so much rain that

112
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: it's caused catastrophic flooding and displaced more than seven hundred

113
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: thousand people. The country is experiencing one climate extreme event

114
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: after another. This kind of crisis has another terrifying side effect.

115
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: It creates political instability and enables violent extremism. And that's

116
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: exactly what's happening in Somalia. The country is in the

117
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: middle of a decade long civil war between the federal

118
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: government and al Qaeda aligned militants. The causes of a

119
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: what are complex, but the climate crisis is contributing to

120
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: famine and therefore to the political instability. It's just one

121
00:06:52,560 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: example of the enormous and far reaching impacts of global heating. Okay,

122
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: back to Sabrina. As she discovered, but climate crisis is

123
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: not just about bad weather. It creates a risk of

124
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: war and of cultural destruction.

125
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: We do think of it as being a sole an

126
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: environmental issue, but we also forget that it's happening right

127
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: now in a lot of places, and we're seeing more

128
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: and more climate conflict. On one hand, you have the

129
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: idea of whole areas being underwater as some future type

130
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: thing where you can imagine communities might be lost and

131
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: cultures might be lost, and that haunts me. But on

132
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: the other hand, you're seeing real conflicts, and conflict can

133
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: lead to very real things like genocides and and other

134
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: horrendous things where you see other beautiful cultures and peoples

135
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: potentially wiped out. We forget that there are rural people

136
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: all over the world who are not only suffering the

137
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: impacts of climate change now, but are really extremely vulnerable

138
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: to worsening effects or maybe things we haven't even thought

139
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: of down the road.

140
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: So Somalia and other rural communities are experiencing some of

141
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: the worst impacts of a climate crisis, and maybe the

142
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: most gut wrenching parties that it's not their fault. It's

143
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: rich developed economies for the pumped out a vast majority

144
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: of pollution that is causing global heating.

145
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: It's a complete injustice of the world and so wholly

146
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: unfair that someone who can contribute so little to this

147
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: issue can be affected so devastatingly. And I see it

148
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, people do think that it's

149
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: coming ten years down the road, or you know, twenty

150
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: years down the road. But like we said earlier, people

151
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: are living through it now. People are being affected now

152
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: and also feeling that injustice. You know, we're not just

153
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: talking about crops or livestock. We're talking about people's lives

154
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: when we're talking about loss and damages. And you know,

155
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: I find it hard to find an argument against.

156
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to pause right there on that concept

157
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: loss and damages. It's a hot topic in the environmental

158
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: community right now, and it brings us to a segment

159
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: we call what the.

160
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 5: Fuck are you talking about? What the fucking you target about?

161
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: Across the world, we are all trying to figure out

162
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: how to adapt to the climate crisis. In the United States,

163
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: the government recently passed the Inflation Reduction Act. This historic

164
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: bill contains at least four hundred billion dollars in climate

165
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: related spending. That's billion with a B. And this is

166
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: a great thing because Transitioning to clean energy and mitigating

167
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 3: the impacts of a hotter world is going to be expensive,

168
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: so this money is going to be really helpful. But

169
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: here's the thing, not every country has that kind of money.

170
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: To use Somoli as an example, their whole GDP is

171
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: only about eleven and billion dollars. To match the investment

172
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: of the Inflation Reduction Act adjusted for population, Somalia would

173
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: still have to spend roughly seven years of their entire

174
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: economic output or for a problem they didn't even cause.

175
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: This has led to an effort to make rich countries

176
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: like the US compensate poorer countries for the losses and

177
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: damages caused by the climate crisis, and this could go

178
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 3: a long way in helping these poorer countries recover from

179
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: these crises and adapt to a hotter world. If we

180
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: want place is like Somalia to continue to exist, we're

181
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: going to need to pay up for the harm we've caused.

182
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: And that's what the fuck we're talking about. What the

183
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: fuck are you're talking about? Sabrina believes that paying loss

184
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: and damages to poorer countries is the absolute least we

185
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: can do to make things right.

186
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: So much of the narrative in so many different parts

187
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: of the world has become about there's lots of talk

188
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: about migrant issues and oh, who's welcome and who's not welcome?

189
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: But why do people leave? You know, so many people

190
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't have left Somalia if there wasn't conflicts. So people

191
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: leave because there's a reason they can't stay. And if

192
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: more frequently that's becoming climate we're causing in the global north.

193
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: How are we then going to turn around and say, well,

194
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: we're sorry that your homeland is getting destroyed. There's no

195
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: opportunities there because of either drought or family or whatever flooding,

196
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: but no, you can't come in here either. It's a

197
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: very kind of ignorant way of thinking when we don't

198
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: think holistically about issues. So I hope that people look

199
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: at issues like the ones that we're talking about as

200
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: global issues rather than a them problem versus an US problem.

201
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, that's something we're seeing more and more. Climate change

202
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: knows no borders. When the climate changed in the past,

203
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: you moved. But nowadays we have these pesky borders and

204
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 3: they're limiting movement and opportunities for people affected by climate change.

205
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: The UN International Organization for migration says that as many

206
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: as one billion people will be environmental migrants in the

207
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: next thirty years. The question is not whether this will happen,

208
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: but how we will respond to it. So far, the

209
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: reaction for countries that have caused for climate crisis, and

210
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 3: I should mention for countries that have historically benefited from migrants,

211
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: has been to make migration difficult for people seeking safety.

212
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: But I also want to point out that climate migration

213
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: isn't just an international issue. Even in the United States,

214
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: people are leaving low lying and fire prone areas for

215
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: places with stronger climate resilience, but that doesn't change that

216
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: the global self is facing the harshest symptoms of climate change,

217
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 3: and we're seeing a huge number of migrants fleeing their

218
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 3: homelands because of climate related issues, and those numbers are

219
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: only increasing. But migration doesn't have to be the only solution,

220
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: and it shouldn't be. People shouldn't be forced to flee

221
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: their homeland, and so right now we need to help

222
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: support resiliency efforts in the areas but they're on the

223
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: front lines of a climate crisis.

224
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: We also put this I think expectation on rural communities

225
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: to scale up to the same way that the global

226
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: North can, and to move quick to change over to

227
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: renewable energies when it's like they you know, it takes time.

228
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: It takes time. How are you expected to to fight

229
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: climate change if you can't you don't even have an

230
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: accurate reading device or the weather. You know, like simple

231
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: technologies to adapt to changing climate are so important, but

232
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: even these technologies are so underfunded for rural people. How

233
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: can we put these expectations on people.

234
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 4: We're on fucking the future. We're on fucking the future.

235
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: The good news is there are people working hard to

236
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: solve this problem. Loss and damages was a big issue

237
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: at a recent COP twenty eight climate summit, and I

238
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: was slightly relieved to see several wealthy countries put up

239
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: money for the Loss and Damage Fund, but their contributions

240
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: amounted to less than half a percent of what is needed.

241
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: I'm a hopeful person, but honestly, really it's a drop

242
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: in the ocean, which is why we have to focus

243
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: on the many different avenues and approaches to solving for

244
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: global saff's climate crisis.

245
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: Right now.

246
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: Sabrin has been working with e FAD, the International Fund

247
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: for Agricultural Development is a UN agency that focuses on

248
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: projects related to agriculture and rural communities.

249
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought that I would ever be doing

250
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: work in agriculture. I mean, if someone said that to me,

251
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't, well, what are you talking about? But

252
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: there might have been maybe a couple of things about

253
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: my identity and my beliefs that I shared with my

254
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: husband that kind of influenced us to work with EFAD

255
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: in the first place. And one of those was that

256
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: we looked at the AID model and the general aid model,

257
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: and I, look, there's a time and place for AID.

258
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: I think it's super important, but I do think it

259
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: can be really shortsighted if you're offering a band aid

260
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: over a band aid over a band aid, not really

261
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: getting to the root cause of an issue. And when

262
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: I learned about the work that EFAD was doing and

263
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: how they not only teach people how to live off

264
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: the land they live on by providing them with education

265
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: around agriculture and giving them a sense of entrepreneurship as

266
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: well as food security, I was blown away because I

267
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: realized that that model was meant to actually make people

268
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: more independent rather than on an agency. And I thought Wow,

269
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: what a great model. You know. It goes to show

270
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: that actually the majority of impoverished people live in rural communities,

271
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: and what they do have is land, and in that

272
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: land is opportunity.

273
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: Places that aren't economically developed often have large regions of

274
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: unspoilt land, forests and important natural resources.

275
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: They're also technically the custodians of this planet. Imagine the

276
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: potential if they were given the appropriate tools and education

277
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: and investment that they deserve, because it is an investment

278
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: in ourselves, particularly when you translate that to the climate conversation,

279
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: because then you're talking about people who are protecting the

280
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: biodiversity of areas, who are adapting communities to the climate

281
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: changes that are happening in real time.

282
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: Sabrina's witnessed firsthand for benefits of empowering rural communities in

283
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: the fight against global heating, and it gives a hope.

284
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: I'll never hear this image of this swamp land in

285
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: sire Leone that was converted into rice farms, and seeing

286
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: them before and after, I could not believe that nine

287
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: that was so degradated and so turned into this like,

288
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, massive community with women farming. And I always

289
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: thought that was so amazing, and it just goes to

290
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: show like even things like land degredation, like we need

291
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: rural people to restore the world through nature based solutions.

292
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: Nature based solutions are such a big part of it.

293
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: And who else is going to protect these areas? Like

294
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: I said that, the genuine custodians of our planet rural people.

295
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: And I'm endlessly amazed, endlessly amazed, and also endlessly touched.

296
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: I think seeing programs change people's lives with such simple

297
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: technology and such simple you know, climate resilien seeds for instance,

298
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: or you know, different kinds of fertilizers, it just makes

299
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: a huge, huge difference in people's lives. And at the

300
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: end of the day, that's really what it's about.

301
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: After some time working with EFAT on their projects with

302
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: agricultural communities for you and approach Sabrina and about becoming

303
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: official good Will ambassadors. It was a surreal moment, especially

304
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 3: because her mother had connected her with EPHAD in the

305
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: first place.

306
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: I remember calling my mom and being like, mom, they've

307
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: asked me to be an ambassador. It's so cool. And

308
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: the first ambassadors that they've had on this scale, and

309
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: actually the first couple ever asked to be new and

310
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: good Will ambassadors, which is kind of interesting.

311
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 3: Serving as good Will ambassadors has given Sabrina and Idris

312
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: a totally new platform to raise awareness about the challenges

313
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: rural communities are facing. And one of the ways they've

314
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 3: been using at platform is to empower women and girls

315
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: in these communities.

316
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: So the ties between gender and agriculture became so intertwined

317
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: for me in a way that I didn't know that

318
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: I just it became so much of my passion to

319
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: see that women are historically at a disadvantage and that's

320
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: amplified and sort of, you know, made extreme when you're

321
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: in situations around climate because you realize if you already

322
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: at a dispantage and you're trying to get land rights

323
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: or access to finance, it only makes it harder for

324
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: you to adapt or make the changes you need to change.

325
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: And EFAT does a lot of work in gender and

326
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's all of these different touch points

327
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: that they've been able to expand their work into that

328
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: really made me passionate about the work they that they do.

329
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: Once people understand by empowering women or girls, you empower

330
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: a community, you actually see communities buy into it because

331
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: it works, and a lot of them field visits I do,

332
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: and like, you know, no shade to men, but men

333
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: are often in the city at the bars, and I

334
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: see women in the fields you just do, with babies

335
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: on their back or children on their back, farming all day,

336
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: sending their kids to school, and not spending the money

337
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, at a bar on their friends, but at

338
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: home and building their home and building women around them.

339
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: And women give back, you know, in a way that's

340
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: so much more community led than men do. That the

341
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: statistically true, and I think, look, it's a good thing.

342
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: It just means we just need to empower women.

343
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: Women make up nearly half an agricultural labor force in

344
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: developing countries. They're often also the ones who actually have

345
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: to feed their families, but as farmers, they have lower

346
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: yields on their land than men, and that's because of

347
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: unequal access to resources like fertilizer, credit and good quality land.

348
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: One UN study found that if women who were afforded

349
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: the same access as men, their agricultural yields would increase

350
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: by up to thirty percent. This could even reduce world

351
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: hunger by twelve to seventeen percent. That would mean pulling

352
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty million people out of hunger. That's

353
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: a population in Mexico and Australia combined.

354
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: If you empower women, they'll be able to do that,

355
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: you know. So food security, if we're empowering women, they'll

356
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: help feed their families. And it's been shown and proven

357
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: time and time again. If you support women and girls,

358
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: you change communities, you change countries, and I feel the

359
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: world really needs to step up to that. ePAT is

360
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: doing its part, and that's where I'm hopeful is there

361
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: are amazing programs. There are such amazing grassroots programs, and

362
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: e FAT does go through government to support grassroots projects

363
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: as well, and so there are all of these different

364
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: ways to support rural women and girls. It's just about

365
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: the funding. The funding isn't there. I mean, look at

366
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: food security funding or climate funding even and of itself,

367
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: only one percent goes to something like adaptation, which is

368
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: one of the biggest hurdles of your community.

369
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 4: We're on fucking the future. We're on fucking the future.

370
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: One of the big takeaways from this conversation, and I

371
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: imagine a lot of the conversations will have on this show,

372
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: is that it's not always technical fixes that will help

373
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: us unfuck the future. One big discovery in the lab

374
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 3: of the newest startup is not going to get us

375
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: out of this mess on its own. It's about how

376
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: we live as a society, and in this case, it

377
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: means giving rural communities for resources they need to thrive,

378
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 3: not just survive. Rural people deserve to be compensated for

379
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: the losses and damages caused by the climate crisis, and

380
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: by investing specifically in rural girls and women, we can

381
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: make progress on climate issues as well as related problems

382
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: like food insecurity. But those are big government level solutions.

383
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: So what can we do as individuals sitting at home

384
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: listening to its podcast.

385
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: One of the most important things that we can do

386
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: is use our voices. And I say that a lot

387
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: because the conversation around food systems and rural people and

388
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: climate it needs to be sort of frontline. Like I

389
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm looking at headlines and we're flooded with information

390
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: that feels so, look, if we're not talking about our survival,

391
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: which is really what it is as a human race,

392
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: then I don't see why we would be talking about

393
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: anything else. But I think conversation is so important. I

394
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: think you inspire change by being the change that you

395
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: want to be. If you're mindful of these issues, other

396
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: people will be inspired, and then maybe that'll lead to

397
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: more people reaching out to their leader. It's more people

398
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: voting and also kind of understanding and being able to

399
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: combat the misinformation that's thrown at us all the time.

400
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: I always say, being a You and Goodble ambassador is

401
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: about access. It's about speaking with voices who can't get

402
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: into the rooms that I'm so fortunate to be able

403
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: to have access to. People want their stories shared, people

404
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: want their struggles shared, because you see change when people

405
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: galvanize together. And I said, unless we have these conversations,

406
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: So using your voice, I would say, is the most

407
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: important thing.

408
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: And it's it's a face to be almost like stories.

409
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: We're telling our stories and that's how we relate to

410
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: one another, isn't it with physically with storytellers, the.

411
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Shortest distance between two people as a story. I heard

412
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: that somewhere. It's not my own quote.

413
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 3: But I thought it was always which brings us to

414
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 3: how we can help Maggie bed take it away?

415
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 4: What fuck can I do?

416
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: Maggie? What did you take away from my discussion with Sabrina.

417
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 6: So Sabrina isn't only a U and Goodwill ambassador, She's

418
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 6: also the European board chair of an organization known as

419
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 6: Global Citizen, an organization I also know and love. Global Citizen,

420
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 6: also known as Global Poverty Project, is an international education

421
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 6: and advocacy organization that seeks to catalyze the movement to

422
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 6: end extreme poverty and promote social justice and equity through

423
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 6: the lens of intersectionality. My kids, Billy and Phineas, have

424
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 6: been big supporters of Global Citizen, performed in the amazing

425
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 6: concerts Safe Given, and just really try to lend their

426
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 6: support to incredible work that Global Citizen does to get

427
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 6: people involved to take action that is effective in so

428
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 6: many ways, and anyone can join Global Citizens for free.

429
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 6: Once you're part of their network, they'll bring you different

430
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 6: actions that you can take to fight global poverty and

431
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 6: defend the planet, because of course, poverty and climate change

432
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 6: are inextricably entwined. Some of the actions they recommend are

433
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 6: super easy, like tweeting at government officials, for example, which

434
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 6: is actually very effective. But they'll also connect you with

435
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 6: opportunities to march, to volunteer, and to be part of

436
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 6: a community, because you know, to be clear, it's maybe

437
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 6: not quite enough to send emails and tweets. Like Adam

438
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 6: McKay told us last episode, we need to show up

439
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 6: in real life, not just on social media. I mean,

440
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 6: social media is great, but Global Citizen is a great

441
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 6: platform to start your journey into climate action and then

442
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 6: find like minded people who care about this issue just

443
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 6: as much as you do. You can sign up at

444
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 6: global citizen dot org.

445
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: That's brilliant, Maggie, And let's say thanks for the great idea.

446
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: It's all about being a global citizen and one community

447
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: and for everyone listening out there, that's what the fuck

448
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: you can do?

449
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 4: What the fuck can I do?

450
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: Well, look, thank you again, Sabrina, just for joining us

451
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: on the show. It's so grateful for all your time

452
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 3: and helping us understand the urgent work that needs to

453
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: be done to support our communities, not just in Somalia

454
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: and in Africa, but but around the world.

455
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 5: Thank you so much. It's been brilliant talking to you.

456
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: No, it's been such a pleasure. Thank you for having me,

457
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: and thank you for doing the working that you do.

458
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean you are spreading awareness and conversations in every episode,

459
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 1: so thank you.

460
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 4: Oh fucked.

461
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: That's all for this episode. Next time I'm Fucking the Future,

462
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: we'll be talking with Tom Steyer. He went from investing

463
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: in the coal and oil industries to leading the fight

464
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: for clean climate.

465
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 5: Friend the investments, well.

466
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: You know, capitalism scales, profitability scales. It's somewhat cynical of

467
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: me to say, but unfortunately I think it's realistic for

468
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,600

469
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: be good. Capitalism is basically, we're going to produce what

470
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: you want so you'll pay us money. That's capitalism, Like,

471
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: you tell us what you want and we'll produce it

472
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: if you'll pay us for it. And the idea is okay,

473
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: So my self interest is to produce something you want.

474
