We have seen 11 extreme flooding events so far this September and just this week, as we were trying coming to terms with the devastating earthquake that hit Morocco, Libya experienced a catastrophic flooding event. In one of its cities, Derna, 25 per cent of the town has been washed away, with predictions suggesting a staggering 20,000 lives could be lost.
Also reported this week - six out of the nine “planetary boundaries” have been broken because of human-caused pollution and destruction of the natural world. The broken boundaries mean these systems have been driven far from the safety and stability which has provided a stable environment for human flourishing since the end of the last ice age - 10,000 years ago.
In the background, for decades, a group called Atlas Network have been busy. It’s a global network of more than 500-member think tanks advocating for “free market” policies. It uses its reach and influence to spread conservative philosophy, as well as criminalize climate protest. It has been incredibly successful, but are we aware of these puppet masters and is their influence in our best interest? Something we’ll discuss.
It will be Andrea and Joe this week, and we are delighted to welcome Neerja Singh, The Seenager, who will provide her grace, wisdom and insights on the news happening around the world.
The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today.
The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the climate crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics, business, social issues, and passion/humor/history. Join us.
