  News from a World in Flux Ep. 35: A food crisis is coming this year and the government is unprepared

  Jun 26, 2026—

  Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand. EPISODE 35: A food crisis is coming this year and the government is unprepared In this episode Clare and Charlie discuss how a perfect storm is brewing that will result in a coming food crisis this year and what you can do to prepare. They cover how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is affecting fertilizer supplies and increasing fuel prices, while a developing El Niño weather event is going to exacerbate already difficult growing conditions. All this against a background of a fragile food system and an unprepared government means we need to organise to keep ourselves safe. This isn't the final word in terms of things to think and do. It's really important to think about the near term impacts, but it's a huge topic and there is much more to cover in future episodes.

  News from a World in Flux Ep. 34: The psychological effects of repression and what's next for the climate movement?

  Jun 1, 202654 min

  Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand. EPISODE 34: The psychological effects of repression and what's next for the climate movement? In this episode Clare and Charlie explore how escalating state repression is reshaping climate activism, from the rise of underground tactics and sabotage, to why crackdowns may be radicalising some campaigners while deterring others. They also discuss the future of climate organising, including: mutual aid, community resilience, local assemblies, land-based resistance in France, and the growing attempts to unite climate action with anti-war, anti-poverty and justice movements. They raise the question of what a coherent political vision and philosophy for the climate movement might actually look like in an age of collapse, inequality and authoritarianism.
