...sorry not sorry... but we're taking another week before our Season 3 with some big (not so happy) news. The UN announced this week that we will cross the 1.5 degree threshold, even under our best case scenario. Is it the end of the world? Maybe. So let's do what well behaved citizens do and talk about how we feel about it...

Chris PocockHost

1:48

So we had the news this week that the UN has conceded for the first time that the world will categorically hit the 1.5 degree limit.

happen.

Chris PocockHost

2:02

And yeah, we thought it'd be a good idea to record an episode about it.

Chris PocockHost

2:05

And the title of the episode is We Are Not Angry Enough.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:08

Yeah, I don't know.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

Natalie.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:10

Yeah, I mean, maybe you're

Chris PocockHost

2:10

angry, maybe you're not.

Chris PocockHost

2:11

How do you feel about the news? Honestly, how did it make you feel when you found out about it?

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:16

I mean, to be honest, it has been looming in the background.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:21

And I feel like especially in my work, work environment.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:25

And I have to say only my work environment, I think.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:29

We talked about this already for a while and it's like, but how achievable is it still to hit this 1.5 degrees? But I think everyone sort of wanted to cling onto it because we so desperately wanted it to still be possible.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:43

And I think now hearing an official agency that really deals with the like proper scientific data, hear them saying, basically, we cannot not cross it anymore.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

2:54

It has become so unlikely that they are skipping or crossing out this kind of scenario is daunting.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

3:01

It's really not a good feeling.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

3:03

Yeah,

Chris PocockHost

3:04

I don't

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

know.

N

Nathalie SeppkeHost

3:05

What did it do to you?

Chris PocockHost

3:07

Do you know what? It really struck me as how normal it all felt.

Chris PocockHost

3:13

Like I literally like I saw the news on my LinkedIn feed, paused on it for five seconds and just sort of carried on.

Chris PocockHost

3:20

It was it was like, yeah, fine.
