Wrapping Up the Podcast
We launched the Climate Workshop Podcast a year ago to experiment with bringing our climate conversations online. It has been a great experience, but we have decided to focus our time and energy on other climate efforts. We are officially putting this project on hold, though you never know what will happen in the future! Thank you for being part of our podcast community. We are grateful to our guests and to Bryan Cahall for his music.

Disengagement is not the answer
When the chaos of the news cycle “drowns out life“ what should we do? Pretend we’re isolated individuals, that nobody else matters, and double down on our sense of helplessness? We think not! Tim and Peter discuss a recent article in the Providence Journal suggesting disengagement as a viable coping strategy.

Tribe by Sebastian Junger

"This book is about why tribal sentiment is such a rare and precious thing in modern society, and how the lack of it has affected us all. It’s about what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty and belonging and the eternal human quest for meaning. It’s about why—for many people—war feels better than peace and hardship can turn out to be a great blessing and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. Humans don’t mind duress, in fact they thrive on it. What they mind is not feeling necessary.” — Sebastian Junger
“Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.” ― Edward Abbey

Wisdom, Courage, and the West Roxbury Climate Trial with Karenna Gore
This episode is a conversation between Tim and his co-defendant Karenna Gore, immediately after the surprising verdict in the West Roxbury, Boston, MA pipeline resistance trial.
They discuss their experience of civil disobedience that led to the trial and the ground-breaking result of an acquittal by reason of the necessity defense.

Should We Take Climate Change Personally?
In this episode, we explore dealing with the climate crisis on an individual level. How do we look at what's happening with open eyes while remaining grounded? How do we stay engaged without letting it consume us? Our conversation ranges from mindfulness practice and holding concern for our children and future generations to the need for a culture where we call people out for actions that devalue a livable future.
