The 300-350 Show: Arctic Special - part one

Climate Radio | 22.07.2009 11:39 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | World

The first of two episodes featuring Jess Worth – a co-editor of New Internationalist - who has recently finished editing an issue of the magazine focusing on the Arctic which uncovers the largely untold story of how climate change is impacting already on indigenous peoples and how they are fighting back.

- mp3 25M


Indigenous peoples are not just victims in the climate change story they are proactive in fighting back against fossil fuel developments on their lands. We hear from Gwich’in activist Faith Gemmill (co-odinator of REDOIL) about how a recent string of successful legal challenges suggests that indigenous peoples could end up playing a critical role in the fight against climate change. REDOIL have won important victories over Shell, the US government and the Environmental Protection Agency.

In part two we’ll look at the historic Indigenous People’s Summit on Climate Change and its implications for the UN climate talks in Copenhagen; the Arctic’s central position in the climate tipping point story; and the rush to exploit the fossil fuel resources in the Arctic opened up by the sea ice melt..

The 300-350 Show is made for ResonanceFM in London and is syndicated free to not-for-profit community radio stations and independent media outlets around the globe. The programme is named after what is now believed to the safe level in parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This finding is based on the work of James Hansen and his team in a paper titled "Target Atmospheric CO2: Where Should Humanity Aim."  http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.1126
