Listen "Fighting the Polycrisis with Radical Honesty"
Episode Synopsis
Mike Berners-Lee, author of "A Climate of Truth," discusses how radical honesty in politics, media, and business represents our highest leverage point for addressing the interconnected global crises we face. Berners-Lee explains how his work evolved from carbon accounting to identifying truth as the most powerful tool for collective action amid climate destabilization. Despite acknowledging the gravity of our situation, particularly amid political challenges, he offers practical steps individuals can take—from supporting ethical media to making conscious consumer choices—while maintaining a surprisingly optimistic perspective on human capacity for transformation. The conversation provides a clear-eyed framework for staying engaged with difficult truths while finding meaning in community action and personal responsibility.
