YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“We’ve got almost everything wrong” - George Monbiot
In this extended interview with the New Statesman, renowned author and environmentalist George Monbiot discusses the "myths" many environmentalists believe about climate action - in particular on the question of how we feed the world’s population. He claims:
- The most dangerous form of farming is the one most preferred by environmentalists
- Global farming subsidies are “the most destructive force on earth”
- The so-called opportunities of Brexit “can’t be worse” than the current EU system, which actively rewards farmers for environmental destruction
