Nomad-Timothy Gorringe
The End of the World as We Know It?
This is one of the Podcasts we’ve used for our Nomad Gatherings. The Nomad blurb is as follows…
On this episode we speak with theology professor and climate change activist Timothy Gorringe about the climate crisis. Towards the end of last year the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change released a pretty bleak report. In summary, the report said that the situation is much worse than we previously thought, and unless we reduce global carbon emissions to zero by 2050, then by the end of this century the earth will be a very hostile place to live.
So we ask Prof. Gorringe how we are meant to respond? How can we as individuals radically reduce our carbon footprint? And how can we put pressures on government to move towards creating a carbon neutral society? And we ponder the theology of the potential collapse of human civilisation.
So it’s not the cheeriest of episodes, but there are some signs of hope!
