Tom Hayden – Birth of Movements
Original recording by Alex Smith in Vancouver, Canada July 3rd, 2008. New to Radio Ecoshock.
There are undercurrents of new movements in many countries. When and how does social change arise? On July 3rd, 2008 I recorded this speech by legendary American activist Tom Hayden. The speech was broadcast in Vancouver, but this is it’s first appearance on Radio Ecoshock. I call it “Birth of Movements”.
With Trump and Sanders, or new parties in Europe, this 2008 speech by California activist Tom Hayden is important. Hayden was a founder of Students for a Democratic Society in the 60’s, was one of the Chicago Seven, and with his wife Jane Fonda was an early environmental activist. I recorded this speech at the University of British Columbia, following student protests there.

CLIMATE DISRUPTION OF OUR LIVES (Replay)
Dr. Jennifer Francis of Rutgers: Jet Stream waves & Polar Vortex. Dr. Daniel Brooks: parasites survive warming better than we do. This critical interview with Jennifer Francis helps explain why a rapidly warming Arctic, and record melt-back of sea ice has changed our weather in weird and unexpected ways. This is the science behind the wild weather news being reported around the Northern Hemisphere.
In the second interview, think Zika virus moving northwards into America, as tropical mosquitoes find new ground in a warming world. All the insects will respond to climate change. We may not like the result. Dr. Daniel Brooks is one of the few expert scientists who track those trends.
You will also hear a short clip UK film-maker Nick Breeze of www.envisination.co.uk.

I did a double-take when Wadsell started to sketch his vision of the future – a new civilisation based on solar energy?! How can he believe that? At 4, 5 6 degrees, we won’t have habitat; we’d be gone by then, right?
