Passionate environmentalists Noah Herfort and Timo Marchant combine wine tasting with lively discussions about climate change, the risks it poses to humanity, and the opportunities it presents for a thorough restructuring of society. Confronting the evils of extractivism and market capitalism and appraising the interwoven symptoms of a sick society riddled with systemic inequality, Timo and Noah offer ruthless but fair criticisms of the current status quo. It isn’t all doom and gloom, however: they also present a ray of hope by exploring examples of promising alternatives.

Save the Planet, Wine Not - Episode 6
<p>Where does the public get its information from when it comes to climate change? What role does the media play in shaping popular opinion? Timo and Noah negotiate the issues of profit-seeking, corporate-owned media, of the unregulated proliferation of fake news, of social media "click-bait", and of the misleading framing of climate change related problems. Tricked by the complimentary label on a box of sickeningly sweet Silver Bay Point wine, Timo and Noah fell victim to the dangers of false advertising in the prelude to this episode; no one is immune to media manipulation. One must tread with caution. </p> <p>In the final part of the episode, non-mediatic literary engagements with climate change are examined. Drawing on Amitav Ghosh's 'The Great Derangement', Timo and Noah discuss the reasons why climate change poses such challenges to novelists, and encourage all artists to invest their creative energy into the monumental task of re-imagining the world. </p>

Save the Planet, Wine Not - Episode 5
<p>In this episode, Timo and Noah tackle the topic of food. In the spirit of the bold, uncompromising tones of their Lisbonese 'Porta 6' wine, they engage in a frank discussion about their personal dietary journeys, before presenting a head-on challenge to the pernicious and environmentally degrading practices of the modern factory farm. Drawing on a combination of arguments ranging from ethics and health to workers' rights and sustainability concerns, they face up to the necessity of moving away from animal products as a crucial component in the fight against climate change. In the final third of the episode, they explore permaculture and agroecology as non-intensive, environmentally friendly solutions to the challenge of food production, discussing the many advantages of such practices, and probing the obstacles that currently stand in the way of their large-scale implementation. </p>

Save the Planet, Wine Not - Episode 4
<p>The topic accompanying this week's delectation of a rich, full-bodied 'Lussec Saint Emillion' wine is money. Noah and Timo challenge the fallacy that our governments cannot afford to pay for the types of deep structural investments and decarbonising strategies required to meet the IPCC's sustainability goals. The money exists, it's just a case of acquiring the political will to claim it through various taxation schemes. By scrapping subsidies to fossil fuel companies, cutting military spending, introducing a billionaire's tax, and taxing Big Business, the massive funds needed for a Green transition can be scraped together. The episode also examines the flip-side of the 'polluter pays' concept, stressing the importance of not letting the brunt of the cost fall on already disadvantaged social groups. Finally, they question the concept of green philanthropy, with case studies ranging from Richard Branson to Bill Gates. Is the current profit-fuelled economic system just too lucrative for these "environmentally-conscious" billionaires to turn their backs on? Ought we put ourselves at the mercy of these individuals' goodwill?</p>
