Podcast Overview

The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our lifetimes. Its scale defies comprehension, and conceals its true nature – not as one gigantic issue, but as many. Even those of us who accept the science and urgency of the climate crisis can struggle to act on our own knowledge and values. No matter who we are, our minds are subject to the Dragons of Climate Inaction: 36 different species of rationalizations – stories we tell ourselves consciously and subconsciously, shaping all of our decisions.In this series we explore the psychology of climate inaction, and prove that another story is possible. In each chapter of this 8-part series, we’ll uncover a different genus of dragon. Along the way, we’ll explore the art of turning carbon into rock, face mortality in the heart of the Amazon, and rekindle our connection with the Earth. With the help of each of our guests, we’ll challenge the different types of climate inaction, and discuss how we can scale up to meet this moment, together. Scales of Change was produced by Future Ecologies, with support from the University of Victoria. Scales of Change is proud to be a 2021 Webby Honoree in Science & Education

Chapter 7: A Form of Life

This is our final chapter, and our last genus of Dragon: Immobilis – the dragons of Limited Behaviour. This genus contains only two species: Immobilis signum, or the Dragon of Tokenism, and Immobilis jevonsii, or the Rebound Effect. They are among the most pernicious dragons, especially for people who already care deeply about the climate.As we unpack this small but important genus, we discover how they are tied to the global movement to divest from fossil fuels. Once again we find ourselves with the themes that have run throughout our entire series: the power and flexibility of language & narrative.Visit <a href="https://www.futureecologies.net/dragons" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">futureecologies.net/dragons</a> to learn more about the Dragons of Inaction (including their names, descriptions, and phylogeny), and find all of our citations, guest speakers, and musicians.

Chapter 6: Relatives of the Deep

In our sixth genus, we dive deep into the Dragons of Sunk Cost – the investments that work against our climate interests.Some of these may simply be financial, but they may also be emotional: our goals and aspirations, our patterns of behaviour, and our attachments to the places around us.In this episode, we focus our attention on Place Attachment, as we tag along with the <a href="https://www.sgicommunityresources.ca/climate-action-project/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ṮEṮÁĆES Climate Action Project</a>: a W̱SÁNEĆ-led eco-cultural revitalization project.To learn more about the Dragons of Climate Inaction (+ musical credits, citations, and more) visit <a href="https://www.futureecologies.net/dragons" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">futureecologies.net/dragons</a>
