Noisy heat pumps, pointless COPs, Fags and Bacon - and Farming's new bestie... yeah right. Plus some old chestnuts - and false choices.Oleh Dale Vince

Another oil baron kicks off another Petrostate COP this week – Keir Starmer stands up for climate justice, sets bold new target but makes interesting claim, - while 18 of the G20 are doing their laundry or something. I revel in my new role of ‘Staines remover’ and we look at the curious story of Turkey ’theft’ by a vet. With of course fab Qs from t…

Right wing nuts dominate the latest episode… but here's why Trump won’t be able to stop Net Zero and James Dyson should stop whinging and pay his taxes like the rest of us.Oleh Dale Vince

This week we talk Budget, Green-on-Green battles, why I'm saying No in November, and I unpack my supposed "shadowy" support for the Labour Party...:)Oleh Dale Vince

We got left and right wing nuts this week - as the heat pump rumble, rumbles on and I’m accused of all manner of things. The UN issues a stark warning ‘apocalypse this century’ looks nailed on. With the Budget coming, we talk about making tax more fair. Water companies continue to outrage, their apocalypse is surely just around the corner. All with…

The Monbiot episode? Well, it was hard to avoid some mention of the extraordinary attacks, sparked by my public comments on Heat Pumps. Our school dinner campaign has bled over (wrong choice of words?) into the NHS - I’ve been advocating for more tax (again) and then we talk Drax (the actual one) and the bonkers plans of the last government to buy …

This week we talk Regicide, Hurricanes, Football, Climate Villains (and tax exiles) and news giving us reason to maybe co opt that old right wing saw “what about China?”. Then we get to the serious stuff, listener questions and we have fish on the beach, cows in the room, grid fairies and zero carbon flying (no fairy tale that) - and X rated corner…

Cracking episode... We kick off with the Tory party conference - just another episode in the saga of the race to lead the zombie party. We celebrate the end of coal in the UK, although the joy’s somewhat dampened by a big gamble on Carbon Capture. In 'non-news', we have fossil fuel companies not investing in green... Our undercover team’s been busy…

This week – we dive into the Labour Conference with fringe events, speeches, and wall-to-wall media interviews, covering donations, wealth tax, and winter fuel allowance... The big bad boy that landed in the press was the mandatory meat and dairy for school dinners, stirring up quite the storm... Keir Starmer’s sausage slip-up makes the headlines, …

This week - An ex government minister says some crazy stuff and goes toe to toe with Nige for the right wing nut award - while an actual government minister says something crazy but true. The nuttiest project from the Tory years gets the High Court boot and the implications of that are big. Look out, Rosebank... We reflect on the good things Thatch…

In this one, we’ve got methane – a bit of a climate villain and another reason to ditch the cow. Right-wing nuts are back – Trump and his leading acolyte on this side of the pond, both vying for top spot. And vegan dogs and cats – who knew? Even vets admit they live longer, healthier lives. Green populism gets a run out in the US as a way to engage…

Our new season kicks off and we talk about the title, what it might have been and why it is what it is. We have Rishi and his 4 foot wooden spoon, a summer of Grid Faeries and the incredibly self unaware rantings of Reform in the House. The success of the latest renewable auction and the nuclear story behind that - plus our listeners are back with …

It’s been a crazy ride this series - blessed with an abundance of right wing nuts, we explored all manner of craziness, not least from Sunak and co (remember him? Nah us neither). The series spanned Dale’s time immersed in the summer of Just Stop Oil, the vital pivot to Just Stop the Tories (to de fang the right wing media) all the way up to our el…

LIVE from WOMAD - Dale really enjoyed the audience questions on this live session which was off the charts, just brilliant. Great questions, great discussion, wide ranging, free ranging really - and great fun. Made the day.Oleh Dale Vince

We close out our ‘Just Stop the Tories’ season, live from WOMAD (festival). With a drive-by look back at the origins of that phrase and its realisation - Labour’s mammoth win and rapid policy moves. We also explore ‘green on green,’ a phenomenon from the election that appears to have legs. Are Labour green, or are they not? We share anecdotes about…

The Tories have been stopped, Labour wastes no time, and we look at a bit of green-on-green action. Dale's feeling the pressure for a new name, NIMBYs in the firing line, and another eco-activist in the dock as we ask - why are the good guys getting banged up? Another temperature record, windmills with no gears, what has Ian learned in 5 years of d…

Crawling out of our post-Glasto, post-election black hole – we’re back, and the Tories have been stopped by a massive Labour win. We talk about lifting the onshore wind farm ban, banning bee-killing pesticides, and halting new oil and gas licenses, plus Moggy is out... The Tory party leader merry-go-round continues unabashed, and we need a new seas…

Giant Batteries, Bob Vylan, climate deniers and Dale’s multi stage tour - that’s just Glasto - we also cover the election (obvs), some bandwagon jumping and the latest from Hamasgate, with Guido in the dock.Oleh Dale Vince

This week, we're in a whirlwind of events. Dale's shares his excitement about the upcoming election, comparing it to a kid waiting for Christmas. He shares his experiences marching for nature with Chris Packham and Emma Thompson. We tackle the 'cow in the room' - the massive role animal agriculture plays in the nature and climate crisis. Plus, we d…

This week, we’ve got Newsnight behind the scenes, Reform’s not-manifesto, Farage being ‘stitched up’, and a GB News apology in the dead of night. While we run a calculator over Cameron’s infamous ‘cut the green crap’ period, there’s a new development on the popcorn front, and we look at the idea of vegan ghettos… all with a sprinkling of fab listen…

This week, Europe has outbreaks, but our right wing nut in the chair is from the unreformed party (it’s proper nutty). We talk elections as ‘Two Fleets’ Sunak launches the manifesto we all knew was coming, and we look at the $41 trillion the world just spent on the climate. We talk dangerous food, McDonald's, ice cream, and the four big industries …

Spoilt this week by an abundance of right-wing nuttery - headlined by Tice claiming ‘it was the sun wot did it.’ We try desperately not to mention Coutinho (and fail), but it was a Godzilla-sized solar farm that that did for us. We talk paratroopers with passports, part of Farage’s legacy, as he parachutes into the election (and Tice’s chair). This…

Giant Redwoods and little ones, green dystopias, and the white blokes wot did it – we've got a shed full of wing nuttery. We look at a stunning new viewpoint on green energy and ask how many Tory MPs have voted for positive climate action since Cameron the Husky Hugger... the answer may surprise you. New food stats suggest Brits are so over meat, a…

As Sunak fires the starting gun and Just Stop the Tories approaches the end game... we've got a bag of right-wing nuts, some China nonsense, and Dale talking meat taxes with The Sun. Staying on a food theme, we also look at Fish and Ships. All capped off with a weather update and punctuated by a fab selection of listener questions. You gotta love i…

"We have a new headline act in the right wing nut box this week and a support act nobody ever heard of. And then there’s Right Said Fred. We ask that favourite question of all right wingers and climate procrastinators - ‘what about India?' We put ourselves in the shoes of vegans with smelly meat eating neighbours, have a quick look at Great British…

In this week's jam packed episode our right wing nut section threatens to takeover as we revisit Moggy gate and update on a slew of legal actions that, one by one - are being lost. We welcome a Labour MP to the fold and introduce a new jingle - the tumbleweed... Green energy makes big strides towards the global takeover we all need, April offers mo…

This week kicks off with our fave - the right wingnuts… There’s a legal update and we talk about Rees-Mogg, the posh man’s Julia Hartley-Brewer, and his claims so wildly untrue they’re almost laughable - we fact check him, hard (and yes, it riles Dale up...). The Welsh Government plans to clamp down on exactly this kind of thing - making it illegal…

Several overlapping Right-Wing Nut stories this week, a reform candidate that makes Julia Hartley-Brewer look like Mother Theresa, wind energy in Britain kicks butt on the grid, the EU exits a very bad deal (but stays on the hook) - we have a new study on food, questions about Taylor Swift's footprint - and we ask does the SNP have a self-destruct …

We’ve enough Right-wing Nuts this week to whip up a decent bar snack - Dale gets a touch of PTSD from an encounter with Julia Hartley-Brewer and Ian fills us in on the latest stranger than fiction Tory MP. Beyond satire this crew. Meanwhile Dale has a new battle underway with Big Diamond. Biblical flooding in Dubai should concern us all, but not th…

Thrill packed episode this one as Dale takes us through a fake Net Zero project the government has given permission for. With lawsuits flying in the right-wing nut space, we examine what on earth is going on in the water industry. Plus a look at global temperatures and positive feedback loops (not as good as it might sound), while M&S research show…

From racist Reform party candidates to Tory sex scandals, we've got a no holds barred episode of Zerocarbonista. The hot topic this week is when is an apology not an apology? The answer is when it comes from a wig wearing, right-wing nut spreading lies about Dale. Things get more serious when we learn about the 57 companies linked to 80% of greenho…

Rip-roaring episode this week as we take our usual irreverent look at the green and ungreen news of the week, featuring Brexit: the gift that keeps (not) giving, a new approach to wing nuts, more mud-slinging at Dale, what's threatening Easter eggs and - to our ability to think, free of criminal charges... punctuated as ever by fab questions.…

It's been a very eventful week for Dale, as we look at Sunak’s dodgy donors, his mathematically challenged plan to burn more fossil fuels and we circle back to the costs of 'cutting the green crap’. Plus, we have some mind-blowing stats on warming oceans, more Right Wing Nuts popping up, and Dale talks about his recent book events for Manifesto.…

Dale and Ian are in fine form this week tearing up Hunt’s budget and talking up Dale’s alternative green one - it’s pulled straight from the latest edition of Dale’s book Manifesto. Zerocarbonista bravely delves into the depths of Rishi Sunak’s state of mind and we learn about the poison linking bees, Brexit and erm…Piers Morgan - and a Labour ban.…

Sunak reclaims the “Right Wing Nut” title, rather easily with last week’s stunts… mobs with tractors are ok apparently. Mexico City approaches “Day Zero” - the day 22 million people run out of water, and we look at the sheer madness of everything about Drax; granted billions in subsidies for burning rare Canadian forests - while claiming green cred…

Dale’s got a new nickname. It’s mega but what’s the significance? We discuss who’s rigging our legal system against climate activists in the midst of the hottest February ever recorded. Speaking of the Tories, there’s some double bluffing going on, and would a government department ever bury bad news for farmers? Plus Dale waxes lyrical on wind-pow…

Dale chats with a brand new Right Wing Nut this week, as a bombshell mega poll predicts Armageddon for the Tories at the next election. With the UK now in a recession, have Sunak’s five pledges vapourised? We talk EV charging apps, Veganuary hitting a new record, and why we need a new category to classify mega-hurricanes. Plus, we expose the true c…

A fiery episode this one. Labour’s £28 billion green pledge, has it been ditched or not? The truth is somewhere in the middle. It’s been a disastrous week for Sunak the gambler, he’s truly hit rock bottom. While records are breaking left, right and centre (and not good ones), the world experiences its first entire year of 1.5 degrees. Truss launche…

This week, we look at the Government’s absurd anti Veganuary advertising blitz, a Tory donor’s North Sea flares (not the fashion faux pas kind). With echoes from Big Tobacco, a new investigation shows that Big Oil knew they were causing the climate crisis 70 years ago! There’s some good news from down under, well in a relative sense - and finally, …

We’ve jam packed loads into this one, leaving you with a more positive outlook on what lies ahead. Ecotricity earns a prestigious award, while Shadow Sec Thangam Debbonaire visits FGR ahead of the Green Football Weekend. As ministers are being urged to steer clear of culture wars over species reintroductions, Biden strikes a historic decision to st…

Dale braves the icy winds outside Wembley for the big Green Football Weekend launch, and gives us an update on what’s going on at FGR. We delve into the environmental impact of bottom trawling, uncovering how this practice releases a staggering amount of CO2 carbon annually. That's just the tip of the iceberg, as we explore the alarming reality of …

Dale explains why we must ‘just stop the Tories’ - and it’s all in the news; 2023 is confirmed as the hottest year ever and Sunak plans to pour more oil on the fire (with ever more North Sea drilling) - while his gaslighting of the the country on energy bills faces friendly fire. While on another part of our stricken planet, or maybe on another pla…

As Dale returns from his extended break with fresh hope, we’re smacked back to reality as our counterfactual Prime Minister Sunak continues to gaslight the country. Fortunately, his popularity is dwindling; he ranks top choice for PM in only four constituencies (not even his own one). We discuss bio methane production and organic farming, wooden wi…

It’s the last episode this side of Dale’s favourite event of the year - we kick off with an important update at FGR and talk air pollution, artificial rain and a new kind of snow. Your questions then take us to the next election, our dodgy democracy, living in caves and un-inventing things, like Right Wing radio stations. Happy Solstice everyone an…

Dale shares his final assessment of COP28 and why there’s reasons to be cheerful. We debunk a long list of porkies from Sunak, whether a ban on SUVs would be a hit, and why going nuclear isn’t the answer. Plus more on food, ULEZ, Andy Burnham’s new electrification scheme, and how PR can take the sting out of party tribalism?…

Dale is in complete disbelief as COP28 President Al Jaber says there’s “no science” behind the phasing out of fossil fuels, claiming it would take the world back into caves. A climate denier is running the show into the ground! Meanwhile, Europeans are cutting down on meat consumption, with Sir David Attenborough urging us to switch to a plant-base…

Dale receives a threatening letter from the DVLA over his electric bike, but fear not as we spill the beans on COP28 and how big meat companies are planning a large presence there. With Portugal running solely on renewables for 6 days straight, Dale has some new stats to share on China’s phenomenal push for renewables. We also dissect Branson’s lat…

Where’s the green stuff in the budget? We looked everywhere and couldn’t find it. Dale remembers the time he met David Cameron. Also, it turns out you’re able to call somebody ‘Tory Scum’ - it’s actually a basic right of law. There’s some data that suggests veganism is on the decline, but Dale is pretty sure this is statistical chicanery. We talk a…

It's been quite a week. Braverman has finally been sacked for hate speech, concluding her tenure by stating that Sunak has “no mandate to be PM”. David Cameron is back, who infamously talked about ‘cutting the green crap’. Will he now end his time in the Foreign Office talking about cutting the brown crap? A conflict of interest emerges as the new …

We’re on course for the hottest year on record, yet King Charles announces the exploration of new oil and gas licenses. Are we in the Twilight Zone? Dale’s asked what he’d do if he were PM, how the Dutch are using sewage to power homes, and Dale debunks the Tory’s energy security myth. Plus, how can we encourage more people to ditch meat? And despi…
