Despite escalating climate disasters across the Global North - from deadly floods in Germany to devastating hurricanes in the United States - we're witnessing alarming rightward shifts instead of rational policy responses.

Countries experiencing climate catastrophes also often elect their most conservative governments shortly afterward, which suggests our traditional assumption that climate impacts drive climate action has fundamentally failed.

Tadzio Mueller, a prominent global climate activist, sees collapse as inevitable but also sees a future worth organizing for.

On this episode of Breaking Green, Mueller describes what he calls the Just Collapse Movement.

Panganga Pungowiyi, an Indigenous mother and climate geoengineering organizer from Sibokuk in the Dena'ina Islands, shares her community's historical trauma and resistance against experimental climate technologies deployed without consent. Her powerful testimony reveals how colonial patterns of exploitation continue today through geoengineering experiments that ignore Indigenous sovereignty and knowledge systems.

• Military contamination during the Cold War left lasting environmental damage and health impacts including cancer and Parkinson's disease
• Climate geoengineering experiments are being conducted in Indigenous territories without free, prior and informed consent
• Researchers spread silica beads on Arctic ice
• Carbon capture technologies primarily benefit fossil fuel companies through enhanced oil recovery rather than addressing climate change
• Indigenous cosmovision views humans as part of nature, not above it, making ecosystem manipulation fundamentally problematic
• Outside researchers fail to understand Arctic ecosystems, where ice movement and marine life cycles would be disrupted by interventions
• True climate solutions require addressing oppression and restoring Indigenous rights rather than technological quick-fixes
