Dale Vince's Zerocarbonista

Piracy, hijacking, murder and kidnapping - that’s just from our ‘closest ally’ - the USA.   Hypocrisy on steroids from the West, Europe lost for words.  Who will or can stop Trump - with Greenland is in his sights.  Meanwhile NASA’s new radar finds a lost city, under the ice….of Greenland.  We bank a record year for green energy, Octopus banks a bad one and plays a bad game. Britain’s EV revolution powers on - the end of Diesel is in sight….China overtakes Musk. And Dale shows illuminates the fake ‘battle' between food and energy in the countryside. ...

Climate refugees. The Animal (whatever Act) and the beginning of the end for factory farming. Reform, Farage dogging (the hunting ban). Cornwall’s octopi bloom. The London Stock Exchange with June Sarpong - Bondi Beach fallout, Winter Solstice, White Christmas dreams, Nuclear Energy and the Romans, and different view of Crimbo.  It’s not Ed or Labour wot did it - the greenest xmas on the grid ever. 

Energy bills, electric car bans, banks behaving badly, and the climate crisis - have we lived through it before? The Swiss Army Beaver, Netanyahu and anti-semitism, Dale in the eye of the storm.  And June Sarpong.  Eclectic and electric.  Data centres, Universities and dead end jobs - and the DNA of Polar Bears.

Election fraud, Farage, turkey gobbling, Xmas jumpers. Eurovision, Israel and Palestine.  The global green economy, heat pumps, Miliband, electric cars, Sizewell.  The budget, wind energy and batteries - what impact breaking the link has on incentive to build - and beavers.  Ecotalk shines in the Times.  White Storks in London and re-wilding the wildlife crisis - one meal at a time.  Choose what you chews - more wisely. 

Gaza Cola, Mobiles in a bucket and blackouts in London.  The return of Johnson, the burning ban, Ecotalk on fire, beavers incoming - and the mad water cost of fighting the climate crisis (the big oil way). The energy bill hokey cokey, burger facts to chew on and (pls) let us eat grass.

And so much more, the ClusterMusk enters the lexicon, Dale and Reform agree about something, it’s worth a billion a year….the budget lands, COP30 resonates (is it a death rattle?) - and Babelfish…..hits the streets of London, first edition - Truth about Power.  In surprising news, British Gas supports a wealth tax - we ask does Octopus.  Ultra Processed Food is a big problem (with or without the cow).  And the Germans are coming for our sausages.

The Millionaire roadshow, FGR go top of the league Ma and Dale fact checks himself. Is China our secret climate weapon? Will COP 30 deliver anything? And a new defence for eco protestors - from the Government?  Along with Cola from Gaza, the slow motion train crash of Reform and a listener question to which Dale says - Monday.

Ethical consumers, standing up for Palestine, no money for the Amazon, COP 30 - what is it good for.? The world’s biggest hypocrite and king of fake news - and a near miss in Aldershot. We crunch the numbers for a fabulous listener question - and the stats that show why climate denial should be illegal.

This week - from vegan sea gulls to stunning football - the new study that destroys the fairy tales of Farage, Badenoch and even Octopus….The exit tax that gives a budget clue, poisonous tap water and what did privatisation ever do for us? Musk descends deeper into his hole …. and Reform’s promises evaporate on contact.  An awesome listener observation - a tale of two bacons in the Guardian ….and Dale fact checks himself - with FFS.

This week we got Piers Morgan, reborn as a woke person - Tony Blair, reborn as a green eyed monster and Reform - just being themselves.  Dale wins a pair of legal judgements, putting Reform’s Tice back in the dock along with the Daily Mail and a pre-internet media law (sounds like an oxymoron).  Supervillain oil and gas company Shell are in hot water for making typhoons… Ban the Bacon gathers pace and our listeners get down to it - with Zac P and grass questions.

Dale joins Chris Packham and Feargal Sharkey in a protest. Reform perform for us all. An Israeli football club pulls a Prince Andrew… Octopus shows us it can count (beyond 8) and Ed gives the game away… fabulous woolly question from a fan and an X-rated ban.

The Wealth Tax cometh, the Paris target is behind us - we go all ‘Cow in the Room’ with the Red Tractor in the dock, escaped salmon in the Loch and new life in concrete blocks. Dale pumps the Trump and our listeners tell us how the Dutch do it. Over on X-rated corner the diss attempts fall flat as Dale put’s 'em straight - ain’t no bad thing being called a girl.

This week - The invisible conference, King Coal dethroned and the green energy Six Pointer. Uncle Sam’s Fat Beardo problem and Blair’s new war zone gig. Farage makes Dale an offer - while members plan green energy investment. We ask, is Octopus the new mouthpiece of the right and this Jenrick bloke - litter picking in Brum? We find sanity in our listener questions….and fun in X Rated corner.

Oh and we tease next week….Terrorists v freedom fighters

The Giga Poll launches at an Endurance event - it's what Britain really thinks. Along with social media fun on a ladder - the green economy in one minute and Dale’s view on Keir’s speech – oh, and why the public is pissed off.  A cup of tea with Margaret Thatcher stuns the Daily Telegraph... and Full Metal Ed ends it all with a bang.

Meanwhile - Palestine is a country... who knew – Dale recounts the event, heckles Jezza who has a snappy comeback and leaves in tears. Ian shares the etymology of Tosspot, while we explore a...

Fake news on the left and the right - Dale is a Driller? - Apt when the Leader of the Fact Free world is in town, C4 blows him up - but is he such a bad man...? Dale gets philosophical about the medicine of football and the origin of slurs - and trumps genitals and the animal kingdom.  Listeners take us back to grass for food, plant based populism and energy while X-Rated Corner never disappoints..

Football as medicine, a revelation from Dale and rejection from Reform, Farage meanwhile gets the spoon and we ask if he is dodging tax… China tops the league and Dale wants to save the North Sea, great questions from listeners - green populism and food and parcels of energy, while on X-Rated Corner we’ve some odd ideas about grass and cows…..

Trump might say that but Dale knows. And it’s in the news this week. Meanwhile Farage speaks out for Angie, or does he, Badenoch’s backstory looks bogus, Stroud has a new flag poll, Reform clamps down on free speech.  Robbie Savage sets FGR on fire.  And our X rated corner friends have their usual obsessions. Welcome to the new season - Don’t Panic.

Believe it or not, not everyone is fully on board with Dale! 

Crazy as it sounds, there are a few dissenters and they're only too happy to let him know their thoughts. Enjoy this compilation of slices from X-Rated Corner, before a brand new episode of a brand new series drops on Friday September 5th. That's next week!

We're all looking forward to the next series (current title: TBC) - but in the meantime, here's a second chunk of wholesome goodness from The Cow In The Room to chew on while you're waiting. 

Next up - the X-Rated Corner special, before a brand new ep on Friday September 5.

While the boys take a moment to prepare for the launch of the next series (and come up with a title!), here's a tasty compilation of some of the best bits of Cow In The Room. 

Dale gets a new motor, talks taxes for the rich and justice for the Beanfield, recognition for Palestine, Football on prescription and Octopus in the dock. With a sprinkling of Trump we also look at the Musk mini-me, stomping around councils up north.  And if that’s not enough we got listeners lining up to start the revolution.  While X-rated corner has less frivolous things on it’s mind.  Super fabulous final episode of the series.  And we still need a name……for the next series…

Trump, Superman, zombie fish and adverts on Truth Social… A big legal story and a blizzard of media stuff, vegan shirts, football on prescription, the network for nature and an LBC phone in that nearly lands Dale in jail.  You want more - X-rated Corner has it..:)

The endless heatwave, Reform nonsense over climate emergency, and brilliant ‘Red Ed’.

Sixty Labour MPs make a stand over the state of Palestine – and support for nurses wearing supportive pin badges. Sweeteners for EV cars while 5 million kids can’t be fed. The fishy salmon business repeating itself.

The perfect pitch for a mindful moment. Listeners get us talking about generators at Wembley, ‘breaking the link’ but not the right one – and dressing for the summer.

Bring on the wealth tax, zonal pricing is toast, and Dale’s new moniker ‘Power Baron’.

Trump and Musk bromance well and truly dead… Sadiq Khan’s low-traffic neighbourhoods keeping people alive … and energy use by AI slashed. Fighting the planners over flying Palestinian flag whilst the IDF keeps murdering. And listeners ask about Glasto politics and small windmills. In X-rated corner there’s gripes on tax paid, protesters and vegan food…

Glasto, Kneecap and Vylanous words….the Rabbi with no sense of morality, Ecotricity flies a new flag, FGR get a new manager, onshore wind gets a big boost and a tiny insect turns people vegan….while listeners get us talking about heat pumps, data centres and air pollution - and haircuts….:)

Fresh off a 2-hour interview with the FT, Dale stops in for a chat before he takes his big-arse-battery to Glasto. This week, Trump's got a potty mouth, Ecotricity's customer service is top of the pile, and apparently a bit of paint now counts as terrorism...

China's on fire this week, with an amazing solar energy break through and stunning electric car progress…

While in Britain we're fusion dreaming and factory farmers' dreams - turn to shite.

Our friends on X give us Net Zero talking - pub politics versus vegan bistros…fair play. Even though half a cup of cheap coffee a week pays for your Net Zero cost.

And listeners ask the usual great questions. How much green will it take to bring prices down, how best to long haul electricity?

And what is that bike...

Jam packed week this - Dale has the spending review blues, we talk Sizewell and the simple alternative we already have (it’s not green either) and the dynamite revelation about Hinkley. 

Big focus on homes, affordable or not, the rooftop revolution we need and the Swift brick gets explained.  

Meanwhile economists put a number on the cost of Reform’s Nexit…western media go all estate agent in the Middle East and Dale meets Gordo.  

On point Qs from our listeners rounded off with more X rated nonsense than you can shake a stick a

Dale’s been busy in the media, this weeks right wing nut is the vigilante on the utube, we talk enemies of the state, Thatcher, and the Battle of the Beanfield - call for Drax to come clean or get no more cash - and ask is it the end for heat pumps…..Great questions from our listeners on green gas and stuff, while our X rated friends obsess about what Dale wears.  Jeez.  More green blather than you can shake a stick at.

In the news this week is Breaking the Link (again) this time in the Mirror - as Scotland considers Ecocide and Dale makes the case. Tesla sales dive as the market booms - Carma?  China sets another record - this time as an Electrostate. And competing offshore wind farmers fire up their models and their lawyers over wind theft - or is it queue jumping. A new report shines the light on Cameron’s hideous school dinner law - and we reflect on his relationship with that pig’s head. Our listeners chip in with some great questions and our X...

Dale goes to Europe by rail - pens an op ed on the Eurostar for the Telegraph - and the world changes radically.  Britain lands a trade deal with Europe, Farage says he’ll end it - Keminoch already said that - but would an AI version be a better leader - we think it might.  The RSPCA endorse fish brutality and then don’t, as another exposé empties supermarket shelves. Listener Qs and contributions on X round off another hoot..

Once again we bring news of the good deeds of the Donald.  Tony Blair nearly wins right-wing nut of the week for his crazy pro fossil intervention on behalf of his petro state clients, but he’s pipped by the Tories' energy man who probably believes the Earth is flat and definitely won’t get to do that which he says he will do. We talk Dale writing for the Telegraph on Gaza and the crazy things our Government says about trade - more important than law apparently….breaking the link rears its head again as the man they call ‘R...

This week we look at Trump’s good deeds, from Oz to Canada to China and we invite Richard Tice to come out of the closet.  We open with a libel update, a heat pump story and something called Nexit. And then there’s AI and Crypto - both energy guzzlers, but what does Crypto actually do.  Great listener questions and they’re at it again on X rated corner - gotta love em.

In this week's show, an irrational ex Labour PM joins Farage - in nonsense on net zero. The Telegraph smeared Dale again, then apologised and then donated to Gaza - all in less than a week. In the saga the score stands at 8-0.  Dale finds an unlikely ally in Richard Tice, but only half so and Zero carbon homes are back on the agenda, starting with a new/old rule for new builds. Questions pour in from listeners, not least on ‘breaking the link’ and of course we have some X-rated rantings…..

The need for more Nuclear cops, the MAGA diet that will surely work, more pointless tariffs and a madly big cheque - on one side as we take a dive into something you might call Nexit.  With the usual gaggle of listeners chipping in, not least about the last ice age.

Times Radio out does the Telegraph for a Daily Dale this week as we mix British Steel - energy and a nutty new right wing narrative - about Ed Milliband - with the new line from Nige and Semi, while our contributors in X rated corner make clear just how dangerous that is.  We’ve got a bit of a food focus too as our right wing nut award goes to a Big Farm funded propaganda campaign against science, pesticides are found in our houses (100s of them) and banned substances are in Scottish farmed salmon -  which is an a...

Trump’s tariff assault on the World has unexpected consequences, of course, but this one takes the biscuit.  As factory farming comes under attack, for a reverse pandemic and the rise of superbugs - the public strikes back, we get an update on grass as food.  Ian has a fan but it’s not what it seems.  And a new direct action group start making Citizen’s arrests.  Great questions around electric planes and solar panels along with more laughs in the X-rated corner. Oh and the climate crisis will destroy capitalism - not according to an eco warrior…

Trump versus the weathermen - hedge funds to the rescue?  Tesla and the China Syndrome. California (not so) dreaming, sea water sucking,  woods and trees and net zero ducking.  The return of Cummings! and er what’s Bianca got to do with it….RickAAAY? 

Musk faces market Karma while Trump pumps Tesla, and a tiny tax that could change everything. Dale has a dress code issue with government security and Ian puts on his Reform hat to explain it all. This week's right wing nut Kemi B tells big porkies about net zero in the week a new report paints the clearest picture yet. Over the pond Greenpeace face wipeout in a crazy court decision, while back home Britain’s carbon emissions hit an incredible new record. For clarity in a crazy world don’t miss this.

This week Dale’s looking for a job, animal poo from farms gets a new classification, lab grown food meanwhile is round the corner, the Aussies print a new house, Reform talk farm manure about energy, pylons that can cut your energy bills and a global kickback against the Musk.  Chock full of sense and nonsense - with a sprinkling of X rated corner.  Don’t miss it…:)

We got that, Dale in Tatler, Bezos in third, religious attitudes to this eco stuff, the wealth tax comes back, Drax giving us all the Vs and windmills going dark - who could want more?  We got X rated corner if you do....:)

The “HamasGate” saga endgame approaches as the Daily Mail and Guido Fawkes fold.

We look at a new report from those eco fanatics at the CBI while the fossil fools at BP doubles down. And in its latest report The Climate Change Committee talks cars and kebabs. Dale explains why we need to ‘break the link’ in order to get our bills down - but is anyone listening…..  And on X-rated corner - a bit of S&M.  

This week we brush past the latest improbabilities that are Trump actuals and dive into food and nature. Wolves can help us cut carbon and the eye crushing of shrimps. The Telegraph appear to be Dale’s new media platform as they carry his social media posts as stories - this week Jim Radcliffe and Man Utd in the crosshairs. And then there’s the incredible study of diets using 22 pairs of identical twins…Dale’s gold jacket and No. 10 sleepovers…

Good news for tree huggers. Bad news for the perps of Hamasgate. Green skyscrapers, invisible killers and Trump’s exploding straws. Great audience questions give us Dale's new motor, diamond lessons and Ian gets a roasting - while X-rated corner makes some sense! What is happening...?

This week Dale faces fact-free allegations from the party of corruption. And we go where economists fear to tread - running the numbers on new runways and oil, and we look at the mini nukes that defy the laws of economic gravity. Some bunch of eco loons reckon we can add £57bn to our GDP with green stuff... and avoid three more Brexits with nature stuff… Most surprising of all is the sense we find in X-rated corner.... Don’t miss it.

One article every day for five days looks like an obsession. A mad media week ending with dawn till dusk coverage on Gaza, donations, Heathrow, big green energy projects and a middle eastern connection - a proper eclectic mix with one element in common. And the oxymoron that is Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Has Labour blown its green credentials? And X-rated corner does its thing.

This week - Trump’s withdrawal method, Musk’s Dr Strangelove arm, the heat pump light begins to dawn on Ed and the end of wind in the US as China’s races to zero. Plus deadly jellyfish, natures answer? a zero-carbon airline and Ecotricity’ s plant based canteen. Wrapping up with X-Rated Corner, have FGR signed Ivanka Trump……Don’t miss it.

We’ve got it all, US flat earthers land in Blighty, Reform want new coal mines - while climate scientists talk of weather whiplash. One side is hideously wrong. Meanwhile, is Veganuary flopping? Who says we need more roads to get to net zero and X-Rated corner gives us a fact - you couldn’t make that up..:)

Trump out-Trumps himself - with his imperial ambitions for Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal… while his new his bro Musk wants to run Britain. Biz bosses earn astounding sums but can’t pay tax - while the climate crisis does untold economic harm last year. And Trump wants to ban wind - that just sounds odd. We have X-rated corner for light relief though..:)

In this episode we explore a pivotal year - from Labour’s game-changing election win, the global surge in renewables, hitting that 1.5 degree target a decade too soon and warnings of more to come. Dale breaks down the good and the bad - and the bold solutions emerging for the coming year - as we approach the start of the second half of that vital last decade the UN said we had - in which to take bold action. What’s next in the fight for our future...?

This episode we got Big Food trying to stop cows from farting, Musk trying to pollute our politics, we hear about Dale’s week in the High Court, his visit to the Guardian picket line and some great green energy news. On X rated corner we have fabulous backhanded compliments, Liberace and another conspiracy theory, while regular listeners chip in with Xmas jumper dress codes in schools (yikes) and a villain accused of taking meat from school kids? Bat sh*t crazy way to end the year.

Bendy solar panels can do what? US support for UN climate plans begets fury. Milk can’t be called milk… and a wooden football stadium is now nailed on. Musk threatens to distort British politics - Reform already does that... while X Rated corner continues to entertain.

A very special live episode from Liverpool Accelerator City.... :)

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

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 the audience - keep 'em coming.

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.

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...:)

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 a fab dose of listener questions, and X rated icing on the cake.

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 trees from far-flung countries - to feed the beast. Our listeners chip in with brilliant contributions - not least X rated corner - I think I love these guys...:)

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 is what it is...:)

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 too – breaking a dirty salmon farming story live on ITV, followed by another on snares and a Duke. Fab questions, great intervention from Julie, and some humorous names in our X-rated corner...

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, and I share my own sausage moment on Sky News...:) Plus, we chat about the bizarre Green 100 list placing Theresa May above me, and finish with fab questions on everything from school meals to protein made from grass... Oh, and that bloke Musk.

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 Thatcher did… weird, and then discover Counterfactual Corner… you gotta love it…:)

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 the right-wing in the polar bear-saving agenda. Plus, some simply fabulous listener questions, including a new X-rated section. Oh, and do you know which animal in Britain kills the most humans…?

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 a bang, not least with the 10 million tonne question…

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 election campaign called Just Vote - and the actual election at which we did indeed Just Stop the Tories.  Not sure Season 6 can top that, but who knows.  Still needs a name...

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.

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 Tory MPs, public misconceptions on green energy, and the evolving role of protest. With a fabulous bunch of audience questions from the horse’s mouth...:)

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 doing this… and other fab listener questions. Our last episode of the season ends on a high as we look ahead to a live show at WOMAD and the Vegan Camp Out.

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 season title – coz the Tories have been stopped (worth saying twice). Also, we got Grid Faeries powering the Arcadia field at Glasto, and their next gig is Womad, where we'll record the final episode of this series – live onstage...:)

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.

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 dive into how Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites could mess with the Earth's ozone layer when they deorbit. All this with some cracking questions from our listeners...:)

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 listener questions.

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 that are literally licensed to kill us. And the pro-democracy campaign that tried to use the House of Commons to encourage voting - and got shut down by the cops.

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 time, he can only do good because the mission is ‘Just Stop the Tories.’ We look at Sunak repeating the mistakes of Cameron, and Dale reveals a new study that maps 'the cost of cutting the green crap.’...

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, and with fab listener contributions again, we're cooking. All this with just five weeks before this series, ‘Just Stop the Tories,’ comes to a natural end...:)

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 it...:)

"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 Energy and the new gas power station with a typo in its name - plus a couple of fabulous questions. You gotta love it."

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 more records but no new news and a new opinion poll offers a shocking outlook - from the worlds top climate boffins. Fab listener questions again and a hoot all round...:)  

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 for politicians to lie. Big Oil's lies are the stuff of legend, a new expose confirms. Meanwhile, climate change is not the end of the world, says Cambridge Prof, which Dale agrees… We also talk...

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 button.  Oh and some good news for climate protest  and some not so. Keep them fab questions coming.

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 the climate deniers, they have a new theory and as always we’ve got great questions -  on heat pumps, football, birds and windmills... Keep 'em coming.

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 shows the best way of stopping cows from burping and farting… Oh, and a bit of Brexit, punctured with a spot-on listener question.

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 greenhouse gas emissions. There’s yet another Brexit calamity… this time hurting farmers. Plus Dale explains the need to reform the tax laws written by rich people for rich people and why climate denial should be made illegal. Keep your fab q...

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. And we hear about something new you can buy in Tesco - WWF.

We answer more great questions ranging from the threat of AI and ultra processed foods to the House of Lor...

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 credentials. Sunak searches for a “green messenger” that people will trust, clearly he has to go out of house for that. Musk gets a mention. And we answer more great questions (keep 'em coming) and discuss what's new in the third edition of Manif...

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-powered oil tankers, and we get a green gas update. Keep those questions coming! 

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 cost of “cutting the green crap” within housebuilding, why the Atlantic Ocean is nearing tipping point, and Dale’s favourite recent climate success story.

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 launches the oxymoronic Popular Conservatives campaign for secret Tories (bringing laughable results) as the election looks like a six pointer on green issues. Plus we answer some cracking questions.

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, from fossil fuels to political dinosaurs, we take look at the cost of ‘cutting the green crap’ all those years ago by the man who’s back in government now instead of being extinct.

Plus, Dale a...

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 stop the largest fossil fuel buildout in US history, coinciding with the EU achieving a record low in emissions.

Plus, Dale answers your great questions, from EVs on the National Grid to whether Starmer should bring back any political beasts, an...

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 Greenland losing millions of tons of (cocktail) ice per hour.   

Plus, Sunak gaslighting of the nation is exposed again and Coffey is up to her usual antics, as we answer your questions about cheese and carbon capt...

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 planet - the United Arab Emirates start shipping European glacier ice to their cocktail bars - seriously.

Plus who’s got the best conspiracy theories, David Icke or the Tories? It’s not a joke...

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 windmills, bonkers dividends from Big Oil, and some surprising ‘lefty/righty’ news - energy Independence reaches the parts climate other concepts can’t. Plus there’s a new downside to Heat Pumps and talk of a Green Dragon’s Den. 

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 and see you in the new year!

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-based diet to best protect nature. Britain is set to miss the Paris Climate Targets thanks to Sunak’s lies - why haven’t the Tories woken up and smelt the flowers yet? Keep your great questions coming in! 

Duration: 00:19:42

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 latest PR stunt involving sustainable jet fuel, and answer your questions on energy caps, heat pumps, and if Starmer really is the answer.
