If the planet is going to see more extreme hot weather, and even droughts in the coming decades, what can we do to protect the millions of people that would be affected? And why are the environmentalists who most care about climate change apparently lined up against some of those measures? Let’s find out, and see what we can learn from the experience of a previous initiative, namely Golden Rice, the GMO rice that was created to address vitamin A deficiency and bitterly opposed by Greenpeace. The Mallen Baker Show is aimed at all people who see themselves as change makers, with commentary on issues and change movements with a particular focus on climate change and environment, social issues, free speech and corporate social responsibility.

This video is different to my usual types - I respond to a suggestion to talk about why people are feeling lost in our current age - what are the factors creating alienation, leading to all sorts of consequences we'd probably rather avoid? And if you personally feel the same - what could you start to do about it?

A major climate change bill suddenly appears in the US when everyone was least expecting it. More signs of the health impact of lockdowns are emerging but people are instead focusing on monkeypox. The UK NHS shuts down the Tavistock gender clinic whose rush to prescribe puberty blockers was labelled a danger to children. And in this week’s short thought, is body positivity something to be embraced or roundly rejected?

In this video, we look at the character, the influences and the objectives of Vladimir Putin. There’s nothing more important than understanding the people affecting your world – and avoiding the trap we often make of allowing moral judgements to cloud our perceptions to the point where we mistake their intent, and their likely next moves. This is not about excusing what they have done, or condemning what they have done. Understand first without preconception – then you can decide what you do with that insight.
