China cracks down on protests as Xi Jinping struggles to contain the failure of Zero Covid. Apple and Elon Musk spar over whether the tech giant is actively trying to bring Twitter down. The Dutch government tries a new tack to try to shut down food production in the name of the climate. And in this week’s short thought – a politician in the jungle reveals how far removed from reality you become if you let yourself be a hater.

Has the time arrived when worries about climate change could create a genuine mass movement – would that even be a good thing? Would it look like Extinction Rebellion, and if not, why not? How can we learn from the most 'successful' mass movements in history? Let’s discuss.
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.

One side on the climate change debate thinks that the science is completely on its side. The other side thinks that it's faked, or misrepresented. Neither side is following the evidence and then forming its opinion, because that's not how our brains work!
We explore this, and come up with five ways you can minimise the chances that you're ignoring the actual evidence and simply looking for those parts that justify your pre-held opinion.

A new study has found much more plastic in bottled water in the form of nanoparticles - so tiny they can get into your bloodstream and from there even enter your cells - to what effect, we don't know. Some of the news coverage has been explosive and panicked. Is such a reaction supported by the actual research, and what is a measured response to something that could be a genuine problem since it's pretty much everywhere? Let's discuss.

Boris Johnson is finally felled as a long downward spiral comes to an end China brings in and then abandons vaccine mandates as the UK and some other countries are showing an unexplained increase in non-covid deaths. The EU sees turmoil as it classifies nuclear and gas as green and Dutch farmers protest draconian laws on nitrogen. And in this week’s short thought, I reflect on what makes for effective leadership, even as we wonder when we might again see it in political life.

A few years ago, one researcher caused a huge stir with a study that suggested you could fit more than a trillion additional trees on the planet - and that it would be good for the climate if you did. It worked. People took up planting trees in a big way - and then, the message changed. What's going on? Let's have a look.

I asked what I should make a video about, and a majority requested a response to this recent release that has been being 'bigged up' as ground-breaking and the answer to 'net zero madness'. Sounds fun - let's have a look.
