The most insidious form of climate denial is no longer, "It's not happening," but the belief that incremental or tech solutions will solve this crisis.

1/6 Take electric vehicles. As demand grows, so does the need for cobalt; 70% of which is mined in the DRC.

This has led to an explosion in human rights abuses; from child labour, to miners being buried alive when tunnels cave in. Workers make as little as £2 per day.

This is terrifying.

Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story.

Earlier this year I was approached to appear on this show #TheActivist

I was contacted by someone "looking for passionate activists who are actively engaged in making an impact in the areas of environment, health, education, and reducing world hunger."

I took a call with them. They spoke about bringing activists together to solve global challenges. Yet every question I asked received an evasive answer - what's the purpose? How are they finding activists? Is it about collaboration? How are they platforming folks who have been historically excluded?
