It's up to us to make this happen and Professor Rupert Read, with his long history of climate action through the Green Party, Extinction Rebellion and his writing, is well placed to make this happen.\nHe's also the originator of the name, 'Thrutopia' - laying out the need for a Thrutopian genre in the Huffington Post back in 2017.  As we head towards the Thrutopia Masterclass and endeavour to make this happen, Rupert and Manda discuss the need for this genre and how it might look and feel.\nThrutopia Masterclass: https://thrutopia.life \nRupert's Website: https://rupertread.net\nRupert's Paper: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/rupert-read/thrutopia-why-neither-dys_b_18372090.html/\nIPCC report: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_SummaryForPolicymakers.pdf\nUrsula le Guin: The Dispossessed: https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-dispossessed/9781473228412\nLawyers for net zero https://www.lawyersfornetzero.com\nClimate Emergency Centres network https://climateemergencycentre.co.uk\nMothership https://mothership.sg/2021/09/climate-crisis-halimah/\nGuardian article on fish: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/17/trawling-for-fish-releases-as-much-carbon-as-air-travel-report-finds-climate-crisis","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2fOWMRnTk9Jq1cMNEdZ2P6L9hSacKWpQNA4zTc1F1F4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNjRl/ZmU1NTg1MWQ2NmFl/MzkzZGIzNjlhYTU4/OTM0NS5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
