"I know that I am complicit," says Nathaniel Popkin in the new episode of the podcast Stand Up! with Pete Dominick. "It's truly a weight on me."

He's talking, of course, of the responsibility all of us bear for the climate crisis, the subject of his book TO REACH THE SPRING. And he relates this long-term danger to our present experience with the pandemic.

Nathaniel's portion begins at 1:17:29. Some other snippets:
  • "The heating of the earth is going to create more pandemic diseases."
  • "You can see the ways in which the male ego gets in the way of making policy."
  • "I think it's possible for us to get it … that we're in this together."
  • "Ordering from Uber Eats a bag of fries - we're all complicit.… [Yet] most human beings are part of the capital system as victims."
  • "We have known, more than previous generations … in detail … that we are the killer here [of the Earth], also that we are the victim.… And yet we go on, sort of blindly."
  • "This is a book about thinking about how to think about this issue."
