Join us in the first of a series of conversations between Stuart Scott and Dr. Peter Carter as they discuss Stuart's life as an Eco Warrior and the influences that lead him to this path.
Many highlights in Stuart's life are touched upon such as:
- How Peter observed and was impressed with Stuart's messages and interviews given at the UN Conference of the Parties (COP) events, resulting in them contacting each other and following each other's path in educating people about the seriousness of climate change.
- Stuart using his appearances at COP as a dissident voice and an investigative video journalist hacking the system to speak the truth about what was really happening, which was an elaborate show with little being accomplished.
- Clips from some of his more prominent interviews at COP.
- How this series of conversations was conceived as an opportunity to perhaps inspire other activists.
- Some of Stuart's early childhood experiences, particularly his experience as a stage magician and how that influenced his communication strategies.
- How he gained an understanding of human attention, and cognitive psychology and how Stuart used this knowledge for good to explain difficult concepts.
- His insight and frustration with the climate denial campaign.
- His presence and involvement as a student during the Columbia uprising in 1968 in NYC.
- How the system we live in promotes to the highest levels the people that are willing to turn a blind eye to the damage we're doing to the environment. The role that our economic system plays in this.
