The climate crisis is everywhere online, in the campaigns, the greenwashing ads, the clicktivism invites. And yet something about the way we talk about it on the internet keeps us spinning. In this episode of Social Sleuth, we talk with Dr. William K. Carroll about ecocide: what it is, how fossil capitalism got us here, and why the systems driving the crisis can't be the ones to fix it.
Bill recenters the conversation in a way that's clarifying rather than demoralizing, drawing on his book Refusing Ecocide: From Fossil Capitalism to a Livable World and his work co-directing the Corporate Mapping Project with Shannon Daub.
If you've felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or numbed by climate content online, this episode is a reset. Structural thinking, clear analysis, and a genuine argument for why a livable world is still possible.
