The Shadow Minister for the Environment was a high profile activist against US bases and nuclear energy and weapons. As a member of the Labor party those views are no longer allowed.
This sound piece contrasts his view over time set to Midnight Oil music. Hear the former head of the Nuclear Disarmament Party’s voice crack as he avoids reporter’s questions. Hear him do a 180 degree turn on US bases over his eighties hit, ‘Short memory’. Weep as you realise the incredible power of the lyrics which he can no longer sing.
Listen to a great man turn into a worm.

The interview with Adrian Whitehead of Zero Emissions Network, where he describes the outcomes of a four degree rise in average surface temperature of the globe, is now available for download.
In this interview, Adrian outlines the probabilities of various climate change events taking place. The statement that has terrified many Generator listeners is that we now face a one percent chance of a four degree rise in temperature. A four degree rise in temperature is the end of life on earth as we know it.
