It’s not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what’s left, it starts to look like a crime scene: Decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawless Planet, host Zach Goldbaum reveals the scams, murders and cover-ups on the frontline of the climate crisis, and the life and death choices people are making to either protect our world – or destroy it.

The Bombing of the Rainbow Warrior
Greenpeace has a long history of successful direct action protest, but their work has made a lot of enemies.

This week, we’re bringing you a story about an earlier chapter in the organization’s history, when they faced a different kind of attack.

The Long Fight to Keep the Lights on in Gaza
Two years after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023, Israel continues its brutal military assault in Gaza. But long before the current conflict, Israeli strikes on infrastructure, control over fuel, and precarious grid access made electricity a flashpoint. This episode is about how energy became another weapon of war, how electrical power begets political power, and what it means when both can be switched off at a moment's notice.  Special thanks to: Ghada Abdulfattah https://muckrack.com/ghada-abdulfattah/articles Michael Barron, author of The Gaza Marine Story: The Politics and Intrigue Behind Palestine’s Untapped Gas Wealth See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Killing Exposes the Dirty Side of Clean Energy
In the aftermath of a right-wing coup in 2009, Honduras invested in several new clean energy projects, including a hydroelectric dam on a river sacred to the local indigenous population.

Who Blew Up the Nord Stream Pipeline?

A Gorilla Massacre in Africa's Oldest National Park
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a massacre of gorillas in Virunga National Park highlights the constant threat of violence from militias, poachers and gangsters.
