It's May 13th. This day in 1957, oceanographer Roger Revelle offered testimony to Congress about the perilous effects of carbon in the Earth's atmosphere.Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by climate journalist Amy Westervelt to discuss how the warnings about climate change were being presented much earlier than we may realize, and how voices like Revelle were ignored -- and then undermined -- by government and corporations.Be sure to check out Amy's work with Drilled and more here!Find out more at thisdaypod.comThis Day In Esoteric Political History is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.Your support helps foster independent, artist-owned podcasts and award-winning stories.If you want to support the show directly, you can do so on our website: ThisDayPod.comGet in touch if you have any ideas for future topics, or just want to say hello.

Today, we're sharing an episode of Drilled, a podcast about climate change hosted by investigative journalist Amy Westervelt. This is the first in a three-part miniseries on how Mobil Oil VP Herb Schmertz helped pave the way for corporate free speech, linking the Powell Memo to key Supreme Court cases like Bellotti and Citizens United. These efforts in the 1970s set the stage for the climate lawsuits moving through U.S. courts today. Explore the rest of Drilled Season 9 at https://drilled.media/.

How does trauma show up?Kosha Joubert is the CEO of the pocket project and NGO dedicated to exploring and healing collective trauma. She joined me to discuss the impacts that collective trauma has on our bodies, on our systems and how it can even explain the way we are seemingly barreling towards even further destruction rather than turning towards healing.

In this special post-New York Climate Week episode, we dive deep into the takeaways from one of the most significant global gatherings on climate action. Joined by two thought leaders in the climate tech space—Colin Mahoney, communications strategist and founder at Mahoney Communications, and Ted Dillon, COO at Clean Energy Ventures—we reflect on how the week unfolded and what it means for the future of climate innovation and policy.Key Highlights:New York Climate Week 2024 Vibe: Ted and Colin share their experiences hosting major events, engaging with industry insiders, and observing key shifts in climate tech discourse. They reflect on how adaptation and the complexities of funding climate solutions dominated discussions this year.Adaptation Takes Center Stage: Colin highlights a noticeable rise in conversations about climate adaptation—preparing for the climate impacts we can no longer avoid. This marks a significant shift from previous years where mitigation took precedence.Financing Challenges and Opportunities: Ted discusses the ever-present issue of scaling climate solutions, focusing on the missing middle of financing between early-stage investment and full-scale commercialization. What needs to change for groundbreaking technologies to get the capital they need to cross the “valley of death”?Tackling the ESG Backlash: The guests explore how the political rhetoric against ESG investments is impacting climate tech fundraising. Despite the pushback, Ted and Colin argue that ESG and impact investment principles are more crucial than ever in driving capital to the right places.Real Talk on Toxic Positivity: Colin responds to critics like Amy Westervelt who argue that New York Climate Week has a tendency to overlook the grim realities of climate change. He offers a candid take on how positivity is sometimes necessary to stay motivated in the face of overwhelming climate challenges Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The election is less than two months away and neither candidate has laid out specific terms or plans for environmental policies if they were to win the election. Here's what we do know.The Trump administration was vocally critical of policies meant to protect the environment and pursued policies that would retrace protective measures. Recently, it was reported that former president Donald Trump promised to ease regulations on big oil companies if they supported his campaign to the tune of $1 billion. Meanwhile, the Biden White House has been praised by some climate activists for its more progressive measures to implement pro-climate policies. It's easy to assume that Vice President Harris would follow in Biden's footsteps if she wins the election, however, no one is sure.In this episode, host Kai Wright discusses why there is lack of clarity on climate issues from the candidates with award-winning journalist Amy Westervelt, founder of the Critical Frequency Network. They also explore why there seems to be less discussion of climate change, not only from politicians, but from the general public as well.  Tell us what you think.

Starting a new publication or production network has long been a big dream for many freelance journalists. Some have become disenfranchised with the status quo of how publications are run and are contemplating striking out on their own. Others see an opportunity to fill a niche that's been overlooked. But what does it take to bring a new media company from idea to execution? In this episode, Wudan talks with Amy Westervelt.  Amy is an award-winning investigative journalist working in print and audio who covers accountability and the climate crisis. She's been working as a freelancer for over 20 years, and has written for NPR, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and more.

Whether or not we get to a complete and total collapse or we're looking at collapses of very specific systems for it…  Right now I'm concerned with modeling what we want on the other side as best as possible so that whether or not it's a person or a machine learning algorithm as artificial intelligence, when it's looking back on the things that is basing its future decisions on, that it's not just the dominant systems that got us into this mess.Ian Garrett is Producer for Mixed Reality Performance collective Toasterlab; and director of the Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts, a think tank on sustainability in arts and culture, as well as Associate Professor of Ecological Design for Performance at York University. He maintains a design practice focused on the integration of ecology, technology and scenography.My first conversation with Ian was during e54 called empowering artists and took place by zoom on May 25, 2021. At the time we were both serving on the Mission Circle of SCALE but had been exchanging about art and sustainability for years. This time we met in person on Monday June 18, 2024 at Ian's home in Toronto where he lives with wife Justine and their two dual citizens, Miles and Henrietta as their dog Maggie whom you'll hear in the background once in a while. We talked about the many interconnections between his work as designer, producer, educator, and researcher in the field of sustainability in arts and culture as well as spoke of the challenges facing the art and climate movement in Canada.It was especially interesting for me to revisit our 2021 conversation in part because of this statement by Ian that has stayed with me since that time, sometimes inspiring me, sometimes haunting me:I don't want to confuse the end of an ecologically unsustainable, untenable way of civilization working in this moment with a complete guarantee of extinction. There is a future. It may look very different and sometimes I think the inability to see exactly what that future is – and our plan for it - can be confused for there not being one. I'm sort of okay with that uncertainty, and in the meantime, all one can really do is the work to try and make whatever it ends up being more positive. There's a sense of biophilia about it.There is clearly more uncertainty now than ever but as you'll hear Ian does a lot of positive work for the benefit of the arts community and that we are best served to be both aware of our pain and grief while being fully engaged in action for a future we cannot yet see but is unfolding.Ian recommends Groundworks (2022) documentary about ‘restorying' land in California (contact Ian to view)Antarctica by Kim Stanley RobinsonDrilled podcast by Amy Westervelt (oil industry in Guyana)Outside In (new hampshire public radio) about social infrastructure, notably the 'Powerline' seriesIn Too Deep by Rachel Kimbro *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHere is a link for more information on season 5.

When people started saying that John D. Rockefeller Jr. was responsible for the deaths of two women and 11 children near a coal mine in Colorado, he decided to do something unusual. He hired “the father of public relations.” Scott Martelle's book is Blood Passion: The Ludlow Massacre and Class War in the American West. Amy Westervelt's podcast is called Drilled.

Truth is stranger than fiction—but fiction is better written.We know their playbooks and their networks, but the bad guys of this story are in no rush to change their tactics. From funding dodgy research to bleating lies on prime time television, the fossil fuel industry and its allies are audaciously villainous. They'd been getting away with it for decades—but now independent media has them running scared.Amy Westervelt is an award-winning investigative climate journalist and media founder with 20 years on the climate beat. Her investigations have exposed the worst crimes of the fossil fuel industry, and she now leads an international team of climate reporters at Drilled who uncover the connections between governments, industry and policy.She joins me today to discuss their recent exposé of The Atlas Network, the shadowy ecosystem of think tanks pushing for the criminalisation of climate activists all around the world. Amy explains the roots of the network's beginnings in World War Two, its rapid expansion as neoliberalism sunk its teeth into global politics, and its vast grip today on policy-makers around the world. This is a startling conversation, revealing the terrifying reach of right-wing extremism and corporate capture, with Amy suggesting the only path forward may indeed be revolutionary.Planet: Critical is 100% independent and community-powered.

On this week's episode of Lever Time, David Sirota is joined by award-winning climate journalist Amy Westervelt to discuss her recent bombshell report on how news outlets are raking in millions from the fossil fuel industry to produce greenwashed sponsored content. Amy's report reveals how outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, and Politico work directly with the oil and gas industry to produce branded “advertorials,” which straddle the line between advertisements and editorial content. While this financial arrangement raises questions about journalistic biases and conflicts of interest, what's more troubling is that the majority of readers can't tell the difference between sponsored content and genuine reporting. In today's interview, David speaks with Amy about the history of branded partnerships between fossil fuel interests and the media industry, how actual climate journalists feel about this type of sponsored content, and how advertorials promoting carbon capture and clean hydrogen technology provide a smoke screen for expanding oil production. The two also discussed the annual United Nations climate summit, the latest being COP28, which has been slowly infiltrated and co-opted by the oil and gas industry in order to hamper any meaningful organization against climate change.A transcript of this episode is available here.Links: Leading News Outlets Are Doing The Fossil Fuel Industry's Greenwashing (The Intercept, 2023) Drilled Media BONUS: On Monday's bonus episode of Lever Time Premium, exclusively for The Lever's supporting subscribers, we'll be sharing David Sirota's interview with Princeton professor D.

It's a true crime podcast about the climate crisis, and in their latest season they're looking at the worldwide crackdown on climate protest. Then, Jo Firestone tells us about Murder on Sex Island, a podcast about an undercover detective who has to solve a murder on the set of a trashy reality TV show.

Elon Musk has built himself a corporate empire, but how did he do it? He's styled himself at as the cofounder of Tesla, but the real innovations came from its actual founders before he took the credit and spun a ton of deceptive tales he couldn't follow through on to boost its share price. Ultimately, his interventions have had some serious consequences. This is episode 3 of Elon Musk Unmasked, a special four-part series from Tech Won't Save Us.Tech Won't Save Us offers a critical perspective on tech, its worldview, and wider society with the goal of inspiring people to demand better tech and a better world.

Amy hosts and produces a lot of podcasts, but Drilled is the big one I've listened to a lot. I listen partly to learn what happens behind the scenes and in the past in the fossil fuel industry. She's also covered how these companies influence the public in what until about World War II was called propaganda but the advertising industry changed to public relations.As a podcaster myself, I wanted to know how she came to win all those awards, start all those podcasts, and found the company that produces them. If you think you've struggled and failed, you'll love her story since she struggled and failed on the way to success.I recommend listening to her podcasts. First listen to our conversation to learn about the person behind the microphone.Amy's home pageBy the way, I misstated about my friend's small car. It tops off at 25 miles per hour, not per gallon.

Extinction Rebellion's co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.EPISODE 4: The shadowy companies holding back progress on climate This episode Clare and Charlie dig deeper into the Atlas global network of think tanks, grateful for the journalism of Amy Westervelt and Geoff Dembicki for the long read in New Republic that helped sketch out the true reach and influence. The are not only shaping the discourse on the climate crisis, its causes and policy responses but increasingly influencing public conversation about activists, and even having a hand in legislating them out of their rights to protest. Relatedly, the leader of the UAE based COP this year (yes, the oil boss guy), has been working in partnership with mega PR and comms firm Edelman for well over a decade to greenwash his personal image and that of his country.References:Atlas group think tankshttps://newrepublic.com/article/175488/meet-shadowy-global-network-vilifying-climate-protesters?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SF_TNREDELMAN supporting UAE PRhttps://www.desmog.com/2023/09/13/edelman-pr-enabled-adnoc-al-jaber-to-lead-cop28-climate-conference/https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/27/big-oil-public-relations-defectors-climate-crisisNGOs and Policy Exchangehttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/sep/08/rspb-ministers-wildlife-charity-power-britainDutch actor on sedition chargeshttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/19/highway-to-hell-dutch-climate-activist-fights-sedition-charge32 european countries taken to court by young peoplehttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/23/uk-one-of-32-countries-facing-european-court-human-rights-action-over-climate-stance?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other---------------------If you found this useful please, share, comment, subscribe, like, mobilise, and donate! https://chuffed.org/xr/uk

This week on O+O, our hosts, Christiana, Tom and Paul delve into the latest International Energy Agency report which sounds the death knell on the fossil fuel era and welcome award-winning investigative journalist Amy Westervelt onto the show. With the IEA's publication of their World Energy Outlook report, Christiana, Tom and Paul assess what this means for the fossil fuel industry, national governments and the companies continuing to push the exponential growth of the renewable energy markets. The IEA report still offers us an opportunity, a very, very slim opportunity to act unitedly and decisively to keep within our global targets - can we heed this advice before the door finally closes on this opportunity? We're extremely excited to welcome Amy Westervelt as our guest this week. Amy is an award-winning investigative print and audio journalist, loved by our team for her true crime climate podcast Drilled.

In 2020 she was executive producer of Unfinished: Short Creek, a co-production between Critical Frequency and Stitcher that was named one of the best podcasts of the year by The New Yorker and The Atlantic, and received a Wilbur award for excellence in religion reporting. In 2021, she led the reporting and production teams of This Land S2—an investigative, narrative season revealing the various forces behind efforts to unravel tribal sovereignty in the U.S.—which was nominated in April 2022 for a Peabody Award. Her investigative climate podcast Drilled, a Critical Frequency original production, was awarded the Online News Association award for excellence in audio journalism in 2019 and Covering Climate Now's award for excellence in audio journalism in 2021. In 2015, Amy received a Rachel Carson award for women greening journalism, for her role in creating a women-only climate journalism group syndicating longform climate reporting to The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Economist, and many more outlets. A 20-year veteran investigative journalist, Westervelt's earlier work for NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Inside Climate News, and various other outlets earned her Edward R. Murrow, ONA, and Folio awards as well, and is often cited as amongst the earliest examples of accountability reporting on climate.   Around the world, climate and other environmental protestors are being harassed, attacked, and arrested at an increasing rate. Laws are being passed that levy life-altering prison sentences and fines on protestors arrested near anything deemed “critical infrastructure,” which is defined so broadly it's hard to find a public space that wouldn't be near it anymore. Corporations are suing protestors and NGOs, comparing protest to organized crime. Governments are growing increasingly comfortable branding environmental protestors as “domestic terrorists” or instruments of “foreign influence,” and going after the nonprofit status of environmental nonprofits. And so far the media is largely participating in the rhetorical “othering” of protestors, opting in most cases to focus on the disruption that protest causes rather than the change it seeks, and to marginalize activists. In this print and audio series we'll take an in-depth look at how climate protest has evolved in recent years, where this backlash is coming from, how it's grown so quickly, and what it feels like to be someone who's concerned enough about the future of humanity to join a protest, only to find themselves facing police violence and several years in jail. We've worked with reporters on almost every continent to cover this trend from as many angles as possible and trace how particular tactics and ideas have spread across borders. The result is more than two dozen print and audio stories that we'll be releasing over the next several months.

At Outside/In, we often talk about the challenge of covering climate in a way that doesn't leave us feeling hopeless or overwhelmed. For us, that's often meant staying curious and keeping a sense of humor. But a few years ago, investigative journalist Amy Westervelt had another idea. Why not use one of podcasting's most popular genres—true crime—to tell the story of climate change? From greenwashing to climate denialism and corporate propaganda, Drilled makes accountability journalism a thrill to listen to, while consistently being one of the most informative sources for in-depth climate news.So today, we're featuring the first episode of their latest three-part series: “Herb.” This is the story of Herb Schmertz, the political strategist-turned-oil-man who popularized corporate personhood, and how it's become one of the biggest problems facing climate action today. Featuring Robert Kerr and Robert BruhlRead the episode transcript. SUPPORTOutside/In is made possible with listener support.

How do we face the scope of global extraction in the name of oil and gas production? Guest Amy Westervelt joins us this week to consider the full story behind these extractive industries and the role they play in shaping global structures from shipping ports, to government policies, to media talking points. Together, Amy and Ayana consider what it might mean for these organizations to be held accountable to the local and global disasters they have wrought in pursuit of profit. Amy brings specific insight to ExxonMobil's rapid development of oil production in Guyana, which she investigated for season eight of her podcast, Drilled. Discussing this specific case and extraction across the world, Amy details the global complications and power dynamics at play, and considers the obscene level of influence huge corporations have in perpetuating global injustice. Understanding the contours of power as it works now, this conversation also invites dreams of how we may change these systems. A world in which we hold corporations accountable and curb energy consumption in just and accessible ways is possible. How might we shift the narrative to bring visions into action?  Amy Westervelt is an award-winning investigative climate journalist. She writes regularly for The Guardian and The Intercept. Westervelt also runs the independent podcast production company and network Critical Frequency, where she reports and hosts Drilled, a true-crime podcast about climate change, and runs the company's production team on other shows, like the Peabody-nominated This Land.Music by Jonathan Yonts, Hana Shin, and Charles Rumback and Ryley Walker. Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.Support the show

Amy Westervelt has made a career out of exploring the underbelly of the oil industry through complex and compelling storytelling. Through her investigative series Drilled, including her latest season Light Sweet Crude, focused on the new wave of oil colonialism, Westervelt dives deep into the true crimes of the fossil fuel industry's biggest players, including their misinformation and PR campaigns about the climate emergency, their unfair dealing and record of environmental disasters. Her narrative podcasts shine a light on stories oil companies would rather keep in the dark, and on those individuals who try to hold them accountable.  Guest: Amy Westervelt, Investigative Journalist; Executive Producer, Critical Frequency Podcast Network For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Justice Clarence Thomas has been living the high life and not telling a soul… except all the people who dimed on him for a new ProPublica report. V breaks down what exactly this top judge did — and didn't do — wrong in his role as a public servant. V also talks about the lengths that researchers have to go to for people to care about the environment. Fortunately, V is then joined by investigative journalist Amy Westervelt for the ultimate climate conversation. Amy outlines the real cost of fossil fuels, plus how oil companies still manage to appear “eco-friendly” while they actively exacerbate the climate crisis. She and V then talk solutions, including the idea of bestowing rights to the earth itself.   To learn more about the climate crisis, check out Amy's latest podcast and follow her at @amywestervelt on Twitter and Instagram.   Keep up with V on TikTok at @underthedesknews and on Twitter at @VitusSpehar.
