Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrew Revkin

And how we've blown off writing maxims to be successfulThere's a feeling among many writers/bloggers/content creators that our brains are too overwhelmed by a high cognitive overload to want to read anything that isn't super quick and fast.I get this.There is a lot of information out there in the world.Short-form content is, they say, the key.Tim Denning describes short-form content as “where you share big ideas, be a little contrarian, drop cliffhangers for your stories, and share who you are. It gives people a taste.”“Many old-school writers want to take a stranger on the street and send them to their newly published book on Amazon. All the reader has to do is give up $15–20 and 15–20 hours of their life,” Denning writes. “None of this works anymore because the internet and all its information have burdened us with a high cognitive load.“Our brains hurt.”So, yeah, we say to hell with that. One size fits all doesn't fit everyone and that comes to readers of everything—books, blogs, news sites, magazines. To say that it does? It's a little depressing and fatalistic.High cognitive load when it refers to writing usually refers to the principles of plain English.What's that?It's just concise sentences. It's active voice. It's anti-jargon.KEEPING IT SHORT AND SIMPLEKeeping it short and simple has often been a dictum of novel writing when it comes to length (make it only 50,000 words, God forbid it hits over 100,000). It's also part of content creation (other kinds) keep the reels and videos to 1 minute or less, the picture books to less than 500 words, and so on.But I've (Carrie, not Shaun) also been lucky enough to go on book tours and listen to readers complain that books are too stripped down, not long enough to get lost in any more. Those specific readers? They don't want short and simple.BLOWING THAT MAXIM OFFWe've built a hyper-local daily paper on the opposite of this thought. We aren't simple. Our articles tend to not be short. Our word choice and sentence structure is though.And we have no short-form content to lure people in. We rarely remember to share our posts on Facebook and Instagram. And when we do? It's never pithy.But despite this (and our complete lack of marketing and despite that there are some amazing and award winning papers in our area already), in two years we've grown to a digital subscription base larger than both the major legacy weekly newspapers in our county with their very large (compared to us) staffs.Our staff of two (the same goofballs you're listening to right now) has written over a million words this year, just on that paper, and our open rate hovers over 60%.We write long.And people? They like it because they get to parse through the information and determine what matters to them when we cover something like a town meeting. We don't decide what matters for them.We trust our readers to be smart, to make their own decisions. So, no, we don't write short. It's something that Heather Cox Richardson (one of the most popular writers on Substack) and Andrew Revkin do, too.Dumbing yourself and your content down? It's not sexy.DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE YOUThe other aspect of this is something Denning agrees with and that it's okay to be you—your weird self, your personal self—in your writing. AI can do a lot of super amazing things, but it can't do that—it can't be personal. It can't be you.So, when you are writing—anything and everything—just be yourself. Think about who you are writing for, yes, but also be true to who you are, too. That's where the magic happens. That's where the communication and the connection happens, too.RANDOM THOUGHT LINKhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/scotthutcheson/2024/12/27/why-leaders-should-add-writing-to-their-leadership-toolkit-in-2025DOG TIP FOR LIFEDon't be concise when it's something you really want to get across for people.COOL PLACE TO SUBMITThe Paris Review Call for Poetry SubmissionsThe Paris Review is a literary magazine featuring original writing, art, and in-depth interviews with famous writers.

This episode of Going Green (a SPACES podcast story) explores the seeds of an ideological shift on the environment born in the 1980s, marked a period of materialism and individualism. The episode highlights the environmental justice movement, a fight for land reform and preservation of the Amazon rainforest, the founding of the Federalist Society, which aimed to shift the ideological balance of the American legal establishment to the right, and an internal opposition towards the environmental movement within President George H.W. Bush's administration.Subscribe to SPACES PodcastEpisode Extras - Photos, videos, and links to additional content I found during my research.

Factory cast da Vinci's horse, Statue of Liberty torch The former Tallix Foundry building in Beacon, which drew international attention 25 years ago when it produced a 24-foot bronze horse meant to fulfill Leonardo da Vinci's dying wish, is for sale. The nearly 17,000-square-foot building is listed for $1.995 million. It's also available as a rental for $18,000 per month. The site is being marketed by Daniel Aubry, a Beacon real estate agent who in 2017 brokered the sale of the Tioronda Estate, the home of the former Craig House psychiatric hospital, for $5.5 million. Advertising materials suggest the foundry building, at 310 Fishkill Ave., might be suitable for cannabis cultivation, as an artist's studio, a brewery or a rock-climbing gym. Opened in 1970 in Cold Spring by Dick Polich, who died in 2022 at age 90, the foundry was once the world's largest metal-casting facility. As demand grew, Polich moved the foundry to Peekskill and, in 1986, to Beacon. The story of its most notable work began in 1978, when Charlie Dent, a United Airlines pilot from Pennsylvania, read in National Geographic about da Vinci's unfulfilled vision of a monumental bronze horse - one the artist was commissioned to create by Duke Ludovico Sforza of Milan, Italy, in 1498. Before his death, da Vinci only created a clay model of the horse, and that was destroyed by invading French soldiers in 1499. It is said that the sculptor wept on his deathbed because he had been unable to complete the project. After reading about da Vinci, Dent, an amateur sculptor, "said, 'Let's give Leonardo his horse,' " said Lee Balter, the former owner of Tallix. So Dent established a foundation to raise money to complete da Vinci's work as a gift for the people of Milan. Before his death in 1994, Dent contracted the Tallix Foundry for the job. "There weren't many places that could accommodate building the horse under a roof," said Peter Homestead, the president of Tallix from 1997 to 2004. Da Vinci's (and Dent's) horse was unveiled in Beacon in 1999. Traffic to get to the city backed up on Interstate 84 to the Taconic State Parkway, "which hadn't been done since Woodstock," said Homestead. "Every press was there. They shot The Today Show live. Everybody got a piece of it." Andrew Revkin, a former Philipstown resident who at the time was a reporter for The New York Times, described it in a story as a "proudly prancing 15-ton bronze stallion" that had been cast to da Vinci's specifications. A week later, the horse was disassembled and flown in seven cargo planes to Milan, where it is displayed at San Siro Hippodrome Cultural Park, a horse-racing venue. The Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, contacted Tallix to request a sister horse. That was also cast at the foundry and "certainly helped to finance building" both sculptures, Homestead said. Artisans at Tallix also worked on the restoration of the Statue of Liberty's torch, which had been damaged in 1916 by German saboteurs. The foundry closed in Beacon in 2005 but reopened as Urban Art Projects + Polich Tallix in Newburgh. The Beacon building has since been used primarily for storage.

Andrew Revkin is one of America's most honoured and experienced environmental journalists and the founding director of the new Initiative on Communication and Sustainability at Columbia University's Earth Institute.  He's written on climate change for more than 35 years, reporting from the North Pole to the White House, the Amazon rain forest to the Vatican - mostly for The New York Times. He has held positions at National Geographic and Discover Magazine. He's written books on the dawn of Earth's Anthropocene age, the history of humanity's relationship with weather and climate, the changing Arctic, global warming and the assault on the Amazon rain forest. His work has been turned into film including the triple-Golden-Globe-winning HBO film “The Burning Season,”. This week's podcast covers what Andy learned living on a boat, thoughts on nuclear energy, how views have changed on the environment and climate change, and much more.

Andrew Revkin, noted journalist, author, and educator, has been reporting on climate change for the better part of 35 years. In a conversation with the Traveler's Lynn Riddick, he shares stories of his experiences, and how he is adapting his work to foster conversations rather than the traditional form of interrogative storytelling. He regards today's communication climate as an inseparable part of the Earth system, and vital in our response to real climate issues. He also has some thoughts about our National Parks, and the landscapes we are enjoying at this particular moment in time.

An aware society is one of the best weapons against climate change. Sustainable solutions can only advance if voters and policy makers understand what's at stake. From vanishing biodiversity to the widespread intensification of destructive weather patterns, that's where environmental journalists play a decisive role acting as the bridge between scientists and the general public. Andrew Revkin is a renowned science journalist, author, and educator. He's covered a variety of environmental topics, including the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the changing climate of the North Pole. Revkin is also the founding director of the Initiative on Communication and Sustainability at the Columbia Climate School. On this episode of Discover Science, hosted by graduate student Shelby Herbert of the UNR Reynolds School of Journalism's Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science, Andrew Revkin speaks with NatGeo Monster Fish host Zeb Hogan and Professor of limnology Sudeep Chandra about the media's coverage of climate impacts around the world, Revkin's 35+ years of experience in the field, even how music has influenced his perspective as a journalist and climate defender.

Air Date: December 23, 2020 Earlier this year, the famed climate-focused novelist Kim Stanley Robinson told Columbia students: “I've been pushing myself to write utopian narratives; that gets weirder as we continue on the course that we're on." In this special intergenerational Sustain What conversation, Robinson returns to Columbia (virtually this time) to explore the themes in his sweltering, jarring new novel “Ministry for the Future” with the Earth Institute's Andy Revkin and several advocates for the future – including the 15-year-old climate change campaigner Alexandria Villaseñor and Carolyn Raffensperger, a lawyer who was an early leader of calls for "a legal guardian for the future." Information on the book is here: http://j.mp/2WnLeXy Unlike Robinson's previous novels set after profound climate change have set in over generations or centuries , this one begins a mere 30 years in the future. As Jeff Goodell of Rolling Stone recently summarized, "It's a trip through the carbon-fueled chaos of the coming decades, with engineers working desperately to stop melting glaciers from sliding into the sea, avenging eco-terrorists downing so many airliners that people are afraid to fly, and bankers re-inventing the economy in real time in a desperate attempt to avert extinction." Several other students will join to ask questions, final exams and papers allowing. Students and faculty are encouraged to submit questions or comments in advance. Email revkin+ksr@gmail.com More on our guests: Alexandria Villaseñor, who turned 15 last spring, was one of the first, and youngest, American students to build on Greta Thunberg's climate strikes and has gone on to co-found the youth-run group Earth Uprising. https://earthuprising.org/ Carolyn Raffensperger is an environmental lawyer pursuing fundamental changes in law and policy she and other experts see necessary for the protection and restoration of public health and the environment. She is the executive director of the Science and Environmental Health Network. http://sehn.org In 2007, Andrew Revkin interviewed Raffensperger for his New York Times blog in a post asking a question she answers with a resounding yes: "Does the Future Need a Legal Guardian?" https://j.mp/futurelegalguardian (Try the link a couple of times, like opening an old stuck door.)

In this special work from home edition of Pod of the Planet, Kyu Lee catches up with Andrew Revkin, founding director of the Initiative on Communication & Sustainability at the Earth Institute. Then we shift over to a conversation between Revkin, Herman Daly and Kate Raworth on how human progress should be pursued and measured (15:26). Herman E. Daly, a founding force behind “steady-state economics,” examines possible paths to less fragile global systems with Kate Raworth, whose “doughnut economics” model aims to build economic policies and metrics that put thriving ahead of growing. This episode draws from Revkin's SUSTAIN WHAT series, a global video conversation identifying solutions to the complicated, shape-shifting and epic challenges of humanity's Anthropocene moment. Parts of this conversation refer to graphics that we unfortunately can not show here. We encourage listeners to seek out Daly's "Emtpy world, full world" diagram (36:00), Raworth's "Doughnut Economy" (46:00) and "Hulling's Adaptive Cycle" (1:25:00) to better understand the discussion.

Mitchell's guest this week is University of Arizona Professor Emeritus, Guy McPherson, Ph.D. Today, Mitchell interviews environmental scientist, Guy McPherson, about the true seriousness of our environmental plight this very moment.  Based on unfiltered science, Guy interprets the findings of global dimming, greenhouse gas overwhelm of our atmosphere and the presence of nuclear power plants throughout the world as painting a very dark future for humankind. Guy R. McPherson is an American scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona. He is best known for promoting the idea of near term extinction (NTE), a term he coined about the possibility of human extinction as soon as 2030. In May 2009, McPherson began transitioning to living on an off-grid homestead in southern New Mexico. McPherson authors a blog called “Nature Bats Last”, that focuses on global apollo earth picclimate change, energy decline and the possibility of imminent human extinction due to the increasing accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. On November 1, 2015, McPherson was interviewed on National Geographic Explorer with host Bill Nye. Regarding his NTE views, Andrew Revkin in The New York Times said McPherson was an “apocalyptic ecologist … who has built something of an ‘End of Days' following”.Michael Tobis, a climate scientist from the University of Wisconsin, said McPherson was out of his depth and “is not the opposite of a denialist. He is a denialist, albeit of a different stripe.” Guy was a guest on A Better World 9-2018  http://abetterworld.tv/mitchell-rabin-interviews-environmental-scientist-guy-mcpherson-ph-d-on-near-term-extinction Mitchell Rabin is the Founder, President and CEO of A Better World Foundation & Media,  www.abetterworld.tv   www.mitchellrabin.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abwmitchellrabin/support

Andrew Revkin discusses ways to bridge gaps between information and actions that cut climate risk, boost social progress, and promote ecological resilience.

Dominic and Cymene talk about the Democratic debates on this week’s podcast. Then (13:57) we are humbled and thrilled to have legendary journalist Andrew Revkin join the conversation. We chat with Andrew about the environment beat back in the 1980s and how he became one of the first American journalists to take on the topic of climate change. We talk about the struggle for both reality and nuance in climate coverage, how to get people to connect emotionally to climate issues, and Andrew shares experiences from the trenches of the “information wars” surrounding climate science and his thoughts about the dangers of “narrative capture” in climate coverage. From there, we turn to the challenges of broadcast vs. online journalism, the new Initiative on Communication and Sustainability that Andrew is leading at Columbia University and the unmet responsibility of universities to do more on climate. We close on climate change as a long-term intergenerational ethical problem in which we live with the carbon legacies of previous generations and where the fruits of decarbonization actions today will only benefit generations to come.

I met Andrew Revkin through the World Science Festival this year, then recorded at my visited me in my New York apartment. I wish I could have brought you the whole conversation. You get the highlights.We covered global warming, pollution, history, relevant people, and why he is hopeful, even seeing the challenges he sees from the vantage point of National Geographic and the New York Times.Andrew shares the decades work he’s done on these issues. He reinforces the importance of action, not just talking,He takes the challenge seriously, even -- gasp -- flying less, which most people consider impossible. Want to expand your horizons? Listen to hear how a guy who has already done a lot takes on doing more -- to improve his life. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Why is it so hard to focus attention on the climate crisis? We know the damage we’re doing to the climate and we know why we’re doing it. We even know the obstacles to the solution (fossil fuel companies, denialist political parties) and yet it’s still a challenge to keep the issue front and center. After spending 30 years covering the climate crisis, Andrew Revkin knows what it’s like to be sounding the alarms that seem to fall on deaf ears. In this episode, Revkin talks about the huge role social science plays when it comes to talking about climate, explores what it would take to get the world to pay attention, and explains why he says, in his expert opinion, we’re already “in the shit”.Email us at WITHpod@Gmail.comTweet using #WITHpodRead more at nbcnews.com/whyisthishappening

Strategic Adviser for Geographic Society, Andrew Revkin, has been writing about climate change since the 1980s, including 21 years for The New York Times. So what are some things he’s learned in those three decades? How has he learned to best tell the story? As New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert knows all too well, covering climate change is journey that can be a challenge. “On some level it’s the worst story ever. It’s sort of everything and nothing and so finding the narrative is very, very difficult,” says Kolbert. This is a conversation with those telling the story of our climate.

We're taking on Scott Pruitt, the EPA, global warning, weather and climate change this week on TALKish with Halli Casser-Jayne when Andrew Revkin, the prize-winning science reporter and the author of a truly fascinating new book, WEATHER: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY FROM CLOUD ATLASES TO CLIMATE CHANGE joins me at my table, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.Andrew Revkin has spent a quarter of a century covering subjects ranging from the assault on the Amazon to the Asian tsunami, from the troubled relationship of science and politics to climate change at the North Pole. Since 1995, he has been covering the environment for the New York Times, but his first prize-winning magazine articles on the human influence on climate were published more than 20 years ago, before the creation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.He has written acclaimed books on the Amazon, global warming, and the changing Arctic. His multimedia work on the Web has also been widely lauded, particularly his New York Times blog, Dot Earth. He is the first science reporter to win a John Chancellor Award for sustained excellence in journalism. Now following his prize-winning 21-year stint at The New York Times, Revkin has taken a new position at National Geographic Society as the Strategic Adviser for Environmental and Science Journalism to help expand grants and support for journalism worldwide, focusing on our human journey on this fast-changing planet. And he is out with a new book, WEATHER: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY FROM CLOUD ATLASES TO CLIMATE CHANGE co-written with his wife Lisa Mechaley in which he presents an intriguing illustrated history of humanity's evolving relationship with Earth's dynamic climate system and the wondrous weather it generates. Oh, and in his spare moments, he is a performing songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who occasionally accompanied the late Pete Seeger at regional shows and plays in a folk-blues band, Uncle Wade.For more information visit Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

Andrew Revkin has spent his professional career covering environmental issues and writing about them contemporaneously. However, his most recent book, just published in May 2018, tracks climate change by looking at 100 historical events that help explain today’s climate debate. The book is “Weather: An Illustrated History: From Cloud Atlases to Climate Change” published by Sterling and it is co-authored by Revkin’s wife, Lisa Mechaley. He goes back to pre-history and brings the important climate events, people and milestones forward to our current political climate-change debate. Each short narrative section is accompanied by stunning illustrations. During his discussion with Spectrum’s podcast host Tom Hodson, he highlights some of the most noteworthy historical events and personalities with fascinating and sometimes witty stories about people such as Benjamin Franklin and his lightning rod and weather events like the killer London Fog of the 1950’s. Revkin certainly has the credentials to write a retrospective on weather and climate change. He is award winning environmental journalist, author, educator, musical composer and performer. Andy spent 21 years writing about the environment for the New York Times and created the popular Dot Earth blog for the Times. He also was the first journalist to report from drifting sea ice at the North Pole. He then spent time writing for ProPublica doing investigative pieces. He now is the Strategic Adviser for Environmental and Science Journalism at the National Geographic Society. He also has spent time teaching at Pace University. In addition to writing, Revkin is a musical composer and performer. He often performed with the legendary environmentalist/folk singer Pete Seeger. In 2013, he released his musical CD called a Very Fine Line filled with compositions he wrote. It is performed by “Andy Revkin and Friends.”

On this episode of Indivisible, we look ahead at President Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. And considering Trump's comments about China in the past -- that we need to balance the trade deficit, and that China needs to be a better watchdog for North Korea -- this looks to be a contentious meeting. Hosts Kai Wright and Anne McElvoy talk about China policy with Michael Auslin, author of the book, "The End of the Asian Century," and what President Xi’s visit is likely to signal about U.S./China relations. Plus, Andrew Revkin, senior reporter on climate issues for ProPublica, discusses the Trump Administration’s effort to roll back Obama-era environmental policies and what it means for the future of leadership on climate change. What are the financial stakes of this legislation for people across America? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode of Indivisible, we look ahead at President Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. And considering Trump's comments about China in the past -- that we need to balance the trade deficit, and that China needs to be a better watchdog for North Korea -- this looks to be a contentious meeting. China is not our friend. They are not our ally. They want to overtake us, and if we don’t get smart and tough soon, they will. — Donald J.

Donald Trump made many, many pronouncements on the campaign trail, one of them was that he would "cancel the Paris climate agreement".  While he can't cancel the Paris agreement, he can and has walked away from it with an executive order this week substantially erasing President Obama's climate legacy and signaling to the world that the US is not going to meet its carbon emission goals set in Paris. So what exactly was agreed upon in Paris?  To find clarity among the conflicting commentary Brooke spoke in 2015 with Andrew Revkin who writes the Dot Earth blog for the New York Times, and Jonathan Katz who covered the talks in Paris for the New Republic.

Veteran journalist Andrew Revkin has an appreciation for nuance. You can hear it in his take on the super-recent past of the Trump administration's big, early moves on the environment; and why he thinks the big-picture debate on climate change is way more complicated than most of us realize.

Subscribe to America Adapts on Itunes Listen here. Now on Spotify! On Google Play here. To get a tease how our conversation went: DOUG PARSONS:  Do you think the Scientist March is a good idea?   ANDY REVKIN:  No. ANDY REVKIN:  People should visit Woodward County, West Virginia — the most climate skeptical county in the U.S. ANDY REVKIN:  Nothing we can do right now will change the course of climate change for at least a decade. In the latest episode of America Adapts, Doug Parsons talks with legendary journalist, Andy Revkin.  Andy has been a long time reporter for the New York Times, covering climate change science, policy and impacts for decades. Andy also blogged at Dot Earth for the New York times, one of the most popular ‘hang outs’ for those wanting to learn more about global warming. Doug talks with Andy about his recent move to Propublica, an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest.  Andy talks about his early days in science journalism, going all the way back to the 1980s when he started working for the now defunct Science Digest. In what becomes almost a climate change history lesson, Andy then explains how global warming awareness grew in the sizzling summer of 1988, with Yellowstone National Park on fire and famed climatologist James Hansen testifying before Congress. As Andy put it regarding his shift to climate reporting after these events, “I never got off the bus.” Discussing climate change with Andy is like rehashing an Indiana Jones movie:  from his visit to the North Pole, writing on the Vatican and global warming, to the policy and science implications of the issue. Andy has long been associated with his perch at the New York Times and we discuss the details of that identity pivot to Propublica. We talk about his long term goals of writing longer investigative pieces, to highlighting some of the daily reporting he’s done during the first weeks of the Trump administration. Andy discusses the need for anonymous tips in climate reporting and how Propublica has created an encrypted page for these tips. Other topics covered: Propublica has a section “Steal our stories” that encourages others to repost their work. Andy describes how the Obama administration went through their own secretive information sharing process especially regarding the work of scientists at the EPA. Andy revisits his reporting during the George W. Bush years,. This includes the tampering with NASA research by Bush administration officials. “Science is like putty, unfortunately, in the policy arena,” as Andy describes how administrations handle issues like science. Andy describes how natural gas fracking, went from officially ‘unconventional gas’ to a ‘conventional gas’ supply and how that affected climate emissions trends. For other countries, climate change has become a key issue like trade and security, so Trump just can’t come in and ignore it. Andy describes his own podcast, Warm Regards, which he cohosts with Eric Holthaus and Jacqueline Gill. Andy discusses the positive aspects of adapting to climate change versus fighting global warming through mitigation. Andy thinks focusing on adaptation is a good thing, since it’s a ‘now’ issue, with impacts impacting communities now, whereas mitigation will be an issue that takes decades to address. Encourage America Adapts to go on the road and talk to the communities facing these challenges first hand. Key Quotes: Doug poased the question, “Do you think the messaging that will come out of the upcoming scientist march on Washington will be helpful?”  Andy responds: “No.” (Again, listen in to hear the nuance behind his answer.) “The global warming problem is too big for Trump to do much about…” meaning Trump’s ability to impact action in a negative way. “He can’t make it worse. Just like Obama couldn’t make it better.” (Listen to get the nuance of these quotes!) “Trump can’t order West Virginia’s miners to go back in the mines” meaning Trump’s ability to get the country to switch back to coal. “The end of coal in America is a done deal, and Trump can’t force that to change.” Andy’s final message and it’s a great one:  “At the grandest scale, the thing I’ve learned about the climate problem, it is so big and multi-faceted, that everyone can play a role.” Doug also brings on previous guest, Tristram Korten to discuss reporting in the age of Trump.  Tristram is the reporter who broke the viral story, “Florida Governor Bans Climate Change”.  Tristram and Doug discuss the challenges of journalism in the face of a hostile government and what some options are for those in government who want to share information with reporters. So please have a listen, it’s an amazing conversation with a legendary figure in climate change circles.   Additional Resources: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114029917 For those who didn’t know, Andy is quite the accomplished musician (and toured regularly with the late, great Pete Seeger). http://j.mp/revkinmusic Stories in Propublica: https://www.propublica.org/search/search.php?qss=revkin+climate+trump+obama&x=0&y=0&csrf_token=664986bb133b59015d7ad527eed303a11be63e61a421860d7a81d39a760d75e5 Final Dot Earth Post: http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/11/14/my-propublica-move-from-blogging-and-teaching-back-to-deep-digging-on-climate/ Books by Andy https://www.amazon.com/Andrew-Revkin/e/B001IXNSRK/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1390325965&sr=1-2-ent Andy on Twitter: @revkin Warm Regards @ourwarmregards America Adapts also has its own app for your listening pleasure!  Just visit the App store on Apple or Google Play on Android and search “America Adapts.” Finally, yes, most of your favorite podcasts are supported by listeners just like you!

Got a chance to catch up with Andrew Revkin, NYTimes Dot Earth editor/contributor, who was a significant part of a meeting last year with Pope Francis, where the discussions were all about the topic of this latest encyclical about climate change, corporate greed and getting our act together as a species. That 4-day meeting was likely the basis for this encyclical and Andy has some great insights to share about it.

For all the global obsession with oil that has marked the past decades, the real future of energy might be something quite different. An advanced lithium-ion battery could power our electric cars and help relieve climate change. But the race is on in laboratories all over the world to be the first to solve this scientific enigma -- and the United States may not necessarily be the winner. Steve Levine, Washington correspondent for Quartz, will discuss his new book, The Powerhouse: Inside the Invention of a Battery to Save the World, with Andrew Revkin, senior fellow at Pace University's Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies and author of the New York Times'Dot Earth blog. They will explore how geopolitics, competition, and the scientists themselves could shape technology's next great watershed.

An honor to have one of our environmental journalist heroes in the Green Diva Studio to do a special Green Divas myEARTH360 segment AND some extra fun with his guitar . . . in case you didn't know, he's an excellent song writer and we have proof on video! We talked about climate change, his meeting with Pope Francis, and lots more . . .

A very special show with Andrew Revkin in the studio doing a Green Divas myEARTH360 report, some more great gardening advice, and a wonderful feature with Lindsay Dahl of Safer Chemicals, and our next in the Green Divas / What You Can Do water conservation series.

Should we just adapt to climate change? The question raises the hackles of environmentalists and global warming deniers alike—yet it’s one we should be asking sooner rather than later. That was the consensus of New York Times environmental reporter Andrew Revkin, UCLA climate scientist Alex Hall, and UCLA environmental historian Jon Christensen during a panel discussion at The Actors’ Gang, an event put on in partnership with the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and with Environmental Humanities at UCLA.

Andrew Revkin, an award-winning science reporter and author who covered environmental issues for The New York Times for nearly 15 years presented this public talk at the UA on Jan. 26, 2012. During his talk, Revkin presented an optimistic, but realistic, exploration of ways to foster progress on a finite planet-including the unique role of universities as hubs of innovation, learning and, most important, doing. Revkin has spent more than a quarter of a century covering subjects ranging from the assault on the Amazon to the Asian tsunami, from the troubled relationship of science and politics to climate change at the North Pole. As a journalist for The New York Times, he made three trips to the Arctic to report on climate change and was among the first reporters to file stories and photos from the floating sea ice around the Pole. Revkin left the Times staff at the end of 2009 to become a senior fellow at Pace University's Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Sciences. A pioneer in multimedia journalism, he continues to write the Times' Dot Earth blog, which is read by millions of people in more than 200 countries.

Andrew Revkin, a prize-winning journalist and New York Times blogger, gave a lecture titled "Which Comes First, Peak Everything or Peak Us?" at Duke January 18. The event was co-sponsored by the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, the Sanford School of Public Policy, and the Nicholas School of the Environment.

Author and distinguished professor, Vaclav Smil, is interviewed by Andrew Revkin about the future of the planet. This discussion was part of the Q2C Festival in 2009.

In this documentary, "Linda Thornton: Seeking Sustainability, One Shrimp at a Time," a team of Pace University student filmmakers explore the life of a resilient, pioneering aquaculture entrepreneur as she pushes the frontiers of sustainable shrimp farming in Belize. This new short film, shot by a team of undergraduate and graduate students in Dr. Maria Luskay's award-winning "Producing the Documentary" course, explores the life of a resilient, pioneering aquaculture entrepreneur as she pushes the frontiers of sustainable shrimp farming in Belize. Helping with this year's production was New York Times Dot Earth blogger Andrew Revkin, Senior Fellow for Environmental Understanding at the Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies. This documentary won Best Shorts Competition for Best Short Documentary Award of Merit. For more on the making of the film, visit http://sustainableshrimp.blogspot.com.

Other panelists included David Hales, President of College of the Atlantic, and Furman President David Shi. The discussion was part of a day-long celebration on campus of sustainability, which included a lecture by Whitman and the dedication of the David E. Shi Center for Sustainability.

Author and distinguished professor, Vaclav Smil, is interviewed by Andrew Revkin about the future of the planet. This discussion was part of the Q2C Festival in 2009.

Can one planet survive the impact of a human population of close to 9 billion people? Environment writer, Andrew Revkin, interviews author and distinguished professor, Vaclav Smil, about the promise and perils of the next fifty years. This talk was part of the Q2C festival at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo in October 2009.

We live in a science centered age—a time of private spaceflight and personalized medicine, amid path-breaking advances in biotechnology and nanotechnology. And we face science centered risks: climate and energy crises, biological and nuclear terror threats, mega-disasters and global pandemics.   So you would think science journalism would be booming—yet nothing could be further from the case. If you watch 5 hours of cable news today, expect to see just 1 minute devoted to science and technology. From 1989-2005, meanwhile, the number of major newspapers featuring weekly science sections shrank from 95 to 34.   Epitomizing the current decline is longtime New York Times science writer Andrew Revkin, who recently left the paper for a career in academia.   In this conversation with host Chris Mooney, Revkin discusses the uncertain future of his field, the perils of the science blogosphere, his battles with climate blogger Joe Romm, and what it’s like (no joke) to have Rush Limbaugh suggest that you kill yourself. Moving on to the topics he’s covered for over a decade, Revkin also addresses the problem of population growth, the long-range risks that our minds just aren’t trained to think about, and the likely worsening of earthquake and other catastrophes as more people pack into vulnerable places.   Andrew Revkin was the science and environment reporter for the New York Times from 1995 through 2009. During the 2000s, he broke numerous front page stories about how the Bush administration was suppressing science, and launched the highly popular blog Dot Earth. But last year, Revkin announced he was leaving the Times. He accepted a post as a senior fellow of environmental understanding at Pace University in White Plains, New York, where he will focus on teaching and two new book projects—complementing existing works like The North Pole Was Here, a book about the vanishing Arctic aimed at middle and high schoolers. In his new life, Andy will also have much more time to play with what he dubs his “rustic-rootsy” band, Uncle Wade.

Join the CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities and Queens College in welcoming Andrew Revkin of The New York Times, in discussion with a host of Queens College experts to discuss these important issues.
