What would the world look like at 3-degrees Celsius of warming above pre-industrial levels? In his latest work, Collision Course: 3-degrees of warming & humanity's future, David Spratt explores the catastrophic implications of the planet we're heading towards as warming continues to accelerate. He argues we need to face up to realities of the crisis and have an honest discourse on risks and impacts already occuring. On the show this week, he joins us to discuss the significance of tipping points, and the systemic risks posed by climate change, and the non-linear, catastrophic impacts expected at 3-degrees. We also explore the dire implications for food security, agricultural yields, and social stability. David underscores the need for greater awareness and understanding of climate risks and the importance of leadership in tackling the climate crisis. David Spratt is a climate and policy analyst who serves as the Research Director for Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration. He is the co-author of the book Climate Code Red: The case for emergency action.

The online event was a part of the Melbourne-based "National Sustainability Living Festival". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

That was Professor James Hansen speaking during an interview I recorded in Vienna at the European Geophysical Union Conference, in 2012. In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with David Spratt, Research Director, Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration in Australia, about his recent article, ‘Reclaiming the Climate Emergency' - the links to the article are in the notes. Join to get more content: https://genn.cc - https://patreon.com/genncc We discuss the origins, treatment and what next? Aspect of how do we reclaim and respond appropriately in a real Climate Emergency - much like the one we are irrefutably in. I have also inserted a segment from this first interview with Professor Hansen in the interview with David, to better highlight how perilous the lack of action over the last decade has really been.  Patreon and Youtube ‘Water Tier' members can watch the whole unedited 26 minutes interview with Professor Hansen that I have just uploaded. Given the lack off any progress on tackling climate change, much of what Jim said in 2012 is entirely relevant today. Thank you for listening. I am currently working on the interview and article with Professor Jingfang Fan at the University of Beijing and also Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. We discuss his research on teleconnections between Earth system tipping points and the identification of possible cascade mechanisms. Thank you. Reclaiming 'climate emergency'”,  today published in English in the Slovenian journal Filozofski vestnik.

In this ClimateGenn episode I am speaking with Jojo Mehta, Executive Director of Stop Ecocide International about the positive news that the European Parliament is proposing to include Ecocide in EU Law, an important development in the course to have this vital legislation enshrined in international law. [Support this channel and access episodes early by joining up on Patreon or Youtube] For those that are not familiar with Ecocide it has this simple definition: Ecocide means unlawful or wanton acts, committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or longterm damage to the environment, being caused by those acts. A law of Ecocide was first proposed by the late Polly Higgins and it is fantastic to see the progress the organisation is making in fulfilling its objectives. Outlawing environmental destruction is a critical part of how we as a species, reassess our relationship with nature, in the face of climate and ecological breakdown. In the next episode I am speaking with David Spratt, Research Director, Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, in Australia about his new article on reclaiming the Climate Emergency. Thanks for listening.

David Spratt has been Research Coordinator for the independent think tank Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration since 2014. He was co-founder of the Climate Action Centre in Melbourne and co-authored Climate Code Red; the case for emergency action. David is a prolific climate science communicator, writing regularly for popular publications and blogging at climatecodered.org.In this frank conversation, David discusses the climate emergency and the realities of climate modelling and acceptable risk, putting forward a strong case for more drastic climate action. One way or another disruption is inevitable, and he calls on us to have the courage to speak the truth and act accordingly - because it is necessary and fair.In this episode we cover:• What inspired David's journey to climate communication• Climate dominoes: The importance of understanding climate tipping points and positive feedback loops• Temperature projections and the dangers already existing with earth's current warming• Realities and limitations of climate modelling• The intersections of politics and climate science• Adaptation, mitigation and drawdown• Cooling the arctic and global flow on effects of the warming poles• The case for emergency action and disruption• Whether the goal of net zero by 2050 is appropriate• The greenwashing and accountancy tricks involved in reaching net zero• How to effectively communicate the climate emergency and what we can learn from health promotion principlesTo view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.

In this ClimateGenn episode I am speaking with Research Director of the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration in Melbourne, David Spratt, about assessing climate risk and why incremental tweaks to reduce emissions are failing us. [Please support httpss://genn.cc via https://patreon.com/genncc We also discuss IPCC forecasts, political failure, and how change is possible but it requires a huge mobilisation of resources, coupled with public and political participation and leadership of the Zelensky variety. The clock is ticking, parts of the system are tipping, whether you call it: code-red, an emergency, or blah blah blah, no one is immune from the cascade of climate impacts that we will face if we continue to do nothing to avert the growing threat of climate change this decade and into the future. Thanks for listening to ClimateGenn, especially at a time when there is so much violence and the threat of escalation of war. The pain that this is causing so many is inextricably linked to corruption and fossil fuels that extend well beyond Putin's regime. I would very much like to express solidarity with the Ukrainian people, as well as with Russians who are standing up to the regime. https://www.breakthroughonline.org.au/ http://www.climatecodered.org/

In this ClimateGenn special episode, I publishing my first interview with Dr Jim Hansen who was at the time Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. This was recorded in 2012 at the European Geophysical Union, the annual conference that takes place every year in Vienna. Please support at https://patreon.com/genncc or follow on https://genn.cc. In recent weeks I have exchanged emails again with Dr Hansen to discuss his recent work that has a working title of ‘The Big Climate Short'. Hopefully this will be recorded once his latest work is submitted for publication. What strikes me about this decade old interview is that the language is so clear and the warnings regarding urgent action are in the timeframe of the next 1-1.5years. He even states the danger of waiting a decade to what would be 2022. Hansen made international news in the late 80's when he testified to US Congress about the need to change our energy system and reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases. He is straight pragmatic speaker who has consistently issued warnings that have been ignored despite the rising cost inflicted by such ignorance. Here he gives very clear definitions of what tipping points are and the danger of crossing them. He discusses the challenges that scientists face in communicating these problems. He also highlights evidenced strategies that could have significantly dealt with them at the time but with each passing year create an ever growing challenge. We are now where we are. The recent IPCC report talks about the closing window of opportunity to act. Coming at a time of extreme chaos and suffering in Europe, it is hard to see how we will navigate the coming weeks, months and years. How we deal with our own fear and concern regarding these issues is very important. War is obviously not the answer and neither is any sense of nihilism. Being able to focus on the problems and act with a broader sense of community is far more rewarding. In the next episode I am speaking to climate and policy analyst, David Spratt, Research Director at the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration in Melbourne, Australia. We will be discussing a range of subjects including the accelerating rate of impacts, what climate models don't tell us, as well as the tipping point risks we can't see or measure and that may already have been crossed.

You can also drop me a note or comment on my website genn.cc and I will always try to respond. Thank you.

What types of geo-engineering are there?3. How do they work?4. What areas could they cover if implemented?5. Why should we care?6. Who will pay for them to be implemented?7. Are there any international rules to cover geo-engineering?8. What governance issues are there?9. Who will be the most affected? Listen to David Spratt, climate-policy analyst, and co-founder of the Carbon Equity network, and director of the Breakthrough - National Centre for Climate Restoration explain the fundamentals of geoenrgineering and the issues of the climate emergency our planet is facing.

Thunderclaps, flashes of lightning and the eeriness of the strange silence of a drought is the climate crisis being writ large across the world, but few are listening. Missing from the front lines are our decision-makers, the people who could change our trajectory and put the world community on a course to actively tackle this dilemma. The world is awash with rhetoric that is little more than greenwashing, promises to do something, "But not just yet", they say. One group that has continually pointed to our weakness, our failures is the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration that has just released its latest report: "Net Zero 2050: A dangerous illusion". Read and consider the report, and listen to "Music for a Warming World".   Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/climateconversations

Desde los albores de la historia, los seres humanos hemos estado fascinados con el tema apocalíptico. Hay quienes verdaderamente consideran el apocalipsis como algo de lo que hay que escapar. Por ejemplo, empresarios de Silicon Valley compran búnkeres en Nueva Zelanda. Hay quienes, con más imaginación, consideran el apocalipsis como una vía de escape de las vicisitudes del mundo. La religión cristiana es esencialmente apocalíptica. El Apocalipsis de San Juan, también conocido como el libro de las Revelaciones, es el último libro del Nuevo Testamento y de la Biblia cristiana. Por su género literario, es considerado por la mayoría de los académicos el único libro del Nuevo Testamento de carácter exclusivamente profético. El Apocalipsis quizás sea el escrito más rico en símbolos de toda la Biblia. La cantidad de símbolos, eventos y procesos complica la tarea de interpretar la totalidad del texto y, como tal, ha sido objeto de numerosas investigaciones, interpretaciones y debate a lo largo de la historia. Los evangélicos del sur de Estados Unidos piensan que la creación del Estado de Israel en 1948 es parte del cumplimiento de la profecía del fin del mundo. Los evangélicos se entusiasman con la idea de La Tercera Guerra Mundial. No sólo lo ven como algo bueno, sino como el cumplimiento de la profecía. Pareciera que nos burlamos de ellos pero en verdad esperan que se los van a llevar al paraíso como en una serie de ciencia-ficción, a la Viaje a las estrellas. La idea fue popularizada en un best-seller llamado "La Agonía del Gran Planeta Tierra", publicado en 1970. Para otros, el apocalipsis es un tema sabroso de sobremesa, una manera de auto-confort minimizando las amenazas del Zeitgeist. Es normal entonces los medios de entretenimiento masivo recurran al fin del mundo como tema divertido y popular. Por estos días, se difundió en las redes sociales la noticia de que un meteorito, conocido como 2007 FT3, chocará con la Tierra el próximo 3 de octubre, 2019, citando datos de la NASA. La NASA administra un programa llamado Centro de Estudios de Objetos Cercanos a la Tierra que se encarga de analizar la trayectoria de objetos que pueden chocar con nuestro planeta. El Centro de Estudios de Objetos Cercanos a la Tierra calcula las probabilidades de cada impacto pueden ocurrir. En el caso del asteroide 2007 FT3, cuyo diámetro es de 340 metros, la información provista por la NASA señala que el próximo 3 de octubre existe una en 11 millones probabilidad de que este meteorito choque con la Tierra. Una buena historia para una tarde lluviosa. El deterioro evidente del entorno es un problema al que también se le buscan una salida apocalíptica, como excusa para evadir nuestra responsabilidad. En mayo del 2019, se publico un análisis, realizado por un centro australiano, respaldo por un oficial militar, que advierte de un alto riesgo de que el orden social global se colapse en el siglo veintiuno. El reporte sugiere llevar a cabo un esfuerzo "similar a la movilización de emergencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial" para evitar los riesgos de este escenario. El análisis, publicado por el Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, un think-tank en la ciudad de Melbourne, describe al calentamiento global como una amenaza existencial para el status quo. Australia, similarmente a Estados Unidos es un país de negadores del cambio climático, lo que explica el desesperado tono dramático del reporte.

Sobering Climate Risks / Note on Emerging Science: Hot Potato Blues / Beyond the Headlines / Exploring the Parks: Cactus and Snow in the Desert Sky Islands / BirdNote®: Ponderosa Pine Savanna / Horizon by Barry Lopez If carbon emissions keep going up until 2030 it will be too late to avoid a 'hot house' Earth with a billion climate refugees starting in 2050, according to the Australia-based Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration. These researchers warn the climate is changing faster than politicians and the public are responding, and say interventions on a scale never before seen during peacetime are needed right now. Also, Coronado National Forest, north of Tucson, Arizona is the latest subject of Living on Earth's occasional series on America's public lands. There's plenty of heat and cacti, of course - but also many species that you're more likely to find far north of the desert Southwest, and even enough snow for skiing! We take a trip to the remarkably diverse biomes of Arizona's Sky Islands, with a local biologist as our guide. And in his new book Horizon, 30 years in the making, award-winning writer Barry Lopez asks: "Who is our navigator?" now, in this time of climate change and pervasive inequality.
