In today's episode, you will learn a series of vocabulary words that are connected to a specific topic. This lesson will help you improve your ability to speak English fluently about a specific topic. It will also help you feel more confident in your English abilities.5 Vocabulary WordsRenewable Energy (Noun): Energy derived from natural sources that are replenished on a human timescale, such as solar, wind, and hydro power.Example Sentences: Shifting to renewable energy sources is a key component of climate policy aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels.Many countries are investing heavily in renewable energy infrastructure to meet their climate targets and ensure sustainable growth.Solar panels and wind turbines are common examples of renewable energy technologies being adopted worldwide.Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Noun): Gases released into the atmosphere that trap heat, contributing to global warming and climate change. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).Example Sentences: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential for slowing the pace of climate change and limiting its impacts.Policies aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions often include regulations on industrial processes and incentives for cleaner technologies.Monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions helps track progress toward national and international climate goals.Climate Resilience (Noun): The capacity of systems, communities, and ecosystems to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to climate-related disruptions and stresses.Example Sentences: Building climate resilience involves investing in infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather events and other climate impacts.Enhancing climate resilience in agriculture may involve developing drought-resistant crops and improving water management practices.Community-based projects that focus on climate resilience can help vulnerable populations adapt to changing environmental conditions.Carbon Offset (Noun): A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, such as through planting trees or investing in renewable energy projects, used to compensate for emissions produced elsewhere.Example Sentences: Many companies purchase carbon offsets to balance out their carbon emissions and meet sustainability targets.Carbon offset programs can support a variety of projects, from reforestation to renewable energy development.While carbon offsets can help mitigate climate impact, they are often considered a supplementary measure rather than a primary solution.Climate Agreement (Noun): An international or national treaty or pact aimed at addressing climate change by setting emission reduction targets and other environmental goals.Example Sentences: The Paris Agreement is a landmark climate agreement that brings countries together to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.Effective implementation of climate agreements requires cooperation and commitment from all participating nations.New climate agreements often set more ambitious targets as scientific understanding of climate change evolves.A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary wordsClimate policy refers to the government regulations and initiatives aimed at addressing climate change. International climate agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, establish global goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote climate resilience. To achieve these goals, countries implement various strat
Building contraptions of eternity from what is relevant and known? hmmm. Not possible say I? it's all golden though, all human devices enrapture me. I live in adoration of the life of a hominid, human man and AND notably in this commentary, his hedonic sense of smell. The pale bulwark shows up at the end so I truly think CH4 is gonna take us out of the present, finally?!?! I love Christians. I used to live it so I know them well. left that all behind. Don't need no time machine forwards or backwards, but this candle gives off a beautiful life, the book I mean.

Les émissions de méthane (CH4) constituent un impact environnemental souvent méconnu de l'extraction de gaz fossile et de pétrole. Pourtant, les scientifiques y accordent une grande attention. En effet, le méthane est un gaz à effet de serre puissant, bien que sa durée de vie dans l'atmosphère soit plus courte que celle du dioxyde de carbone (CO2). Ainsi, réduire les émissions de méthane peut rapidement avoir des effets bénéfiques sur le climat.Pour réduire ces émissions, il est essentiel de pouvoir les détecter. Une équipe internationale dirigée par l'Université polytechnique de Valence en Espagne travaille sur ce sujet. Dans un article publié dans les Environmental Science & Technology Letters, ces chercheurs révèlent avoir détecté, grâce à plusieurs satellites, la plus grande fuite de méthane jamais enregistrée sur un puits de pétrole. Cet incident a eu lieu dans le champ de Karaturun Est, au Kazakhstan. La fuite a provoqué une flamme de 10 mètres de haut et la formation d'un cratère de 15 mètres de diamètre.Les chercheurs expliquent que la fuite a débuté le 9 juin 2023 et n'a pu être maîtrisée que le 25 décembre de la même année. Pendant ces six mois, 131 000 tonnes de méthane se sont échappées dans l'atmosphère. Pour sceller le puits, des milliers de tonnes d'eau et des boues de forage ont dû être injectées. Cette découverte souligne l'importance de la surveillance et de la détection des fuites de méthane pour mieux gérer et réduire les émissions de ce gaz à effet de serre. La technologie satellitaire joue ici un rôle crucial dans la protection de notre environnement en permettant une intervention rapide et efficace. Hébergé par Acast.

An international team of researchers has successfully used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to map the weather on the hot gas-giant exoplanet WASP-43 b.Precise brightness measurements over a broad spectrum of mid-infrared light, combined with 3D climate models and previous observations from other telescopes, suggest the presence of thick, high clouds covering the nightside, clear skies on the dayside, and equatorial winds upwards of 5,000 miles per hour mixing atmospheric gases around the planet.The investigation is just the latest demonstration of the exoplanet science now possible with Webb's extraordinary ability to measure temperature variations and detect atmospheric gases trillions of miles away.WASP-43 b is a “hot Jupiter” type of exoplanet: similar in size to Jupiter, made primarily of hydrogen and helium, and much hotter than any of the giant planets in our own solar system. Although its star is smaller and cooler than the Sun, WASP-43 b orbits at a distance of just 1.3 million miles – less than 1/25th the distance between Mercury and the Sun.With such a tight orbit, the planet is tidally locked, with one side continuously illuminated and the other in permanent darkness. Although the nightside never receives any direct radiation from the star, strong eastward winds transport heat around from the dayside.Since its discovery in 2011, WASP-43 b has been observed with numerous telescopes, including NASA's Hubble and now-retired Spitzer space telescopes.“With Hubble, we could clearly see that there is water vapor on the dayside. Both Hubble and Spitzer suggested there might be clouds on the nightside,” explained Taylor Bell, researcher from the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute and lead author of a study published today in Nature Astronomy. “But we needed more precise measurements from Webb to really begin mapping the temperature, cloud cover, winds, and more detailed atmospheric composition all the way around the planet.”Although WASP-43 b is too small, dim, and close to its star for a telescope to see directly, its short orbital period of just 19.5 hours makes it ideal for phase curve spectroscopy, a technique that involves measuring tiny changes in brightness of the star-planet system as the planet orbits the star.Since the amount of mid-infrared light given off by an object depends largely on how hot it is, the brightness data captured by Webb can then be used to calculate the planet's temperature.The broad spectrum of mid-infrared light captured by Webb also made it possible to measure the amount of water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4) around the planet. “Webb has given us an opportunity to figure out exactly which molecules we're seeing and put some limits on the abundances,” said Joanna Barstow, a co-author from the Open University in the U.K.The spectra show clear signs of water vapor on the nightside as well as the dayside of the planet, providing additional information about how thick the clouds are and how high they extend in the atmosphere. Surprisingly, the data also shows a distinct lack of methane anywhere in the atmosphere. Although the dayside is too hot for methane to exist (most of the carbon should be in the form of carbon monoxide), methane should be stable and detectable on the cooler nightside.“The fact that we don't see methane tells us that WASP-43b must have wind speeds reaching something like 5,000 miles per hour,” explained Barstow. “If winds move gas around from the dayside to the nightside and back again fast enough, there isn't enough time for the expected chemical reactions to produce detectable amounts of methane on the nightside.”The team thinks that because of this wind-driven mixing, the atmospheric chemistry is the same all the way around the planet, which wasn't apparent from past work with Hubble and Spitzer.
Welcome to the world of complete combustion, where molecules mingle and react in a mesmerizing display of chemistry in action. In this episode with Rachel Kaiser, we'll take you on a journey through the magical realm of combustion.Complete combustion occurs when a fuel (usually hydrocarbon-based) reacts with an adequate supply of oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the only products. The reaction is represented by the general equation:Fuel+Oxygen→Carbon Dioxide+Water+EnergyFuel+Oxygen→Carbon Dioxide+Water+EnergyFor example, the complete combustion of methane (CH4) can be represented by the equation:CH4(
Steve Meller, Founder and CEO of CH4 Global, joined Alex to talk about the scale up of his company which is focused on massively reducing methane emissions from cattle using a seaweed technology. Steve Meller brings experience from the corporate, entrepreneurial and academic world to his leadership of CH4 Global – all are playing their part from the selection of the tech, the selection of the team and the essential core of a product that is commercially profitable from first sale. Listen to hear how Steve has led the scale up from research and lab development through their current project to construct their first commercial-scale facility. Agriculture accounts for 12 gigatonnes of co2-equivalent methane – whether you're focused on ch2 or co2, listen in to learn how CH4 Global is scaling and their focus on real impact tied to a strong commercial. Steve talks with Alex about their capital efficient approach focused on validating the science, demonstrating commercial-scale production, and ensuring positive economics for farmers. He also discussed strategic partnerships for further scaling, critical to accessing the global market for his product.

Le carburant des bateaux de marchandise est un fioul lourd difficile à brûler. Sa combustion rejette du dioxyde de carbone (CO2), du méthane (CH4) et du protoxyde d'azote (N2O), les principaux gaz responsables du réchauffement climatique. En définitive, les navires utilisant un fioul lourd émettent 3 500 fois plus de particules fines que le diesel. Pour (enfin) décarboner ce secteur, Guillaume Le Grand a fondé TOWT, le premier armateur Français de transport trans océanique à la voile. Il était au micro de Christophe Meunier-Jacob.
Le secteur du #transport émet à lui seul 32 % de CO2 au niveau national, 27 % en Europe et 23 % au niveau mondial. Sa décarbonation dépend de tous les acteurs : industriels, opérateurs, mainteneurs, pouvoirs publics, consommateurs. Chacun doit faire sa part. l'ONG Transport & Environnement travaille sur cet enjeu majeur depuis de nombreuses années. Et pour en parler ce matin, nous recevons Nicolas RAFFIN, son porte parole. "En 2019, les concentrations atmosphériques de CO2 (dioxyde de carbone) ont été les plus élevées depuis au moins 2 millions d'années et les concentrations de CH4 (méthane) et de N2O (protoxyde d'azote) ont été les plus élevées depuis au moins 800 000 ans. Depuis 1750, les augmentations des concentrations de CO2 (47 %) et de CH4 (156 %) dépassent largement [...] l'ampleur de leurs variations naturelles plurimillénaires entre les périodes glaciaires et interglaciaires des derniers 800 000 ans au moins." Ce paragraphe est tiré du 6ème Rapport du 1er Groupe de Travail du GIEC. Ce rapport date de 2021. Il est mis à jour tous les 6 ans. Il est important de rappeler l'urgence de limiter le plus possible les émissions de GES simultanément à la nécessaire adaptation de nos modes de vie et de nos infrastructures pour limiter le plus possible la hausse des températures les événements météorologiques et climatiques de plus en plus extrêmes. Le premier secteur concerné reste le transport. Véhicules électriques, Hybrides rechargeables, taille et pouids des véhicules, nouveaux carburants de synthèse pour le secteur aérien, de quoi parle-t-on vraiment ? Nicolas Raffin dresse l'état des lieux des vraies et fausses solutions.

"We need to be using less energy, which is coming from these forms, which is contributing to carbon emissions, but a whole lot more of forms which are flexible, which are stranded, which are carbon neutral or better even greenhouse negative."My guest today is Daniel Batten. Daniel is an entrepreneur, author, cleantech investor and co-founder of CH4 capital, a climate tech fund whose mission is to accelerate humanity's response to removing methane from our atmosphere, with methane being one of the worst greenhouse gas emitters for how it traps heat in our atmosphere. In this episode we discuss effective communication techniques for progressives seeking to educate peers about Bitcoin's climate benefits. Daniel advocates for bold, data-driven claims backed by scientific consensus to convey Bitcoin's potential to environmentalists and ESG investors. We discuss bitcoin as a source of hope for progressives that can reignite passion from the progressive and environmentalist movements, and how to have open, thoughtful discussions with folks that still have yet to understand bitcoin's potential and benefits. We discuss Bitcoin's evolving environmental narrative, quantifying and using data to avoid vague speech that sounds like greenwashing, increasing mainstream media coverage of bitcoin in a positive light, and the work still needed to be done to show why Bitcoin is the greatest ESG asset and tool of our time.

La COP28 démarre ce jeudi 30 novembre à Dubaï avec une priorité qui divise profondément les participants : il s'agit de la fin programmée des énergies fossiles. Bien d'autres sujets sont à l'agenda, tout aussi déterminants mais moins médiatisés. C'est le cas de la baisse des émissions de méthane. Un gaz à effet de serre beaucoup moins présent que le carbone mais beaucoup plus nocif pour le climat. Son pouvoir de réchauffement est trente fois plus élevé que celui du carbone sur le très long terme. Le méthane existe à l'état naturel mais c'est la hausse des émissions provoquées par l'activité humaine qui est responsable pour un quart du réchauffement de la planète. Il y en a aujourd'hui 2,5 fois plus dans l'atmosphère qu'avant l'ère industrielle. Et les émissions augmentent très vite, de 13% par an.En éliminant le méthane d'origine humaine, on marquerait rapidement des points contre le réchauffement, préconisent les experts du climat. Il y a deux ans, 150 pays ont pris l'engagement de réduire les émissions de méthane de 30% d'ici à 2030, mais avec peu de retombées concrètes pour le moment.RéglementationLa COP28 peut faire bouger les lignes ? Elle a déjà produit des effets positifs dans le secteur des énergies fossiles, responsables de 35% des émanations de méthane d'origine humaine. L'extraction du charbon, du pétrole et du gaz s'accompagne systématiquement d'émissions de ce gaz. Les Européens arrivent à Dubaï en ayant accompli un premier pas, avec l'adoption il y a 15 jours d'une réglementation limitant les rejets. Comme les 27 sont aujourd'hui les plus gros acheteurs de gaz, leur standard peut s'appliquer bien au-delà des frontières de l'Union.À lire aussiClimat: une baisse de la pollution entraîne une hausse des gaz à effet de serreAux États-Unis, des taxes sur les émissions de méthane entreront en vigueur dès l'an prochain. Mais pour que la contrainte des États s'applique, il faudra être en mesure de contrôler la provenance des émissions de ce gaz très volatile. Là aussi, la COP28 a eu un effet mobilisateur. Notamment sur Exxon, la première compagnie pétrolière occidentale jusqu'alors fermement opposée au partenariat proposé par les Nations unies pour assurer la surveillance des émissions. Son PDG vient de changer d'avis. Un geste encourageant même si la compagnie demeure déterminée à exploiter les énergies fossiles le plus longtemps possible.Revoir le modèle agricoleL'agriculture est le plus gros émetteur de méthane, CH4, devant l'industrie des hydrocarbures, à cause de la rumination des troupeaux élevés pour satisfaire la demande en viande, et à cause de la riziculture. Pour la céréale consommée par la moitié de la population mondiale, il y a des solutions techniques. La Chine a mis au point une variété destinée à l'Afrique consommant peu d'eau et émettant 70% de méthane en moins.Pour l'élevage, c'est plus délicat. L'exemple des Pays-Bas sert de repoussoir. Le gouvernement prévoit d'abattre la moitié du troupeau devenu trop polluant mais il s'est heurté à la révolte des paysans. Les résistances au changement dans certaines catégories de population peuvent se révéler plus difficiles à surmonter que celles des lobbys industriels.À lire aussiOuverture de la COP28 à Dubaï: 197 pays face au bouleversement climatique et à ses conséquences
Media coverage of reliable energy tends to focus on oil and gas. Oil comes in hundreds of different grades of complex hydrocarbon molecules. Natural gas, methane, is the simplest hydrocarbon of them all with a molecular formula of CH4. In between methane and crude oil lie Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) – successively more complex combinations […]
O evento ambiental mais esperado do ano, a 28ª Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre as Mudanças Climáticas (COP28), se inicia dentro de duas semanas, em Dubai, para debater como os países podem agir para enfrentar o aquecimento do planeta. As decisões são baseadas nas conclusões dos cientistas do IPCC (Painel Intergovernamental de Mudanças Climáticas), que reúne especialistas do mundo todo em diversos aspectos do problema: desde as causas até o que precisa ser feito para evitar que aconteçam os piores cenários antecipados pela ciência. O órgão já publicou seis robustos relatórios sobre os avanços das pesquisas nesta área. A cientista brasileira Thelma Krug, ex-vice-presidente do painel e por mais de 15 anos representante do Brasil nas negociações nas COPs, é uma das maiores especialistas do Brasil nestas questões. Krug tem doutorado em estatísticas espaciais pela University of Sheffield, na Inglaterra, e se especializou em observação da Terra no Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais (Inpe). Ela respondeu às perguntas da RFI.RFI Brasil: No relatório revelado em 2021, o IPCC indicou que se as emissões globais de gases de efeito estufa fossem zeradas – o que é praticamente impossível –, o processo de aquecimento do planeta cessaria. Mas isso não significa dizer que aquecimento global seja reversível. Por quê?Essa é uma questão importante para gente ver. Eu gostaria de singularizar mais a parte do aquecimento global provocado pela influência humana. A gente faz essa diferenciação porque a gente tem uma variabilidade natural do clima, agora associada àquela variabilidade que já trazia vários eventos extremos como altas temperaturas, ciclones tropicais, inundações. Essas coisas não são novas. O que a gente está vendo agora é que, agregada à variabilidade natural, a gente tem uma componente humana que já levou a um aumento do aquecimento global. Pelo último relatório do IPCC, era de 1,1°C acima dos níveis pré-industriais, mas esse número já deve estar mais alto.Ou seja, com esse aquecimento, a gente já teve uma grande modificação no sistema climático, na atmosfera. Com grandes emissões de gases de efeito estufa de natureza humana, nós estamos falando do oceano que já se aqueceu na camada superficial até 700 metros. Isso já está constatado. E você tem a criosfera também sendo altamente impactada, com o derretimento das geleiras, a perda de massa de gelo no Ártico, e finalmente na biosfera terrestre. Ou seja, você já causou muitas mudanças por conta desse aquecimento.Indo direto para a sua pergunta, eu diria que se a gente entender um pouquinho dessa dinâmica e de como é que esses processos funcionam, não. A gente sabe que isso não seria factível, mesmo se nós eliminássemos todas as emissões de gases de efeito estufa amanhã. O oceano, por exemplo, não vai parar de se aquecer, porque a dinâmica dos oceanos é um processo muito lento. Ele é extremamente volumoso, enorme. Esse processo leva um tempo; ele não para.Com esse aquecimento e também com a questão do derretimento das geleiras, você está vendo que a elevação do nível do mar vai continuar por centenas, milhares de anos. Ou seja, não, não se reverte. E o que preocupa é que a gente não está vendo nada que nos leve a crer que nós estamos numa trajetória de querer voltar para um patamar anterior.A redução das emissões é o único jeito de o aquecimento parar? Como o IPCC encara a separação do que é o ciclo natural do impacto provocado pelas emissões geradas pelo ser humano?Existe assim, uma relação que você vê como muito direta entre as emissões de gases de efeito estufa, provocados pelo homem na maior parte das vezes, o aumento da concentração de gases de efeito estufa na atmosfera e a relação desse aumento com a elevação da temperatura. A gente vê quase que uma relação direta dessas coisas: emissão, concentração, temperatura. Então, não tem um jeito de a gente reduzir a contribuição humana para o aquecimento global se a gente não tiver uma reversão muito significativa das emissões de gases de efeito estufa e, particularmente, das emissões de CO2, que é o gás de efeito estufa de natureza humana, antrópica, mais abundante. Ele é um gás que permanece na atmosfera por centenas, milhares de anos.O IPCC é bem claro nisso: a não ser que a gente tenha ambiciosas, profundas e sustentadas reduções de emissões de gases de efeito estufa, a gente não vai conseguir reduzir a temperatura e atingir aquilo que preconiza o Acordo de Paris, que seria manter o aumento da temperatura média global bem abaixo de 2°C e perseguir o máximo de 1,5°C.Qual é o grau de certeza das conclusões do IPCC? Os avanços científicos podem levar muitas pessoas a acharem que os cientistas do IPCC também podem voltar atrás daqui a alguns anos.O papel do IPCC é fazer uma avaliação de toda a literatura do mundo na temática de mudança do clima, em todos os temas. Quando você pega essas milhares de publicações de todo o mundo, são basicamente dois elementos: a evidência que você tem nessas publicações e a concordância entre elas. A gente vê, ao longo do tempo e a cada relatório de avaliação do IPCC, que sai a cada cinco anos, que você vai aumentando o grau de certeza. A gente chama de uma linguagem de calibração: a probabilidade de que aquele evento ou aquela conclusão vá ocorrer, ou já ocorreu, vai aumentando.Outro dia eu estava participando de uma webcast com alunos de mestrado e um dos alunos falou: “eu não ouso desafiar resultados de IPCC porque tudo que a gente viu que o painel já vinha falando há décadas, hoje a gente vê que está acontecendo”. E não é de hoje que o IPCC vem falando. A ciência da mudança do clima data de muitas dezenas de anos atrás, quando já se via que esse aumento da concentração do CO2, do dióxido de carbono na atmosfera, teria um impacto. A certeza vai se consolidando, você vai tendo mais evidências.Um dos pontos onde a gente conseguiu sair da linguagem de calibração e passou para ser um fato é a questão da influência humana no aquecimento do sistema climático. E não foi fácil. Quando a gente começou, lá em 1988, 1989, a gente sabia que alguma coisa anômala estava acontecendo. E de uma maneira mais profunda, é isso que preocupa os cientistas: a velocidade com que a mudança, ou seja, o aquecimento, vem acontecendo desde 1950, 1960 e 1970. A partir daí, você está tendo uma mudança na taxa de aquecimento que é assustadora. Ela é assustadora.Sobre as fontes de emissões, temos os combustíveis fósseis usados na energia, nos transportes, que são os maiores responsáveis pelo efeito estufa. Mas também temos a agricultura, com 23%, e é um aspecto que nos atinge diretamente enquanto consumidores que somos. O IPCC foi claro tanto nos estudos sobre o uso da terra quanto nos de adaptação, mostrando que o impacto ambiental é menor se as pessoas consumirem menos carne vermelha. O painel não sugere que as pessoas virem vegetarianas, mas indica que a carne vermelha tem um impacto pior. O que a torna mais prejudicial que os outros tipos de carne?Foi interessante mencionar que o IPCC não é prescritivo. Se as pessoas quiserem assimilar aquela ciência, elas se sintam à vontade, vamos assim dizer.Esses 23% o IPCC associa não somente à agricultura, mas também a floresta e outro uso da terra. Quando a gente fala de floresta e outros usos da terra, a gente está incorporando nesse valor também a questão do desmatamento, que deve contribuir por volta de dez, 11% das emissões totais. A agricultura não tem muito associada a ela emissões de dióxido de carbono, mas ela tem emissões de metano, outro gás de efeito estufa que tem um poder de aquecimento até maior do que o CO2, mas que tem um tempo de vida muito curto, relativo ao CO2. O metano (CH4) tem um tempo de vida, de permanência na atmosfera, de 12 ou 13 anos.Na agricultura, o maior contribuinte para as emissões de metano seria a fermentação entérica do gado. No caso do Brasil e outros países em desenvolvimento, principalmente, o gado, não é confinado. Você não tem tanta liberdade de mudar a alimentação que esse gado vai ter no Brasil. A Embrapa já está fazendo muitos estudos para poder mudar a forragem, de forma que você tivesse um tipo que não tivesse propensão a tantas emissões de metano, através do seu arroto e gases. Mas isso custa dinheiro. Não é uma coisa simples de fazer.A outra forma é o manejo dos dejetos animais, que também são emissores de metano. E vale ressaltar que o pessoal fala da questão da carne, mas não é só carne: é o leite também. As vaquinhas também arrotam.Qual a sua opinião sobre a forma como as conclusões do IPCC são comunicadas, seja pelo próprio painel, pela ONU ou pela imprensa? Tratar um assunto tão grave de um ponto de vista menos negativo, menos apocalíptico, poderia ajudar a evitar que as pessoas não tenham a sensação de que, de que qualquer jeito, a temperatura vai continuar aumentando?Muitas pessoas, quando elas veem os relatórios do IPCC, elas acham que não está dando uma ênfase tão profunda quanto imaginavam que ele deveria dar, indo para essa ideia mais apocalíptica. O IPCC tende a não ser catastrófico. A gente tenta dizer que a gente está numa situação bastante complicada, mas nada que não possa ainda ser limitado, a um nível que minimize os riscos de impactos profundos, tanto no sistema climático, quanto no sistema humano. No sistema humano você está vendo um monte de mortes por conta de altas temperaturas. Nem aqui no Brasil, em que estamos acostumados com altas temperaturas, você tinha uma sensação de temperatura por volta de 50°C, como temos agora.Mas ao mesmo tempo em que você está querendo reduzir suas emissões de gases de efeito estufa, tudo que está acontecendo leva a ser inevitável que você aumente o uso da energia, com o ar condicionado, por exemplo. Por outro lado, tem uma conclusão que eu gosto no relatório de mitigação, que diz que atualmente a gente já tem opções globais de mitigação que nos levariam a reduzir, em 2030, pela metade as emissões de 2019, que foram as mais altas que nós já tivemos nos últimos 2 milhões de anos.Agora, ao mesmo tempo em que o IPCC diz que a gente tem à disposição essas opções, ele também incorpora todas as barreiras que você pode ter, que não seriam tanto tecnológicas, mas seriam barreiras institucionais, financeiras, principalmente a questão do financiamento para os países em desenvolvimento. Quem financia a implementação dessas tecnologias, dessas opções que já estão disponíveis? É um ponto crucial: a gente vai precisar de trilhões por ano para limitar o aquecimento.Enquanto isso, muitos preferem apostar que as soluções para todo o problema ainda está para ser inventada, com a evolução da tecnologia, o que daria carta branca para poluir à vontade.Eu tenho temor dessa ideia de que as tecnologias vão surgir e então "deixa tudo acontecer agora mesmo, porque depois a tecnologia vai segurar as pontas lá na frente". Uma delas está tomando uma intensidade maior do que nós tivemos no passado, que é você fazer a modificação da radiação solar. Quando você tem grandes erupções vulcânicas, por conta de toda a liberação de aerossóis, de partículas, elas acabam prevenindo a entrada da radiação solar ou bloqueando parte dela, antes de chegar na Terra. A ideia é evitar que a radiação chegue e depois, no caso do aquecimento global, não consiga sair, por conta da concentração de gases de efeito estufa. O pessoal está pensando em soltar essas partículas na estratosfera e, ao fazer isso, bloquear parte dessa radiação, de uma forma humana.O problema é que todos os modelos que estão sendo estudados do efeito dessa modificação da radiação solar levam a que você tenha impactos e riscos diferenciados para diferentes regiões do planeta. Por exemplo, para a África, esses modelos já apontam para uma redução na precipitação, ou seja, uma modificação na precipitação que pode afetar a agricultura deles, que vai afetar a economia desses países, que já são extremamente afetados de uma forma totalmente injusta.O pessoal está pensando da seguinte forma: o que tem mais risco? O risco da gente deixar aquelas altas temperaturas afetarem os nossos ecossistemas, ou o risco de você ter essas tecnologias que vão afetar diferentes partes do mundo? A preocupação é que você tenha uma implementação dessas tecnologias de uma maneira unilateral. Essas pesquisas ainda não estão envolvendo pesquisadores de países em desenvolvimento.Sob o ponto de vista dos países em desenvolvimento, nós estamos realmente olhando para a redução das emissões de gases de efeito estufa, e não buscar uma potencial solução para os impactos do aumento da temperatura. Os países em desenvolvimento têm uma aversão a qualquer tipo de alternativa que não seja aquela da gente buscar uma redução profunda das emissões de gases de efeito estufa.Qual a sua expectativa para essa COP 28? O fato de ela acontecer em um país que é tão dependente do petróleo como os Emirados Árabes Unidos é frustrante de antemão, em termos da ambição nas conclusões que serão anunciadas em meados de dezembro? O processo da Conferência das Partes é um processo lento. Quando você está falando de um processo sob as Nações Unidas, você está falando em consenso dos 196 países membros da Convenção do Clima. É por isso que você tem uma dificuldade enorme. Então, eu acho que a gente vai caminhando em doses homeopáticas, como eu digo, quando na verdade a gente já deveria estar trabalhando com processos muito mais acelerados. A gente está vendo avanços na questão das tratativas de redução dos combustíveis fósseis, mas como as indústrias de óleo e gás falam, enquanto houver demanda, nós vamos continuar produzindo. Nós não vamos parar e deixar o pessoal na mão.Mas estamos vendo, também, uma mudança na linguagem. A ciência diz que se trata de fase out das emissões por combustíveis fósseis, ou seja, eliminar. Mas a linguagem que é usada é fase down, ou seja, eu não vou eliminar, mas eu vou reduzir. Essa linguagem eu acho que é irreversível. Enquanto, em alguns pontos, mesmo dentro do IPCC, a gente tinha uma enorme dificuldade de tratar com a questão dos combustíveis fósseis, aos poucos a gente vai vendo essas doses homeopáticas entrando, mesmo que seja como fase down. Não importa, porque esse fase down em algum ponto entrará como fase out.Você também já está vendo isso nas reduções das emissões pelo carvão. A China está fazendo uma redução significativa e indo muito para as renováveis.Eu acho que uma questão importante que também conseguiu evoluir, principalmente na última COP, é a questão de perdas e danos. Significa haver o reconhecimento de que os países, principalmente os países insulares, as pequenas ilhas em desenvolvimento, seja aqui no Caribe, seja no Pacífico, que estão extremamente afetadas por eventos extremos, deveriam ser, de alguma forma recompensados por isso.

Imagine a world where instead of water, the oceans are made of methane. Instead of swimming in H2O, you'd be paddling around in fizzy CH4. Such oceans actually exist on one of Saturn's moons, called Titan. In fact, the methane and ethane on Titan play a similar role to the water on Earth: they cycle through the atmosphere and form clouds that eventually rain down onto the surface.

Let's bypass the idea that DNA, the blueprint for proteins, couldn't come about by random chance. Perhaps the process worked backwards: perhaps the proteins came first. That was the concept behind the Miller-Urey experiment of 1953, in which the chemicals thought to have been present in earth's "primordial soup" (water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2)) were all combined and subjected to electricity, meant to simulate lightning. Proteins are made of 20 amino acid building blocks, and this experiment successfully produced more than those 20 (there are more possible amino acids than just those used in our own core set). This experiment was heralded as proof of abiogenesis, or the production of life from non-living matter. There are a number of major problems with this, though. First, the amino acids produced in this experiment and in all subsequent experiments like it produce a racemic mixture of amino acids, meaning the orientation of the molecules is a combination of non-superimposable mirror images of one another. This refers to the positions of non-symmetrical components of the amino acids, whether they're on the right or the left side (much like our thumbs on our left and right hands appear on opposite sides, as non-superimposable mirror images of one another). However, in nature, amino acids are almost exclusively in the L-form. Its opposite, called the D-form, causes the subsequently formed protein to mis-fold. Since a protein's 3-D structure is determined by the chemistry of its building blocks, and the structure is critical to its function, this makes a protein built of a racemic mixture of amino acids non-functional and toxic to life. This problem has never been circumvented in the laboratory. But even supposing it were, supposing the early environment beginning with chemicals in the primordial soup might somehow produce only L-form amino acids, we'd still have the information problem. Without DNA instructions to tell the body which amino acids to use in which sequence, the average length of a mammalian protein is about 400 amino acids in length. The probability of each amino acid out of 20 being placed in the correct sequence at random is (1/20)^400. If you plug odds like that into an online calculator, what you get is: zero. The probability is effectively zero. And that's just the random formation of a single protein, assuming the orientation of all the amino acids was somehow magically corrected. A single irreducibly complex cell would require somewhere between 3-500 of those. (And that's not even addressing the entirely separate question in abiogenesis of "what constitutes life." A dead body has all of those functional proteins, but they no longer do anything. Why not? What is the indescribable "something" that they have lost--and thus, what would need to be bestowed upon a spontaneously produced protein to cause it to function, even supposing such a protein could be produced in the first place?)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feed additives have a role to play in busting methane emissions (CH4) but current FDA policy is preventing US farmers from gaining access to such tools, says a leading expert.

Thanks so much to Steve Meller, CEO of CH4 Global, for coming on this week's leaders on a mission podcast. Steve has a unique energy and is vastly experienced in many different fields and disciplines. With time ticking, and a rapid transformation in greenhouse gas emissions needed to limit climate disaster, Steve talks through CH4's mission and vision to drastically reduce ruminant methane emissions through the coming decade. Having set ambitious goals to reduce the equivalent of one gigaton of CO2 equivalent in the next five years, he outlines how the company is leveraging proven science and technology for growing seaweed into innovative new livestock supplements that reduce methane produced by cows by up to 90%.
Cómo se diagnostica el SIBO?Hay 2 formas de saber si tenemos SIBO o no:ASPIRADO YEYUNAL, que se realiza mediante endoscopia y el diagnóstico se considera positivo si el recuento del contenido duodeno-yeyunal es superior ó igual a 103 UFC/ml de bacterias gram negativas aerobias o anaerobias estrictas. Este tipo de prueba no suele ser la de primera elección, ya que resulta CARA e invasiva, además de que si el SIBO se encuentra en íleon (es decir, al final del intestino delgado), esta prueba no lo detectará.TEST de ALIENTO, que es el más habitual y usado: consiste en beber una solución de 10g de lactulosa lactitol o 75g de glucosa e iremos soplando cada 20-30 minutos durante un período de 2 a 3 horas. Lo que se va a medir en esta prueba de aire espirado van a ser 2 gases principalmente: hidrógeno y metano, que van a ser los gases generados por ese sobrecrecimiento de bacterias intestinales que, al fermentar los azúcares de la solución que nos hemos bebido, fermentarán por un gas, por otro o por ambos.¿Qué ventajas tiene esta prueba? más económica no es invasiva Hoy en día hay laboratorios que incluso te mandan el kit a casa para realizarse uno mismo la prueba, así que resulta mucho más sencillo y cómodo. Aunque también tiene algún que otro inconveniente, como la sensibilidad y especificidad, que son menores que en aspirado yeyunal.Como consideraciones previas antes de la realización de la prueba, vamos a nombrar las siguientes, aunque va a depender, al final, de cada laboratorio, pero hablaremos de las que suelen ser comunes casi en todos ellos:un mes antes de la realización del test: no se debe haber tomado antibióticos, probióticos ni laxantes. Ni tampoco deben habernos realizado ninguna colonoscopia, ni habernos aplicado ningún enemas.El día anterior a la prueba, no debe haber consumo de fibra o de alimentos ricos en fibra y, según, que lab o guía miremos, tampoco de HC. Vamos, solo podremos ingerir protes.Las 12h previas a la prueba, no se debe ni se puede comer, beber (ni siquiera agua), fumar, masticar chicle, ni pintarse los labios.Justo antes de la prueba: no se debe haber hecho ejercicio físico los 30' antes. Reposo absoluto! Y, cuáles van a ser los valores diagnósticos?Según el sustrato usado, los valores diagnósticos serán unos u otros.Si se ha ingerido la solución de Lactulosa/lactitol, los valores de referencia de H2 respecto a los valores basales, será de un aumento de más de 20 ppm en los primeros 90' de la prueba. Los valores de referencia para CH4 rondarán los 10-12ppm o por encima de los valores basales. Si el sustrato ha sido la glucosa, los valores para H2 también serán de un aumento de 20 ppm o más, y de CH4 de más de 10 ppm sobre los valores basales, siempre dentro de los primeros 90'.Además, es muy importante que durante la realización de esta prueba, se valore contínuamente la sintomatología compatible y la velocidad de tránsito de la persona. Vamos a hablar ahora del tratamiento para SIBO, cómo tratamos el Sibo?Bien, pues lo primero que debéis saber es que el tratamiento de SIBO consiste por un lado en tratamiento con ATB, por otro, en el abordaje nutricional para adaptar la alimentación y por último pero no por ello menos importante, en el abordaje psicológico para la gestión del estrés. Vamos con el tratamiento farmacológico, que puede se convencional o con herbáceos:Si se opta por el tratamiento médico tradicional, es decir, mediante ATB farmacológicos, siempre siempre vamos a necesitar tener el test de aliento realizado en los 2 gases comentados, ya que en función del gas que se eleva, se va a escoger un fármaco u otro.Se utilizan antibióticos de amplio espectro entre 7 y 14 días para corregir el sobrecrecimiento. A veces, son necesarios varios ciclos de tratamiento, por lo que es recomendable usarlos a dosis mínimas efectivas.En el caso de elevación de H2 suelen pautar Rifaximina o Spiraxin (nombre comercial).Si se eleva el metano se aconseja asociar 2 ATB: Rifaximina + Neomicina/ Metronidazol. Es necesaria la combinación de ambos ATB, ya que como hemos comentado antes, aunque en el test solamente se eleve el CH4 seguramente haya producción de H2 y por ello va a ser necesaria la combinación de ambos ATB, para erradicar tanto arqueas como bacterias. En el caso de SIBO por sulfuro de H2, el tratamiento es el mismo que en el caso de SIBO por metano, es decir, combinación de Rifaximina + Neomicina/ Metronidazol.
Kevin Kirchman is editor of the Climate Science Journal, which he founded in 2017. He developed a broad-based new epistemological view (theory of knowledge), including new theories of deduction (the first since Aristotle), validation (a much-improved scientific method), induction (how we form ideas, or the basis of a science of innovation), lexicology (meaning), and symbolic representation (grammar). These theories were confirmed as an emerging science of epistemology by demonstration as the basis commercial artificial intelligence software for natural language reasoning, sold to businesses such as P&G, Litton Aerospace, and Baxter Healthcare, in a company he founded that was subject to an acquisition offer by a G200 firm. This technology was the first in the world to deliver direct answers to live questions from unstructured, random text from the internet. Mr. Kirchman has been an entrepreneur for 30+ years, is a non-fiction author and speaker, with degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering (Cornell) and computer science, and was a graduate student at the London School of Economics in philosophy of science, before withdrawing to found his software firm. He has written many articles at the request of leading magazines and newspapers, and two books, and is preparing his third, “If Earth Warms 1°, Let It Cool 30 Minutes”. Regarding his climate science papers, “...seems to be path-breaking research in the domain. The paper reads nice and the science involved is analogous and clear. This paper is a hallmark and would benefit the advances in science, government planning as well as policy makers for the next course of action. I congratulate you for this great work and thank for giving me an opportunity to read it and enlighten myself.” PhD, Atmospheric Science and Meteorology, IISc M.Sc., Geophysics, ISC, BSc., (Hons) Physics, Delhi U “You have found a promising approach to demonstrate successfully that the long-suspected culprits of global warming, e.g., CO2, CH4, are actually not!"

THE THESIS: The corruption that allowed Jan 6 to become a full-blown riot is the same corruption that allowed Black Lives Matter, Inc. and Antifa to run wild. It is the same corruption that pimped the Russia hoax, the Ukraine bribe hoax, it is the same corruption that allows the so called Attorney General to announce he will not respect the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe Vs. Wade. Which is worse, Jan 6 or Joe Biden's corruption? They are one and the same. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Psalm 46:10 10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Luke 8:16-18 - A Lamp on a Stand 16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.” THE NEWS & COMMENT: Frightened people make terrible decisions and, on every front, The Party is purposefully terrifying people into taking insane actions. How Trauma Became a Political Tool [AUDIO - Cassidy Hutchinson testifies that she was told that as then-President Donald Trump was being driven back to the White House after the Jan. 6 rally that he demanded to be taken to the Capitol and tried to grab the steering wheel from a Secret Service agent. Multiple Reporters: Secret Service to Dispute J6 Committee Star Witness; Maybe you shouldn't rely on hearsay. [AUDIO] - Plenty of videos of Alex Jones and Ali Alexander urging the crowd *away* from the Capitol Building. They had a permit for speeches in front of the Supreme Court. Pay attention to who leaves this all out Now, we need retired FBI to do the same! Ray Epps was apparently talking about a “plan” and was worried that the crowd would “screw it up.” But, good ole Ray is not in jail and not being prosecuted. Gee . . . I wonder why that is? EXCLUSIVE: Ray Epps Was Worried Fast-Moving January 6 Crowd Might Interfere With ‘The Plan,' Kentucky Man Claims [AUDIO] - Michael Stenger testified that there [MAY HAVE BEEN] paid professional agitators on January 6th. Now he's dead… Julie Kelly on how the FBI went after John Eastman's phone: “American Gestapo.” [AUDIO] - Voicemail from Joe Biden to Hunter saying he wants to discuss their China business deals. CONTEXT: NEW: In 2018, Joe Biden left a voicemail for Hunter saying he wanted to talk to him about a New York Times report on Hunter's business deals in China. Biden repeatedly said he “never discussed” business with Hunter. [AUDIO] - Hunter pleading with a Russian escort after paying her with $10,000 that appears to have come from Joe Biden The two men who were arrested with 150,000 fentanyl pills in Tulare, CA on Friday have been released from custody on their own recognizance as a result of a court order from a judge following a "risk assessment". The Sheriff "strongly disagrees" with their release. - Bill Melugin, FOX News, LA It's not “just” CRT and the false idea of “transgenderism” that is being used to destroy the military, it's the prepping of the environment for rule by “medical” technocrats. 14,000 Army Guard Troops Could Be Axed Thursday for Refusing COVID Vax Retirees from the CDC and the FDA have got to speak truth: Pfizer, the FDA, the CDC and their supplicants in the Mockingbird Media lied about the mRNA staying in the injection site (why ANYONE believed that is beyond me). Pfizer documents: A Tissue Distribution Study of a [3H]-Labelled Lipid Nanoparticle-mRNA (LNP) Formulation Following Intramuscular Administration in Wistar Han Rats; dramatic increases in ovaries; Table 1, page 23 shows Total Lipid Concentration at 48 hours; very ELEVATED LNP concentrations in adrenals, injection site, liver, ovaries, bone marrow; ovaries dramatic increases 0.25 min to 48 hours The injections are leading to more Covid and more deaths. Yes, this is from Canada, but American's biology is not different from that of Canadians: Uh-Oh, what is happening in Canada? Access to information (FOI) request Shows the More Covid Injections, then the More Hospitalizations and the More Deaths; supports Trudeau's 4 shots yet infection; Canadian data clearly show that the Covid-19 gene injections have a dose-response: the more doses = the more infections = the more cases = the more hospitalizations = the more deaths. And, the people in the food supply chain had better start speaking up. They are planning a man-made food crisis so Bill Gates and Monsanto can leap in to “help.” Northern Ireland's new climate act will require removal of 500K cows, 700K sheep and 5M chickens to meet net-zero for methane, CH4. But this food is grown on rough grassland where farm crops can't be grown. Looks like they will have to remove people too! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Matt and Paul have a meandering conversation with Chris Kroeker from NW Natural about H2's role in the energy transition.04:01 - all the colors of hydrogen17:32 - difference between hydrogen (H2) and renewable natural gas (CH4)21:23 - How much H2 can go in CH4 transmission and distribution lines?26:58 - How much H2 can be used in natural gas power plants?29:35 - H2's role in industrial decarbonization (include paper mills)31:50 - Infrastructure necessary to get H2 to industrial loads (and money from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that may go toward it)36:50 - How much hydrogen infrastructure does a billion dollars get ya!? 39:15 - Is there an inverse heat rate for the electricity to H2 conversion? 55kWh/kg-H2, 1kg-H2 = 135,000 btu 55kWh/135,000btu or 2,454 btu/kWh Inverse heat rate (a.k.a. the Cold Hart Rate) = 1 / 2.454 MMBTU/MWh = 0.4075 MWh/MMBTU Break even price for electrolysis at $30/MWh = 0.4075 MWh/MMBTU * $30/MWh = $12.22/MMBTU I decided to check my concepts against known efficiencies of Proton exchange membrane electrolysis cells 3.4121 MMBTU = 1 MWh Efficiency of electrolysis conversion from MWh to H2, η = ~70% η*3.4121MMBTU/MWh = 2.38847 MMBTU/MWh Inverse heat rate (a.k.a. the Cold Hart Rate) = 1/2.38847 MMBTU/MWh = 0.4187 MWh/MMBTU Break even price for electrolysis at $30/MWh = 0.4187 MWh/MMBTU * $30/MWh = $12.56/MMBTU Special thanks to Chris Kroeker and Jonathan Hart for finding mistakes in my initial math. In exchange for Jon's help resolving my error, I will forever refer to this conversion as the “Cold Hart Rate”. I don't know if that was useful, if you have thoughts about the usefulness of an inverse heat rate or better math, let me know.Remember to share this with any friends you have that are electric utility enthusiasts like us!Public Power Underground, for electric utility enthusiasts!

The Internet has radicalized people against their own long-term wellbeing.It's true for depressed girls who derive their self-image from Instagram.It's true for guys who seek out porn instead of real partners.It's true for boys who play video games instead of becoming useful.It's true for otherwise healthy people who become anti-vaxxers.It's true for everyday citizens who suddenly become rabid partisans.And it's especially true for the tens of millions of people who, thanks to Facebook's predatory algorithms, now believe climate change is a hoax.Every family seems to have one (or six) of them now.They don't believe in manmade climate change (and usually have a Koch Brothers-funded study to back it up.) Worst of all, they often vociferously deny that there is any possibility that humans could destroy the planet.Here's how to break through to people like this.Don't try this onlineLast week, someone on Twitter accused me of trying to incite murder.Seriously.I responded with composure and rationality, but that didn't stop him from roaring back with a second litany of lies.So I tried to take it offline:Why take of offline?Because I know for a fact that 99% of the population would never treat others the way they do online. This Twitter dude wouldn't tell me to my face over dinner that I'm trying to drum up mass murder. And if he did, we would discuss until we'd reached some sort of understanding.No one wins online.Get them highKidding.Get them drunk.Kidding again.But you get my point. Get them in the right mood first. Have a nice meal together, go for a long walk where you talk about the kids and pets, then cozy up in front of the fire with a tea and some cookies.You need to get them in a safe space before you take them well outside their comfort zone.Tell them your goal isn't to convince them of anythingAnd mean it, too.Be very upfront about your goal:Look, I know you have extremely strong opinions about climate change and how it's a total hoax, but because we're [family/friends/colleagues/inmates/etc] I would really love it if you'd give me five minutes to share my perspective. I don't need you to accept any of it, I just need you to suspend disbelief and humor me so that I can at least feel heard.Almost everyone I know will grant you this request.(If they won't, they're probably an extremely unsafe person and you need to take a big step back anyway, and let them know why.)Stop calling it global warmingGlobal-scale climate change is just too confusing for small minds.They'll say stupid stuff like, “the weather is always changing” and “we've had hot and cold periods before.”And they're right.But they're also practicing some classic third-grade misdirection and they probably don't know it.To gut them of this juvenile tactic, avoid the phrases “climate change” and “global warming.”Instead, keep it grade-school simple: Call it air pollution. That's it. Air pollution. People can deny climate change and global warming, but no sane person can say that pollution isn't real.Once you've gained that foothold, then it's simply a matter of scale.Explain how global warming actually worksTo help people understand how “air pollution” works, tell them this story or do the experiment in real-time:Imagine you have an empty fish tank or a glass cactus terrarium that's airtight and full of oxygen.Now imagine you have a heat lamp shining into the glass box. Sure, some of the heat will escape through the glass, but overall, the box and its contents are going to get hotter, right? Of course.Now, instead of oxygen (O), imagine pumping nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and chlorofluorocarbons (aka CFCs) into the box. If you do this, the glass tank will get hotter, even though the heat lamp's temperature hasn't changed, because these particular gases trap the heat and keep it from escaping. This is called the greenhouse effect. (If you have access to a sauna, take them in and dump a load of water on the rocks to create steam. That's the greenhouse effect.)Now understand that planet Earth is literally a greenhouse. When we pump too many heat-trapping gases into our greenhouse air, we get all sorts of really neat benefits (like longer growing seasons, the ability to grow food at higher latitudes, fewer winter deaths, fewer heating costs, etc) and some truly heinous side effects (scorching temperatures, more weeds and invasive insects, torrential rainfall, more hurricanes, ocean acidification, desertification, rising cooling costs, rising sea levels, increased food costs due to irrigation needs, etc.) So you can see this comes down to a cost-benefit analysis, right? Cool.So my question to you is: Do you think it's in any way possible that humans could potentially pump so much air pollution into our global greenhouse that the negative side effects could maybe outweigh the positives?Then sit back and listen. Your goal here is simply to open their mind to the possibility that global warming could, theoretically, be possible.If your climate change deniers are like the ones in my family, this is where they'll tell you that it's pretty prideful to think that humans are so powerful that they could possibly mess up Mother Nature.This is where you acknowledge their opinion, and then step back in to offer your perspective.Help them realize how tiny planet Earth isI've been to forty countries, driven across North America five times for work, and I literally took a trip around the world for my first book, and can tell you firsthand that the world is incredibly tiny. (Back in the nineties, a commercial plane circled the whole thing in just 31 hours.)People who insist that humans can't hurt the earth simply haven't done the math:The earth is only 123 billion acres, with less than 37 billion acres of it above water.33% of that land is desert and about 24% is mountainous.Only 10.6% is considered arable.There are currently 7.91 billion people alive.Ask your climate change denier friend/uncle if they think it's theoretically possible that you could potentially wreck their half an acre of land.I know I could.I could burn it, oil it, salt it, pollute it, poison it. I could wreck it for at least a century, if not a millennia. Now add the machines of industry, the beautiful and brutal efficiency of transnational corporate capitalism, and tell me our collective consumer lifestyle couldn't possibly do the same. It's an impossible thing to deny without a huge dose of delusion.Again, your goal isn't to convince them of anything, just to open the door to the possibility that so many humans on so little a planet could theoretically do so much damage.Then show them the current scale of human impactOnce you've established that the world is comparatively small and that humans could potentially pollute the air and ruin the land, have a short discussion about the current state of human impact on nature.Be sure to mention:Residential built-up (cities, towns, villages, hamlets, neighborhoods, etc)Crop and pasturelandsGrazingOil & gas productionMining & quarryingPower generationRoadsRailwaysPowerlinesElectrical infrastructureLoggingReservoirsThis is the part where you whip out your phone or laptop and pull up Earth Engine and actually show them a map of our current impact on earth.Now get them to imagine what this map might look like if we grow to 10+ billion people and continue to grow our levels of air pollution and land pollution. Ask them how they think this could impact the world in fifty years.(Pro-tip: If they say “technology will save us,” then point out the flaw in their argument — using such a phrase admits there's a pollution problem. If there wasn't a real problem, we wouldn't need tech to save us. Which it won't.)Understand their point of viewAt this point, thank them for listening to your perspective. Let them know you really appreciate that you feel like you've been heard, and acknowledge it must've been hard for them to sit through.Then, having worked together to establish that humans could potentially do real damage to planet Earth, invite them to share their feelings on your perspective.Ask them why they still feel the need to deny global warming and climate change.Specifically, try to understand their fears.Because if there's one thing I've learned about environmental arguments, it's that it's never about the environment.It's always about politics, power, and control.Remember that your goal isn't to convince themWhen was the last time someone convinced you of something you were 100% certain of?Now you understand!This is why every human on earth (myself included) needs to work on empathy, grace, understanding, and healthy communication.Because accepting the truth is hard. And it takes time.So instead of trying to win an argument, just try to win a friendship. Instead of trying to prove global warming to a climate change denier, just aim to plant some thought seeds. If there's any chance for change in their future, those thought seeds will grow.And remember: Nature holds the trump card. Whether you believe in climate change or not, we're all going to get blasted by the negative effects.We might as well get along in the meantime.

It's great to be back! We've had a bit of a break and we're back with a new series talking all about Fertility in the workplace. As well as doing the podcast, Natalie's voiceover work and Kate's consulting; for the last 18 months or so, both Natalie and Kate have been working with organisations to help put fertility in the workplace firmly on their wellbeing agenda. How does the landscape at work look? Kate and Natalie discuss what we've heard from our work and how in light of, how in the last few months, a number of organisations have published fertility and pregnancy loss policies. Over the coming weeks we will be hearing from different organisations who are speaking out about their work to support employees on their paths to parenthood and this new series of the podcast has been created alongside an exciting launch of a brand new training and policy programme from https://www.fertilitymattersatwork.com/ (Fertility Matters at Work) which we'll be talking about in the coming weeks too. We'll be sharing best and worst examples of fertility in the workplace and, as always, sharing your personal experiences, so we want you to get in touch and share yours stories which can you dohttps://www.thefertilitypodcast.com/ ( right here ) 4 Women In the first episode of our new series on Fertility Matters at Work we're absolutely delighted to welcome Channel 4 to the podcast. Navene Alim who is a senior lawyer within the corporate legal team at C4 and Landy Slattery, creative director of All 4, Channel 4's(CH4) on-demand platform. Both are the co-founders and co-chairs of the 4 Women network, and we're talking all about CH4's Pregnancy Loss Policy that was launched in April 2021. When the pregnancy loss policy was launched, CH 4 stated that “The policy which was believed to be the world's first is to support both women and men who have been affected: whether it happens directly to them, their partner or their baby's surrogate mother, regardless of the nature of their loss, and whatever their length of service. It also recognises pregnancy loss as an experience not isolated to women or heterosexual couples.” Why was the policy developed? Following the huge momentum and notoriety that came from CH4's menopause policy the 4 Women network wanted to build on this. After surveying employees to find out the most important issues, pregnancy loss was identified as a huge issue for the workforce. They found that people were struggling in silence and making excuses for needing time off. CH4 were due to air a new series – https://www.channel4.com/programmes/baby-surgeons-delivering-miracles (Baby Surgeons delivery miracle babies) ( quoted incorrectly in the pod ) and they wanted to get a policy in place to hit with the time the series aired. CH4 share how they implement the policy they developed and wanted to ensure that training would be available for managers and colleagues to help them, support employees, appropriately. They are actively trying to find the right solutions to provide the correct support. Their policy is the first step in acknowledging that pregnancy loss is part of a woman's working life. Having the conversations and the educational piece is the first steps in changing organisational culture. Were people worried about being passed over for promotion? These issues did feature as a concern from their focus group of 80 employees who helped inform the policy. As the policy is so new, they are yet to have the opportunity to assess how it has landed within the organisation, however they're finding that other conversations such as childlessness has started to be discussed, which would have never occurred had it not been for the policy. What about Men? Landy and Naveen talk about the importance that the policy doesn't just focus on women, but it is there for men too. Any man at C4, can access the policy and take 2 weeks off without explanation or proof of pregnancy loss. How else do they support their staff, such
