Send us a textPeter Kalmus, climate scientist and returning friend of Crazy Town, used to live in Altadena, California, where one of the disastrous Los Angeles wildfires struck on January 7th. Having learned that his former house had burned, Peter penned an emotional article for the New York Times about his family's decision to leave LA two years prior, out of safety concerns about frequent heat waves, drought, and just the sort of tragic conflagration that has reduced parts of LA to ashes. Get Peter's take on this historic wildfire, what nature is trying to teach us, and how to think about unnatural disasters now and in the future.

But it's clear now, if it wasn't already then, that Biden would to fail to meet the moment. Biden's climate platform was insufficient to begin with, but the winnowed version that's made it into the infrastructure bills leaves even more to be desired. Brie asks this week's guests, Eric Holthaus, meteorologist, journalist, author of The Future Earth, and Peter Kalmus, NASA technical scientist & author of Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution, to measure the implications of the new IPCC report against Biden's infrastructure plans and answer the question: Is it time for doom and gloom or for things to go boom-- as in non violent sabotage against dirty energy infrastructure? Is eco-pessimism a natural outgrowth of the climate crisis or is it caused by the failure of activists to connect climate consequences to political actors and hold them accountable? And why are so few scientists willing to call out meager climate budgets as a form of climate denialism? Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.

 This is the second and final segment of the discussion with Peter Kalmus NASA scientist and climate activist. Peter is also an astrophysicist, writer, and climate activist. He has co authored the award winning book, "Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution", founded the website noflyclimatesci.org, co-founded the app Earth Hero: Climate Change and cofounded the ClimateAd project.

  This is part 1 of a two part show.Peter Kalmus is a NASA scientist ans climate activist who has achieved amazing things in the climate space in a short space of time.Not only is he an American climate scientist, astrophysicist, writer, and climate activist he has co authored the award winning book, "Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution", founded the website noflyclimatesci.org and co-founded the app Earth Hero: Climate Change. As well he has started the ClimateAd project to raise awareness about climate change.

Peter Kalmus is a climate scientist at NASAs Jet propulsion Lab where he uses 
satellite data and models to study the rapidly changing Earth, focusing on boundary layer clouds and ecological forecasting. 
He has a PhD in physics from Columbia University and a BA in physics from Harvard. His award-winning book, Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution gives real life solutions to move away from a consumerist lifestyle that isn’t even making us happy. Peter is also the founder of Climate AD, a group of people fighting for a better future, who found each other on Twitter and decided to work together in their spare time to create compelling mainstream ads to wake the international public up to the urgency of climate emergency. I met Peter on Zoom just a few days before the US Election.
 We talked about why he quit his job as an astrophysicist to become a climate scientist and activist, and completely changed his life style and why it is so important to live as you preach, to gain credibility. He explained why the soft deniers are just as dangerous as the hard deniers and why we need a super strong grass root climate movement and bring the soft deniers into it.

Today You've Been Warmed episode features Peter Kalmus - a NASA climate scientist very well-known for his activism, particularly in the way he completely changed his lifestyle to drastically reduce his individual emissions (and those of his family).Peter is very outspoken about the need to act on climate change with urgency and I wanted to get his take on solutions both from his standpoint as a scientist, but also as a human being. It's not a coincidence that his Twitter handle is @ClimateHuman.We approached the topic of 2 degrees warming and what that would mean for our world, particularly the way in which he frames the discussion for himself starting from the unknown unknowns when it comes to tipping points and other consequences of warming. We spoke about individual changes and their importance, how we can remove more CO2 from the atmosphere and why climate change is the "perfect" problem for mankind.Finally we dove into the Green New Deal, why he supports this initiative and why this election cycle is extremely important in shaping our fight to preserve the planet.PETER'S RELEVANT LINKSPeter's Twitter - https://twitter.com/ClimateHumanEarth Hero App - https://www.earthhero.org/'Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution' Book - https://peterkalmus.net/books/read-by-chapter-being-the-change/TIMECODES (to be changed)3:02 - Peter's Background & Working At NASA9:21 - What 2°C Warming Means For The Planet13:33 - Individual Action & Climate Change18:28 - Removing CO2 From The Atmosphere29:49 - Electric Planes & Electricity Usage33:40 - The Case For A Green New Deal46:38 - A Final Message For ListenersLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEJim Hansen - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_HansenHeartland Institute - https://www.heartland.org/Ben Gerhold - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamingerhold/

Peter Kalmus is one of a kind. After hearing about the impact of Global Warming during his studies he decided to switch to a direction that involves environmental studies. He had to do something to channel his worries. Not only is he now working as a Climate Scientist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory but he also has written a book about the matter - Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution. You can find out on his website: https://peterkalmus.net/ There he shares his research, his projects and everything what he is working on. Which is a lot. He has an app: Earth Hero: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earth-hero-end-climate-change/id1458057746 He has an anti-flying campaign for scientists: https://noflyclimatesci.org/ So taking a look at his resources makes sense ;)

From the Personal Carbon Footprint to a Green New Deal Massive climate disruption continues to strike all over the world, one disaster after another, droughts, wildfires, typhoons, mega-floods, with glaciers melting and methane escaping from deep under the permafrost. The UN IPCC said we have 12 more years to stabilize greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere to avoid runaway climate change. We need solutions to this problem to spark a climate revolution. Jessica Aldridge speaks with NASA climate scientist and author Peter Kalmus and Sam Berndt also a scientist and a coordinator of the Sunrise Movement Los Angeles. Peter Kalmus is author of the book 'Being the Change: Live Well and Spark A Climate Revolution'. He is a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and he is speaking on his own behalf. Peter's main research interests are cloud physics and ecological forecasting. He's the recipient of NASA's Early Career Achievement medal and he makes an effort to avoid burning fossil fuel, in order to shift the culture and pave the way for policy-level change. He lives on about a tenth the fossil fuel of the average American, and he enjoys it!

Sophy and Kelly speak with Peter Kalmus, climate scientist and author of Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution, about the individual actions that people can take to conspicuously reduce their own use of fossil fuel so that others take notice, and so that governments will start introducing carbon fees (not carbon taxes).
