What does feel like to live helplessly in a world that is coming undone? If you're alive in 2025, you are probably very familiar with this feeling - and if you'd been alive in the age of Victorian literature, you might have felt that way too. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Nathan K. Hensley about his book Action without Hope: Victorian Literature after Climate Collapse, which studies how authors like George Eliot, Emily Brontë, H.G. Wells, Lewis Carroll, and Christina Rossetti used aesthetic strategies to deal with the anxiety and despair of ongoing climate disaster. What did they face? How did they cope? And can we learn from their examples? PLUS Jacke dives into some news from Italian museums, where people have been "losing their brains." What's going on with them? AND two Dickens experts, Stephen Browning and Simon Thomas, co-authors of The Real Charles Dickens, stop by to discuss their choice for the last book will they ever read. Will they choose something by Dickens? Note: The "My Last Book" conversation in this episode was recorded before the untimely passing of Stephen Browning. He was a wonderful guest, and we at the History of Literature Podcast are very grateful to have had the chance to speak with him. Our deepest sympathies are with his friends, family, and loved ones. May he rest in peace. Special Announcement: The History of Literature Podcast Tour is happening in May 2026!

US President Donald Trump has threatened heavy tariffs on BRICS, claiming the organization is "dead", but it is actually growing in size and influence. 10 members and 10 partners participated in the 2025 BRICS summit in Brazil, where they discussed plans for dedollarization, trade and investment in national currencies, and how to create a more multipolar global order. Ben Norton explains.

Andy Beshear, the governor of Kentucky, joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the damage that President Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” will cause in rural America. Beshear paints a picture of how Democrats can win back voters without compromising on issues such as abortion or trans rights, what the party can learn from Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral primary, and the importance of communicating with the public using everyday language.

Climate change is a lot of things: big, scary, scientifically-accurate. And as we just saw in Texas, it's not just a matter of principles or talking points. It's causing tragedies in our own country and around the globe.In the face of such an overwhelming issue, it can be hard to know what we as individuals can do. Of course we can donate to environmental causes and vote for leaders who prioritize climate policy, but there's something else that's as close to home as our own backyard. Gardening!By expanding our backyard gardens to include plants for native pollinators, we can make a difference in our own local ecosystem. Bees and butterflies are some of the most common pollinators, but hummingbirds, moths, beetles, and even bats can also be part of the process. Unfortunately, many parts of the world have been seeing declines in pollinator populations. A 2017 report done for the Center of Biological Diversity found that nearly 1 in 4 species of native bees are now at risk of extinction. Monarch butterflies, meanwhile, have declined more than 80% in the last 30 years.And that's a big deal! At least 75% of all flowering plants on Earth are pollinated by insects and animals, including almost all of the food we eat. In fact, farmers estimate that pollinators are responsible for 1 out of 3 bites of food we take every day.And yet, the Trump administration seems intent on making the situation worse. Since the start of Trump's second term, his administration has fired hundreds of climate and weather scientists. He wants to start drilling for oil on pristine lands full of native plants and animals and roll back protections for migratory birds. And he wants logging companies to be able to cut down some of our National Forests. He even named a lobbyist for the logging industry, Tom Schultz, as the new head of the U.S. Forest Service.There's no denying that this all feels overwhelming. But “think global, act local” doesn't only apply to your community's school board or city council. You can make a difference just by planting more native species that are good for pollinators. Not only are the beauty and fresh air good for your mental health, you'll be directly improving the environment in your area.And that is why your garden matters!For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

At the start of the year, I made seven predictions about how 2025 would unfold. Six months in, it's time to mark my own work. From AI capability breakthroughs to autonomous vehicles, climate extremes to workforce transformation, I examine what I got right, what I missed, and why the 2027-2028 period will be when vertical AI hits the real economy in force.In this episode you'll hear:The AI wall that never came: Ten-million-token models exist, O3 scores 25% on Frontier Math vs GPT-4's 2%, but some models are inconsistent and overthink problemsWhen bots officially out-talk humans: My modeling shows LLMs crossed the threshold of producing more text than humans sometime this summerThe Waymo vs Uber SF battle: They've beaten Lyft and expanded to New York, but Tesla's Austin robo-taxi fleet changes the competitive landscapeClimate and energy predictions that were "too easy": Record climate extremes, 30% solar growth, and Indonesia's stunning EV jump from 20% to 80% in two yearsWhat I completely missed: The AI capex boom, humanoid robots at Figure/BMW/Amazon, and workforce impact with CEOs reporting 20-50% AI assistanceWhy getting too many predictions right is a problem: I reflect on whether scoring too well means I didn't push boundaries enough in my forecastingThe 2027-2028 turbulence ahead: Why four-year-old AI startups challenging incumbents while early adopters reap deep organizational benefits will create economic turbulenceOur new showThis was originally recorded for “Friday with Azeem Azhar”, a new show that takes place every Friday at 9am PT and 12pm ET.

The real conspiracy is that modern conspiracy theory is nothing more than the infiltration of the mind, a gaslighting operation, a dis and mis information campaign. After massive flooding in Texas, strange storms over Lake Tahoe, floods in Pakistan, and even in Dubai a year previous, the discussions of weather always become divided between two groups: weather does not exist because of government control programs or all weather is climate change. People try to convince you that geoengineering is the same as altering your home's temperature with an AC, but only after denying its existence. Deny until acknowledgment, then take control of the narrative when the truth comes out. Many have claimed Peter Thiel owns a company called Rainmaker, which was cloud seeding in parts of Texas that recently flooded. But that is not true; Thiel's fellowship only gave that company's CEO Augustus Doricko $100,000, something he has done for other companies. Countless articles and social media accounts share the former without noting the latter. Doricko has also been highly vocal about cloud seeding, but only to deny his company could produce such large quantities of rain while the UAE is leading the world in such things.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, in an interview for the Mayor's Desk series, details work on housing affordability, homelessness, and other growing pains amid the city's increasing popularity. Solutions include reducing building costs, incentivizing new construction, and taking better advantage of the metro region's extensive light rail network for transit-oriented development.
During the 4th of July weekend, devastating flash floods caused by unprecedented rainfall in central Texas claimed numerous lives, with many still missing. Meanwhile, a wildfire in central California has increased in scope and has become the largest one in the state this year, surpassing the devastating blazes that ravaged the Los Angeles metropolitan area earlier this year. From frequent news stories and advertisements, to apocalyptic TV storylines and government announcements, the message about the impending climate catastrophe is almost relentless, as current greenwashed policies are being sold by tugging at the emotional heartstrings of the public. "Climate instability” is really geoengineering, and extended into weaponizing the weather. In other words, a crime against humanity. Listen tonight on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis and Dane Wigington, founder of geoengineeringwatch.org. It's from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

Zack Colman, Climate and energy reporter for POLITICO, reports on new analyses that show the Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill Act will raise greenhouse gas emissions and scale back U.S. climate goals.
Last week's massive spending and tax bill, named the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act,” was signed into law by President Trump. It includes major cuts to clean energy incentives, pushed forward by the Biden Administration's signature climate law, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The new law is a huge setback against cutting emissions and transitioning to clean energy. “How We Survive” host Amy Scott talks with Shannon Osaka, climate zeitgeist reporter at The Washington Post, to find out how this will impact the climate crisis and how consumers can take advantage of clean energy tax credits while they're still around.

This week, we talk solar power—a long overdue topic on Decouple. In the past, guests have often been critical of the value of renewables on grids without extensive storage, and of the quality of jobs that politicians often claim when justifying renewables programs. Today, however, we drop preconceptions and get to the nuts and bolts. My guest is Seaver Wang, director of the Climate and Energy Research Program at The Breakthrough Institute. Despite is imperfections, the solar power has a remarkable story, from its technological origins, to its dramatic cost reductions in the last decade, to the sheer scale of new capacity being added in places like China. We cover these topics and more in this episode: the Solar Masterclass.Watch now on YouTube.We talk aboutHistorical roots and evolution of solar technologyImpact of the German Energiewende and feed-in tariffsChina's rise to dominance in solar manufacturingEnergy-intensive production processes of polysiliconControversy over Uyghur forced labor in XinjiangSolar's lifecycle emissions and environmental impactsDramatic cost reductions and economies of scaleLimitations and misconceptions in distributed solarFuture integration with battery storageRole of geopolitical and ethical issues in solar supply chains
Over the past few years, we've had the privilege of sitting down with visionaries, scientists, designers, farmers, poets, and policymakers. Each conversation has expanded our perspective, encouraging us to see the world through a broader, greener lens.For our 100th episode, we're hitting pause to reflect on this amazing journey so far. We've sifted through the highlights to spotlight the themes and ideas that continue to rise to the surface – insights that feel less like podcast takeaways and more like a blueprint for a saner, more biophilic future.Tune in to learn more and hear from some familiar voices along the way.Show NotesSister Seasons | Regenerate Yourself and the Planet at the Same TimePlanetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves edited by Samuel Myers and Howard FrumkinLocal FuturesPositive Tipping Points (University of Exeter)The Climate Optimist Handbook: How to Shift the Narrative on Climate Change and Find the Courage to Change by Anne Therese Gennari Prioritizing Human Wellness in Architectural Design (Living Architecture Monitor)Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America One Step at a Time by Jeff SpeckNina-Marie ListerTeam Human by Douglas RushkoffThe Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative by Florence WilliamsKeywords: nature, nature based solutions, biophilia, biophilic design, seasons, seasonality, natural cycles, wellness, climate, climate change, climate solutions, architecture, built environment, habitat, human habitat, walkability, walkable, biodiversity, pollinator, pollinator garden, community Biophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

A conversation with Anat Shenker-Osorio, founder of A.S.O. Communications, a progressive political communication bureau known for slogans such as “Don't take the temperature, change it” and “A great message doesn't say what's already popular; a great message makes popular what needs to be said".We try so hard in the regenerative (and probably any other progressive) space to work on our messaging, how to communicate, how to reach people inside our bubble and beyond. We try to speak to those within the agrochemical and food industry, to make them see how environmentally sound, healthy, and economically interesting a different food and agriculture system could be. But somehow, we haven't gotten very far. We're constantly out-lobbied and outsmarted by the very well-organised extractive ag industry. (No, this isn't an evil conspiracy, but it is definitely well-organised.)With Anat we dive deep into the world of effective campaigning, messaging, and communication. Because we're always going to be up against a much higher budget, but let's at least use the airspace we do have as effectively as possible.But we've got news for you: most people don't want to join the losing team. So, stop communicating like we've already lost. Start getting people to join the small but winning team. Don't deny reality and never lie. But do understand what makes people listen, and more importantly, what makes them take action: consume differently, protest, organise, vote (if you can).Because in the end, this is all about who has the power.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Community of Christ's 2025 World Conference passed the G-10 resolution, entitled “Earth Stewardship Affirmation.” While some question the need for such a resolution, there is no doubt that the call for accountability was heard and supported. The question remains whether or not the “support” will manifest itself in necessary action. Join host, Susan Oxley, as she sits down with Rick Bunch, chair of Community of Christ's World Church Earth Stewardship Team and lifelong contributor to natural resource management, to talk about why the time for hesitation is past and the time for action is now!

Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, second only to water. It comes in many varieties: black, green, white, oolong, and herbal. Tea is celebrated for its health benefits, from antioxidants to its calming effects, and it continues to play a major role in global culture and commerce. In recent decades, tea has experienced a revival in interest, with a growing market for specialty teas, such as artisanal blends, organic teas, and matcha. The modern-day global tea market is vast, and tea continues to evolve as both a daily beverage and a symbol of tradition, health, and innovation. It can solve 3 key problems, particularly in the Himalayas: Urban migration - young folks are moving to megacities in search of work which fragments the family and drives unsustainable urban growth Land degradation - abandoned farmland due to the fragmented family deteriorates into unusable dirt Climate change - increased droughts and floods trigger catastrophic landslides Tea is one clear solution: Tea creates rural jobs and reverses urban migration Tea revitalizes wasted farmland and is an anchor crop for biodiversity Tea leaves drink CO2 which gets stored in their roots and removed from the atmosphere Tea is a gender economic equalizer - And the outcome of what my guest has started is aligned with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Their Vision is to create a sustainable future for Himalayan farmers and their families. Their Mission is to partner with Himalayan communities to raise the quality of their tea, so farmers can earn more and raise the quality of their lives. Young Mountain Tea partners with farmers in North India to get a new factory up and running. Tea farmers, 90% being women, will launch their region's first community-owned tea factory. This factory will be a blueprint for a model of sustainable change in the tea industry, eventually throughout the Himalayas and the world. Building A Sustainable Future For Himalayan Farmers And Their Families is truly a social enterprise. For more information, go to: www.youngmountaintea.com

This week, Emily is going off the radar back to 1863! She'll be talking to Dr. Jon Nese, an Associate Head of Penn State University's Program in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science. Dr. Nese isn't just a meteorologist; he's also studied and written about how weather influenced the American Civil War! We'll explore how different weather elements affected everything about the Gettysburg campaign, discover the surprising place where Dr. Nese found the meteorological evidence that brings this story to life, and discuss why his deep dive into 160-year-old weather records serves as a powerful reminder of just how critical reliable weather observation is in our modern world.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special daily special, Tarrytown Chowder Tuesday is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, it was a sight to behold Fox News panicking on live tv over Trump's major failures, and trying to desperately flip the script.Then, on the rest of the menu, Trump is opening new coal sales from public lands in Montana and Wyoming; a Georgia appeals court upheld a ruling that election officials must certify results according to deadlines set in law; and, ICE Barbie Kristi Noem shrugged off oversight as detainee deaths surge.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where a British jury convicted three men of an arson attack organized by Russian intelligence; and, Trump's director of personnel, Sergio Gor, was born in the Soviet Union and secretly visited Moscow just last year.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.” -- Ernest Hemingway "A Moveable Feast"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
Zee Cohen-Sanchez, a Bernie Sanders campaign veteran, launched “Un**** America” (we're going with Unfudge America) to counter Charlie Kirk's influence on college campuses. But internal drama and performative purity politics quickly sabotaged the project. She recounts how influencer apologies empowered whiny critics and fractured the left's ability to wield electoral power. Plus, with nearly 100 dead from the Texas floods, we examine the explanations. Climate change likely played a role, but history, geography, and neglected hydrology account for just as much—and the reflexive invocation of climate alone can obscure other actionable causes.

Climate grifter Jay Inslee immediately politicizes the Texas flooding tragedy. Governor Ferguson joins him in the land of shameless leaders. Media spins sob story about convicted killer who got deported to Sudan. Portland riots outside ICE facility reach one-month mark. Elon launches “America Party.”
What comes to mind when we think about the Sahara? Rippling sand dunes, sun-blasted expanses, camel drivers and their caravans perhaps. Or famine, climate change, civil war, desperate migrants stuck in a hostile environment. The Sahara stretches across 3.2 million square miles, hosting several million inhabitants and a corresponding variety of languages, cultures, and livelihoods. But beyond ready-made images of exoticism and squalor, we know surprisingly little about its history and the people who call it home. Shifting Sands is about that other Sahara, not the empty wasteland of the romantic imagination but the vast and highly differentiated space in which Saharan peoples and, increasingly, new arrivals from other parts of Africa live, work, and move. It takes us from the ancient Roman Empire through the bloody colonial era to the geopolitics of the present, questioning easy clichés and exposing fascinating truths along the way. From the geology of the region to the religions, languages, and cultural and political forces that shape and fracture it, this landmark book tells the compelling story of a place that sits at the heart of our world, and whose future holds implications for us all. Judith Scheele is a social anthropologist with a special interest in the Sahara and neighbouring areas. She has carried out long-term fieldwork in Algeria, Mali and Chad. Her research focuses on exchange, mobility, and local and regional interdependence, with the aim of developing a comparative framework that would allow us to analyse the Sahara as a region, in drawing on its own ethnographic and historical categories. Sidney Michelini is a post-doctoral researcher working on Ecology, Climate, and Violence at the Peace Research Institute of Frankfurt (PRIF).

What do you do when a successful tech career leaves you feeling like an empty shell? For Francois Burra, the answer was to look inward and transform his life—and help transform an industry. Lou Rosenfeld talks with Francois, a UX designer turned digital decarbonization consultant, about how a personal crisis led him to channel his “infinite energy” into tackling the tech industry's overlooked climate impact. Francois shares how he co-founded Climate Product Leaders and co-authored Sustainable by Design: A Playbook for Product Managers—a free, practical guide brimming with best practices and real-world case studies for weaving sustainability into everyday product and design work. They explore how sustainability intersects with design, product management, and hot topics like AI, highlighting how even small steps can create meaningful change. Francois also offers candid reflections on career pivots, mental health, and finding purpose-driven work that feeds both your soul and the planet.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, River City Hash Mondays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Fox issued an apology in anticipation of a defamation suit by Kilmar Abrego Garcia.Then, on the rest of the menu, the anti-climate change MAGA candidate who claimed no one was killed in the Texas 'fake flood,' ramped up a $175M Texas 'land grab' conspiracy; the guy who said he only wants little Jews wearing yarmulkes counting his casino money, claims he never knew ‘shylock' is an antisemitic term; and, the quick action by one Texas summer camp lead to timely evacuations ahead of the deadly flash flood no one was warned about.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where China retaliated against the EU with a ban on European medical devices; and, China used embassies to undermine the sales of France's flagship Rafale fighter jet.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!"I was never a spy.

Michael is Director of the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC), Founding Director of the University's Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth, and Milton Friedman Distinguished Service Professor in Economics.

To mark the show's anniversary, we ask what Canada has learned about tackling climate change since our debut in 2020, starting with lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic. And, we discuss what climate action could look like over the next five years.
19-year-old Eva Lighthiser has experienced climate anxiety for most of her life, as her home state of Montana faces worsening floods, wildfires, and extreme heat. Now she and 20 other young people are suing the Trump administration over its efforts to boost fossil fuels while suppressing climate science and renewable energy. Also, ten years since nations adopted the historic Paris Agreement, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, and hopes are dimming that we can meet the Paris goal of limiting global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius. As global leaders prepare to meet in Brazil for COP30, with recent preliminary sessions in Bonn, Germany, some say the entire UN climate agreement system is broken. And in a rare act of public criticism, hundreds of EPA employees published a declaration of dissent from the agency's policies under the Trump administration, calling out its alleged ignoring of scientific consensus to benefit polluters, undermining of public trust and more.

In a world-first, the International Court of Justice is preparing to deliver an advisory opinion on climate change and human rights - all thanks to a youth-led campaign that began thousands of miles from The Hague, in the Pacific Islands.This week, we look inside that extraordinary campaign, and hear the story of Cynthia Houniuhi, who - as a young law student from the Solomon Islands - helped launch the movement that would ultimately unite over 130 countries behind a single goal. Now, six years after this idea began in a law classroom, the world's highest court is set to weigh in on the responsibility of states to protect current and future generations from climate harm.Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac, and Paul Dickinson reflect on the power of legal activism, the role of youth leadership, and what this landmark case could mean for the future of international climate law.Learn more ⚖️ Read more information about the ICJ climate case on the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change website
