Climate Book Reviews is co-hosted by EvC's own Ed Whittingham and his friend Roger Thompson, Associate Dean and Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Stony Brook University in New York. Each episode highlights some climate related books worth knowing about. This episode is an interview with New Zealand author Kirsten McDougall about her novel, She's a Killer. At times hilarious and at other times troubling, the book is set in the not-too-distant future and features a near genius with sociopathic tendencies facing the realities of her severely climate impacted world.

In this episode, Gil Jenkins sits down with Bill Weir, Chief Climate Correspondent at CNN, for a rich, engaging, and meaningful conversation about his new book, “Life As We Know It (Can Be): Stories of People, Climate, and Hope in a Changing World.”While reporting from every state and every continent, Bill Weir has spent decades telling the stories of unique people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of change. As the first Chief Climate Correspondent in network news, he's immersed in the latest science and breakthroughs on the topic, while often on the frontlines of disasters, natural and manmade. In 2020, Bill began distilling these experiences into a series of Earth Day letters for his then-newborn son to read in 2050, to help him better understand the world he will have grown up in and be better prepared to embrace the future. Bill's work and his letters were the inspiration for “Life As We Know It (Can Be),” which confronts the worry and wonder of climate change with messages and examples of hope for all of us on how a better future can still be written. Highlighting groundbreaking innovation in fields of clean energy, food and water sources, housing and building materials, and more, and touching on how happiness, resilience, and health and wellness factor into the topic of climate change, Bill's stories take readers on a global journey, from one community in Florida that took on a hurricane and never lost power, to the Antarctic Peninsula where one species of penguin is showing us the key to survival, to the nuclear fusion labs where scientists are trying to build a star in a box.  Through a tapestry of stories—tales of resilience, community, and the indomitable human spirit— ‘Life As We Know It (Can Be)' celebrates our planet's marvels, contemplates our collective desires, and calls us all to unite with nature and each other. It's about preparing and planning for the future, together. Links: Book: “LIFE AS WE KNOW IT (CAN BE): Stories of People, Climate, and Hope in a Changing World”Bill Weir's fourth letter on Earth Day to his young son (CNN, April 22, 2024)Bill Weir BioBill Weir on XBill Weir on LinkedInEpisode recorded April 19, 2024 Email your feedback to Chad, Gil, and Hilary at climatepositive@hasi.com or tweet them to @ClimatePosiPod.

Clouds aren't just the harbingers of bad weather. Turns out, they are crucial players in the climate – and so, too, in climate change. In this episode we speak to climate scientist Dr Paulo Ceppi, who contributed to Greta Thunberg's The Climate Book, to learn about how clouds change our world. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2017, Ellie Highwood was trying to think of what to gift a colleague who had a baby on the way.“I thought it would be nice to make them something that was meaningful,” said Highwood, then a professor of climate physics at the University of Reading in England. “So, I thought, OK, well, what can I do with blankets?” Though Ellie Highwood was not the first person to come up with the idea of a "global warming blanket," her tweet about her design went viral. It inspired a former colleague to take it to the next level and create global data visualizations of average temperatures spanning 100 years. Credit: X social media Highwood, who enjoyed crocheting in her free time, came up with what she called the “global warming blanket” as a gift for the baby. She crocheted 100 rows — each representing the year's global temperature, dating back 100 years, from 1916 to 2016.“I did 100 years so, up until the baby was born. And I started with dark blues and purples to represent colder-than-average temperatures,” she said. “And over time, transitioning through some of the greens and yellows into oranges, and then, reds and [a] deep red, burgundy kind of color.”Producing the temperature lines by hand, she said, is a way of internalizing the data. Highwood said she has since seen other scarves and blankets showing similar designs, including some that predated hers. But it was hers that went viral on X. Since then, the stripes, which have been reimagined and incorporated into everything from fashion to book covers, have become synonymous with raising awareness about climate change and global warming. One of Highwood's university colleagues found a way to take her crochet pattern to a whole new level.In 2018, climate scientist Ed Hawkins created a data visualization site of the climate stripes as a series of vertical lines ranging from blue to red, and left to right. Hawkins' visualizations represent temperature changes measured in each country, region or city over the past 100 years, according to his site, ShowYourStripes.info. Users can also create a visualization for the temperatures in their specific locations.  A data visualization of global "warming stripes" from the years 1850 to 2022.

The stripes have also graced the covers of major publications including The Economist and climate activist Greta Thunberg's bestseller, “The Climate Book.” High-level US, France and Chile politicians have even worn the stripes as pins and face masks while pushing climate policies. Joost Brinkman, a co-founder of a Netherlands-based organization called Cycling4Climate, has also used the stripes in marketing materials and uniforms. “The design is pretty beautiful, so it gets attention anyhow,” Brinkman told The World. “And then, when you talk and explain what it's all about, people understand why we're doing this and embrace it.”No matter how far across the globe the climate stripes spread though, Highwood said the original blanket is still with its intended owner.“The baby was given the blanket,” she said. “The baby is now 6-ish. And still has the blanket. It's a little bit small. And I'm pretty sure her mom won't ever let her get rid of it.”

Activists really are at the forefront of turning passion into purpose, and this week we are joined by one of the most well-known climate justice activists on planet earth - Greta Thunberg!Greta brought climate change into mainstream consciousness in a way nobody else has and captured the hearts and minds of a generation anxious about the future of our planet, but it all started with just one girl with a hand-painted sign sat on the ground outside the Swedish Parliament.Greta talks about her life before activism, what led her initially to take action, and how realising that she was not alone in her desire to protect the planet has made her who she is today. Greta is definitely someone who has made the thing she's most passionate about an intrinsic part of her identity, but understandably climate activism weighs heavy sometimes, and so we also learn how she unwinds – spoiler alert, it involves knitting needles and the macarena – and her approach to hope and despair.Greta's latest book The Climate Book is out now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 48: In this episode host Angie Gust talks about parasites. Parasites are all around us, and inhabit our digestive tract through fecal -oral transmission of contaminated food and water as well as other sources. Although experts say that parasites are unavoidable, there are ways we can reduce exposure and build our bodies' resistance towards them, for instance adding fresh ginger, oregano, cloves and thyme to our diets. Turning to the environment, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is getting into the field.  President Biden has ordered federal agencies to assure that underserved communities can actually benefit from the IRA policies. Other good news is that Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, Michael Regan, announced $27 billion in grant funding from the Greenhouse Reduction Fund, part of the IRA. The funds are to finance projects that push forward our transition to renewable energy while addressing systemic injustices still afflicting underserved communities. Let's hope we can stay on the right path to clean and renewable energy for future generations. References Blades, M. Feb 17, 2023.

Greta Thunberg has become a household name – but she doesn't want the attention on her to become a distraction from the severity of the climate crisis. In today's episode, Thunberg speaks with NPR's Ailsa Chang about how she hopes a new collection of essays written by her and more than 100 scientists and journalists – The Climate Book, can become a jumping off point to better understand environmental challenges. She explains why it's crucial for countries like the U.S. to step up and take accountability for their reliance on the fossil fuel industry, and why politicians have a responsibility to underline the relationship between climate and social justice.

Stefanie Posavec is a designer, artist, and author whose practice focuses on finding new, experimental approaches to communicating data and information. This work has been exhibited internationally at major galleries including the V&A, the Design Museum, Somerset House, and the Wellcome Collection (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and MoMA (New York). Her work is also in the permanent collection of MoMA. Besides her new book with Miriam, she has also co-authored two books that emphasise a more personal approach to data: Dear Data and the journal Observe, Collect, Draw! Sonja Kuijpers runs STUDIO TERP, her one-woman data illustration studio based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. She designs (data-)visualisations for a diversity of clients such as Scientific American, Philips, as well as small institutions, companies, and publishers. Recently the Climate Book by Greta Thunberg was published, for which Sonja (re-)designed the graphs. Experimenting with shapes and styles, she also designs her own independent dataviz and data art projects. She received an Information is Beautiful Gold Award in 2019 for her personal project ‘A View on despair'. Creating data visualisation, to Sonja, is trying to locate herself in the data, making sense of numbers with a human approach, showing insights as well as the aesthetics of information and data.

Heute geht es um die Optimismushymne „Zukuft Pink“ von Peter Fox Johanna di Blasi vom RefLab aus der Schweiz hat in einem interessanten Text darauf hingewiesen, dass unser Optimismus-Song fast zeitgleich mit dem „Climate Book“ von Greta Thunberg erschienen ist. Also „Zukunft Pink“ und „Angst vor Zukunftsverlust“ gleichzeitig. Und spannend ist doch, ob wir gerade diese Gleichzeitigkeit als Herausforderung annehmen müssen. Bei Greta Thunberg stehen Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit im Zentrum ihres Lösungsvorschlags. Und Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit – die klingen ja auch bei Peter Fox an, nur kreisen da eben auch die Hüften. Also verbinden wir beides, kritisch bleiben aber den Spaß nicht zu kurz kommen lassen. Auch das Thema kulturelle Aneignung spielt im Podcast eine Rolle. Musik entsteht durch Inspiration, ich höre etwas, es gefällt mir und ich baue das in meine Musik ein. Eigentlich kein Problem – na ja, eben nur eigentlich: Ich denke bedenkenlos unterschiedliche Kulturen miteinander vermixen können wir erst, wenn wir die Kolonialgeschichte richtig aufarbeiten. Die ganze Popkultur lebt ja von der Verschmelzung, der Kombination und der Fusion von Musik, Mode usw. Für Menschen, die aus Kulturen kommen, die jahrhundertelang unterworfen wurden und sich irgendwie auch heute noch an ihren Traumata abkämpfen, ist das Schwierige daran zu erkennen, ob es sich um einen Austausch auf Augenhöhe handelt oder unverschämten Diebstahl, den es eben jahrhundertelang gegeben hat. Etwas verwenden bedeutet dann immer: den Schmerz derer kennt, denen Freiheit, Würde und Kultur für nichts weggenommen wurde und sich dafür einsetzen, dass sich der Diebstahl nicht wiederholt. Wenn sich also Künstlerinnen und Künstler von anderen inspirieren lassen, sollten sie sich darüber Gedanken machen, wie sie mit diesem Schatz aus anderen Kulturen in ihrem Werk umgehen, wie sie dem, was sie sich nehmen Respekt erweisen. Auf Instagram schreibt Peter Fox: „Ich bin stolz, euch den Alliance-Remix zu „Zukunft Pink“ gemeinsam mit dem Präsidenten des südafrikanischen Amapiano, Focalistic, und der feinsten Auswahl weiterer Afro-Künstler*innen, die in Deutschland leben, zu präsentieren. Auf die Tanzfläche, los geht's!!" Darum geht es nämlich zusammen zu Tanzen und Gerechtigkeit für die Menschen – Power To The People! Die Texte werden von Schülerinnen der EGY20A des @bbz_gv gelesen.

And the IPCC, one of our key conclusions to that report was that effectively the human fingerprint on the climate system is now undeniable.

"So a lot of people ask, in my line of work as a climate scientist, 'How do you not just fall into a state of despair and really just see the really dark aspects of human behavior and our inability to correct our course and do the right thing?' And the truth is that we all have to reconcile it in some way. And you can either be really consumed by those darker emotions and that feeling that people don't care. Or you can just try and see beauty where it is and connect with other people who are also doing their very best. So I think this kind of binary thinking of black and white people are good or bad isn't quite right. There's just shades of gray and sometimes people do the best that they can from day to day, but other times we just have to. I guess it's a sense of being stubborn and believing that there is goodness out there."Dr. Joëlle Gergis is an award-winning climate scientist and writer at the Australian National University.

“I guess removing the social license for the continued destruction of our planet has to shift. And this is where these social movements become really inspiring to think about it because it always just takes a small group of really committed people to shift a social norm. And I quote some research in the book, which basically says you only need about 25% of a population to shift a norm, and then the rest of the population goes with those progressive elements. So right now we're in this moment where we're basically saying No More Fossil Fuels. We are cooking the planet. This is what the world's scientific community - that's what we are saying. We're cooking the planet. We must stop. And I guess the challenge here is to get enough people from all over the world, from all different parts of society, not just the scientific community, because we're only just a very, very small fraction people that make up our communities, but we need to mobilize people in a huge way to vote for our politicians at every level. From the local to the federal level who are going to reflect our values around shifting to a sustainable future, and choosing to leave a legacy, which is more one of care and repair rather than just complete destruction.And we owe it to the young people. There's a chapter in my book where I talk about intergenerational damage. I don't think it's fair to leave this burden on the shoulders of young people. We have to take that responsibility here and now for all of us in positions where we do have political power or economic power through the way we consume. We have to do what we can. It's really up to decision-makers and the people in power because they're really doing that to put pressure on our decision-makers. And I guess that's really where the rest of the community can play a role in that. And that's where I think it's quite exciting because that's how all social movements happen.

He really instilled this whole idea that education is the key to a better life, and that it's the great equalizer. So my heritage is from Egypt, so they were not wealthy. When my dad studied at university, he was able to break out of his social background, and it allowed him to move into other areas and create a better life, not just for him but for us.And I think that it was very formative for me because it made me realize that anyone from anywhere can change their life if they're really determined - but it doesn't mean we all have equal access to equal resources. And my dad had to work really, really hard, as have I and many people around the world. It's like, at the end of the day, all you can do is really the best with what you've got. And I guess I've tried to do the best with what I've got and he certainly did his best with what he was able to do in his life.The reason why I became a scientist, to be honest, is because of my deep love for the natural world and living in a country like Australia, which is absolutely extraordinary. You know, we have more unique plants and animals than anywhere on the planet. So more than places like Brazil or Papua New Guinea or Madagascar, these places you think of as being richly biodiverse. Australia actually tops the list, just in terms of the uniqueness of our natural environment. And so growing up in a place like that really infuses into your pores.

Whereas with things like renewable energy, you can put solar panels on your rooftop, and all of a sudden you're not paying anything in terms of an electricity price. If you happen to live in a sunny country like Australia, you end up getting your electricity for free from the sun, which is extraordinary, but actually renewable energy is the cheapest form of electricity over 60% of the Earth's surface, which again is an amazing thing to think about. And yet we haven't tapped the full potential, less than a third of global energy is generated by things like solar and wind, and other renewable energy sources. So there's a really huge potential, but it is that moment where we can transition into a low-impact, sustainable future.So I see that as a really positive thing, but we're in this moment where we're transitioning from an old technology into a new technology. And if you stop and think about history, where we went from people who used to have a horse and cart, and then they went to automobiles. It's the same sort of thing.

"It's unbelievable to stop and think that you've got such heat extending so far into polar regions that even these places are burning in the Arctic. I mean, it's extraordinary. And not just trees but also the permafrost, the frozen soils underneath. These frozen places in the Arctic are also starting to thaw. And when they start to thaw, that releases a lot of methane. Methane is a very, very powerful greenhouse gas. And along with carbon dioxide that really combines to accelerate warming. And so this is the thing. We're witnessing these changes in our lifetime. And to think as well that you have 40-degree temperatures in the United Kingdom. I mean, that's crazy stuff, but it just goes to show that we're really starting to witness serious climate extremes that can no longer be ignored.

I mean, it's extraordinary. And not just trees but also the permafrost, the frozen soils underneath. These frozen places in the Arctic are also starting to thaw. And when they start to thaw, that releases a lot of methane. Methane is a very, very powerful greenhouse gas. And along with carbon dioxide that really combines to accelerate warming. And so this is the thing. We're witnessing these changes in our lifetime. And to think as well that you have 40-degree temperatures in the United Kingdom. I mean, that's crazy stuff, but it just goes to show that we're really starting to witness serious climate extremes that can no longer be ignored. We're really starting to witness serious climate extremes that can no longer be ignored.

"The reason why I became a scientist, to be honest, is because of my deep love for the natural world and living in a country like Australia, which is absolutely extraordinary. You know, we have more unique plants and animals than anywhere on the planet. So more than places like Brazil or Papua New Guinea or Madagascar, these places you think of as being richly biodiverse. Australia actually tops the list, just in terms of the uniqueness of our natural environment. And so growing up in a place like that really infuses into your pores. And so I would go into these beautiful places, whether it be rainforests or the coast, which I love. And then as a young person, I was really drawn into wanting to study science. And so that's why I became a scientist. I guess I move through these landscapes in a slightly different way to say other people who maybe don't have that training, but I guess it's my love of the natural world that really is the fuel for the fire that keeps me going in this area. So I think it's fascinating, for example, that every single year trees can actually put down this growth ring and that is responding to things like temperature and rainfall. So, as long as that tree's been alive and some of these trees can grow up to 2000 years, you can have this really, really long record of climate that extends back beyond the official weather records that generally begin around about 1850 over most of the world. So it's one of these things that I just inherently find science really fascinating and being able to use these different types of records to reconstruct past climate allows us to look at these cycles of natural climate variability and then understand how they're shifting as the planet continues to warm."Dr. Joëlle Gergis is an award-winning climate scientist and writer at the Australian National University.

Sophie Handford reviews The Climate Book created by Greta Thunberg, published by Penguin Random House.

What climate books do you want for Christmas?  Listen in to find out where to start on picking out those stocking fillers. In this special episode, Jo reunites with William McDonnell to discuss their top picks of climate books across all genres, from climate science to politics and economics, covering fiction and non-fiction. Although its light-hearted, there's a deadly serious point: given the urgency of the climate crisis, we need to educate ourselves on the nature of the problem and the solutions at hand. Books offer a wonderful opportunity to learn much more about the challenges we face to build up a holistic view of risks that we value so much at GARP. With so many excellent books out there, we hope this episode offers a guide, whether it's for expanding your own library of climate-related books or simply finding the perfect gift.

In 2001 Margaret Atwood began writing the novel Oryx and Crake. She started from the idea of species extinction, including human extinction. How long have we got? And would we bring about our own demise? The premise of Oryx and Crake was that, since we have the capability to bioengineer a virus capable of wiping out humanity, someone might be tempted to do just that – in order to save everything else. In this imagined future, humans have been replaced with a vegan, peace-loving, self-healing upgrade. Twenty years after the novel was published, Atwood writes, as the climate crisis accelerates, there is a high probability a Crake might appear among us to put us out of our misery. And in the real world, there would be no new replacement. Atwood's novel continues to have relevance, as does a question she is frequently asked: why write dystopias? Why not imagine worlds where there is greater equality, not less? In this essay, she explores the 19th-century boom in literary utopias, from William Morris to Edward Bellamy, and then their 20th-century demise, as “several nightmares that began as utopian social visions” unfolded. As a thought experiment, Atwood imagines what a 21st-century utopia might look like and how it might address the many contradictions of civilisation. Could she write a practical utopia? And would anyone want to read it? Written by Margaret Atwood and read by Amelia Stubberfield.

Greta Thunberg again casts doubt on the United Nations Conference of the Parties process while discussing the coming COP27 meeting in Egypt and her latest publication, "The Climate Book", with Sarah Ferguson, the host of ABC Television's, "7:30 Report". From The Conversation: "This is what Australia needs to bring to Egypt for COP27". The New Daily: "Hard climate truths: Everything you need to know about COP27". And on The Guardian: "Big agriculture warns farming must change or risk ‘destroying the planet'". SBS News: "Australia is heavily reliant on carbon offsets. This is what it needs to bring to Egypt for COP27". Miki Perkins in The Age: "‘Terrible for the climate': Victoria's native logging emissions equivalent to 700,000 cars". Michael West: "A new state power!". And from "The Climate Council". The Age: "Criticism over Albanese's decision not to attend climate talks grows"; "I have spent the year covering floods.

Has anything really changed since COP26? In the year that Russia invaded Ukraine, triggering a global energy crisis, we've also seen the drastic impact climate change is having on our planet: with catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, a megadrought in the US and record-breaking heat waves across Europe.  With COP27 fast approaching; diplomats from across the world will gather once again to try and get global warming under control. Including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak who after saying he'd be a no-show, U-turned to say he would attend after all. But as the global heavyweight gather can we expect real change to take place as a result?  In today's episode of the Fourcast we bring you an extended interview with one of the world's most famous environmental activists, teenager Greta Thunberg. She spoke with Channel 4 News presenter, Jackie Long, about the release of her new book, The Climate Book.  She also talks about COP27 and why she feels hopeful about the fight against climate change. And how, above all else, now is the time not to become complacent in making change happen.  Produced by: Freya Pickford

I'll be honest. I was intimidated by the prospect of this interview. Plus, I never believed it would *actually* happen. I was going to get to speak to arguably the most famous activist on the planet? Yeah, right. As if.But then - it happened! And Greta Thunberg - the founder of the School Strike for Climate movement who has been nominated three times for a Nobel Prize - was an absolute revelation. She is a deeply intelligent and thoughtful 19-year-old: someone who takes issues seriously but never herself. I laughed SO MUCH more than I thought I would during this conversation. And I learned a lot too - about the climate crisis, yes, but also about what drives this extraordinary young woman and what she thinks of 'failure' on a personal and a global level. We talk about her failure to be a 'normal' teenager, her failure to get politicians to act and how she copes with being trolled by Presidents. Plus what she *really* thinks of everyone from King Charles to Emmanuel Macron. And: her love of carrots.Whatever your preconceptions might be, leave them at the door. This episode will blow your mind.--The Climate Book, created by Greta Thunberg, is out tomorrow and available to order here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/446610/the-climate-book-by-thunberg-greta/9780241547472--How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted and produced by Elizabeth Day.

In this special episode of World Review Kate Mossman hosts a conversation between the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and the Icelandic musician Björk Guðmundsdóttir. They have collaborated in the past (on Björk's 2019 Cornucopia tour) but had never met till now – albeit virtually. In a wide-ranging conversation they discuss Thunberg's new anthology The Climate Book, an epic guide to achievable climate action, and Björk's latest album, Fossora (a made-up word meaning “she who digs”), a meditation on the Earth from a “matriarchal” perspective. They also talk about generational differences, the Arctic melt, fame, greenwashing, disappointing politicians, musical influences and how the UK looks from where they are. Hosted on Acast.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has compiled a handbook for tackling the world's interconnected environmental crises, with contributions from leading scientists and writers. Penguin Random House announced Thursday that “The Climate Book” will be published in Britain in October. It contains contributions from more than 100 academics, thinkers and campaigners, including novelists Margaret Atwood and Amitav Ghosh, climate scientist Saleemul Huq and World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The book aims to help readers connect the dots between threats to the climate, environment, sustainability and indigenous populations — among others — and is intended as a guide to understanding and activism. Contributors including Kenyan environmentalist Wanjira Mathai, Brazilian indigenous activist Sonia Guajajara, French economist Thomas Piketty and Canadian journalist Naomi Klein offer “compelling stories of change, action and resilience,” the publisher said, alongside Thunberg's own stories of "learning, demonstrating, and uncovering greenwashing around the world.” “My hope is that this book might be some kind of go-to source for understanding these different, closely interconnected crises,” Thunberg said in a statement. Chloe Currens, editor at Penguin Press, said it was “a unique book, alive with moral purpose, which aims to change the climate conversation forever.” Thunberg began skipping classes once a week to protest climate change in 2018, when she was 15, sparking a series of school walkouts that grew into a global youth movement. Now 19, the Swedish activist has already published a memoir, “Our House Is On Fire” and a collection of speeches, “No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference.” “The Climate Book” will be published Oct. 27 in the U.K. by Allen Lane and in early 2023 in the U.S. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
