America is now on a watchlist for the the health of civil society for “sustained attacks on civic freedoms.” We have to turn this around. Did Trump just confess to his Epstein role? Is he treating "the financially-lubricated sex trafficking of women as mere [employment]?" How does a 16 yr old come to work at a spa at Mar-a-Lago? Will Trump pardon Diddy? Does Trump have a special place in his heart for the trafficking and abuse of young women and girls? Democrats did something important for democracy and the mainstream media ignored it. Or are the Dems not fighting loud enough with their message? Are we now living in the age of "Trump traveling terrorism?" If you don't agree with Trump - it's scary to travel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said on Tuesday the Trump regime would revoke the scientific determination that underpins the government's legal authority to combat climate change. The proposal is Trump's most consequential step yet to derail federal climate efforts and appears to represent a shift toward outright denial of the scientific consensus.

What do the love story of Habagat & Amihan have to do with ants and elephants? Carmina and Patch discuss the mythology of the Philippines' monsoons, how early Filipinos dealt with this phenomenon, and current day views about climate change. They talk about how Tropical Cyclone Haiyan (also known as Yolanda) gained global attention through Yeb Saño's emotional speech at the 19th conference of parties (COP) to the UN in 2013 and his climate justice efforts. They also introduce us to Red Constantino and his impactful essay “How the Ants Move the Elephants in Paris,” which chronicled the developing nations' collective efforts in 2015 to move developed nations towards a more equitable Paris Agreement. Finally, they attempt to inspire hope, and like the ants in Red's essay, call all of us to action.   Learn more: Increased Risk of Diseases Due To Typhoons, Climate Change In Western Pacific, Agri-Losses, NYT: Typhoon in Philippines Casts Long Shadow Over U.N.

Episode Summary: What if climate change isn't primarily about science, but religion?Darrell Harrison, co-author of A Biblical Theology of Climate Change, makes the provocative case that climate alarmism is more than politics or science—it's a full-fledged worldview rooted in modern pantheism. He exposes how this ideology treats Earth as a deity. This deity demands radical sacrifice and drives policies that often harm both people and the very planet they claim to protect.We hope this conversation challenges you to approach environmental concerns not with fear or uncritical submission, but with truth, wisdom, and a biblical framework. Ideas really do have consequences. Understanding the worldviews behind today's most pervasive ideas will give you the clarity and confidence to exchange illusion for reality and respond faithfully to even the most controversial issues. Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Australia's defence outlook and the preparedness of our nation to adequately defend itself is currently under review and worth further discussion.

Jake Spring, Climate and Environment Enterprise Reporter at The Washington Post, discusses his reporting on why the EPA is proposing to rescind a 2009 legal opinion, referred to as the "endangerment finding", which determined that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare, and justified their regulation.

The uncertainty rippling through the energy industry in the first half of 2025 hasn't gone away. Utilities, developers, and manufacturers are still grappling with the fallout from the "One Big Beautiful Bill," the Trump administration's reversal of parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, and the evolving tangle of trade tariffs.Sylvia Leyva Martinez, host and principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie, is joined by her colleague Kelsey Coffman, Vice President of Supply Chain Consulting at Wood Mackenzie, to analyse how clean energy producers and buyers are adapting to the changes.The cost of batteries and solar panels is skyrocketing; tariffs as high as 145% are disrupting billion-dollar projects. How did we get here? And what can be done? Plus, changing definitions of “foreign entities of concern” – the new rules could kill access to tax credits if suppliers have indirect links to China. Sylvia and Kelsey debate the best path through the FEOC minefield. And how big have the risks of project delays and cancelled investments got? There's been an emergence of stockpiling strategies, but even US-based manufacturers aren't safe. If you're in clean energy, finance, procurement, or just trying to make sense of US decarbonisation strategy, Sylvia and Kelsey are here to help you understand what's changing, what's at stake, and what you can do to stay ahead.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Trump administration is trying to overturn the EPA's endangerment finding, which determined that greenhouse gas emissions can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. Lisa Heinzerling, former senior climate policy counsel to the EPA administrator, joins us to discuss what this could mean for the U.S. government's efforts to fight climate change.

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, Working People host and TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez delivered the keynote speech at the national convention of the National Organization of Legal Services Workers (NOLSW), UAW Local 2320. “I am here to report back to you from the front lines of struggle, without hesitation or hyperbole, that we are at risk of losing everything,” Alvarez told the crowd of union members. “And so I am here not to extol the virtues of your union or the value of unions in general, but to ask you bluntly: What good is a union in Hell? How much can an organization of the dawned do in a future no one wants to live in? What good does a collective bargaining agreement serve when the world as we know it is dying?” Additional links/info:  NOLSW-UAW Local 2320 website, X page, Facebook page, and Instagram Featured Music:  Jules Taylor, “Working People” Theme Song Credits:  Audio Post-Production: Jules Taylor 

“There are those individual actions that we can take. But if I can work with my community or work inside of my company, or if I can work inside of my house of worship and we can build some community and some action that way, it will have a much bigger impact than anything that I can do as an individual… The communities that they're already a part of, whether they're residential, like in their neighborhoods, or it's the nonprofits that they're a part of, or the places where they have other kinds of communities like religious communities, and start conversations there. What could we do as a community? What could we do as an organization?” Laur Hesse Fisher on Electric Ladies Podcast It's easy to feel powerless as political forces try to dismantle sustainability-climate-clean energy initiatives, levers and economics, BUT we can make a difference anyway. And it matters. Small steps add up. Impact matters. There are steps each of us can take individually to help avert climate change. How? Listen to Laur Hesse Fisher of MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative and TIL Climate podcast, in this discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson that aired last year and is more relevant than ever. Laur explains how we can leverage the things we do now, the places we already go, and people we currently talk to and make a difference that way.  You'll hear about: Why reaching people outside the climate-tuned bubble is critical. How we can leverage the relationships we already have, the local media, and local events to make a bigger difference than we can make on our own. Why voting is so crucial this year – and not for the reasons you might have heard Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “My advice would be, as you're thinking about where you want to go, talk to people about that. So you might not know where you want to go, in which case I recommend informational interviews. Those are great for learning about other people's career paths, what it took for them to get there, what did they learn along the way? I mean, people are really open to having a half an hour conversation.” Laur Hesse Fisher on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here too.

Giles Stockton is author of the new book, Feeding a Divided America: Reflections of a Western Rancher in the Era of Climate Change, published by University of New Mexico Press. A third generation cattle rancher, he raises beef cattle and sheep on a 5000-acre ranch in Grass Range, Montana. He's also an international agriculture development specialist and an advocate for ranching and farming communities. The new book imparts a lifetime of wisdom and analysis of what happened to our agriculture system, why, and how we can create a system that gives power back to the farmers who are actually growing our food. 3'01 the book is an extension of his op-ed pieces 4'24 multi-generation ranch background 6'30 raises cattle and sheep, as well as hay 7'14 how Western ranching improves the land 7'46 overgrazing damaged the land; it developed from the collapse of homesteading 9'47 ranching the only sustainable model of large scale agriculture in the US 10'48 the decline of his town early 20th century, and the decline of farms in general 11'57 overproduction led first to subsidies, then to the elimination of small farms 13'37 200,000 farms produce 80% of our food. The rest are trying to survive in an industrial agriculture economic model that doesn't really want them 14'48 how megafarms came into being in the 1980s–the decision not to enforce antitrust laws, leading to monopolies/cartels 16'57 the problem of externalities 18'11 the difference between competitive capitalism (free enterprise where buyer and seller have equal power) and cartel capitalism–which is more like old-style communism 20'33 cartels can raise prices indiscriminately 21'14 not enough slaughterhouses–system is too centralized 21'52 agriculture has never had a golden age–it's always been difficult 22'48 farmer gets 15.9¢ out of consumer dollar 23'22 the system steals from the farmer and farm labor 24'25 the “illusion of economies of scale” 24'45 smaller farmers are better farmers 25'20 the role of the farmer has been squeezed out in the name of “efficiency”…then there's no advocate for the land and animals 26'24 what's lost when you don't have the farmer on the ground…the land, the workers, the animals 27'20 corporate boards instead of farmers are making decisions about things they know nothing about 28'23 why monocrops systems are so un-resilient, especially during climate instability 29'39 the problem of the super wealthy buying farm land–looks like colonialism 30'11 the wealthy neighbors don't understand how their elk sanctuary affects their ranching neighbors 32'02 rural people hate environmentalists more than they hate the corporations that are ruining them 32'36 the sense that their vote doesn't count 33'32 “they don't ask our opinion” 35'16 policy for the last 50 years has been anti-rural. Rural voters vote red, but they don't do anything for rural people. But blue doesn't either. 36'15 climate change is making things existential 36'46 there's a movement for anti-trust enforcement, which is encouraging 37'54 we need to decentralize in order to have a healthier food system — what that could look like 38'35 about 1/3 of food in France is sold locally, unlike the US where it's more like 3% 39'16 the US imports more food than it exports. So much for “feed the world” 39'47 the need for auction markets for all food commodities (instead of contract work) 40'46 we don't need new anti-trust laws, just enforcement of the existing ones 43'04 Citizens United decision of 2010 was a huge gain for the wealthy and corporate power 44'15 revitalizing rural communities = revitalizing democracy 45'05 the importance of being organized around an idea and staying with it 47'04 the local foods movement is extremely important. But it's very libertarian in its politics, which means that they don't deal with the globalized competition, they just do their own thing and stay a part of the 3% of local food 48'33 the Farm Bill isn't so much a farm bill as an ag business bill. The orgs doing good work need to organize with each other more 49'42 what gives him hope 50'35 what happens after Gilles, what is the plan for the next generation

with Brad Friedman & Desi Doyen

Frank Lavin talks with Olaf Groth, the author of “The Great Remobilization” and discusses the six major trends that will drive decisions in our personal lives, government policies, and business decision-making: 1. Covid and CRISPR; 2. Cognitive Technologies; 3. Crypto and distributed power; 4. Cyber security; 5. Climate Change; 6. China. Olaf moves on to discuss how corporations and governments should respond to meet – and perhaps even benefit from – these challenges. Olaf also suggests reading Ezra Klein's “Abundance” and the work of our previous guest, “Apple in China” by Patrick McGee.

A study out of Otago University has found a mass switch from petrol-powered to electric vehicles will result in more road injuries. Climate change correspondent Eloise Gibson reports.

Wild rhetoric from a UN climate czar, who says Australia must go faster on net zero or cripple our food production. Meanwhile, Australia is desperate to host a giant UN climate conference.

Air Date: 7-27-2025 Back when I worked in the climate movement, just after the turn of the century, we knew that the extreme weather we were warning about would become ever-more clear to see in people's lived experiences and assumed that any doubts people had about the science of climate change would be wiped away with the evidence they could see with their own eyes as weather became more intense and less predictable. Of course, we didn't foreseen that we were headed straight into the eye of a storm of partisan conspiracism that would fully take over a third of the political spectrum.

This episode is my third interview with Dr. Laura Lengnick about her book, Resilient Agriculture. In my blogspot for the second interview, at the request of Dr. Lengnick, I clarified that the discussion in the second interview was recorded in June of 2024 before the impact of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina toward the end of September, 2024, and was not a response to that event. However, Dr. Lengnick agreed that at a time which allowed for recovery and healing, some reflection about Resilient Agriculture in light of the event of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina was important and appropriate. Particularly important for that reflection includes Dr. Lengnick's understanding of the concept of "bouncing forward" rather than "bouncing back" or "building back better." That time, nearly one year after the Hurricane Helene event, has come. So I welcome back Dr. Laura Lengnick. Dr. Lengnick is the author of Resilient Agriculture: Cultivating Foods Systems for a Changing Climate. This book will be the basis for these interviews. Laura is the founder and principal of Cultivating Resilience which works with organizations of all kinds to integrate resilience thinking into assessment, operations and strategic planning. Trained as a soil scientist, Laura has 30 years of experience as a researcher, policymaker, educator, activist, and farmer. She has broad federal policy expertise gained through work as a U.S. Senate staffer, a USDA-ARS researcher, and a lobbyist advocating for sustainable agriculture in the U.S. Congress and was a lead author of the 2013 United States Department of Agriculture's report, Climate Change and Agriculture in the United States: Effects and Adaptation. You can learn more about Cultivating Resilience and Laura here: cultivatingresilience.com In this interview a reference was made to effort called Regenerative Agriculture. Dr. Lengnick sees that effort as providing tools for Resilient Agriculture, but believes that that the work she and others are doing with Resilient Agriculture goes beyond Regenerative Agriculture. You can learn more about Regenerative Agriculture here: commonground.org kissthegroundmovie.com The intro and outro music for this episode is from a clip of a song called ‘Father Let Your Kingdom Come' which is found on The Porter's Gate Worship Project Work Songs album and is used by permission by The Porter's Gate Worship Project.

One of the toughest things about trying to understand climate change – arguably the most important story of our time — is wrapping our minds around it. To even imagine something so enormous, so life-changing, we need a story. Some characters, a metaphor, and even some lessons learned. For that, we turn to the novelists and journalists telling the story of climate change – as we – and our children – live it.Original Air Date: August 14, 2021Interviews In This Hour: The Climate Change Stories We Need To Hear — The Climate Crisis Gets Biblical — Lidia Yuknavitch's Dream World: How Dreams Shaped Her Dazzling Speculative Novel — A Climate Dystopia Of Cold, Concrete, Wind and a WallGuests: Alice Bell, Lydia Millet, Lidia Yuknavitch, John LanchesterNever want to miss an episode?

Will the world look away as Gazans are being starved to death and driven out of Gaza? Is the plan for Gaza to become part of Israel? Is that the position of the Trump administration? Given that Trump is quickly moving America toward autocracy, it shouldn't be surprising that he himself displays the so-called Dark Triad of personality characteristics that are so easily observed in historical figures like Hitler, Pinochet, Mussolini, and modern-day autocrats like Putin, Orbán, and Erdoğon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Carl Sagan wasn't a prophet, just a brilliant scientist who saw the writing on the wall decades ago. This episode unpacks his chillingly accurate predictions about America's descent into misinformation, scientific illiteracy, and a society where critical thinking is abandoned for superstition. We dive deep into how his warnings about issues like climate change were tragically ignored, highlighting the dangers of prioritizing profit over people and the urgent need for a return to reason. It's a stark reminder of the uphill battle against denial, and why teaching skepticism to future generations is our only hope against unchecked power and climate catastrophe. Time to forge a new future with compassion, courage, and empirical evidence!News Source: Carl Sagan predicted present state of USA almost 26 years ago: Visionary scientist By Vani Khokar for Scoop Upworthy July 7, 2025

The New Yorker contributor Jon Allsop joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss how President Trump's refusal to release the Epstein files has fractured his base, and how the Democratic Party has increasingly weaponized the Epstein conspiracy theory in its attempt to combat the MAGA movement.
