The intersection of environmental and health endeavors is epitomized by two significant initiatives: The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change Report and COP28. The Lancet Countdown serves as a vital analysis, comparable to the championship of Health and Climate Change impact assessments. It meticulously connects the dots between health and climate, providing evidence-based science crucial for understanding the consequences of climate change on your health. Recognizing the interdependence of human health and the planet, this report serves as an indispensable guide for individuals navigating the era of climate change. COP28, the recent climate summit in Dubai, stands as a beacon of global collaboration to address the climate crisis. Leaders worldwide gathered to strategize on cleaner energy sources, combat air pollution, and support vulnerable nations grappling with climate challenges. Understanding these initiatives is crucial for individuals navigating the complexities of daily life amidst climate change repercussions. The Lancet Countdown informs about the health impacts, urging individuals to recognize the tangible effects already happening. COP28, on the other hand, symbolizes global unity and commitment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual actions and international efforts. Both endeavors underscore the urgency for informed choices, local engagement, and global cooperation to secure a healthier planet and better quality of life for current and future generations. Host Bernice Butler talks with Jodi Sherman, Dave McGlinchey and Liz Willets to unpack and explore the everyday impacts of science based reporting and planning for our future by local and world leaders. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healthy-radio/support

Petrochemicals and energy company Sasol has advised that it will appeal the National Air Quality Officer's decision to decline its June 2022 application in terms of Clause 12A of the minimum emission standards (MES). The application related to the regulation of the sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions from the boilers at Sasol's Secunda Operations' steam plants on alternative emission load basis from April 1, 2025, onwards. Sasol's emission sources are regulated in accordance with atmospheric emission licences, which are based on the MES of November 2013, which are published as a section of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (Nemaqa). Sasol confirms it will appeal the decision to the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, to allow the Minister to consider the application afresh. Clause 12A of the MES permits existing plants to be regulated on an alternative emission load, as opposed to the current concentrated-based limit specified in the MES, which is according to the mass of pollutant per cubic metre of air emitted. Sasol has been implementing various projects at its Secunda, Sasolburg and Natref operations since 2015 in efforts to reduce emissions to comply with the MES. The company has spent more than R7-billion over the last five years, in particular, on emission reduction projects. Sasol explains that it has achieved MES compliance of 98% of its emission sources at these sites; however, the remaining 2% of sources are part of the company's ongoing journey to enable MES compliance by April 1, 2025. The only remaining challenge relates to achieving the concentration-based limit for SO2 emissions from the boilers at the Secunda Operations' steam plants. Sasol has determined that an integrated emission reduction roadmap, which intends to deliver emissions reductions in terms of both greenhouse-gas emissions, SO2 and other pollutants, is the optimal approach and best aligned with the objectives of Nemaqa and the purpose of the MES. This involves the turning down of boilers, reducing coal use and ramping up Sasol's imports of renewable energy to 1 200 MW by 2030. Sasol has already seen a reduction in emissions through the implementation of energy efficiency projects and is progressing the deployment of more than half of the committed renewable energy target from 2025 onwards. The company outlines in its Climate Change Report 2022 that among its efforts will also be to undertake boiler turndown, in efforts to reduce some of its emissions at Secunda. Sasol remains committed to ambient air quality improvement, it says, including reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. OPPOSING VIEW Nonprofit organisation Just Share in December last year said Sasol's Secunda facility, as well as the Natref refinery - a joint venture between Sasol and TotalEnergies - are among the most pollutive operations in Mpumalanga and the country. The area in which the operations are located, the Highveld Priority Area, is one of the worst air pollution hotspots globally. Nema designated the area as such, owing to its dangerous levels of air pollution. The High Court in March 2022 recognised that the poor air quality in the areas was a breach of residents' constitutional right to an environment that is not harmful to their health, and suggested that the Minister have regard to various considerations, including the need to address the postponement and suspension of compliance with MES in the priority area. The court also recommended that the atmospheric emission licences of all facilities have not obtained once-off suspension of compliance and cannot meet new plant MES by April 2025 are withdrawn and decommissioning and rehabilitation of those facilitates then needs to be enforced. Just Share believes Sasol, despite its participation in the process of setting the MES, has fought vigorously to avoid having to comply with these laws, including through an initial application to be completely exempt from the MES and subsequent complian...

Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly Earth Minute discusses the latest findings in a report on the impacts of climate change, and how a group of scientists are taking action.
Some of you may have read excerpts from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. Candidly, I didn't. Even the summaries were indecipherable. Which is probably a good thing since there is only one shred of good news in the whole report. More on that at the end. The report — indeed, the entire process — has been depressing. We have had 20+ years of climate activism; many Inconvenient Truths; wildfires, floods, droughts; and now energy wars. Still, the economic interests from fossil fuels and related industries continue to overwhelm the necessary actions. Which is no surprise, since the solution to global warming effectively means the end of the fossil fuel industry. As a result of their logical economic interests, the world is simply not reducing the use of fossil fuels quickly enough. Atmospheric CO2 hit 421 ppm in April. Global temperature increases will be closer to 2.5C under the best of circumstances. In order to keep global warming under 2C we need to do five things: put a high price on carbon, electrify everything, place high subsidies on renewables, place high subsidies on nuclear, and reduce methane emissions. The IPCC whitewashed these obvious actions, and instead recommend that the world just stop using fossil fuels (easy to say), find a way to remove CO2 from the atmosphere (consumes dramatically more energy than carbon capture at the source, which itself is not economical), curb demand of energy (which will reduce overall economic well-being), spend more money on clean energy (I agree), and tell rich people to use less energy (good luck). Unfortunately, there is no “how” there in these recommendations. Instead, here are my five realistic recommendations that you personally can implement right now, all of which are practical and will have a direct impact on your quality of life. 1) Make your home carbon negative with electrification, solar and batteries. You'll save money and have a healthier and more comfortable home. Plus, it's the best way to get back at greedy utilities. 2) Buy renewable energy and electrification stocks for you and your children. In general these will be long-term winners. Sell your fossil fuel company stocks for moral reasons even though over the short and medium term they may do OK. 3) Do not support climate-change denying politicians in any way. The same goes for politicians who support the fossil fuel infrastructure and rail against clean energy policies such as a carbon tax. 4) Do not get a 30 year mortgage on coastal property. If you like the beach, buy a block inland or just rent. 5) Eat less meat and more locally grown fruits and vegetables. I'm not sure how much impact this will have on global warming. But a good diet will help you live long enough to see that Al Gore was right. The one shred of good news is that the economic benefits of renewables — solar and wind — will mean that these clean energy sources will indeed replace fossil fuels. Eventually. But not at a fast enough rate unless we put a high price on carbon. For more about the IPCC report, please tune into the next Energy Show podcast.

The final installment in a landmark UN climate change report released overnight has a stark admission - It is now or never if the world is to stave off climate disaster. After a contentious approval session where scientists and government officials went through the report line by line, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has now published its guidance on what the world can do to avoid an extremely dangerous future. Even if all the policies to cut carbon that governments had put in place by the end of 2020 were fully implemented, the world will still warm by 3.2C this century. It says greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 and then be halved this decade or the world will be hit by "unprecedented heatwaves, terrifying storms, and widespread water shortages." New Zealand has some of the highest emissions in the world per capita, with methane and transport emissions largely to blame. Dr Andy Reisinger, the Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel, spoke to Morning Report.
Climate scientists say it is time for action. The UN-mandated Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – or IPCC – has already released two reports warning that extreme weather events will become more common unless there are drastic cuts to global emissions. In its third and final report – the IPCC looks at ways to reverse the damage. Will politicians listen? What's the fallout if they don't? Join host Rob Matheson. With guests: Andy Reisinger - Member of the Bureau of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Syeda Rizwana Hasan - Chief executive of the Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association. Stephan Singer - Senior Climate Science and Global Energy Policy Advisor at the Climate Action Network International.

The recently published second part of the sixth IPCC Assessment Report (AR6) leaves little room for doubt. Written by 270 researchers from 67 countries, the report is “an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership,” said António Guterres, the United Nations secretary general. “With fact upon fact, this report reveals how people and the planet are getting clobbered by climate change. The recent spike in global energy prices highlights how addicted the world is to fossil fuels and the geopolitical risks inherent on relying on a few key producers. To talk about the report and its implications for South Africa we're joined now by Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Barbara Creecy; Steve Nicholls, Head of Mitigation at the South African Presidential Climate Commission and Climate Change Advisor to the National Business Initiative & Olivia Rumble, director of climate consultancy climate legal and contributing author

A major United Nations report synthesizing the latest climate science just came out and it's been billed as a “code red for humanity.” But what's actually new? And how should global organizations respond to ensure their resilience and business continuity amid intensifying extreme weather events? Lou Gritzo, FM Global's vp and manager of research, provides business leaders a fresh lens for taking action.
One of the chapters in the latest report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was written largely by Oregon State University professor Alan Mix. The IPCC report plays a role in addressing the ongoing issue of global warming by highlighting what is currently happening, such as extreme weather and rising sea levels, and what is expected in the future. Mix is a distinguished professor of Earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences and was the lead author on the “Ocean, Cryosphere and Sea Level Change” chapter. He joins us to share details on his findings.

Climate Fiction novels: Escape to Canamith https://books2read.com/u/bWP9y1 The Two Worlds of Billy Callahan https://books2read.com/u/mvnvLX Cli/Fi short stories- A Climate Carol and Other Cli-Fi Short Stories. Available in print or audiobook. https://books2read.com/u/38roQL Danny Bloom created the phrase “cli-fi” and founder of cli-fi.net. Here's his review. Climate-themed anti-Trump short story 'A Climate Carol' will be read 100 years from now ''We must build arks,'' the Notre Dame University philosopher Roy Scranton urges, ''not just biological arks, to carry forward endangered genetic data, but also cultural arks, to carry forward endangered wisdom.'' One such cultural ark has already been built and it's a 14-page Christmas story from the pen of Richard Friedman in Cleveland, Ohio. In the title story, "A Climate Carol," based very closely on U.S. President Donald Trump's stubborn and selfish personality and his public denial of climate change, a narcissistic East Coast businessman and billionaire receives a visit on Christmas Eve from three Charles Dickens-like ghosts in a contemporary spin of that timeless classic from the 1840s "A Christmas Carol." Charles Dickens first published his now famous novella “A Christmas Carol” more than 170 years ago -- in 1843 — and that story has reverberated and resonated worldwide ever since. With the annual holiday season upon us all every November and December worldwide (Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas), a new kind of holiday story titled “A Climate Carol” has been published in 2019 and stands to remain in print for the next 100 years, if not longer. It's that good, and that important. In fact, I would say that this short story is the best and most important climate-themed short story to appear so far in the 21st century and is likely to remain popular over the next 100 Christmases for sure. When I read it online a few days ago, I was blown away by both the author's storytelling skills and the environmental eco-theme of the 14-page piece. Let me tell you a few things about this modern Dickensian-style story and how it fits into the world we live in today, where runaway global warming threatens to push human civilization into a dark corner we may never get out from. However, before I go on, please know that “A Climate Carol” ends on an optimistic note, where ecumenical goodness triumphs over ''Trumpian greed'' and all ends well. In the story you will meet characters with names like Wilson Drummond (the proverbial '' Trumpian bad guy'' who later turns over a new leaf and becomes a champion of human kindness), his mother Gurtie Drummond, his limousine driver Sammie Johnson, and his employee Jericho Reese. And the star of the show, his grand-daughter Lily. You will also meet several important ghost-like characters, one who calls himself the Ghost of Climate Past, another who says they are the Ghost of the Current Climate in the world, and a third ghost who speaks in a chilling voice reminiscent of the horror movie actor Vincent Price and declares that he is the Ghost of Climate Future. In the end, we learn that the Scrooge-like Trump-like Drummond has mended his insensitive ways and become a better human being. He even later becomes President of the United States and turns out to represent all that is good about America. And grand-daughter Lily lives to the ripe old age of 93 and looks back with fondness at the strange but redemptive life of her grandfather for the things he later did to protect the environment, save the planet and give back to his workers what he earlier had taken from them: their self-worth. This little short story will have an annual impact during a special time of the calendar year, the long holiday season of family gatherings and children's dreams. Read the title...

Listen NowThe 2019 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change (subtitled, Ensuring That the Health of a Child Born Today is not Defined by a Changing Climate), released in mid-November, identifies 41 indicators in five domains: climate change impacts, exposures and vulnerability; adaption, planning and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co-benefits; economics and finance; and, public and political engagement. Since this interview focuses on the first three domains, concerning the latter two, a few take-aways: in 2018 investment in fossil fuels increased slightly while investment in low-carbon energy slightly decreased; fossil fuel subsidies increased to $427 billion in 2018 or were 50% higher than in 2016; carbon pricing instruments in 2018 covered just 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions; in the US carbon prices averaged just $1/ton of CO2; regarding fossil fuel divestment, since 2008 investment funds committed to divestment equaled nearly $8 trillion with health institutions accounting for only $42 billion. Concerning public engagement, in 2018 only 12% of health care companies referenced health in context of the climate crisis – however this was consistent with media and government communication that also does not typically connect the climate crisis with health. Listeners may know I interviewed Dr. Jeremy Hess a year ago this week regarding 2018 Lancet Countdown report. During this 28-minute conversation Dr. Salas discusses moreover the Countdown's 2019 findings moreover regarding health impacts, exposures and vulnerabilities including heat-related illnesses, those related to greenhouse gas emissions/ambient air pollution, vector borne diseases and the disproportionate effects they have on children and the elderly. Dr. Salas also discusses adverse effects the climate crisis is having on food security and nutrition, what, or what more, health care providers can do to respond to the crisis (including relevant changes in clinical training) and efforts during the just-concluded UN COP 25 (Conference of the Parties related to the UN's Framework Convention on Climate Change) meetings just held in Madrid - that Dr. Salas attended.Dr. Renee N. Salas is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an Emergency Medicine Physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). She received her Doctor of Medicine from the innovative five-year medical school program to train physician-investigators at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. She concurrently obtained a Master of Science in Clinical Research from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Subsequently, she received a Master of Public Health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health with a concentration in environmental health while completing a Fellowship in Wilderness Medicine at MGH. She now has a sole academic concentration on climate change and health. As a 2018 Burke Fellow, she is addressing the current research gaps in this field. She served as the lead for the 2019 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change US Brief and is a nationally recognized leader on this subject.The 2019 Lancet Countdown report is at: http://www.lancetcountdown.org/2019-report/.
