In the past week, two incidences of severe air turbulence have made international headlines.More than 100 people were injured and one man died last week when a Singapore Airlines plane flying from London to Singapore hit an unexpected air pocket, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Bangkok.Five days later, on Sunday, six passengers and six crew members were injured following turbulence on a flight from Doha, Qatar to Ireland.Turbulence has always a been a risk factor in aviation, but the ferocity of the sudden extreme turbulence experience on the Singapore Airlines flight was out of the ordinary.However, is this type of extreme, clear-air turbulence becoming more common? And are climate change and warming air currents making turbulence worse?Irish Times environment and science editor Kevin O'Sullivan joins the podcast to discuss the impact of climate change on air travel, while flight attendant Paula Gahan reflects on why she thinks severe flight turbulence is becoming more common.Presented by Sorcha Pollak. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on CounterSpin: UN Climate talks have ended with an agreement that, as New York Times headlines would suggest, “Strikes a Deal to Transition Away From Fossil Fuels.” Headlines, which are all that many people read, are often misleading, and sometimes they aggressively deflect from the point of the story, which in this case is that everyone who wasn't a polluting corporate entity came away from COP28 angry, worried, and frustrated at the way that fossil fuel companies have been able to not only endanger everyone with their actions but also hornswoggle their way into media debate, such that we're all supposed to consider how to balance the life of humanity on the planet with the profit margins of a handful of billionaires. Almost precisely a year ago, CounterSpin discussed fossil fuel corporations' brazen lie factory with Richard Wiles, director of the Center for Climate Integrity. We hear some of that  conversation again today. Also on today's show: When you talk about climate, a lot of folks go in their head to a picture of clouds, butterflies and wolves. Climate policy is about money and profit and the meaninglessness of all those beautiful vistas you might imagine — at least, that's how many politicians think of it. We addressed that with Matthew Cunningham-Cook from the Lever in August of this year. And we hear some of that discussion this week as well.   The post Climate Disruption Filtered Through Corporate Media appeared first on KPFA.

We can't have a public conversation about how fossil fuels cause climate disruption in a corporate media moneyed by fossil fuel companies. The post Richard Wiles & Matthew Cunningham-Cook on Climate Disruption Filtered Through Corporate Media appeared first on FAIR.

I recently stumbled on an Article by the great Brad Ack, in the Scientific American. This is a good outline of the importance of innovation and its responsibility.

To round out Season 3, Melissa and Wythe talk about the concept of the “urban forest” in NYC with scientist Mike Treglia of The Nature Conservancy. Mike was trained as a herpetologist (reptile scientist), but he now focuses on the total ecological systems of cities, especially trees. The Nature Conservancy itself works to study and protect land in many different ways, including in New York City. Mike also works with Forest For All NYC, supporting policy that can create and realize a comprehensive plan for NYC's treescape. Mike also co-organizes the Green Roof Researchers Alliance (GRRA), with NYC Audubon. The GRRA coordinates research on green roofs in the city, including the mapping of these roofs and helping us know what animals live across these heterogeneous spaces. Mike tells us all about the types of work that different research groups are up to, and how these individual scientific efforts connect with a larger social movement to create green roofs and steward them successfully. We also talk a lot about policy, especially given extreme temperatures and the roles green roofs can play in keeping buildings cooler.

Dr. Tushar Mehta practices Emergency Medicine in the Toronto area and is the co-founder of Towards Ahimsa and Plant Based Data, a free database which organizes academic and institutional literature regarding plant-based diet health, environment, food security, and zoonotic pandemic risk. Tushar will be speaking at Compassionate Living's upcoming Ahimsa Vegan Conference. Tushar joins us to discuss the environmental impact of animal agriculture and thoroughly debunks “regenerative” grazing. He also addresses common arguments for eating local and other “sustainable” meat, dairy, and eggs. He warns of animal farming's resource intensive use of land and water and offers solutions that we so desperately need as we swelter in the new normal of extreme summer heat, floods, and fires. This is a rebroadcast of an interview with Tushar in 2021. Resources:Ahimsa Vegan ConferenceAnother Industry Attempt to Greenwash BeefPlant-Based Data

Melissa and Wythe catch up with their friend and former co-host, artist and scholar of food agriculture, Allie Wist. Allie is currently completing an interdisciplinary arts Ph.D. at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a focus on the senses, the Anthropocene, and environmental archives. We talk about her work studying how plants' odors are changing due to climate disruption, the future of sustainable pest management, how rising temperatures affect different plants, the future of coffee production, and much more. Overall, we discuss how changes in agriculture due to climate disruption will affect cuisine in different ways—creating more and more “matter out of place” (and out of time) in food and agriculture. What types of smells and tastes will future consumers accept as delicious, or understand as “real,” given massive shifts in agriculture due to climate?Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Melissa and Wythe catch up with their friend and collaborator Jeffrey Landau, Director of Business Development at Agritecture Consulting. Jeffrey is an expert in controlled environment agriculture (CEA, or indoor farming), urban agriculture, and urban agriculture policy. He's spent the last year traveling to farms and gardens across the U.S., working much of that time with different stakeholders in the city of Dallas to craft an urban agriculture plan, and he shares with us some of his reflections on urban agriculture policy around the country. We talk about current trends in urban agriculture, differences between UA sectors in different cities, the importance of land trusts, and what the future may hold, especially as climate disruption intensifies. It's an edifying conversation, as always.

Greenhouse gases from fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are warming the planet. This warming is then setting in motion ice and permafrost melting, release of more greenhouse gases, more heat and storms – these are feedback loops, which then feed upon themselves, as well as interact with each other and spiral further out of control. In this show, we sat down in 2022 with Susan Gray, Director and Bonnie Waltch, Senior Producer and writer of the five-part documentary series, “Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops.” [https://FeedBackLoopsClimate.com] Narrated by Richard Gere, this series of five short films features twelve leading climate scientists, who explore how human-caused emissions are triggering nature's own warming loops. We also learned why natural warming loops have scientists alarmed—and why they feel we have less time to correct climate disruption than previously thought. The series is subtitled in 23 languages and can be paired with an educational science curriculum for students in grades 6-12.

In a lively and insightful roundtable discussion, Ralph hosts former Marine company commander, Matthew Hoh, who when not deployed also worked in the Pentagon and the State Department and independent and unembedded Iraq war correspondent, Dahr Jamail. They mark the twentieth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and discuss the consequences of that misbegotten and illegal war. Plus, we hear a clip from Ralph's and Patti Smith's antiwar concert tour conducted in 2005.Dahr Jamail is the author of Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq, as well as The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption. He is co-editor (with Stan Rushworth) of We Are the Middle of Forever: Indigenous Voices from Turtle Island on the Changing Earth.It's hard to even articulate the level of suffering (in Iraq). And this is the country that exists today, that I got to leave, the military got to leave— at least for the most part. But the Iraqi people can't leave. And this is what they have to live with today.Dahr JamailMatthew Hoh is a Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy. Mr. Hoh took part in the American occupation of Iraq, first with a State Department reconstruction and governance team and then as a Marine Corps company commander. When not deployed, he worked on Afghanistan and Iraq war policy and operations issues at the Pentagon and State Department. In 2009, he resigned in protest from his post in Afghanistan with the State Department over the American escalation of the war.This consistent line of violence directed against the Iraqi people to achieve American political aims had been established for decades. And I went into it thinking that somehow we were different… “If I go into this war, I can affect the people around me because I am going to be good and I am going to be moral and I am not going to do bad things.” And that's a complete fallacy. That's an incredible mistake.Matthew HohWe have to go into this history because it's going to happen again and again and again. The warmongers are active again on the Ukraine War now. More and more, we're moving toward a conflict with Russia...Who knows what will happen, because there's no break on our government. It's as if it was a dictatorship when it comes to foreign policy.Ralph Nader Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

In a jam-packed program full of abundant insight, Ralph first welcomes back Dahr Jamail to discuss his work “We Are the Middle of Forever: Indigenous Voices from Turtle Island on the Changing Earth” about what we can learn from indigenous people who have survived incredible disruptions to the climate to their families and to their way of life. Then Karen Friedman from the Pension Rights Center gives us an update on how they are fighting to save our hard-earned money. And finally, Cal Berkeley grad students, Sandra Oseguera and Jesus Gutierrez explain the university's “inverted priorities” as it spends millions of dollars on football coaches' salaries and real estate while shutting down campus libraries.Dahr Jamail is the author of Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq, as well as The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption. He is co-editor (with Stan Rushworth) of We Are the Middle of Forever: Indigenous Voices from Turtle Island on the Changing Earth.One of the themes of the book is the difference between the Western settler-colonialist mindset of: What are my rights? I have my rights. Versus a more Indigenous perspective that we came across time and again in the book of: We have two primary obligations that we are born into. One is the obligation to serve and be a good steward of the planet. The other obligation is to serve future generations of all species. So, if I focus on my obligations, it's very very clear that I have plenty of work to do in service to those. If I focus only on my rights, I'm going to be chronically frustrated.Dahr Jamail, editor of We Are the Middle of Forever: Indigenous Voices from Turtle Island on the Changing EarthKaren Friedman is the Executive Director of the Pension Rights Center. She develops solutions and implements strategies to protect and promote the rights of consumers, and for more than 20 years has represented their interests in the media and before congressional committees.Social Security is the strongest system we have. While opponents of Social Security have tried to undermine confidence in its future, the truth is that Social Security is one of the most universal, efficient, secure, and fair sources of retirement income…It's not going broke, folks. It's a great system. That's all propaganda, meant to scare the bejesus out of you.Karen FriedmanSandra Oseguera and Jesús Gutierrez are graduate students in the Anthropology department at The University of California, Berkeley.  Last month, campus administration announced their plan to close the Anthropology Library, one of only three dedicated Anthropology libraries in the US. In response, stakeholders including students and faculty have organized to demand that the Anthropology Library be protected and fully supported by the University.[Fighting to save the library] has been a wonderful experience of community and collaboration among many stakeholders. However, we the grad students see ourselves as the keepers and also the main users of [the Anthropology Library's] collection because all of our research really relies on the resources that are there.Sandra OsegueraThe library is a really valuable space. It's not only a space for simply going in and accessing a book. It's also a space of encounter. The kind of thing that the University is trying to destroy is essentially this possibility for having a happenstance run-in with a book that you may not necessarily have intended to type into the catalog system or with a person who you may not otherwise run into.Jesús GutierrezThe situation at Berkeley has become grotesquely inverted, in terms of the University. They have millions for football and other sports and paying coaches huge salaries. They have millions for administrative officials. But they want to shut down one of the great Anthropology libraries in the Western World.Ralph Nader Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

New scientific work demonstrates that even a “limited” nuclear war would cause abrupt climate disruption and global starvation. A limited nuclear war is defined as a conflict confined to one region and involving a small fraction of the world's nuclear arsenals. But such a conflict would be neither limited nor regional and despite statements to the contrary, it would be an event on a planetary scale of death and destruction. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ccnsupdate/support

There's a way to tell the story of heat waves that connects to policy and planning, but that centers human beings. The post Vivek Shandas on Climate Disruption & Heat Waves, Jamie Kalven on Laquan McDonald Coverup appeared first on FAIR.

We wrap up our first season with a thoughtful conversation with communities experts Yana Ludwig, Sky Blue, and Cassandra Ferrera on the state of the communities movement (and if it is even a "movement"!) We discuss the complexity of challenges facing both individual communities and the greater collective Community to meet both the everyday social, financial, and emotional needs of members as well as address larger systemic issues that are being dealt with in society on a broader scale. Yana, Sky, and Cassandra have been engaged in these discussions together for years as friends, FIC board members, and community advocates and today they share their insights in what could be considered "advanced community theory." Yana Ludwig is a cooperative culture pioneer, intentional communities advocate, and anti-oppression activist. She serves on the FIC board, and is a trainer and consultant for communities, worker owned cooperatives and nonprofits. She is the author of Together Resilient: Building Community in the Age of Climate Disruption, The Cooperative Culture Handbook (with Karen Gimnig), and the soon-to-be-released Building Belonging: Your Guide to Starting a Land-based Intentional Community. Yana Ludwig Training and Consulting Sky Blue (They/Them pronouns) has spent 22 years living, working, and organizing in intentional communities, cooperatives, and community organizations. They are currently working with a group of people to start a new community, and work as a community consultant as part of The Next Big Step. They take a whole systems approach to helping groups uncover and address underlying issues and dynamics, develop shared understanding, and find ways to move forward together. sky@ic.org. Cassandra Ferrera's real estate career and community activism has focused on the edge of cultural innovation where cooperation meets land stewardship. She has provided agency, complex contract design, consulting and cooperative governance support to dozens of communities and land projects. A licensed real estate agent in California since 2003, Cassandra's license is with the progressive Green Key Real Estate brokerage in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is currently co-founding The Center for Ethical Land Transition, a non-profit organization that supports solidarity and justice in land transitions. www.cassandraferrera.net If you want to learn more about Community, check out the The Foundation for Intentional Community.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said the triple crisis of climate disruption, nature loss and pollution requires ambitious action.

What if the central purpose of the Torah is to ensure was to ensure that people live in harmony with the environment and other living things? That is exactly what Rabbi David Seidenberg teaches, and he believes that Jews have strayed from the Torah's message for thousands of years. Seidenberg also believes Jews can return to the Torah's teaching and play a key role in combating climate change – before it is too late. Seidenberg spoke with podcast host Bryan Schwartzman live from B'Yachad: Reconstructing Judaism together, the movement-wide convention, in late March in Northern Virginia. This is the first Evolve podcast episode in front of a live audience. We took questions from the audience, had some sound interference from the next room but, through technical marvel, managed to record a crisp episode. And we delved deeply into Judaism and the environment, addressing questions like: does the Torah view animals as people? Is there any way to summon optimism regarding the state of a natural world confronting climate change caused by humans? Have humans always wrecked the environment and are we capable of change?

We made the same mistake average Russians are making right now. Repeatedly. It's all about human nature being exploited by ruthless politicians. Also how long will greedy corporatists be allowed to use the pandemic to increase their own profits? Bernie Sanders has a bill to stop it. Joe Manchin appears to care more about propping up one dirty, power plant that pays him $500,000 a year than about shoring up West Virginia's economy for the next generation and years to come.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Fields team speaks with Greg Peterson, founder of The Urban Farm in Phoenix, AZ, about his decades of working in urban agriculture. He's developed an “urban to the max” old-growth food forest in the middle of a dry region. (At the same time, Greg is also the host of The Urban Farm Podcast, which has an archive of over 650 episodes!) We talk about trust in nature, the human condition, abundance, why growing grass makes much less sense than growing fruit trees, and how Greg has taught urban agriculture online during a pandemic. In fact, The Urban Farm offers free urban agriculture classes online. Recorded at the end of COP26 summit, this episode also focuses on climate disruption's effects on agriculture as well as the politics of agriculture.

Thinking of starting an intentional community? The first step is finding “your people” ⁠— the fellow founders you will join with to build community. This is no easy task!

This week, Stephanie and Michael are joined by community leader, Natasha Juliana, who is currently hard at work on “Cool Petaluma,” a project that aims to heal the climate from the ground up. Aware at how easy it is to become overwhelmed by the climate crisis, paralyzed by its magnitude, Cool Petaluma starts with concrete, inclusive and non-political actions taken at a grassroots level. This allows people to see that there are in fact ways each one of us can help the earth right now – and part of that comes through building conscious and caring communities wherever we are:“I've always believed that individual actions are the on-ramp to larger collective action and participation. It's the way we get introduced to a new way of thinking and ideas…the first actions that [those involved in the project] take are around emergency preparedness. Because as we move into this climate disruption, we are going to see more – as we have already over the last four or five years, more fires, more floods, you know, depending on where you are in the country. All kinds of reasons that it's helpful to be prepared. And why it's so helpful to have those relationships with your neighbors so that you can take care of each other. You can know who to look out for on the block and how to share resources.And that's such an easy in-road for people. It's not political. It's – everybody understands that everybody has been experiencing it. So, it's just a really great place to start”Natasha also encourages us to be deliberate in the language we use as we talk about making change. Words like “combat” or “make war” – even in relation to the real problems we hope to overcome – seep into our psyches and can lead us away from our true aims, which involve not fighting but “growing,” “coordinating,” “creating” and “enjoying.”

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, we spend the entire program with conservation biologist, social profit and predictor of near term human extinction Guy McPherson for a rousing discussion of Climate Disruption triggering events, elite management of the situation and one sliver of a chance he is exploring of how our demise as a species could possibly be avoided.

Are we Going to Decarbonize our World. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Toby Kinkaid. Logic, is unemotional and inescapable. Let's take the hype out of the energy and state-of-the-world discussion and ask the tough questions: How do we solve Climate Disruption? The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment is in, and its bad news. Powering the modern world with toxic fossil fuels has come home to roost. The IPCC points out the dangers of “Tipping Points,” and “Extreme Compound Events.” Today's discussion is on the question of “How will the world actually decarbonize?” The Logic of Green Hydrogen focuses on the logic of solving the world's energy and toxicity problem. Let's cut through all the emotions and look at the facts, and the critical thinking path we need to solve global problems, with a common local solution: Green Hydrogen.

Join me for an inspiring chat with Judith Black, storyteller and climate activist, who has brought folktales into the belly of her State Legislature! Judith has been telling stories for 35 years. Five years ago, realising the full scale of the climate disaster we are facing, Judith dedicated herself and her storytelling skills to working on these issues. In our chat, she shares three ways of working with story: (1) a wake up call to responsibility; (2) a warning and education; (3) modelling strategies for change. She suggests a number of stories that fit these three categories and tells three: Spider and the Palm Nut Tree, Three Brahmans and a Tiger, The Giant Turnip. Stories are powerful, she argues, because they keep our gates of perception open. Judith has done a Tedx talk on Storytelling and Climate Disruption and Hope: An Antidote to Despair: Storytelling and Climate Disruption On her website, she generously shares her wisdom on crafting environmental stories from science: http://storiesalive.com/an-integrated-life-storytelling-climate-disruption-1/ She makes reference to Margaret Read MacDonald's Earth Care: World Folktales to Talk About.

It's a real blessing to feel a sense of purpose that in these times. It's a real blessing to be able to take the feelings of fear and grief and actually channel them somewhere into running a group or to making a film or doing your podcasts. I think it's important that people really tune in to find out what they're given to do at this time, to really listen to what the call is in you and follow it. I think there's something that's very generative and supportive about feeling a sense of purpose in a time of collapse.michael shaw, conscient podcast, april 12, 2021, australiaMichael Shaw is a teacher and therapist by training. I learned about Michael's work by viewing his first film, produced in collaboration with Michelle Walter, called Living in the Time of Dying, which he describes as:The recognition of the stark reality of the climate crisis we are facing, and what it would mean to me in my lifetime, or what's left of it. When I first began to see it clearly, I felt a sense of shock and fear, as well as a profound sense of sadness. I was unable to pretend I didn't see what I did and felt internally undone for a considerable amount of time. Eventually I felt a powerful call to action from that place.Living in the Time of Dying websiteWithlittle funds, no experience in the field and knowing that his message might well also be unpopular (I know the feeling!), Michael now makes media projects to engage the public about climate anxiety and grief. It is through his film that I learned about the engaging work of dharma teacher Catherine Ingram and her powerful extended essay, Facing Extinction as well as the writings of Dhar Jamail, author of The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption, both of whom I quote in e19 reality. Similar to my humble aspirations with this podcast, Michael and Michelle's work seeks to face the global changes and explore how to best live in this 'time of dying' (as they say). This episode was recorded between my home in Ottawa and Michael's home in Australia on April 13, 2021.  Michael and I exchanged on a wide range of issues including the role of media to address the climate emergency, support structures for ecogrief, the role of the arts and the concept of hope. As I have done in all episodes in season 2 so far, I have integrated excerpts from soundscape compositions and quotations drawn from e19 reality in this episode.I would like to thank Michael for taking the time to speak with me, for sharing his insights as a fellow producer of climate emergency media projects and for providing a support structure for those struggling with eco anxiety and eco grief. For more information on Micheal and Michelle's work, see https://www.livinginthetimeofdying.com/ *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHere is a link for more information on season 5.

On today's show, I'm in conversation w/award winning author Dahr Jamail on the his latest publication, “The End of Ice:  Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption”, the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to both. The post A Rude Awakening – Conversation With Author Dahr Jamail appeared first on KPFA.

In this age of climate disruption and record shattering mega-fires, hurricanes, and the many other disasters wrecking havoc around the world, how do you rebuild from scratch?  Allen Myers grew up in the town of Paradise, CA and like thousands of others, lost his childhood home to the Camp Fire when it burned through 153,336 acres of the Sierra Foothills on November 8th, 2018. Despite its name, Paradise had been afflicted by deep poverty and opioid addiction for years before the fire — it is also located in a very high danger area that regularly experiences wildfires. So, perhaps a more relevant rebuilding question is, how do you rebuild a town better than it was before? Not just recreating the old systems and structures that weren't working for most people in the first place, but rebuilding with more resilience, equity, and humanity? After the initial fire recovery was completed, Allen set out to find answers to those questions; visiting the small town of Onagawa on Japan's Tōhoku coast.  Seven years earlier, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake sent a 45-foot high tsunami crashing into the eastern coast of Japan, washing away several towns in the process, including Onagawa. While many of the surrounding towns have been slow to rebuild and have had a difficult time getting residents to move back, Onagawa has taken a unique path through a participatory process which has been incredibly successful. In the final episode of season two of The Response, we follow Allen's journey and explore the lessons he brought home from Onagawa and the rebuilding efforts in Paradise. It serves as a unique window into how residents are working together to build a new vision for what comes next, while fighting against the forces pulling them back towards the status quo.

On Earth Day, we bring a conversation with acclaimed journalist and former war correspondent Dahr Jamail who has traveled the world for the past few years to cover the effects of climate change.  He is author of the book The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption.
