Podcasts about climate museum

Acclaimed science writer Ferris Jabr reveals a radical new vision of Earth where lush forests emit dust, pollen and bacteria to summon rain in his new book, "Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life." Then, Miranda Massie, the founder and director of the Climate Museum located in New York City, describes this first of its kind museum which explores the changing climate and how the public can take action to reduce their carbon footprint.

In this episode of Citizens Climate Radio, listeners hear stories, insights, and innovative approaches to tackling climate change. From the unique perspective of a climate change comedian who marries humor with serious environmental advocacy to the empowering tales of youth activism at the global COP28 summit, this episode showcases diverse methods of engagement and action. Highlighting the importance of resilience, space for mental and emotional health, and the groundbreaking work of package-free shopping, it will inspire you while providing you with practical guidance.  A Climate Change Comedian? Brian Ettling shares his compelling journey from a park ranger to an influential climate change comedian, a story that encapsulates the essence of turning gloom into bloom. With seventeen years of experience as a seasonal ranger in the majestic landscapes of Crater Lake National Park and Everglades National Park, Brian shares how a simple yet profound question about global warming from a park visitor sparked a drastic shift in his career path and life purpose.  “Excuse me, all-knowing ranger,” a visitor said. “I have a question.” I smiled, humbly curious and certain I had the answer. “What's happening with global warming in the Everglades?” Wait. What?! I knew nothing about global warming, and visitors hate when park rangers tell you, 'I don't know. Brian spent time researching the question and was shocked by what he discovered.  The information I learned scared me. What the (bleep)! Because of climate change, sea level was expected to rise at least three feet in Everglades National Park by the end of the 21st century. The sea would swallow up most of the park and nearby Miami since the highest point of the park road is less than three feet above sea level. UGH, I hate you, climate change! This pivotal moment led him to deeply research climate change, eventually inspiring him to merge his passion for environmental advocacy with his unique sense of humor. An amateur video on YouTube led to two national television appearances on Comedy Central's Tosh.0. Daniel Tosh introduced America to the goofball who became the Climate Change Comedian.  Brian's narrative is a vivid testament to the power of individual transformation and the role of creativity in addressing serious global issues. He illustrates this by recounting defining moments in his journey, and he invites us to experience the journey complete with silly sound effects and a musical score.  Brian Ettling is a dynamic climate change communicator from Portland, Oregon, with a deep history of engagement with Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL). Over the years, he has worn multiple hats within CCL, including legislative liaison, co-chapter leader, and Missouri State co-coordinator. His dedication is evident in his attendance at nine CCL international conferences in Washington, D.C., where he served as a breakout speaker. Additionally, Brian has contributed his insights at the Canadian National CCL conference, showcasing his unwavering commitment to climate advocacy.

Tamara emphasizes the importance of creating space for rest and reflection to enhance effectiveness in climate activism. She illustrates this with personal anecdotes, suggesting, "When I create space, I enable presence and perspective... Creating space widens our window of tolerance, allowing us to respond with grace, ease, and courage to the challenges we face." She underscores the critical balance between passionate activism and the need for self-care to sustain long-term engagement in climate work.

This episode is a treasure trove of stories and insights. We take you on a personal tour of a pioneering package-free store in Portland, Oregon, led by Damon Mots-Storey of the Sierra Club. Imagine a place where sustainability isn't just a concept but a practical, everyday reality. It's a glimpse into a future where shopping aligns with our environmental values—a future that's already here. Then, we turn the spotlight to the youth, the driving force behind significant changes in the climate movement. Veda Ganesen shares the critical role young activists played at the COP28 meeting, proving that when it comes to fighting for our planet, age is just a number. These passionate individuals are not just sitting at the table; they're leading the conversation. But what about the spaces we occupy? Tamara Staton, with the resilience corner, invites us to consider the connection between our climate work and space. Not the outer space, but the space we need in our lives to be effective advocates. It's a reminder that taking a step back to breathe and create room for rest is not only beneficial but necessary for sustained action. We also take you through two New York City museums—the Museum of Modern Art and the Climate Museum—each offering unique perspectives on climate change and sustainability. Whether it's through the dynamic design of Solar Ivy or the actionable steps provided by the Climate Museum, these institutions are shaping the narrative and inspiring visitors. So, why should you listen to Episode 92? Because it's not just a podcast episode. It's a journey through the stories of individuals and communities making a real difference in the climate movement. It's an invitation to laugh, learn, and be inspired. It's a call to action that resonates with the urgency of our times, yet reminds us of the joy and creativity that can be found in the fight for a sustainable future.

John Linstrom is Postdoctoral Fellow in Climate and Inequality at the Climate Museum, and coedited The Liberty Hyde Bailey Gardener's Companion. Liberty Hyde Bailey was Dean of the College of Agriculture at Cornell University and Chair of the Commission on Country Life under President Theodore Roosevelt. A pioneer in modern horticulture and environmental philosophy, he was the author of more than seventy books. We spoke to John about how Liberty Hyde Bailey's book became the bible of the nature-study movement; how his ideas completely transformed education around the country; and how we can use his inspiring ideas today to get off of our screens, go outdoors and get more in touch with nature.

In this episode, John Linstrom tells us about Nature-Study, an educational movement that began in the rural classrooms of American Progressive Era. It takes students and learners of all kinds out of the classroom, away from the textbook, and into the world, to observe and learn. It offers us a mode of attunement to the world that we might use to heal the divide between rural and urban, and kindle the kind of social change we need to get the world off fossil fuels. Our conversation is centered around the new scholarly edition John edited of Liberty Hyde Bailey's The Nature-Study Idea (Cornell University Press, 2023), which just came out. It's the first book in the new The Liberty Hyde Bailey Library, a series for Cornell University Press reintroducing the ecological and critical-agrarian writings of L. H. Bailey (1858-1954). John was one of our first guests on High Theory back in 2020 – so if you want to listen back, you can check out the episode on Ecosphere. John told me when were were preparing to record that there was some debate about the dash in “Nature-Study” back in the day, but that he was on the side of the dashers, because the women teachers who led the movement favored the dash. John is a Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in Climate and Inequality at the Climate Museum in NYC. He is also the author of a book of poems called To Leave for Our Own Country coming out with Black Lawrence Press in April 2024. He believes in poetry's power to foster communities for change, human and more-than-human stories and visions of climate justice He received his PhD in Literature from New York University and his MFA in Creative Writing and Environment from Iowa State University. John, Kim, and Saronik spent a lot of time together as grad students at 244 Greene St. in NYC. John and Kim used to run a working group on agriculture and literature, called Farm to Text. John lives in Queens, where gleans deep joy from holding his baby daughter, singing choral music, and eating large quantities of pesto.

Miranda Massie (she/her) is the Climate Museum's director and founder. In 2014, she left a career in social justice law to start laying the groundwork for the Museum. As a civil rights impact litigator, her multiple honors include a Harvard Law School Wasserstein Public Interest Fellowship and a Mentorship-in-Residence at Yale Law School. Her board service has included a Head Start organization for migrant farm families and the Center for Popular Democracy. Miranda holds a J.D. from New York University, an M.A. from Yale University, and B.A. from Cornell University. Her favorite luxury is live theater and she will never say no to charades.  

Join us on an audio journey to the Climate Museum in NYC, to experience the End of Fossil Fuel Exhibit. In one of our most engaging episodes so far, you'll hear my conversation with the Museum's Founder and Director, Ms. Miranda Massie; and award-winning artist and author, Mr. Gregory Christie. Mr. Christie speaks about the 40-foot mural he created for the End of Fossil Fuel exhibit, and how art can articulate the toughest subjects and inspire positive change. Ms. Massie gives us insights into her take on art for climate justice and opens our eyes to the legacy of deception and discrimination in the fossil fuel industry.  By the end of the episode, you'll want to see the End of Fossil Fuel Exhibit for yourself. Here is the link to the Climate Museum in NYC, and here are the details about the new exhibition.  105 Wooster St, New York, NY 10012  

Miranda Massie is the Director and founder of the Climate Museum in New York City. The Climate Museum uses the power of arts and cultural programming to create an ongoing and progressive conversation surrounding the climate crisis. Her institution is committed to inspiring climate activism through art. The work she and her crew does invites people to recognize their own ability to act on climate change. It's an advocacy museum, she says, where they hope their audience will take action, to consider themselves as climate ambassadors who actively engaged in climate change action. Miranda says that appealing to a rationalist perspective doesn't work. That's actually how she found her way to creating the Climate Museum. It was 2012 and Hurricane Sandy was wreaking havoc on New York City. She lives in the city, so she watched as the effects of climate change were brought to her front door. Before that, she had understood climate change on a rational level, but faced with the destruction caused by the hurricane she was compelled — emotionally — by the urgency and the challenges of the climate crisis. So, she made a radical shift, she quit her job as an attorney and created the Climate Museum. Her mission then as it is now, was a deep civic shift toward climate dialogue across people's personal and professional lives. A ubiquitous understanding and acceptance of the crisis that will lead to meaningful climate policy. In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.

There are certain solutions we'll only find if we work together. That's why climate conversations are a collaborative effort. What are actions anyone can take to engage with climate conversations? Welcome to the second season of Architecture 5 10 20! I'm your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. Guests from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences related to the built environment will come to share their thought leadership. Our conversations will start with understanding how they arrived at what they're doing now. More importantly, we will focus on discussing their vision for the future, looking out 5, 10, and 20 years. Today, we are joined by Miranda Massey, a trailblazer who left a distinguished career as a civil rights litigator to establish the Climate Museum. The Climate Museum is a pioneering institution dedicated to shifting our cultural paradigm towards climate engagement. We'll delve into Miranda's commitment to combating climate indifference and climate silence, the powerful impact of the climate museums exhibitions, and the role these exhibitions have in reshaping our collective narrative of the climate crisis. Listen as we discuss how initiatives and sustainable design are constantly evolving. So it is crucial for sustainability to be inclusive and accessible. John explores the challenges and opportunities in the interior design industry to move the needle forward and minimize our collective impact on the planet. We talk about the influence professionals have in their individual roles and how we each can influence the industry. Miranda Massey's dedication to bridging the gap between climate awareness, the arts, and civic engagement serves as an inspiration to us all. Through the Climate Museum's exhibitions and collaborations, Miranda and her team have succeeded in fostering a sense of empowerment and community engagement that transcends conventional boundaries. As Miranda shared her insights, we were reminded that the path to a sustainable future is paved with creative endeavors, dynamic conversations, and a shared commitment to change.   Time stamps: [01:15] - Miranda Massey says she started her career in civil rights work.

http://annajurinich.net/ (Anna Jurinich), Wading River artist Anna Jurinich moved to the United States from Croatia at 11 years old and was raised by a strong mother she describes as a rock who was, in some ways, as much an enigma to her daughter as she felt she was to her mom. Her work is currently featured as one of nearly 200 flags displayed at Rockefeller Center rink through a United Nations Environmental Programme and Climate Museum competition and will be found at two upcoming gallery shows locally at the WIlliam RIS Gallery in Jamesport, including the Heart & Souls Ukraine benefit on April 30. George Giannaris, Tasty Tuesday Underwritten by https://www.southamptonartscenter.org/ (Southampton Arts Center) The chef/owner of https://thehellenic.com/ (Hellenic Snack Bar) in East Marion understands the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine from the perspective of a man who very nearly didn't exist. When Germany occupied Greece during World War II, Chef Giannaris' grandmother nearly terminated her pregnancy with his father due to her dire economic circumstances. The local restaurateur didn't allow what he calls “criticism of fools” to deter him from raising funds through Rotary International to help ease the pain of those suffering through a humanitarian crisis that will extend decades past the conflict itself. Hellenic Bar's efforts raised roughly $18,000 for Ukraine's citizens via rotary.org

“The worst crime I know men have committed is to turn nature into an oppressor.”In the city, the heat is suffocating: it reverberates off buildings, seeps through the concrete, and bounces off glass back down onto a city of 8.4 million people. New York City is hotter than ever before-- but it's felt differently from neighborhood to neighborhood. Today, we're ending our season in the land currently known as New York, where increasing heat exacerbates the risks already felt by communities bearing the brunt of a changing climate.Jade Lozada, a college student and climate organizer, recites her poem “The Worst Crime,” commissioned for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and explains the dual role heat plays in bringing her closer to home, and making home uninhabitable. Dr. Melissa Barber, co-founder of South Bronx Unite, studies hyper localized heat islands and protests corporate intervention with community-generated solutions to the climate crisis. Take Action:Jade's poem, “The Worst Crime,” was originally published by NRDC.org. You can find her poem, as well as those of three other writers, in this article.Jade was one of the finalists for Climate Speaks 2020, a climate arts program that is part of The Climate Museum, which aims to spark dialogue and action on the climate crisis.

We’ve all visited museums. We know what art museums and history museums look like. But what does a museum look like that focuses on climate and climate change? What exactly does it do, and who works there? To answer these questions, we chatted with Dr. Dilshanie Perera, who in September joined the New York City Climate Museum as postdoctoral fellow in climate and inequality.

In Episode #3, we meet Emilie, founder of Climate Communicators. We cover a range of topics in this podcast, but above all how "women are more impacted but also have the tools and the emotional intelligence to fight such a complicated and existential question that is climate change."

Her work stands at the intersection of climate action, communication, and youth empowerment. She worked in communications for Agritecure, a vertical farming consulting firm, the Climate Museum, and the Zero Hour youth-led climate movement, where she learned the importance of an organization’s consistent, unified voice.
