Is COP30 shaping up to be the worst UN climate conference ever? The 30th Conference of the Parties is underway in the Brazilian jungle — some of which was cleared and paved to bring the private jet-set and bureaucrats into the venue. And just days in, the whole thing is already descending into chaos.A large group of angry indigenous protesters have stormed the conference, furious that the agenda left them out. Poor planning and shoddy infrastructure have led to rain leaking through light fixtures, broken air conditioning, and even problems with something as basic as toilet paper disposal.Maybe sensing this impending farce, at least 30 major countries — including the United States — have declined to send official government delegations. We're only a few days in, and it's already looking like the worst COP ever. That takes some doing.On Episode #182 of The Climate Realism Show, we'll break down what's really happening at COP30 and what it reveals about the people who want to control every aspect of our lives to “save the planet.”The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken and guest Chris Martz will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week.Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook — and jump into the live chat!Chapters: 00:55 Intro02:35 Special Guest and Panel Introduction04:17 Crazy climate news of the week19:41 Democrats are getting quieter over Climate News?29:35 COP 30: The Natives are Restless36:09 COP Pledge Defeat the Deniers 51:49 The COP 30 Fall Out1:07:03 Advisory Metals!1:08:51 Q & A In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Liberal Party leader, Sussan Ley (pictured), is at the centre of discussions that mean little to what it is that Australians need to hear about addressing climate change."These numbers say net zero is doomed – and so is Sussan Ley";"Where the sky keeps bursting";"Greenwashing in the Evergreen State";"Ley's job on the line as Liberals reject net zero";"Birrell advocates for coal, gas, and eventually nuclear";"The Liberal party's betrayal of younger voters on net zero isn't just a moral failure – it's electoral stupidity";"The spectacular nonsense of the Coalition's internal brawl over the 2050 net zero emissions target".

Both Democrats and President Trump wanted to make Tuesday's off-year elections the “Energy Election.” And it was not a good night for Republicans. Left-wing climate media say this is proof voters oppose Trump's roll-back of “green” energy mandates and subsidies. Is there any truth to that? On Episode #181 of The Climate Realism Show, we'll drill into that.The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including giving up your pets to save the climate, whether we should be concerned about the “fastest glacier retreat in Antarctica in modern history,” and noticing that the EU has weakened its “climate target” just as the world flies to Brazil for the United Nations' climate confab, COP30.Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.Visit our sponsor, Advisor Metals: https://climaterealismshow.com/metalsChapters: 00:55 Why Friday is the best day of the week03:02 Guest and Panel Introduction4:30 Climate News of the week13:46 Antarctic ice grows back?22:22 The Guardians coping and grifting over the Climate as always30:33 Bad Start for COP 3042:33 Main Topic: Climate Energy & the Election1:00:14 Advisory Metals1:02:07 Q & A with Linnea In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Melbourne's recent All Energy Conference was fascinating for many reasons, but left me flummoxed, as it was, at its essence, about limiting climate change, even though it seemed to be about growth. The exhibits were impressive, almost like social events with free coffee, lots of meetings, and the exchange of ideas (pictured)."The $4.1 million question: How did the BOM get its new website so wrong?";"‘If you ignore emissions, we did great': Germany's challenging fight to go green";"Backbench heat over Labor plans to ‘gut' environment safeguards";"People trust podcasts more than social media. But is the trust warranted?";"‘We're not going to streak ahead': Nationals officially dump net zero climate target";"Hastie rebukes Liberals ‘living in Howard era' as opposition weighs net zero rebrand";"View from The Hill: Nationals dump net zero – say Australia shouldn't cut emissions faster than comparable countries";"Bill Gates Says Climate Change ‘Will Not Lead to Humanity's Demise'";"Money to Help Nations Cope With Climate Disasters Is Declining, U.N. Says";"Deadly rivers in the sky".

Chris Bowen (pictured) is Australia's Climate Change and Energy Minister, who says it is the toughest job he has ever had.Mr Bowen, also the Federal Member for McMahon, was a guest on a recent webinar organised by Australia's Climate Council.He was interviewed by the CEO of the Climate Council, Amanda McKenzie.And from The Melbourne Age we have the story: "COP out? Prospect of climate summit spanning Australia and Turkey raises carbon emissions question".

Bill McKibben (pictured), a climate activist, author, and occasional newspaper columnist, has encouraged people to be less individualistic and join groups.He was among those on a panel organised by The New York Times as a part of its annual "Climate Forward" conference assembled to discuss "The future of climate activism in the Trump era"Mik Aidt has a special guest on his "The Climate Revolution" show - British sustainability strategist Joseph Gelfer calls time on weak incrementalism. He argues that the urgency of planetary collapse, combined with rising public frustration and disillusionment, will soon push even moderate citizens to demand bold, transformative change. When that moment comes, we must be ready. A peaceful political revolution for a pollution-free society is possible – but only if we dare to think big and act boldly on a planetary scale.And from The Guardian we read "Wildfires tore through central Chile last year, killing 133 people. In California, 18,000 buildings were destroyed in 2018 causing US$16bn (A$24bn, £12bn) in damage. Portugal, Greece, Algeria and Australia have all felt the grief and the economic pain in recent years.The story is: "Wildfires are getting deadlier and costing more. Experts warn they're becoming unstoppable".

David Spratt (pictured) was the keynote speaker at the webinar "Cooling or Collapse", sharing the microphone with activist and author Jane Morton.David is the lead researcher with The National Centre for Climate Restoration (Breakthrough). This independent think tank develops critical thought leadership to influence the climate debate and policy making.  Also, in this episode, you will hear how a councillor from the City of Greater Shepparton wants officers to report on progress made on a 2020 decision to set a target of zero carbon emissions by 2030.Cr Rod Schubert gained unanimous support in calling for the report to be tabled by November.

Professor David Karoly (pictured) was among those critical of Australia's position on carbon emissions: "Climate scientists target Albanese as Turkey holds out on COP talks";"Call for more urgent climate action";"Drought resilience project focuses on orchards";"Water impacted in climate report";"On a progressive journey to their carbon-neutral future";"'Russian blood oil': Australia faces calls to ban oil products refined from Russian crude";"Exxon Urges Europe to Repeal Rules to Make Companies Track Climate Pollution".

Great Teapot in the Sky believers are mostly climate change deniers.The SBS show "Black Gold" illustrates how fossil fuel companies were aware decades ago of how, when, and why our climate was going to deteriorate."Europe splits on climate in ‘major embarrassment' before UN summit""60 Best Climate Change Podcasts";"Albanese takes his usual each-way bet on climate change";"All Gassed Up, Part 1: The Carbon Coast";"Urban sprawl worsens as government struggles to meet density targets";"What will Australia's 2035 climate goal mean for the grid?";"Here's the good news: we've improved the environment before, and we can do it again".

Australian mining billionaire Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest sharply criticised US President Donald Trump's “gobsmackingly illogical” energy policies and accused him of kowtowing to oil and gas donors as he arrived in New York for a major United Nations summit - "‘Gobsmackingly illogical': Twiggy lashes Trump on climate as Aussies hit New York";"Charlie Kirk and America's political collapse";"Climate Minister Chris Bowen stops short of setting targets for renewables, EVs";"Matt Kean on Australia's future in a climate crisis – Australian Politics podcast";"Coalition denial makes Labor seem reasonable on climate – but neither is ambitious enough".

Some days, Australia presents as a petrostate; others, it's not that at all.Read the new book by Michael Mann and Peter Hotez, "Science Under Siege," to better understand Australia's Chameleon-like behaviour."Will the government's 2035 target avert a climate crisis?""Littleproud labels Labor's 2035 climate target a 'con job' ";"'Falls short': Vanuatu on Australia's 2035 climate target";"Bowen weighs in on climate target criticism";"Three times faster: Climate target means emissions need drastic fall over next decade";"‘It's a farce': Treasury reveals only one number in play for Albanese's climate target";"Australia needs to quadruple its number of wind farms.

What does this even mean?".

Australia has set a goal to cut emissions by between 62 per cent and 70 per cent by 2035 from 2005 levels, as the Albanese government continues its strategy of modestly ambitious climate action over the next decade.The 2035 target is an upgrade to the plan to cut greenhouse gases 43 per cent by 2030 and represents a major challenge to the government and the economy, given emissions have fallen 28 per cent in the two decades since 2005 and must fall a further 15 per cent in the next five years."Australia announces 2035 climate target of 62-70% emissions cut";"Politics with Michelle Grattan: Tony Wood on ‘politics trumping climate policy' and the hard road ahead";"Heat waves aren't just natural disasters.

The present events in Gaza City are driven by one man's twisted thinking, with the subsequent death and destruction, undergirded by fossil fuels, not to mention the massive rebuild needed to repair the lives of millions, is climate change writ large.Here's a story from The New Times: "Israeli Ground Forces Move Into Gaza City, Sowing Chaos";"Coalition divisions erupt as more MPs urge leader to dump climate pledge";"Victoria's renewables push suffers major blow as developers bail";"September is hotter than ever, but January rings the alarm bell even louder";"‘Using the wrong data': Major problem with the 1.2m new homes";"New climate report warns property prices face a $611 billion hit.

On August 5, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the Department of Health and Human Services would terminate almost $500 million in mRNA vaccine development grants and contracts, affecting 22 projects. Biologist and mRNA researcher Jeff Coller joins Host Ira Flatow to talk about what this move means for future mRNA research in the US beyond these immediate projects.Plus, reporter Casey Crownhart joins Ira to discuss the latest in climate news, including flooding in Juneau, Alaska; how Ford is pursuing further electric vehicle manufacturing despite federal roadblocks; and a startup using Earth itself as a giant battery.Guests:Dr. Jeff Coller is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of RNA Biology and Therapeutics at Johns Hopkins University.Casey Crownhart is a senior climate reporter for MIT Technology Review in New York, New York.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

The International Court of Justice has delivered a landmark, albeit nonbinding ruling, that countries have a legal obligation to act on climate change. In this context, climate news in this past week has raised worry for climate advocates. The New Zealand government has passed legislation to reverse the 2018 ban on new oil and gas exploration projects, which is predicted to increase the country's emissions by 14.2 million tonnes according to official analysis.  As well, the United States are seeking to negate the finding that greenhouse gas emissions pose any danger to human health, with the aim to reduce the power of the Environmental Protection Agency to restrict activities that produce these emissions. Wire Host Sara spoke to Greenpeace executive director Russel Norman about these two cases and their potential consequences for global climate action.

Thomas advocates a news and technology break for people to enjoy their summer or holiday time; to reconnect with nature and their family; and replenish their own thoughts and dreams. But what to do when you come home? In this episode of "Climate Change and Happiness," Thomas and Panu Pihkala explore their own intricate balance between staying informed about global climate events and maintaining personal well-being. As they discuss the impacts of climate change—such as the recent deadly floods in Texas, and heatwave in Helsinki—they emphasize the importance of personal rituals and mindfulness in navigating the overwhelming news cycle. Join them as they delve into strategies for maintaining awareness without succumbing to despair, and discover how personal experiences and connections can serve as a grounding force in turbulent times. 

My hometown newspaper, The Shepparton News, has undergone a remarkable change - it's now almost entirely a digital publication, switching from five print editions each week to just two. However, it will still be available to subscribers seven days a week via its digital editions.The change brings many benefits, particularly for those who follow this podcast, as all those stories the newspaper publishes about climate-related issues will be available in text-to-audio style and so can be included with the first being: "Locals encouraged to make the switch to electric living";"Transition to net-zero emissions";"It's Paradise Lost as Climate Change Remakes Europe's Summers";"Storms drench spots on hot, humid D.C.

Donald Trump's order to have the U.S. military attack uranium enrichment sites in Iran refreshes our understanding of the "tyranny of the immediate".From The New York Times, we hear about "Pentagon Details Multipronged Attack on Iranian Nuclear Sites".The military is not included in the 2019 Paris emissions targets due to pressure and agitation from the U.S., and this bombing raid clearly illustrates the reasons for that, as the emissions would have been equal to those of a small country.However, the Iranian assaults are a clear reminder of the tyranny of the immediate and why we need to rise above that and remember that climate change remains, all the time, in the background as an existential threat.And here is that earlier episode of Climate Conversations - "Press briefing: Covering Climate Now helps us understand the tyranny of the immediate in global conflicts".

Climate change regularly falls victim to the tyranny of the immediate, meaning it is pushed out of major media outlets by news perceived as more urgent or immediate.Beyond that, for some years, articles covering climate issues were rarely seen in national media and, in a few instances, almost prohibited.That is changing as it is now a topic frequently covered, as illustrated in recent episodes of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's television show, "Landline".Data scientist, Hannah Ritchie, writes about "How much biofuel would we need to decarbonise aviation?";And here you can hear her discussing "Heikki Malinen: Does sustainable aviation fuel work?" on her podcast, "Solving for Climate';And should you be eager to know more about "Hannah Ritchie";"Discarded clothes from UK brands found in protected Ghana wetlands – Greenpeace";"The desalination plant is running, but these Victorian towns are on water restrictions";"Climate Change Will Bankrupt the Country";"Sustainable Aviation Fuels Are Struggling to Take Off Amid Greenwashing Claims";"Biofuels Policy, a Mainstay of American Agriculture, Has Been a Failure for the Climate, a New Report Claims";"Government to consider changes to gas appliance ban";"Indicators of Global Climate Change";"Brazil: Let's deliver on our old climate promises before making new ones";"How ‘sophisticated' climate misinformation gets to the heart of power";"Current heatwave ‘likely to kill almost 600 people in England and Wales'";"England's rivers ‘under threat' as water extraction surges to record levels";"Fuel firms can challenge California's emission limits, supreme court rules";"Here's how climate change is affecting your home insurance";"As anti-tourism protests grow in Europe, we need a rethink – but that's no reason to stop travelling";"Do solar farms make good neighbors?

Climate expert Jonathan Overpeck, dean of the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability, does not sugarcoat things.The words "scary," "depressing" and "devastating" come up when he talks about the impacts of climate change, including record warmth and drought conditions. But he also doesn't ignore how communities across the country and around the world are finding ways to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption.Overpeck joined the Michigan Minds podcast to discuss recent trends in climate news—both good and bad—and what people can do to stay resilient.Do you have advice for people who are feeling climate anxiety and ways to cope with that?We get that question a lot from students, but I think also fellow faculty. These are tough times in terms of what's going on in Washington, what's going on in our global climate. There are a lot of other things going on that we worry about, so I think what's important is to figure out ways to be resilient. And one of the ways is to really reach out to your family, friends and community to get the support you need. Another is to find things you can do. And there's so many things you can do.

Welcome back to Season 10! With the hosts together again following our break, Tom, Paul and Christiana are bursting with news and analysis.  Up for discussion this week, the hosts try to understand why the Democrats haven't been talking much about climate change and what drives Kamala Harris' outrage and optimism. They delve deeper into the UK's new Labour Party's plans around energy, nature and climate change.   Plus the hosts scan the horizon for the consequential moments in climate policy, with UNGA, Climate Week NYC and two COPs hurtling towards us.    NOTES AND RESOURCES   Outrage + Optimism, Live at Climate Week NYC Event Title: It's Time To Unite For Mission 2025 Event Details: Tuesday 24th September, 12:00 - 13:00 ET, Glasshouse (NYC) Event Description: Mission 2025 is a coalition of courageous leaders - mayors, governors, CEOs, investors, athletes, musicians and citizens - who are inviting governments to ratchet upcoming national climate plans (known as Nationally Determined Contributions) in line with the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5C. Described as ‘Defenders of Paris', Mission 2025 Partners arrive at Climate Week New York with a major update of new organizations who are ready to embolden governments to set more ambitious plans and accelerate implementation because they know this can unlock trillions in private investment, scale cheap renewable energy, support industries to compete in a low carbon economy, and safeguard living standards equitably for our people. As a live recorded Outrage+Optimism podcast, this flagship event will demonstrate how these plans can be upgraded by showcasing government and real economy leaders who are driving towards ‘positive tipping points' across the three themes of energy, nature & food, and finance.  The event is supported by the Mission 2025 Partners and convened by Groundswell – a collaboration between Global Optimism, Bezos Earth Fund and Systems Change Lab – together with the Climate Group.
