Podcasts about climate report

According to the latest European State of the Climate Report, 2024 was the hottest year on record for Europe and the fourth warmest year ever recorded in Ireland. As part of the global fight against climate change, Ireland has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 51% by 2030 — but are we really on track to meet that goal?In today's episode, we hear from three climate activists: CEO of the climate change NGO Opportunity Green Aoife O'Leary, marine environmentalist Flossie Donnelly and Catherine Cleary, co-founder of Pocket Forests. They discuss the changes needed at the top, the reasons to remain hopeful about the climate and why individual efforts, even small ones, still matter. Hosted on Acast.

Severe storms and flooding across Europe last year impacted just over four thousand people with 335 lives lost, while a total of 42,000 people were impacted by wildfires, according to a report today. To discuss the report, Professor John Sweeney, climatologist at NUI Maynooth.

Ireland is not prepared to deal with severe weather events. The Climate Council is warning the State isn't ready to deal with storms like Darragh and Eowyn - or others in the future. It says there needs to be serious planning and investment into infrastructure like water and electricity. Chair of the body's Adaptation Committee Peter Thorne, says the Government isn't ready for severe weather. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Deputy Leader of the Green Party, Inagh-based former Senator, Roisín Garvey. Photo(C): maq123 from Getty Images via canva

In December last year, a group of crossbenchers dialled into a secret call with the Albanese government. It was to get a briefing on a government-commissioned report on the national security risks posed by climate change – a report the government has been sitting on since early 2023. Described by one senator as “frankly terrifying”, the Climate Risk Assessment report has not been shared with the Greens, the Coalition, or even the relevant parliamentary committee on intelligence. Now, as the federal election looms, crossbenchers warn it’s “recklessly negligent” to keep the report’s findings hidden from Australians. Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Barlow, on why the government is keeping national security threats a secret.

Backed by scientific consensus, Anne-Sophie campaigns against deep-sea mining to raise awareness and spread the word on the disastrous consequences it would have for marine biodiversity, our climate and humanity.She emphasized the importance of individuals taking part in these campaings and the powerful impact that collective small actions have had in winning campaings against deep-sea mining so far.A critical decision on the future of deep-sea mining in the Pacific region will be made in July 2025, potentially allowing the industry to begin if there is no pushback. Anne-Sophie calls for Australia to join the moratorium against deep-sea mining to protect our oceans. Find Anne-Sophie Roux on social media: https://www.instagram.com/ansroux/  Professor Greta Pecl, Marine Ecologist and Director of the Centre for Marine Socioecology at the University of Tasmania.  With ocean temperatures rising due to climate change, species distribution are shifting worldwide. Professor Greta Pecl studies these changes in marine ecosystems to better understand their impacts biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and human health, well-being, and culture.Her research focuses on species redistribution - such as the decline and disappearance of kelp populations - and how marine ecosystems respond to climate change. She explores the interactions between ecological and social aspects of marine conservation and management, using socioecological approaches to adapt natural ressource management for changing climates.Professor Greta Pecl's work highlights the effects of species shifts on fisheries, Indigenous communities that rely on local fish populations, and more broadly, on all of us. She emphasizes the importance of sustainable fisheries management and how it can help mitigate these changes.Beyond her research, Professor Greta Pecl's love for the ocean brought her to actively engage in raising awareness about marine life and ecosystems, by advocating for citizen science, science communication and public engagement.She was a also lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Chane's (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report. To know more about Professor Greta Pecl's work: https://discover.utas.edu.au/Gretta.Pecl/aboutState of the Climate Report: http://www.bom.gov.au/state-of-the-climate/2024/documents/2024-state-of-the-climate.pdfRedmap program: https://www.redmap.org.au/about/redmap-team/Reef Life Survey: https://reeflifesurvey.com/ Song: Warrior by Meraki Mae 

Every few years, the federal government publishes the National Climate Assessment, which chronicles how climate change is transforming and devastating the United States. But the next installment of that report could be dialed back because of the Trump administration, which wants to significantly change how the report is made.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 133*Earth's Mantle: Two Distinct Domains RevealedGroundbreaking research has unveiled that the Earth's mantle is composed of two distinct and separate types of materials, forming independent African and Pacific domains. This discovery, published in Nature Geoscience, challenges previous assumptions of a chemically uniform mantle. The study highlights how these domains have been shaped by the formation and breakup of supercontinents over the past 700 million years, revealing the Earth has two chemically distinct hemispheres.*China's Ambitious Lunar PlansChina is accelerating its space ambitions, aiming to send its first taikonauts to the moon by 2030. The China Manned Space Agency plans to use its new Long March 10 rocket to transport taikonauts and a lunar lander to the moon's surface. This mission marks a significant step in China's lunar exploration, with plans to establish a joint base with Russia on the lunar surface by the early 2030s.*NASA's SpaceX Crew 8 Returns to EarthAfter a seven-month mission aboard the International Space Station, NASA's SpaceX Crew 8 has safely returned to Earth. During their mission, the crew conducted over 200 scientific investigations, including studies on space-based manufacturing, gene editing in Space environments, and plant growth in high radiation settings. These experiments aim to advance our understanding of long-duration Space missions and their potential applications.The Science ReportAustralia's climate continues to change with more extreme heat events and extended fire seasons. The latest State of the Climate Report highlights ongoing shifts in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and increasing temperatures. Meanwhile, a new study suggests vitamin K2 could help reduce night-time leg cramps, and the Australian Defence Force receives new Black Hawk helicopters amidst regional tensions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Als al het ijs van Antarctica smelt, stijgt de zeespiegel 57 meter. Dat zou Nederland bijna volledig onder water zetten. Gelukkig verwachten we niet dat de hele Zuidpool verdwijnt, maar... de Zuidpool is wel degelijk aan het smelten. Lange tijd dachten wetenschappers dat dit onmogelijk was: de Zuidpool leek onaantastbaar. Dat blijkt toch anders. Sophie de Roda Husman van de TU Delft onderzoek hoe het écht zit en legt uit dat één afbrekende ijsplaats een reeks aan gebeurtenissen in gang zet die het smeltproces alsmaar versnellen.Disclaimer: aan het eind van deze video wordt vermeld dat de aarde met 1,4 graden Celsius is opgewarmd ten opzichte van pre-industriële niveaus. Dit is echter geen gemiddelde, maar een piek gemeten in het warme jaar 2023. Volgens het laatste rapport van het IPCC is de gemiddelde wereldwijde temperatuurstijging tussen 2011-2020 in werkelijkheid ongeveer 1,1 graden Celsius. Sindsdien zien we echter wel een stijgende lijn in de opwarming van de aarde, waardoor 2024 rond de 1.4-1.5 graden warmer zou kunnen worden dan pre-industriële levels.

Natuklasan ng 2024 State of the Climate Report na patuloy na nagbabago ang klima ng Australia, na may higit pang mararanasang init, mas mahahaba at mas pabagu-bagong panahon ng sunog, mas matitinding pag-ulan, at tumataas na lebel ng dagat.

The 2024 State of the Climate Report has been released and warns that if action is delayed, the costs of adapting to an ever-changing climate will continue to increase. With Australia less than a decade away from an emissions tipping point, climate experts are urging leaders to step up actions to mitigate climate change.

“We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled.  We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis”.Those are the opening sentences of the 2024 State of the Climate Report, led in part by scientists at Oregon State University.  I'm willing to bet that not a single person listening to this needs to be convinced that fossil fuel caused climate change is a global emergency.I think the questions that we're all asking are, how bad is it?  Are we too late to act?  And if not, what can we do to force real action?  My guest today is Dr Jillian Gregg, one of the co-authors of the State of the Climate report.  Dr Gregg is also the CEO Terrestrial ecosystems research associates. This was a great conservation, and I hope you come away angry and inspired like I did.  Get in touch with your thoughts at michael@coastrange.org!2024 State of the Climate: https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/advance-article/doi/10.1093/biosci/biae087/7808595?login=false#485024408Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

What Does Extreme Heat Do?Since the pre-industrialized era, the global temperature has increased by about one degree Celsius. Although one degree may not seem significant, the consequences are increases in the intensity of heatwaves and drier conditions. In addition, in dense urban settings buildings trap and absorb this heat and cause even a higher area of heat relative to surrounding areas. The heat island effect is also exacerbated by the lack of greenery. With current fossil fuel emissions, increased heating of 1.5 degrees Celsius or more is predicted to happen globally within this decade. Among the most promising solutions to combat extreme heat in cities is the effort to promote natural systems – trees, creeks, and parks in cities and creating resilience hubs where people can stay cool and safe from dangerous temperatures.  Because heat impacts individuals in multiple ways, the response to extreme heat must also be multifaceted.  Responses to Extreme HeatThere are many possible responses to extreme heat. On an individual level, for example, when human body temperature rises to the point of heat stroke, individuals are subject to serious illness or in some cases, death.  Heat poses a particular threat when the body is physically unable to cool down. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 2000 and 2016, 125 million more people were exposed to heat waves than in the period before 2000. Actions individuals can take to reduce heat exposure include avoiding going outside at peak temperatures, reducing the heat inside of homes, and if reducing heat at home is not an option, going where air conditioning is available. For some vulnerable populations like farmworkers, staying inside where there is air conditioning is not an option. In some states, like California, a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit initiates the California's Heat Illness Prevention Standard, which is enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  The Standard requires that training, water, shade, and rest be provided to outdoor workers. Currently, there is no federal protection or policy for workers who may experience extreme heat. While a proposed rulemaking is in the works, it may take years before a final regulation is completed.How to Establish Resilience and Safe HubsIn the meantime, there are key actions that anyone can take, including something as simple as making extreme heat a topic of discussion as part of increasing awareness. By spreading awareness and recognizing the consequences of extreme heat, politicians and policymakers will be much more likely to pay attention to the issue and to community necessities. Global and local temperatures are continuing to rise, and, as a result, it is important to have community access to locations with air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and safety hubs particularly in communities whose residents do not have home air conditioners. Hubs may include libraries, churches, schools, and nonprofits which can be essential for providing both a cool place to shelter and a source of information and assistance.Shifting to more green spaces is also an important solution to mitigate the impacts of increased heat. In New York, the Highline is a great example of transforming an old historic freight rail line into a park filled with rich greenery. The incorporation of nature into a previously urban dense space provides the city with more trees and access to green space. Addressing extreme heat in cities requires new approaches and creative thinking for a suite of implementation strategies to provide cooling to the public and creation of green space. Who is Our GuestJeff Goodell is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet, which focuses on responses to extreme heat. Goodell is also a journalist who has been covering climate change for more than two decades at Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, and many other publications. He has a BA from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MFA from Columbia University in New York. Further ReadingLindsey and Dahlman, Climate Change: Global Temperatures (Climate.org, 2024)Dickie, Climate Report and Predictions (Reuters, 2023)California's Heat Illness Prevention Standard (Cal OSHA)Krueger, Heat Policy for Outdoor Workers (The Network for Public Health Law, 2023)Heat and Health (WHO, 2018)Heat Island Effect (The United States EPA)Climate Resilience Hubs (Communities Responding to Extreme Weather)Sustainable Practices | The Highline (The Highline) For a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/alleviating-urban-heat-traps-with-jeff-goodell/

Native Americans face a six-fold increased risk of flash floods because of climate change in the next two years. That is one of the predictions in a new study led by the University of Oklahoma. One of the study's authors says “Indigenous communities are grappling with an imminent climate crisis.” And Native groups are both praising and lambasting the Biden Administration's direction on oil leases on federal lands. Depending on where you stand, new policies are either protecting diminishing land, or denying Native people the jobs necessary to feed their families.

The latest government report on New Zealand's climate says people can expect bigger, heavier atmospheric rivers, like the one that brought record rainfall to Auckland in January. The report says infectious diseases and pests will be more likely to spread as the planet heats, and it's "almost certain" new pests will become established. In the oceans, hotter and more frequent marine heatwaves are likely, with marine heatwave conditions possibly becoming permanent by the end of the century. Climate change correspondent Eloise Gibson has been reading the report and speaks to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6338819809112

In 2021, John Englander was on Shorewords, talking about his book, Moving to Higher Ground. Much of the conversation was about options for adapting to the rise in sea level projected by the recently released 2021 IPCC Report. Recent news indicates that climate conditions have not improved since 2021. The 2022 State of the Climate Report found that global sea level was 4 inches above the 1993 baseline, floods in Southeast Asia were one of the costliest natural disasters in recorded history, destroying crops and property, causing over 1.700 fatalities, and affecting over 30 million people. This summer, ocean temperatures were up to 100 degrees F and floods are again in the news. This week, the United Nations released the 1st Climate Report Card since the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement that found that time is running out to keep the increase in global temperature at or below 1.5 degrees Celsius, the goal of the Paris Agreement. It seemed like a good time to revisit John Englander's book and his suggestions for adapting to rising sea level. 

Welcome to TCR This is HH your host. We are on episode number 384. Today's Topic is … Trees, Climate & the Biotic Pump The climate report is about separating truth from fiction in the climate space. There's a lot of fiction out there, a lot of storytelling, a lot of rhetoric. But we help you separate the rhetoric from the reality. Part 1. Why this topic (Trees, Climate and the Biotic Pump) Part 2. Fun facts about the biotic pump Part 3. What the UN says about Climate Change. Part 4. More about Trees & Climate Why this topic? Must understand it to understand climate. Little emphasized and rarely talked about. Describes how forests act to pull rain This topic encourages (or demands) support for preservation of our forests. Part 2. Fun Facts about the Biotic Pump. biotic pump theory shows how forests create and control winds coming up from the ocean and in doing so bring water to the forests further inland (or downwind?) The biotic pump describes how water vapor given off by trees can drive winds and these winds can cross continents and deliver this moisture to far off forests. Biotic pump theory has urged forest preservation, restoring hydrologic cycles and planetary cooling. Trees and plants slow the progress of rainfall. Trees and plants release water vapor Trees release VOCs (terpenoids) Trees release airborne microbes (aerobacter). These facilitate condensation. Condensation creates a vacuum. The Vacuum draws in air from elsewhere, and thus continues the process. Rain falls more easily into a cool, moist area. Trees and plants create increasingly healthy soil. Trees transpire lots of water. This has a cooling effect. Transpiration puts water back into the atmosphere. Rainfall helps plant growth, thus increasing forest cover. Vegetation (trees and plants) create a more moist environment, due to shade, but also due to evaporative cooling. When sunlight hits an area not covered with plants, it tends to heat up. But plant cover takes the same sunshine and uses it to cool the area down. Water has a high specific heat, meaning it is slow to take on heat when it's warming up, and slow to release heat when it's cooling down. Tree canopies slow the progression of rain to the soil surface and soften the impact. Plants create organic matter that create soil carbon, enhancing soil structure for the infiltration and storage of water. When there is forest cover, this protects soil from erosion. trees and plants photosynthesize sugars providing a foundational ingredient of life and growth. Photosynthesis also produces oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the air. Trees also provide food and timber, and foster biodiversity. Forested lands provide ample water for human and animal life. (and plant life, fungi, microbes) Rajendra Singh, the Waterman of India, led a movement that restored several rivers in Rhajastan increasing vegetation cover from 2% to 48%, cooling the region by 2o Celsius, and increasing rainfall.[17],[19]

Today's Topic is … Climate Change and the EPA. What does the EPA have to say about climate change? The purpose of TCR is to bring clarity and sanity to the conversation about climate change. In my opinion and observation, we are being misled constantly about climate change. The most authoritative voices in this space have succeeded in oversimplifying the problem and overcomplicating the solution. They have oversimplified the problem by making climate change, and the effects of climate change, including flooding, drought and wildfires all about and excess of greenhouse gases, which are, at best, a partial cause of these phenomena. Flooding, drought and wildfires have multiple causes. Notably they are caused by how we treat the land, not just what we put into the air. They have overcomplicated the solution by proposing this massive transition to so-called renewable energy, which can only be accomplished by pouring countless billions of dollars into solar energy, wind energy and electric vehicles, which arguably will not go very far to address the real problems. The real solutions, IMO, involve moving decisively toward a real democracy, a government of, by and for the people, instead of a government of, by and for those individuals with the power and the money to buy the media and buy government at all levels. If we had a government of, by and for the people, we could enact public policies that function for our benefit instead of policies, like solar power and wind power, excessive militaries, monopolistic media enterprises that only benefit a few elites. So let's look at what the Environmental Protection Agency has to say about climate change.

Today's Topic is … The REAL Deal about climate change. Part 1: How trees and forests cool the climate and cause rain. Part 2: What are droughts really about? Part 3: What is flooding really about? Part 4: What is the UN saying about the effects of climate change? The purpose of TCR is to bring clarity and sanity to the conversation about climate change. We are being lied to constantly about climate change. Of course powerful lies are not completely false. They contain an element of truth. It's true that climate change is caused in part by GHG. But is that the biggest part. And should reducing GHG be our sole and exclusive focus. And do the people who are bellyaching about GHG have a plan for dealing with them? I say no to all these questions. GHG are a symptom of much deeper problems, scientifically and politically. And the people who are trying to scare us into reducing GHG do not have a plan for dealing with them. My critiques of the prevailing narrative. Greenhouse gases are not the only cause of global warming. Fossil fuels are not the only cause of greenhouse gases. Lowering fossil fuels is not going to happen under any of the proposals currently being discussed. The main opportunities facing us are to restore Our plant matter Our water cycles Our ecosystems Opportunities (beyond the scope of this talk) To lower our total energy To live within our ecological limits To look at WHO is making these decisions and decide whether or not we want a democracy or an oligarchy.

Critiquing the United Nations' statements and "analysis" as to the causes of climate change.

In this episode, we look at the website of NASA to see what they have to say about the effects of climate change on the United States. Here is a chance to look at what real scientists are saying about climate change. This is a critique of the mainstream climate conversation. Unfortunately, the mainstream climate conversation overemphasizes some issues, like greenhouse gases, while ignoring important issues such as plants, ecosystems and water cycles. This episode includes a thorough discussion of how plants, ecosystems and water cycles could solve most of our climate woes, including warming, flooding, drought and wildfires.
