Weather forecasts and climate research could be threatened by the recent Trump administration job cuts at federal agencies.The National Weather Service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, cut hundreds of jobs in late February. And NOAA is tasked with cutting an additional 10 percent of its workforce, according to PBS NewsHour. If those cuts move forward, nearly 20 percent of NOAA's 13,000-person workforce would be eliminated. Fewer workers could mean less data that meteorologists and climate researchers depend on to plan and keep people safe when severe weather hits.MPR News host Angela Davis and her guest talk about how this could affect Minnesotans.

New book traces 75-year history of U.S. military climate research

By creating the Snow, Ice and Permafrost Research Establishment (SIPRE) in 1949, the U.S. military became one of the earliest climate research groups on the planet. The group's mission was to study the science and engineering of the warming Arctic and the national security implications that could follow. University of Vermont professor and geoscientist Paul Bierman wrote about this in his book, “When the Ice Is Gone: What a Greenland Ice Core Reveals About Earth's Tumultuous History and Perilous Future.”He spoke to MPR chief meteorologist Paul Huttner for Climate Cast. The transcript below has been lightly edited for clarity and length.How and when did the U.S. military become interested with climate changes in the Arctic? They actually got interested during World War II, when they occupied parts of Greenland in part to rescue bomber and fighter pilots who'd landed on the ice and realized how ill-equipped they were to operate in frozen environments. They really stepped it up, though, in the early to mid-50s, fighting the Cold War in the Arctic.From the military's point of view, climate change is important in variety of ways. It's certainly important in the Arctic, where the very stability of the ground they're working on is questionable, but it's also very important in the sense that when you melt ice sheets, you raise sea level. That has huge implications for human migration around the world, and for things as simple as five of the U.S. aircraft carriers that are berthed in Virginia — which is a sea-level-rise hot spot and will find their docking facilities under water in the next couple decades. What does the military mean by the phrase ‘climate resilience is force resilience'?They mean that in the sense of trying to reduce the risks to active military, reduce the number of global conflicts that will come from climate change, and be prepared for the eventualities of bigger storms, higher temperatures — all those sorts of things that affect maneuverability on the ground to the safety of soldiers. So in one way, moving toward renewable energy takes them away from dependence on fossil fuels and the need to transport those fossil fuels. Another idea that jumped out at me in your book is that for the military, climate change is ‘too costly to ignore.' There are estimates that suggest if we let sea level rise uncontrollably, which would be from the melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, it could cost the global economy trillions of dollars in losses because of the flooding that's going to occur around every coastline. So the military is also looking, of course, at the prices of fossil fuels. We're at a point now where solar and wind are competitive, if not cheaper, than typical fossil fuel energy sources. The U.S. Army drilled the first deep ice core in Greenland. How old was it, and what did they find?The military drilled the ice core through almost a mile of ice, and then they drilled through about 12 feet of frozen soil. The ice itself goes back about 100,000 years, but the frozen soil takes us back millions.What's most important about what they found in that frozen soil is that the upper portion of it — dated to about 400,000 years ago — is full of plant fossils and fossils of insects. Those are important because they are very strong evidence that the ice sheet there had to vanish, and when it vanished, a mile of ice disappeared. If we don't control climate change and global warming, at this point, we're going to repeat the past, and a mile of ice is going to melt again.

Intro with clips - Prof. Jason Box (Geological Survey of Denmark & Greenland), Prof. Kevin Anderson (Tyndall Centre for Climate Research), Prof. Heidi Sevestre (AMAP, Arctic Council), Joshua Aponsem (Green Africa Youth Organization, Ghana), Anni Pokela (Operatatio Arktis, Finland) Lord Rowan Williams (Fmr. Archbishop of Canterbury). I started recording interviews on geoengineering over ten years ago and the thought back then that in the mid 2020's nothing would have been achieved in global emissions reduction, would have been too depressing to contemplate. Yet here we are. The Paris Agreement was meant to steer the world towards a cleaner brighter future but it has been ignored. Emissions from forest fires and melting permafrost are way beyond their thresholds and extreme weather impacts are testing infrastructure and ecosystems all over the planet.  Climate activists are even being locked up with cruel prison sentences for trying to act for the collective good. I discuss this in my next episode with XR cofounder, Gail Bradbrook. The UN Climate summit, COP29 will be held in one of the most significant cradles of the fossil fuel industry - Baku in Azerbaijan. There is no expressed intention to reduce emissions but instead the the COP29 President-Designate Mukhtar Babayev has a (quote) a 'vision to enhance ambition and enable action.' - whilst the widespread extraction of fossil fuels continues unabated. With all this in mind, the conversation of engineering interventions to try and delay the most destructive impacts of extreme climate, is moving along. It is controversial and divisive and yet voices from across the world, including in the Global South are saying that we need to take the research seriously.  In this interview with Dr Shaun Fitzgerald, Director of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, we discuss the controversy and the viability of schemes. The news broke during our recording that the UK government agency, ARIA, have put out a call for proposals, offering £56.8m in grant funding for geoengineering projects. The largest government funding of it's kind. The failure of the global negotiations is discussed in my book COPOUT - How governments have failed the people on climate that is available worldwide in paperback and audiobook format. Sadly, the failure of the 3 decades of global climate summits means we are getting much deeper into the era of consequences. Central Europe is experiencing deathly storms and flooding while the smoke from Portugal's forest fires are spreading a toxic blanket over Spain and beyond. From the Amazon to Asia, ecosystems and infrastructure are being pummelled by natures response to carbon pollution. Next week I will be recording a 3 way interview with Dr Paul Davies from the UK Met Office and Dr Hayley Fowler from Newcastle University about their recent research paper titled 'A new conceptual model for understanding and predicting life-threatening rainfall extremes' - which is both important and fascinating.

The conference witnessed the announcement of 469 new commitments aimed at protecting the ocean, demonstrating a strong global dedication to marine conservation. These commitments encompass a wide array of initiatives, including the establishment of marine protected areas, sustainable fisheries management, and addressing the impacts of climate change on the ocean. A key highlight of the conference was the substantial funding raised for ocean protection. A total of $11.3 billion was pledged towards various ocean conservation projects, indicating a significant financial investment in safeguarding marine ecosystems. This funding will play a crucial role in supporting the implementation of the commitments made at the conference, ensuring tangible actions are taken to protect the ocean. The commitments made at the Our Oceans Conference reflect a growing acknowledgment of the urgent need to address the threats facing the ocean. From banning harmful fishing practices like bottom trawling to supporting research on ocean and climate interactions, the commitments cover a wide range of issues crucial to ocean health. The conference also emphasized the importance of international collaboration in achieving meaningful progress in ocean conservation. Moving forward, it is essential to ensure that the commitments made at the conference are effectively implemented and monitored. The positive success rate of previous commitments reaching their goals, as mentioned in the episode, provides optimism for the future of these initiatives. By building on the momentum generated at the conference and fostering strong partnerships between governments, organizations, and stakeholders, we can work towards a more sustainable and resilient ocean ecosystem. Overall, the Our Oceans Conference in Athens, Greece, served as a platform for global leaders to unite and showcase their commitment to protecting the ocean. With 469 new commitments and $11.3 billion raised for ocean protection, the conference laid a strong foundation for advancing marine conservation efforts and ensuring a healthier future for our oceans. One of the key takeaways from the podcast episode is the significant progress made at the Our Oceans Conference in terms of commitments and funding to protect the ocean. However, despite these advancements, there is still a long way to go to achieve the goal of protecting 30% of land and water by 2030. Currently, only 7.9% of the global ocean is protected, with only 4.2% being fully or highly protected, meaning no extractive activities are allowed within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The episode highlights the slow pace of progress in reaching the 30% protection target. The host country of the conference, Greece, still offers leases to oil and gas companies, indicating conflicting interests and challenges in transitioning away from harmful practices. Additionally, the exploration of deep-sea mining by countries like Norway, the Cook Islands, and Japan raises concerns about potential environmental impacts on the ocean ecosystem. The episode emphasizes the need for increased momentum and accelerated efforts to achieve the 30% protection goal by 2030. While commitments and funding are essential, the completion rate of commitments needs to improve beyond the current 72% success rate. The episode underscores the importance of inclusive decision-making, strong policy initiatives, and effective conservation projects to drive progress towards ocean protection. In conclusion, while the Our Oceans Conference showcased positive steps towards ocean conservation, there is a clear recognition that more work needs to be done to meet the ambitious target of protecting 30% of land and water by 2030. The episode's analysis highlights the challenges and complexities involved in achieving this goal and underscores the importance of continued dedication and action to safeguard the ocean for future generations. Concerns in Marine Conservation The episode highlights several concerning issues in marine conservation that were discussed at the Our Oceans Conference. One major concern is the practice of bottom trawling in marine protected areas (MPAs). Bottom trawling is a destructive fishing method that scrapes along the ocean floor, causing habitat destruction and impacting marine biodiversity. Despite efforts to establish MPAs for conservation purposes, the allowance of bottom trawling within these areas undermines their effectiveness in protecting marine ecosystems. Another significant concern raised in the episode is the issue of deep-sea mining. Countries like Norway, the Cook Islands, and Japan are exploring the possibility of deep-sea mining in their national waters. However, the environmental impacts of deep-sea mining remain largely unknown. The deep-sea contains unique and diverse habitats that play crucial roles in the ocean ecosystem. The potential damage from deep-sea mining could have far-reaching consequences on marine biodiversity and ecosystem health. Furthermore, the slow progress in ratifying the High Seas Treaty is a cause for concern. The treaty aims to establish regulations for activities in the high seas, beyond national jurisdiction. While 89 countries have signed the treaty, only four have ratified it so far. The delay in ratification hinders the implementation of crucial measures to protect the high seas and promote sustainable ocean governance. These issues underscore the challenges and complexities in marine conservation efforts. Addressing concerns such as bottom trawling in MPAs, deep-sea mining, and the ratification of international agreements like the High Seas Treaty requires coordinated efforts from governments, organizations, and stakeholders. It is essential to prioritize sustainable practices, protect marine habitats, and enhance international cooperation to safeguard the health and biodiversity of our oceans.

Can concerts mobilize music fans to climate action? From signing a petition or voting, to participating in a protest - what actions are fans most likely to take when their favorite artists ask them to? Over the last year, Planet Reimagined's Climate Active Fellows, Caleb Johnson and Li-Ya Mar have been tackling these questions through their project “Amplify: How to Build a Fan-Based Climate Movement.”  Planet Reimagined is a nonprofit organization founded by AJR bassist Adam Met and human rights activist Mila Rosenthal, which focuses on translating climate research into meaningful change. In this podcast, Caleb and Li-Ya talk with AMT Lab Lead Researcher Hannah Brainard about their research process, sharing some key findings and next steps.    What's next for Amplify? Planet Reimagined will implement the Amplify recommendations during AJR's 43-city nationwide “The Maybe Man” tour this summer. At arenas across the U.S., they will connect fans with meaningful local action opportunities at each show while REVERB helps to reduce the environmental impact of the tour.  Additional Links: Learn more about the project: Amplify: How to Build a Fan-Based Climate Movement Read the full report.  Watch a CNN segment about the project with co-founder Adam Met.

COP28 has come to a close. Since the final day of the conference, we've seen both a number of headlines noting a historic decision and news of climate injustices at this year's event. So what are the most critical takeaways from COP28? To answer, we brought on three guests that attended the conference to take a deep dive into the biggest issues, the decisions that were made, and what comes next. Nina Lakhani is a Senior Reporter for Guardian US, who spent the last two weeks covering COP28. Nina discusses what the final text of the decision means, what was and wasn't accomplished on addressing mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage, and what this could mean for the COP process going forward. Then, Aderonke Ige and Rachel Rose Jackson join the show to discuss how the influence of the fossil fuel industry shaped COP28, what countries were most responsible for blocking progress, and why COP is still an essential event for activists, campaigners, organizers, and climate justice advocates to show up to and fight. Aderonke Ige is the Associate Director for Corporate Accountability & Public Participation Africa. Rachel Rose Jackson is the Director of Climate Research and Policy at Corporate Accountability.

Every year, billions of dollars are spent worldwide on carbon offsets, and the size of the market is expected to grow substantially over the next decade. But do carbon offset projects actually do what they're intended to do in the first place, which is lower carbon dioxide emissions and help communities around the world avoid worsening climate disasters from a warming planet?  Researchers at Corporate Accountability and journalists from The Guardian teamed up to answer this question and to dive deep into the claims of 50 of the largest carbon offset projects in the world. Rachel Rose Jackson, Director of Climate Research and Policy at Corporate Accountability, joins the show today to talk about what they found and what else Corporate Accountability is doing to protect our planet and people around the world from extractive and exploitative companies.

The live music industry is booming. With global growth in concerts and festivals, more and more of us are enjoying our favourite bands and artists live. The music industry now relies on touring for money – encouraging more and more bands to travel and fans to see them. This is causing emissions to soar just like the private jets. So what can be done? Jordan Dunbar discovers the problem isn't coming from who you might think and that this could be a climate opportunity rather than a problem.

Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband and Geoff Lloyd

Hello! This week we're talking about climate misinformation and how we tackle it. Mis- and disinformation about the climate crisis is not new: since the 1970s industry players and fossil fuel giants have been denying the reality of climate change in order to sow confusion and polarise public support for taking action. Delay is the new denial, according to Jennie King, who talks to us about some of the arguments used to delay action on climate change. Professor Sander van der Linden tells us about the psychology of misinformation spread and why social media has only turbocharged it. Finally, Sean Buchan talks to us about the grassroots campaign Stop Funding Heat which aims to make climate misinformation unprofitable.Plus: Geoff goes on a gastronomic journey with Ed's latest cooking attempt.GuestsJennie King, Head of Climate Research and Policy, Institute for Strategic Dialogue (@jkingy, @ISDglobal)Professor Sander van der Linden, Professor of Social Psychology, University of Cambridge (@Sander_vdLinden)Sean Buchan, Campaign Director, Stop Funding Heat (@seanforachange, @stopfundingheat)More infoWhat is climate mis-/disinformation?Deny, deceive, delay: documenting and responding to climate disinformation at COP26 and beyond Report from the ISDTaxonomy of climate contrarian claims Academic paper: Coan, Boussalis, Cook, NankoDiscourses of Climate Delay Comic by Céline KellerClimate Action Against Disinformation Pre-order a copy of Sander's book Foolproof: Why we fall for misinformation and how to build immunityStop Funding Heat CampaignOther resourcesDeSmog Journalism to clear the 'PR Pollution' clouding the science and solutions to climate changeSkeptical science Website set up by academic Jon Cook to examine the science and arguments of climate scepticism Hosted on Acast.

For decades university departments, liberally lubricated with fossil fuel dollars, have been turning out research that adds a scholarly veneer to the industry's policy agenda. First that was opposing the regulation of oil and gas; now it's promoting carbon capture so they can keep selling their product. Students and faculty are shining a light on fossil fuel infiltration of academia and organizing to ban fossil fuel dollars from climate and energy research. We talk with undergrads and PhD students at Stanford and George Washington University about their research showing how fossil fueled research is skewing climate policy and how they are organizing to stop it.

Researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology have developed a popular app for birders called eBird.  The app allows birders to track and and follow bird sightings, with some birders then traveling to locations of a recent sighting to hopefully catch a glimpse for themself. But the app also eBird also serves an important function for researchers.  As eBird recently logged its 1 billionth bird sighting, it is crowdsourcing massive amounts of data which provides valuable information for researchers who can then better understand the movement of bird populations and what they can tell us about climate change. We speak with Amanda Rodewald, professor and senior director for Center of Avian Population Studies at Cornell University, about eBird, and what birds can teach us about climate change.
