Beyond the ‘Climate Wars'?: Australia heads to the polls

Outrage and Optimism

Australia heads to the polls this weekend - with climate firmly on the ballot. Is the country ready to lose its reputation as the battleground of the climate wars? And are we about to see a lasting shift in a nation that has for years been torn between its sunlight and its coal?As a pivotal election looms, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson examine what's at stake for one of the world's highest per-capita emitters. After months of polling ahead, the opposition Coalition now faces a late surge from the governing Labor Party, with the Greens, Teals and independents all likely to play a crucial role. The result could reinforce, roll-back or reshape domestic climate policy, and determine whether Australia emerges as a global climate leader at a time when others are stepping away from the stage.To understand what's going on, the team calls up friend of the show Dean Bialek, Founder and Managing Director of The Pacific Project. Together, they explore the opportunities for Australia in the energy transition, the narratives and dynamics driving this election, and the country's potential role as a regional leader as it hopes to host 2026's COP31 with other Pacific nations.So, does Australia have a role to play in reigniting regional and global climate momentum? And how will this election shape the climate fight - both within and beyond its borders.Learn more

ABOUT THOSE FIRED CLIMATE SCIENTISTS So I saw this breathless story about how Trump sacked all the climate scientists who were supposed to create a required report for Congress on Climate Change and immediately I suspected what was up by the people quoted in this story. When you start by talking to the Environmental Defense Fund I know it's only left wingers working on this thing, and they are left wingers who rely on government money to continue their research so OF COURSE they are going to say we're all going to die. Then I saw this column by my new BFF Dr. William Wielicki about it and so he's on today at 1pm to talk about what this really means and what should happen next.

Climate scientist and policy expert Anna Farro Henderson embarks on a remarkable narrative journey in Core Samples: A Climate Scientist's Experiments in Politics and Motherhood (U Minnesota Press, 2025), exploring how science is done, discussed, legislated, and imagined. Through stories both raucous and poignant--of far-flung expeditions, finding artistic inspiration in research, and traversing the systemic barriers women and mothers face in science and politics--she brings readers into the daily rhythms and intimacies of scientific research and political negotiation. Grounded in her experiences as a climate scientist, an environmental policy advisor to Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Governor Mark Dayton, and a constant juggler of the many roles and responsibilities of professional moms, Henderson's eclectic, unconventional essays range from observations, confessions, and meditations on lab and fieldwork to a packing list for a trip to the State Capitol and a lactation diary. Readers are invited on voyages as far afield as the Trinity nuclear test site in New Mexico, the Juneau Icefield in Alaska, and a meteor crater in Ghana--and as close to home as a town hall meeting in America's corn belt. A love letter to science and a bracing (and sometimes hilarious) portrait of the many obstacles women, mothers, and people digging for truth navigate, Core Samples illuminates the messy, contradictory humanity of our scientific and political institutions. Bringing us behind the closed doors of discovery and debate, Henderson exposes the flaws in research institutions, the halls of government, and the role of science in policy, yet she shows how each crack is also an invitation for camaraderie, creativity, and change.

Ancient human ancestors didn't eat meat, and so couldn't build big brainsOne of the main reasons scientists think we became so smart is because at some point in our evolutionary past, our ancestors started eating energy-dense meat to fuel the growth of large brains. However it hasn't been clear when this started. Using a new technology, scientists were able to analyze the tooth enamel of seven 3.5 million year old Australopithecines to directly measure their meat consumption. Tina Lüdecke, from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, said it revealed they were primarily herbivores so meat eating would have had to come later in our evolutionary history. Their study was published in the journal Science. Building a robot bee that could one day pollinate cropsBees do an incredibly important job pollinating crops and wild plants. Now scientists in the US are trying to emulate their skills with a tiny robot bee that has all the agility and ability of the real insect. They hope eventually they can be used in indoor factory farms where real bees can't survive.  Kevin Chen, associate professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at M.I.T and PhD candidate Suhan Kim were a part of this project. Their research was published in the journal Science Robotics.We are made of star stuff – but how did it get here?Elements like carbon, nitrogen and oxygen that are essential to life were forged in supernovae billions of years ago. Now new research is helping to explain how these elements – especially essential carbon – were concentrated in such a way as to be plentifully available for the chemistry of life. The study, led in part by astronomer Trystyn Berg, discovered a cosmic conveyer belt funneling carbon in and out of our galaxy over billions of years. The research was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.Australia's vanishingly rare marsupial mole gets a genetic checkupIn the southern desert of Australia, there lives an elusive and unique animal - the marsupial mole. It lives under the sand and is so rare that very few people have ever seen it. Scientists have now published the very first genetic research on this animal in the journal Science Advances, thanks to tissue samples donated by a local museum. Sarah Lucas is a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Münster, Germany, and was part of the team. A climate researcher makes the case for scientist-activistsThe stereotype of a scientist is a dispassionate, objective and neutral seeker of nature's truths, and many think that this makes a career in science incompatible with political activism. Canadian climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe thinks that this is a mistake. She sees her role more like that of a physician for the planet – diagnosing its ills and advocating for the health of her patient, and her patient's inhabitants. She recently co-authored a paper in the journal Nature Climate Action arguing her case.

The events of the past year have reinforced the logic of the Ten Across initiative. In the context of the hottest year in recorded history, the Ten Across geography witnessed ongoing drought, a supercharged Atlantic hurricane season, devastating wildfires, and a significant loss of homeownership or insurance safety nets for its residents.  As we enter 2025, with staggering urban wildfires still raging in the Los Angeles area and a new federal administration soon to be sworn in; it is evident that this year will be a complex, unpredictable, if not historic year. This underscores the urgency of continuing our dialogues and collaborations on climate resilience. We believe the Ten Across region holds critical insights to understanding our present challenges and the foreseeable future as a nation as climate change and other global forces converge.  In this episode, we contextualize major issues surfaced in 2024 and their significance within our region to set the stage for conversations in the year ahead. While we cannot highlight every guest and topic, we would like to sincerely thank all who engaged with us and shared their insights last year.

A timely new report by climate scientists at the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Met Eireann and the Marine Institute addresses a research gap in previous regional climate projections for Ireland which showed large uncertainty for certain climate projections, such as precipitation. The Updated High-Resolution Climate Projections for Ireland increase confidence in climate projections for Ireland which, if realised, will impact Ireland's economy, society and environment in dramatic ways. Dr Paul Nolan, Climate Scientist, ICHEC lead author of the report said: "It is imperative that planners and policymakers are adequately informed about future climate change so that appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures can be implemented. This research will inform national policy and further our understanding of the impacts of climate change in Ireland at a local scale." Key Findings: What the Future Holds for Ireland's Climate The updated projections offer a clearer picture of the climate changes Ireland can expect. Below are some of the key findings of the report: Temperature: Near-surface temperatures are projected to rise by 0.5-0.7°C (2021-2050) under a low-emission scenario (SSP1-2.6), and by 2.4-3.0°C (2071-2100) under a high-emission scenario (SSP5-8.5), with the largest increases observed in eastern Ireland. Extreme Weather: Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent, while frost and ice days will decrease. The rainfall climate is projected to become more variable across extremes; both dry spells and extreme rainfall events will intensify. Precipitation: The rainfall climate will become more variable across the seasons. Winter and autumn months are projected to become wetter, while summer rainfall is expected to decrease by up to 8% by the end of the century. Snowfall: Snowfall is expected to decline sharply, with reductions of up to 84% by 2100 under the highest emissions scenario. Growing Seasons: The length of the growing season is projected to increase, benefiting agriculture with warmer soil temperatures and improved conditions for crop production. Energy: Wind energy potential is projected to decrease, particularly in summer, while photovoltaic power is expected to decline across all seasons. Heating Demand: With warmer winters, heating demand in Ireland is expected to decrease over the coming decades. What's new in the latest report? The research improves on previous research by simulating the future climate at a higher spatial resolution (4 km) using the most up-to-date regional climate models to downscale an ensemble of CMIP6 global datasets under the new SSP-RCP emission scenarios. An increased ensemble size of projections was completed which allows for a more accurate quantification of climate change uncertainty. For example, there is disagreement in the ensembles for projections of annual rainfall, so this projection is assigned lower confidence. Conversely, there is high agreement in the ensemble of temperature projections, and as such we assign high confidence to this projection. Furthermore, the current report provides projections for additional climate variables and derived metrics that are critically important to biodiversity and to key Irish sectors, including agriculture, health, energy and transport. The SSP-RCP scenario-based national projections are supplemented with global warming threshold (GWT) scenario projections. These alternative scenarios have garnered substantial interest since the 2015 Paris Agreement (a United Nations treaty in which 195 nations pledged to tackle climate change), which aims to limit global warming to "well below" 2°C by the end of the century, and "pursue efforts" to keep warming within the safer limit of 1.5°C (UN, 2015). For example, the projections under the "1.5°C GWT scenario" show projections over Ireland in a world that is 1.5°C warmer than the period 1850-1900 (Figure 5). Note that temperature pr...

Around the world countries are tackling climate change with net zero targets. This involves offsetting carbon emissions through other initiatives such as planting trees or using technology that pulls carbon dioxide out of the air.  Despite the drive to meet these targets, carbon in the atmosphere is continuing to rise, and even with the current efforts to offset them, they aren't predicted to drop.  Climate scientist and honorary academic at the University of Auckland, Kevin Trenberth says that world leaders should scrap these net zero targets and instead focus on ‘real zero', eliminating fossil fuels entirely.  Producer Evie spoke to Trenberth about what the ‘real zero' initiative involves, how it differs from net zero, and how realistic it is for it to be adopted both in Aotearoa and globally.

In this episode we welcome Climate Scientist and DevelopHer, Dr Heather Stevens! Heather takes us into how climate change is shaping property investment and development, with a focus on fire and flood risks. She points out how crucial it is to factor in these risks when purchasing or developing properties, as they can heavily influence building requirements, insurance premiums, and even interest rates. She also stresses the growing need for climate-adapted housing designs, especially when it comes to managing extreme heat and its impact on tenants. Heather encourages landlords to offer affordable energy solutions, like solar panels, to help reduce energy poverty. The discussion highlights how climate change is affecting housing and the importance of creating homes that are both sustainable and resilient. While transitioning to greener practices, such as moving away from gas and embracing renewable energy, comes with challenges, it's essential. From solar panels, to batteries and water tanks, Heather covers the big role these play in cutting energy costs. We also chat about the potential for investing in areas that are less vulnerable to climate change impacts. We can't hide from these issues - they affect us all in one way or another - so this is a great listen to get across some risks that currently exist, as well as future considerations you should keep in mind.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I welcome back Elizabeth Adalian, who you will remember guested back on Episode 38 of the show, and Dr. Nigel Hargreaves, a Homeopath and Climate Scientist. Elizabeth has been a practising homeopathy for over thirty years and has taught homeopathy in the UK and in different countries around the world.  Joining Elizabeth is Dr. Nigel Hargreaves who has a background in engineering, climate change and sustainability, and carried out research on energy systems for his PhD.  Nigel met Elizabeth in the 1980s after working in Asia and Africa and benefitted from her life-saving treatment with homeopathy from illness he had developed. His career in homeopathy started in the 1990s  at the London School of Homeopathy where he studied for his Licentiate and later started a practice focussed on helping people recover from drug and alcohol addiction.  Now working in the fields of energy decarbonisation and environmental regeneration, Nigel believes homeopathy has a critical role to play in building mental, emotional and physical disease resilience as we face increasingly threatening and complex global challenges.  I ask both Elizabeth and Nigel about their new book, Flourishing Against the Odds: Homeopathy for Our Rapidly Changing World. Flourishing Against the Odds: Homeopathy for Our Rapidly Changing World, presents a homeopathic toolkit not only for professional homeopaths, but also one which will appeal to other therapeutic modalities. It is aimed at treating individuals facing the challenges arising from the impacts of major events in today's rapidly changing world. These traumatising events include the manifold instances of population  displacement from wars, toxic environmental pollution, the Covid-19 pandemic with the associated mental and emotional fallout from authoritarian lockdowns, as well as the growing threat of climate change and algorithmic media which has eroded trust and driven political and identity polarisation. This new book offers a guide to practitioners working in contemporary times to support thriving in their patients, within a world of disarray and disconnection. A transgenerational practice model is presented in Part 1 and a Materia Medica of homeopathic remedies in Part 2, selected to help readers navigate their way in repairing and restoring the health of their patients to flourish against the odds.

They've also become a world famous tourist attraction and can be found in multiple outdoor locations across the small island. They are heavy and huge - sizes range from 1 to 20 metres tall.

Climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann won a defamation lawsuit against two conservative writers last week.The verdict was 12 years in the making. In 2012 writers Rand Simberg and Mark Steyn accused Mann of manipulating his data related to his famous 1998 “hockey stick” graph, which depicts rising global temperatures after the industrial revolution. Simberg compared him to former Penn State football coach and convicted child sex abuser Jerry Sandusky in a blog post for a libertarian think tank. Steyn later referenced Simberg's article in a National Review piece, calling Mann's work “fraudulent.”Reviews by Penn State (Mann's home institution at the time) and the National Science Foundation, found no scientific wrongdoing. And in fact the iconic graph has since been supported by numerous studies.What does this ruling signal about the public's understanding of climate change research?

In this episode, Tudor welcomes climate scientist Patrick Brown to discuss the biases in scientific publishing and media coverage of climate change. Brown reveals that high-profile scientific journals tend to favor studies supporting the mainstream narrative of the Paris Agreement and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They also discuss the need for practical solutions to current issues, such as wildfires, alongside long-term climate stabilization efforts. Brown criticizes the narrow focus on negative climate impacts in literature and media, advocating for a broader perspective that includes the benefits of fossil fuel use and potential alternative solutions. Despite facing backlash, Brown emphasizes the importance of presenting different strategies and considering all alternatives for a cleaner energy transition.
