DR. PETER RIDD INTERVIEW REEF REBEL OF THE CLIMATE WARS The XCandidates EPISODE 123 Steven and Adam are joined by Dr. Peter Ridd, arguably Australia's leading expert on the Great Barrier Reef and an outspoken opponent of the prevailing ‘climate narrative'. Firstly, Dr. Ridd makes comments on today's assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, before Dr. Ridd updates us on the health of the reef, claiming that we currently have record high coral cover for the third year in a row. Dr. Ridd also debunks claim from other scientists and news sources that claim the reef is dying due to mass bleaching. Dr. Ridd also discusses nuclear energy and why he was energised by the recent announcement of the Coalition's nuclear energy policy by Opposition Leader Peter Dutton. Finally, Dr. Ridd expresses his opinion on the looming Misinformation and Disinformation laws being proposed by the Albanese Government.

A climate blog set up probably a decade ago was rather difficult as it was challenging to find relevant news stories, until shifting to podcasting about three years ago and now stories about climate change are everywhere - the landscape has changed dramatically. Choosing what's relevant is now the challenge, deciding what to leave out, rather than put in is the dilemma. In line with that, is the challenge of covering what's happening, so doing that with the hope of providing a reasonable and decent coverage of local and international events means I need help. I need someone prepared to make contact with potential interviewees, conduct the interview, assemble the relevant episode and submit it for publication. I'm unsure how that would work, but contact me, Robert McLean, and we can talk. The Leader of the Opposition in Australia, Peter Dutton, has re-ignited the climate wars with the nuclear proposition, and that has been fact-checked.

China's second most powerful leader has arrived in Australia. Wine exports and cute pandas will be the focus in Adelaide before the more difficult issues are tackled in Canberra.

In this episode of New Politics, we explore the troubling decision by the National Anti-Corruption Commission to not pursue investigations against six public officials previously involved with the Coalition government's Robodebt scheme. Despite significant public and political expectations spurred by the scathing findings of the Robodebt Royal Commission, the NACC's decision is a severe disappointment, a failure at its first major test.We look at the ramifications of this decision, which has not only disillusioned many affected by the Robodebt scheme—a policy that has been linked to immense financial and personal distress—but also raised questions about the effectiveness and independence of the NACC. With over $1.8 billion lost and profound societal impacts, including over 2,000 suicides, the decision to forego investigation into a scheme deemed neither fair nor legal by many scholars and legal analysts has sparked significant public outcry.Further complicating the political landscape are the revived “climate wars,” with Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton's controversial statements on withdrawing from the Paris agreement and refusing to set new emissions targets unless elected. We unpack the potential political and environmental consequences of such positions, especially in light of the significant electoral shifts in traditionally conservative areas, which now demand greater action on climate change. How will the Liberal Party gain the seats it needs to win at the next election if it just antagonises the electorate?Also, we touch on the ongoing tensions surrounding the King's Birthday honours and the recent media uproar involving former Liberal Treasurer Peter Costello at Nine Media, alongside global issues such as the continuing dire situation in Gaza. With escalating violence and international diplomatic efforts to broker peace, we examine the broader implications of these conflicts on global politics and humanitarian efforts.Join us as we explore these pressing issues, and uncover the layers of complexity in these governance challenges and the ongoing struggle for integrity and accountability in Australian politics.

Two years ago, on the day after the Labor government was sworn into office, Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen called a press conference. In those very first remarks, the new minister said the climate wars were over. Some scoffed at the time. There were still plenty of political fights to be had over how Australia would reach net zero – but there was nonetheless a belief that Australia would move forward with climate policy. This week that changed. Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on the week Peter Dutton promised to tear up emission targets for 2030 and why the next election will be a climate election after all.

The climate wars are back after Opposition Leader Peter Dutton revealed a plan to abandon the 2030 emissions reduction target and build nuclear power plants. He says the Coalition is still committed to net zero by 2050, but will Australians really stomach a watering down of our climate policy ambition for the next decade? Today, host of ABC Radio National Breakfast and The Party Room podcast, Patricia Karvelas, on Dutton's climate punt. Featured: Patricia Karvelas, host of ABC Radio National Breakfast and The Party Room podcast

This week, opposition leader Peter Dutton indicated he would not commit to a climate change target for 2030 until after the election. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hit back, saying the Coalition policy would mean energy shortfalls and higher bills. This development sets up the next election as a battle between the major parties on global warming. Also, there has been discontent among Liberal party members - particularly senator Hollie Hughes, who was recently kicked off a winnable spot on the senate ticket. Today, national affairs editor James Massola and chief political correspondent David Crowe join Jacqueline Maley to discuss what these climate battle lines mean.

Gwynne Dyer, renowned historian, journalist, broadcaster, and author, joins Banyen for a discussion of his book Intervention Earth: Life-Saving Ideas from the World's Climate Engineers. Gwynne Dyer is an internationally renowned historian, journalist, broadcaster, and author. He is a Member of the Order of Canada, and recipient of the The Southam Fellowship and Canadian Queen's Jubilee Medal. His 7-part documentary series War was nominated for an Academy Award, and his series The Human Race and Protection Force both won Gemini awards. He served in three navies and held academic appointments at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Oxford University before launching his twice-weekly column on international affairs, which is published by over 175 papers in some 45 countries. He is the author of several books including War: The Lethal Custom and Climate Wars, based on his CBC Ideas series of the same name.

Ruth Townend is joined in the studio by Gwynne Dyer, author of Climate Wars, and Chatham House's own Dr Daniel Quiggin to talk about climate solutions from the magical to the mundane. For his forthcoming book Intervention Earth, Dyer has spoken with more than 50 thinkers, innovators and engineers about how we might cool the planet and avoid catastrophe. Dyer, Quiggin and Townend explore the potential of unicorns, workhorses, and the odd dark horse technology, discuss the moral hazard of reliance on unproven technology, and consider the role of both technology and governance in meeting the Paris Agreement goals.  You can find out more about Gwynne Dyer's work on his website, and read Daniel Quiggin's work on the role of the aviation industry in reaching net zero on the Chatham House website.

Furthermore, around 60% anticipate the widespread adoption of insect consumption in Japan in the future. These findings stem from a tasting survey conducted last year by the Tokyo University of Agriculture's Bio-Robotics Laboratory, which focuses on edible insects in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In light of global food crises and concerns, insects are gaining attention as the next-generation food resource, with practical applications advancing in Japan as well. However, while there are benefits, such as minimal environmental impact, there are also challenges and lingering aversions, making it uncertain whether insect-based cuisine will be embraced on a broad scale, akin to traditional Japanese cuisine.The aforementioned tasting survey featured dishes like deep-fried crickets and cookies containing cricket powder, known as "Land Shrimp Salamino." According to reports, various insect-based foods made from creatures such as cicadas, grasshoppers, and bees are already available in the market. Some restaurants even offer dishes like crepes made with aquatic insect caddisfly meat or noodles infused with crickets.However, it is undeniable that there are still people who might refuse to eat these dishes, possibly due to reservations about the appearance of the ingredients. It's worth considering that the university's survey may have been biased, being conducted only among students, and in fact, 10% of the surveyed students did not try the insect-based dishes. As an experiment, some individuals sampled commercially available cricket-infused chocolate and rice crackers. While the rice crackers had a flavor reminiscent of shrimp chips, it wasn't something that most people found appealing, and there wasn't a significant allure to choose them. In other surveys, nearly 90% of respondents expressed a reluctance to try insect-based foods.The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization issued a report in 2013 recommending the consumption of insects, and in Europe, commercialization is advancing. According to the organization's data, producing 1 kilogram of protein from cows requires 10 kilograms of feed, while chickens need 2.5 kilograms. In contrast, crickets can produce the same amount of protein with just 1.7 kilograms of feed. There are benefits to insect farming, including the ability to produce on a small scale and emitting fewer greenhouse gases compared to livestock farming. Given the backdrop of climate change and food shortages caused by population growth, there are hopes that insects could play a role in addressing these challenges.In Japan, there has been a long-standing tradition of consuming insects such as locusts. The act of consuming living creatures as part of the "food" is a cornerstone of cultural significance. However, the expansion of "food tech," including genetic modification, driven by economic efficiency and profit motives, as well as the high-tech and industrialization of agriculture and fisheries under the banner of "food security," poses a significant threat to traditional food cultures rooted in a connection with nature and the livelihoods of those who practice them.For instance, genetically edited white crickets have been created solely for their appearance, and if these were used as raw materials for mass-produced food items, it could lead to discomfort and concerns. From a sustainability perspective, religious communities may also consider insect consumption. Nonetheless, the key to evolving food culture ultimately lies in the development of methods that genuinely prioritize environmental and natural considerations, ensuring safety and making people want to consume such foods.

For anyone looking to understand Earth's climate history and the unfolding climate crisis, Michael Mann has got you covered. Mann is the Presidential Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania and director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media. He has authored numerous books, including The New Climate War and The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars. He was selected by Scientific American as one of the fifty leading visionaries in science and technology in 2002 and was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2020. “Climate doomism” – the idea that it's too late to act on the climate crisis – is a common refrain that promotes inaction. But in his new book, Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis, Mann argues that we can avoid catastrophe if we take meaningful action to address the crisis. On this episode, Mike Burns, Mathematica senior director of communications and public affairs, speaks with Mann about his new book and preserving “our fragile moment.” Topics addressed include: • Lessons that can–and cannot–be drawn from Earth's climate history • Why seemingly insignificant temperature changes aren't so insignificant • The concepts of urgency and agency, and obstacles to climate action • “Shifting baseline syndrome” – the gradual change in expected norms for environmental conditions • Weighing the paleoclimate record with other sources of information about the climate system • Effective communication and messaging strategies around climate science and climate change A full transcript of this episode is available here: https://www.mathematica.org/blogs/climate-scientist-michael-mann-on-preserving-our-fragile-moment Learn more about Mann's new book, Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/michael-e-mann/our-fragile-moment/9781541702899/?lens=publicaffairs Read Mann's full bio: https://michaelmann.net/content/about

Australia is supposed to be reducing its emissions at a rapid pace, and last year, the Albanese government put a new target into law. Now, we will finally get to see exactly how Labor plans to force our biggest polluters to reduce their emissions. But will the proposal win the support it needs? And how will it shape the political year to come? Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on why next week could either end the climate wars, or start a whole new chapter.

Professor Michael Mann discusses how the new political leaders in the United States and Australia may give us hope to shift climate policy that has been left behind for so long. Join host James Brennan as they discuss these issues ahead of Michael's upcoming NZ and Australian tour. 

Do we have a fundamental human right to a healthy climate? If so, how do we know when our rights have been violated? Global climate agreements are structured to keep warming below 1.5C (or 2.7F, for our American friends). But this number reflects a political compromise—what global leaders believe is politically achievable—not a scientific understanding of climatic risks. Below this threshold, science predicts dire consequences. (Think Biblical: floods, fires, pestilence, and the like.) Yet, in informal and legal discussions of climate change, 1.5C is treated as some kind of legal litmus test. Professors Jen Marlow (CalPoly Humboldt), Lauren Sanckin (U. of Washington School of Law) and attorney Andrea Rodgers join Gang Green to talk about their most recent scholarship and break down the state of national and international litigation to recognize the right to a healthy climate.For more info, see the soon-to-be published article in the Fall 2022 issue of Virginia Environmental Law Journal:The Injustice of 1.5˚C–2˚C: The Need for a Scientifically Based Standard of Fundamental Rights Protection in Constitutional Climate Change Cases            by Lauren Sancken, Andrea Rodgers, and Jennifer Marlow​Support the show

Australia has accelerated its climate ambitions with a new commitment to cut emissions by 43% by 2030, which translates into having about 82% renewable power in its energy mix. Alongside that, the 2019 National Hydrogen Strategy aims to position the country as a top global exporter of the energy carrier. Demonstrations, pilot projects and hubs are being developed around the country, such as the first international pilot to export hydrogen. In this episode of the Platts Future Energy podcast, Ruchira Singh discusses the contours of the Australian government's climate policy measures, and the considerations around hydrogen for the nation's decarbonization journey with Mendo Kundevski, Ankit Sachan and Anton Ferkov.

The Prime Minister says he'll end the climate wars but as Federal Parliament resumes, can he get support for his new climate change legislation? And Europe is preparing for Vladimir Putin to cut off Russian gas supplies. It could lead to a cold, dark winter in the northern Hemisphere but is it also part of Russia's broader plan for a war with Europe?

On the night Anthony Albanese was elected, he promised an end to the so-called climate wars. But a looming energy crisis has immediately hit the new Labor government. As a cold winter and the war in Ukraine put strain on the energy grid, we look at the pressures and opportunities facing the new government. In this episode of Full Story, Gabrielle Jackson talks to Lenore Taylor and Mike Ticher about Labor's response to the energy crisis, and the opportunity to have a more intelligent debate about climate action

AEMO's intervention in the national spot market for wholesale energy has served as a reminder of the challenges presented by a failure to adequately plan for the shift away from fossil fuels. The Chairman and Founder of Fortescue Metals, Andrew Forrest, is one of Australia's leading clean energy advocates, and a key investor in Green Hydrogen.

Alongside rising inflation and interest rates, energy prices have also begun to surge. Innes Wilcox says the combination of the climate wars, cold weather and the Russia-Ukraine war has led to energy price rises that are 'apocalyptic' .

One clear result from the federal election was that the Albanese Government can claim a mandate to take climate action - having vowed to end the 'climate wars'. A new briefing paper takes stock of how we can revitalise our climate action and carbon markets, and what the government should prioritise.

Labor takes office, with Australians demanding more action on climate change. Its policy is a start, but what must it do next? And what role will the climate-focused cross bench play? The new government is also forced to leap onto China's latest challenge in the Pacific so how does Beijing's sweeping new economic and security plan rank against Australia's offerings to the Pacific?

The Liberal Party has been accused of attempting to wage a new scare campaign on Labor, accusing it of creating a carbon tax by stealth,.a view supported by Whitehaven Coal chief executive Paul Flynn. The Liberal Party is facing problems closer to home with division and mixed messaging within its own ranks on its commitment to net-zero by 2050 so what does all this mean for voters in the coal city of Gladstone?

I previously published an episode titled "The Climate Crisis requires profound societal changes immediately" and I am publishing this to provide additional context for those interested in how climate change may play out geopolitically and militarily. You can find the three CBC Radio One "Ideas" episodes Dyer himself narrated in 2009 at the following link. You can also track down his book "Climate Wars" via the same site. See: Climate Wars - three part audio synopsis https://gwynnedyer.com/radio/ ---- A couple notes: 1. Ocean acidification, a very serious concern, is not mentioned in the CBC Ideas "Climate Wars" audio. 2. Solar radiation management (injecting reflective materials into the stratosphere) would not impede ocean acidification without significant reductions in GHG emissions. It would, rather, only temporarily reduce global temperatures and only do so as long as it was maintained (such materials would typically only stay in the stratosphere for a few years before dissipating).

Australia's never been closer to adopting a net zero by 2050 target. The Prime Minister Scott Morrison's slow shift in rhetoric is now culminating in a very public showdown with his Coalition partners, the Nationals. Some Nationals cabinet members have spoken out against such a change, and the party's leader, Barnaby Joyce has also chimed in, pointing to the current energy shortage in the UK and Europe to illustrate his concerns about a shift away from fossil fuels. Today on the Signal, is the UK's energy mess really a window into Australia's net zero future? And will the Nationals ultimately get on board?

Pressure is mounting on the government to put an end to energy uncertainty as an Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) report warns of looming power shortages over the next few years. Opposition climate change and energy spokesman Mark Butler has written about the toxic divisions on energy policy in his recent book, Climate Wars. He recognises there are challenges in the Coalition party room over the Finkel report, but says Labor will negotiate with the government on an energy framework. It wants to avoid an ALP government inheriting the policy chaos. Responding to the government's push to extend the life of the Liddell power station, he says Malcolm Turnbull has unfairly concluded there is only one option. “With a proper investment framework in place, new investment that will last decades, not just a few more years … could take place. At the moment we have an investment strike and if we can't end the investment strike then yes in five years time in NSW we will be in a position of supply shortage.” On the future of coal, Butler says it's still “a massive part of our system”, and while usage will go down over time, it will be a part of the system for “as far as we politically can see”. “The problem is not old coal power plants closing, it's that nothing is being put in to replace them.” On alternative sources like battery power he is optimistic about their potential, while sceptical of expanding hydro power until the results of a feasibility study are produced.

Melbourne-born author Anna Krien's latest Quarterly Essay explores the debates on climate change policy in Australia and the ecological effects of not acting. She interviewed farmers, scientists, Indigenous groups, and activists from Bowen to Port Augusta. She says climate change denialism has transformed into “climate change nihilism”. Krien says the Finkel review provides another opportunity in a long line of proposals to take up the challenge of legislating clean energy. “We just need to get that foot in the door. The door has been flapping in the wind for the past decade.” On a current frontline battle – the planned Adani Carmichael coalmine – she found the people who would be affected were being ignored and blindsided. Meanwhile, the potential for exploitation of local Indigenous peoples through “opaque” native title legislation was high. “Outsiders are not meant to understand it and to tell you the truth you get the sense that insiders aren't meant to understand it either.”
