In the final episode of the year, Janina is joined by Laura Oskwarek, Director of Winemaking at Silver Oak, to explore one of the most fascinating (and often overlooked) elements of winemaking: oak. Together they taste and compare Silver Oak's Napa Valley and Alexander Valley Cabernets, dive deep into Silver Oak's unique in-house cooperage, and unpack everything from tree selection and seasoning to toast levels, sustainability and style. A rich, geeky and festive deep dive into Cabernet, craftsmanship and the people behind one of California's most iconic wineries. Shownotes 03:32 Laura's scientific background - from microbiology and Yale to winemaking. 04:52 Choosing wine as a career: the moment wine replaced medicine. 06:32 Early lessons from Schramsberg and Nickel & Nickel - teamwork, terroir and patience. 11:55 How Silver Oak has evolved over the years - sustainability, innovation and precision. 14:18 Precision viticulture explained: data, technology and giving each vine exactly what it needs. 15:45 Water management at Silver Oak - recycling systems and the famous purple hoses. 17:55 Owning their own cooperage - why it's so rare and why it matters. 18:56 How a tree is chosen to become a wine barrel - straight trunks, diameter and quality. 20:56 Missouri oak vs French oak - grain, flavour profile and why Missouri stands out. 24:39 Seasoning vs toasting - what they really mean and why they're not the same thing. 28:16 Choosing oak for flavour and texture - matching seasoning and toast to the wine style. 32:24 How far can you push oak? Experimentation, blind tastings and finding the limit. 33:43 Janina's tasting notes: Alexander Valley vs Napa Valley Cabernets. 35:04 Tasting comparison: Silver Oak Alexander Valley vs Napa Valley Cabernet - fruit profile, structure, oak and power. 38:19 Inside Silver Oak's toasting area - fire pits, slow toasting and craftsmanship. 40:02 Roasted marshmallow and caramel - the aromas of toasted barrels. 42:30 How much does a barrel cost and how long does it take to make one? 45:13 Another key difference between American and French oak - sustainability and efficiency. 46:20 Climatic differences between Alexander Valley and Napa Valley. 49:01 Where to buy the wines in the UK current vintages and pricing at The Wine Treasury £132 Alexander Valley Cabernet 2020 and £240 Napa Valley Cabernet 2020 50:28 Being a woman in wine - leadership, mentorship and cultural change. 52:44 A joyful harvest memory - costumes, sparkles and a true “glitter moment.” 54:39 American oak in one sentence. 55:16 Napa or Alexander Valley - where is the magic right now? 56:03 Toast levels: light, medium or heavy? 56:19 Cabernet pairing - steak or dark chocolate? 56:53 One wine region everyone should visit next.
S-au împlinit 10 ani de la istoricul Acord de la Paris privind schimbările climatice. Ce s-a întîmplat în această perioadă, în ce măsură statele semnatare au respectat prevederile acordului, cum s-a schimbat în 10 ani situaţia climatică la nivel global? Am întrebat-o pe activista de mediu Ana-Maria Pălăduș, vicepreședinta asociației REPER21. Obiectivul Acordului de la Paris, adoptat în 2015 de 195 de state ale lumii, era limitarea creşterii temperaturii medii la nivel global la mai puţin de 2 grade Celsius. Ce reprezintă temperatura medie la nivel global?Ana-Maria Pălăduș: „Temperatura medie globală, așa cum îi spune și numele, reprezintă o medie aritmetică a tuturor temperaturilor pe care le înregistrăm la nivel de glob. Ținta de 1,5 grade se raportează la perioada preindustrială. Și întotdeauna cînd auzim de creșteri sau de scăderi de temperaturi medii globale, ne raportăm la această perioadă. Pentru că, odată cu Revoluția Industrială, la nivel global, am început să folosim combustibili fosili, adică petrol, cărbuni și gaze naturale, pe care noi pînă atunci nu îi foloseam. Acești combustibili, adevărat aur negru, cu o putere calorică incredibil de mare, am început să îi folosim în mod accelerat în ultimele două secole. Această utilizare a venit cu foarte multe părți bune pentru că ne-am dezvoltat într-un ritm absolut incredibil, raportat la ce știau generațiile de pînă atunci. Am descoperit trenul, toată industria, agricultura industrială și așa mai departe. Numai că a venit și cu un revers al medaliei și anume că prin utilizarea acestor combustibili fosili emitem gaze cu efect de seră în atmosferă, care contribuie la creșterea temperaturilor medii globale. Acesta e efectul de seră antropic – generat de om. Iar limitarea la 1,5-2 grade față de perioada preindustrială este considerată de către oamenii de știință, de către climatologi, la nivel global un prag dincolo de care sistemul climatic global poate să producă niște pagube foarte importante asupra noastră ca umanitate. Și de aceea această încercare de a limita ideal la 1,5, în cel mai rău caz la 2 grade Celsius.”Ce s-a întîmplat între timp, ce au făcut statele semnatare ale acordului, în ce măsură şi-au respectat angajamentele?Ana-Maria Pălăduș: „S-au întîmplat lucruri, aș începe cu cele relativ pozitive. Acordul de la Paris a presupus ca statele care au semnat acest angajament să publice periodic Contribuții Naționale Determinate, prin care arată ce eforturi fac la nivel național pentru a se menține în această țintă de 1,5 respectiv 2 grade Celsius. Și recent au fost publicate ultimele, în luna noiembrie, pentru COP30, care tocmai s-a terminat în Brazilia. Partea mai puțin bună este că sîntem în continuare pe o traiectorie de creștere a emisiilor de gaze cu efect de seră. (...) Din punct de vedere științific, considerăm că maximum 2 grade este o creștere pe care putem să o ținem în frîu și care să fie relativ decentă. Peste 2 grade, sînt studii care au apărut, o să avem fenomene meteo extreme din ce în ce mai pronunțate, secete prelungite, precipitații foarte abundente, bruște, creșteri ale nivelului mărilor și oceanelor. Adică o să fie incomparabil mai greu decît ce trăim în prezent și nu o să fie la fel de greu pentru toți. Asta e o chestiune foarte importantă pe care trebuie să o avem în vedere: că nu sîntem cu toții egali în fața schimbărilor climatice.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!

„Trebuie să luptăm împotriva ideii că nu putem face nimic individual, că ar fi prea târziu. Soluția este totuși colectivă, într-o nouă poveste.” După un prim interviu acordat exact acum doi ani, Édouard Millot, de la asociația Climatosfera, aprofundează discursul său cu privire la ceea ce se poate face în special pentru a contracara schimbările climatice.

Rat lungworm disease is on the rise in eastern Australia in dogs – and there have even been recorded cases in humans, including two known lethal incidents. Research by veterinary scientists at the University of Sydney has unveiled insights into what is behind the growth in the disease, also known as neural angiostrongyliasis. Their study, published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, highlights how climatic factors act as drivers for this potential public health issue. Joining me to discuss this is Professor Jan Slapeta, Dr Slapeta is a Professor of Veterinary and Molecular Parasitology at the University of Sydney and senior author of the paper. Rainfall- and Temperature-Driven Emergence of Neural Angiostrongyliasis in Eastern Australia, 2020–2024
As climate change continues to be at the forefront of many peoples minds, philosophical lines of thinking are beginning to open up, looking at the rights and responsibilities not just of those impacted by climate change and climatic events, but also the responsibilities of all people. Ash sits down with UNE PhD candidate, Harrison Munday, to discuss his research into climate justice and climate displacement, within the philosophy discipline, and what meaningful action people can take to seek justice for those affected by climate change.Support the show: https://buymeacoffee.com/tunefmSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By 2026, Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes released by the National Environment Agency (NEA) will be buzzing through 50 per cent of all households across the island. That's part of NEA's efforts to expand Project Wolbachia, to provide coverage to areas at risk of large dengue outbreaks. Under the project, which was first introduced in 2016, male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that carry the Wolbachia bacteria are released to mate with the female Aedes mosquitoes. The eggs that are produced do not hatch. On this episode of Morning Shot, Ng Lee Ching, Group Director of the Environmental Health Institute, NEA shares her insights on how effective the project has been so far, how recent weather changes might affect mosquito breeding cycles, and what the public should look out for.

How can architecture help us to address the escalating climate emergency? There are many ways it can do so: from ensuring that new buildings are designed to radically reduce carbon emissions during construction, to doing the same in terms of how they will function..The Swiss architect, Philippe Rahm, is at the forefront of this process through his experiments with what he calls climatic architecture, the theme – and title - of his latest book. In this episode of Design Emergency, Philippe tells our cofounder Alice Rawsthorn how he developed the concept of climatic architecture and is putting it into practice..Born in Switzerland, Philippe studied architecture there and in France, where he runs Philippe Rahm Architectes, which he founded ten years ago in Paris. His mission is to enable buildings to become more ecologically responsible by aligning them with their locations and climates to make the most of the light, humidity and other natural phenomena in order to minimise the use of fossil fuels in heating or cooling them..Philippe tells Alice how these principles have been applied to completed and ongoing projects including: Central Park in the Taiwanese city of Taichung, the entrance to Maison de la Radio et de la Musique in Paris, and, working in collaboration with OMA, the Scalo Farini project to redevelop two disused railway yards in Milan..We hope you'll enjoy this episode. You can find images of Philippe and his work on our Instagram @design.emergency. Please join us for future episodes of Design Emergency when we will hear from other inspiring global design leaders who are forging positive change..Design Emergency is supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

Scafandrii au recuperat joi dimineață cadavrul ultimului bărbat dispărut în urma scufundării, luni, în Sicilia, a super-iaht-ului aparținând magnatului tehnologic britanic Mike Lynch, a declarat pentru AFP paza de coastă. Se confirmă astfel decesul acestuia. Incidentul a stârnit numeroase reacții în presa internațională. ”Dar cum a putut super-yahtul lui Mike Lynch să se scufunde atât de repede?”, întreabă Le Figaro.”Primul motiv este că barca s-a trezit în inima unei furtuni, prinsă într-o trombă de apă. Acest eveniment meteorologic este un fenomen de „vârtej”, asemănător tornadelor de pe uscat. Deși tromba de apă este extrem de greu de prezis, mulți se întreabă dacă măsurile de siguranță au fost suficiente în timp ce barca se afla în mijlocul unei furtuni”.Totuși, nimeni nu face o asemenea agitație atunci când bărcile refugiaților se răstoarnă, deplânge ziarul italian Avvenire, citat de Eurotopics.„Ar trebui să ne comportăm mereu le fel, să empatizăm mereu cu soarta naufragiaților, să-i aducem mereu pe supraviețuitori la mal cât de repede posibil. Dar, din păcate, aceste reguli fundamentale ale umanității nu se aplică tuturor ființelor umane. Este izbitor contrastul dintre simpatia de înțeles față de pasagerii de pe iaht și tratamentul politic, s-ar putea spune chiar „antropologic” la adresa migranților naufragiați în călătoriile speranței, pe coasta de sud a Mediteranei.”Citeste siUn magnat britanic din domeniul tehnologiei, dat dispărut pe un iaht scufundatIrish Examiner atenționează că „temperaturile record din Marea Mediterană din această vară au contribuit la furtuna ciudată care a scufundat super-iahtul. Temperaturile în Marea Mediterană au ajuns la 30C, cu trei grade mai mari decât media. ... Italia a devenit cunoscută de oamenii de știință ca fiind unul dintre punctele fierbinți de risc climatic din Europa, datorită unei game de vulnerabilități, inclusiv locația sa geografică, topografia diversă și zonele de coastă dens locuite. În ultimii trei ani, țara a fost lovită de inundații devastatoare, alunecări de teren, incendii, valuri de căldură record și prăbușirea unui ghețar din Dolomiți, care a ucis 11 oameni. În 2023, au existat 378 de evenimente climatice extreme în Italia, o creștere cu 22% față de 2022.”Un accident tragic, nici mai mult, nici mai puțin, comentează The Independent:„La un anumit nivel, este probabil mai reconfortant să credem că lucrează forțe întunecate, mai degrabă decât să acceptăm că astfel de accidente ciudate, cum ar fi scufundarea super-iahtului, pot să apară și chiar există – și că niciunul dintre noi, oricât ar fi de bogat sau de bine conectat, nu este imun. Dar se întâmplă coincidențe; acesta este adevărul întâmplător și nedrept al existenței umane, oricât de mici ar fi fost șansele pe hârtie. Doar pentru că ceva este uluitor și greu de procesat, asta nu îl face altceva decât ceea ce pare.”

In this 226th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this episode, we discuss a new breakthrough in plant genetics: polyploid potatoes and corn from Ohalo Genetics, which are claimed to double the harvest from individual plants. Beginning with a discussion of naturally occurring polyploidy in other species, including frogs, we analyze the discussion of Ohalo's new products with an evolutionary lens. Is it possible that biotechnology can evade trade-offs, or is this utopian thinking in the corporate world? Why do so many mistakes of modernity come in the form of people accustomed to complicated systems, applying their knowledge to complex systems? Finally: does Terrence Howard (recently on Joe Rogan) have a predictive model, or is he just blowing smoke?*****Our sponsors:MUDWTR: is a great coffee alternative with mushrooms, herbs (and cacao!) with 1/7 the caffeine as coffee.

“The Randall Carlson” on the socials, tours, events, lectures, etc: https://randallcarlson.com/linksAfter returning from extended Spring touring, Brad and RC talk about some of the cool sites that will be part of future Bonneville Megaflood trips. Ahead with benefits of carbon dioxide, RC shares work that links the start of agriculture with increasing atmospheric levels post Ice Age, and also that a doubling has the same effect as doubling rainfall, which will also increase – ALL good for the biosphere! A review of high points covered earlier from his “Redemption of the Beast” article, these papers are only a sampling of over 300 related studies, but no one is talking about them – all you hear is that rising CO2 is taking us toward some horrible Climate Disaster. But Caribbean region hurricanes don't show any increase in frequency or intensity, and Greenland ice core samplings reveal previous higher temps during “Climatic Optimum,” and ponds in Vermont reveal much stronger storms than those in the last 300 years of local records. “Nuke ‘em” – for Science!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4656375/advertisement

Droughts, Floods, and Global Climatic Anomalies in the Indian Ocean World (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) explores histories of droughts and floods in the Indian Ocean World, and their connections to broader global climatic anomalies. It deploys an interdisciplinary approach rooted in the emerging field of climate history to investigate the multifaceted effects of global climatic anomalies on regions affected by the Indian Ocean Monsoon System – regularly conceived of as the macro-region's ‘deep structure.' Case studies explore how droughts and floods related to anomalous climatic conditions have historically affected states, societies, and ecologies across the Indian Ocean World, including in relation to food security, epidemic diseases, political (in)stability, economic change, infrastructural development, colonialism, capitalism, and scientific knowledge. Tracing longue durée patterns from the twelfth to the early twentieth centuries, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of global climatic events and their effects on the Indian Ocean World. It highlights essential historical case studies for contextualizing the potential effects of global warming on the macro-region in the present and future. Philip Gooding is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Ahmed Yaqoub AlMaazmi is a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University, Near Eastern Studies Department. His research focuses on the intersection of law, the occult sciences, and the environment across the western Indian Ocean.

Case studies explore how droughts and floods related to anomalous climatic conditions have historically affected states, societies, and ecologies across the Indian Ocean World, including in relation to food security, epidemic diseases, political (in)stability, economic change, infrastructural development, colonialism, capitalism, and scientific knowledge. Tracing longue durée patterns from the twelfth to the early twentieth centuries, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of global climatic events and their effects on the Indian Ocean World. It highlights essential historical case studies for contextualizing the potential effects of global warming on the macro-region in the present and future. Philip Gooding is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Ahmed Yaqoub AlMaazmi is a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University, Near Eastern Studies Department. His research focuses on the intersection of law, the occult sciences, and the environment across the western Indian Ocean.

How can cultural heritage give us the methodological tools and source material to confront climate change? How can the cultural heritage sector lead the way into a future that proactively faces the climate crisis? Who can be involved in this work—who gets to identify as a “cultural heritage expert”—and what is the work to be done? Climatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage (Routledge, 2022) examines the challenges that environmental change, both sudden and long-term, poses to the preservation of cultural material. But more than this, Robyn Sloggett and Marcelle Scott point out how our confrontation of the climate crisis relies on the cultural heritage sector, which makes records and narratives available to inform decisions now and into the future. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders who have an interest in—and responsibility for—the care of cultural heritage material and sites of cultural heritage value, the book explores thinking on and actions in relation to issues of climate change and environmental risk. Sloggett and Scott highlight stakeholders' shared interest in drawing on collective expertise to meet the challenges that environmental change brings to the future of our cultural heritage and our cultural identity. Based on the understanding that this global challenge requires local, national and international co‐operation, the book also considers how local knowledge can have international application. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology and a volunteer at Interference Archive. Jen edits for Partnership Journal and organizes with the TPS Collective. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom and The Social Movement Archive.

Global trade requires goods to circumnavigate the globe through different climatic zones, predominantly involving sea carriage. The standard general purpose freight container, while effective at protecting the cargo within, is unable to prevent the effects of ambient temperature fluctuations and the resultant condensation that this might cause in connection with certain cargo types.
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [4] Climatic consequences of regional nuclear conflicts (Robock et al., 2007), published by Will Aldred on July 15, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Will's quick summary and hot takes: I've heard this Robock et al. paper get cited a lot, including twice at the SERI Conference '22. This is unfortunate, because while the paper makes important claims relating to nuclear x-risk, these claims are probably wrong. To clarify, the paper being cited at all is not unfortunate, and the authors' writing of this paper started an important debate. For this, I commend them. However, I've almost always heard the paper's conclusion cited in isolation, without acknowledgement of the subsequent debate and counterconclusion. More on this below. Robock et al.'s, paper, published in 2007, concluded that there'd be significant global cooling effects resulting from a regional nuclear war, e.g., between India and Pakistan. "Significant global cooling effects" as Robock et al. refer to it means nuclear autumn bordering on nuclear winter. Reisner et al., a separate group from Los Alamos National Lab, in 2018 published a paper titled "Climate Impact of a Regional Nuclear Weapons Exchange: An Improved Assessment Based On Detailed Source Calculations." Given that the original Robock et al. paper was titled "Climate Impact of a Regional Nuclear Weapons Exchange," this was a spicy move. The Reisner et al. paper effectively reruns the modelling done by Robock et al., but with some different and arguably more sophisticated starting assumptions. Reisner et al. conclude that regional nuclear war would result in negligible global cooling. Robock et al. responded to Reisner et al.'s critique, and Reisner et al. responded to the response. Both groups make some valid arguments, but overall Reisner et al. are closer to the truth, according to me (or at least, the version of me at the time of writing). To explain the heart of the disagreement, I'll first lay out my 3-step model of where disagreement occurs when talking about nuclear winter effects: How much soot gets up into the stratosphere? Given x quantity of soot in the stratosphere, how much cooling occurs? Given y amount of cooling, i) how much crop failure? ii) how much human starvation? It turns out that 2 is pretty uncontroversial, and 1 and 3 are where disagreements lie. I'll return to 3 in other posts (e.g., I'll discuss Helfand, 2013 and Jagermeyr, 2020). 1 is what the Robock and Reisner groups are disagreeing over. Reisner et al. write: While our thorough simulations of the firestorm produce about 3.7 × 109 kg of black carbon, we find that the vast majority of the black carbon never reaches an altitude above weather systems (approximately 12 km). Therefore, our Earth system model simulations conducted with model-informed atmospheric distributions of black carbon produce significantly lower global climatic impacts than assessed in prior studies, as the carbon at lower altitudes is more quickly removed from the atmosphere. In addition, our model ensembles indicate that statistically significant effects on global surface temperatures are limited to the first 5 years and are much smaller in magnitude than those shown in earlier works. None of the simulations produced a nuclear winter effect. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.
Sermons from Mandy Schoonhoven on May 21, 2022
Migration and architecture have emerged as a new topic of research at a global level. Migrant worker dormitories in Singapore, for example, are sites where structural inequities in architecture and legal regulations have had a significant impact on the living conditions of migrant workers, and they hit the headlines in 2020 as sites for the rapid spread of COVID. Dr Jennifer Ferng joins Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories to talk about the relationship between architecture and labour, arguing that climate change, capital, and power intersect with the forced displacement of migrants to reinforce existing inequalities of ethnicity, class, and citizenship in Singapore. About Jennifer Ferng: Dr Jennifer Ferng is Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Academic Director at the University of Sydney. Her research addresses asylum seekers and refugees, forced displacement, and migration in the built environment of the Asia-Pacific region. Most recently, she was a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) at University College London in 2021.
