Climate anxiety is nothing new, but lately, it feels like the volume has been cranked all the way up. Between record-breaking heat waves, apocalyptic air quality, and the general sense that our leaders are doing basically nothing to stop it, it's hard not to spiral about the future of our planet. Are we completely doomed? Should we all be prepping for societal collapse? And how do we balance staying informed with not losing our minds? To help us navigate these thought spirals, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by Dharna Noor (@thispartysux), a climate journalist who has spent years reporting on environmental policy and corporate accountability. Together, they discuss the myths and realities of climate activism, how to stay engaged without succumbing to total nihilism, and whether it's still okay to enjoy iced coffee and long showers while the world burns. - Join the "Magical Overthinkers Club" by following the pod on Instagram @magicaloverthinkers. - To access early, ad-free episodes and more, subscribe to the Magical Overthinkers Substack. - Pick up a hard copy of Amanda's book The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality, or listen to the audiobook.

Over the past two weeks, people around the country have watched in horror as our neighbors and fellow workers have been battered by the successive disasters of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. “After making landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Sept. 26 and tearing through the Gulf Coast of Florida,” Adeel Hassan and Isabelle Taft write in The New York Times, “Helene plowed north through Georgia and walloped the Blue Ridge Mountains, washing out roads, causing landslides and knocking out power and cell service for millions of people. Across western North Carolina, towns were destroyed, water and fuel supplies were disrupted, and residents were in a communications black hole, scrambling for Wi-Fi to try to reach friends and family... As of Oct. 6, there were more than 230 confirmed deaths from the storm.” The hurricanes have passed, but the devastation and dire need they left in their wake remain. In this urgent mini-cast, we speak with two guests who are on the ground in Asheville, NC, providing relief and mutual aid to their community: Byon Ballard, a cofounder of the Mother Grove Goddess Temple in Asheville, where she serves as Senior Priestess, and Lori Freshwater, a journalist and relief aid volunteer who is originally from North Carolina.Additional links/info below:Mother Grove Goddess Temple website, Facebook page, and InstagramMother Grove Goddess Temple volunteer and donation information pageBeloved Asheville website, Facebook page, and InstagramAdeel Hassan & Isabelle Taft, The New York Times, “What we know about Hurricane Helene's destruction so far”Dharna Noor, The Guardian, “Double punch of hurricanes could become common due to climate crisis”Oliver Milman, The Guardian, “‘It's mindblowing': US meteorologists face death threats as hurricane conspiracies surge”Oliver Milman & Jonathan Watts, The Guardian, “Global heating makes hurricanes like Helene twice as likely, data shows”Lauren Aratani, The Guardian, “Insurance is failing hurricane survivors: ‘People thought they were covered'”Permanent links below:Leave us a voicemail and we might play it on the show!Labor Radio / Podcast Network website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageIn These Times website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageThe Real News Network website, YouTubechannel, podcast feeds, Facebook page, and Twitter pageFeatured Music: Jules Taylor, “Working People” Theme SongStudio Production: Max AlvarezPost-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

One week has gone by since a massive container ship struck a critical support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, sending the structure and a group of construction workers who were fixing potholes on the bridge into the water of the Patapsco River. Of the 8 men who were working on the bridge that night, six have been pronounced dead since last Tuesday. As more details have emerged about the accident, and the city and port authority's plans for clean-up and reconstruction, The Real News convened a panel of journalists working all sides of this story to get a sense of what we know, what key questions still need to be answered, and what happens next.Joining this timely discussion are Marc Steiner, host of the Marc Steiner Show on The Real News Network; Real News Network Editor-in-Chief Max Alvarez; Dharna Noor, who leads "Big Oil Uncovered," a Guardian series focused on the fossil fuel industry's attempts to thwart climate science, discourse, and policy; and Clara Longo de Freitas, a neighborhood reporter covering East Baltimore communities for the Baltimore Banner.Studio Production: Adam ColeyPost-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.

A year ago on 3 February a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in a small village on the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania. A few days after the derailment, officials decided to vent and burn the chemicals it was carrying to prevent an explosion. Those still living in East Palestine and the surrounding communities have been told the air they breathe is safe, but many aren't confident in what they're being told. So what led to the derailment? What's changed in terms of legislation to make sure this kind of accident doesn't happen again? And how are residents coming together to advocate for their safety and that of fellow Americans in the future? The Guardian's fossil fuels and climate reporter, Dharna Noor, travelled to East Palestine to see for herself what's changed in the 12 months since the disaster
18 California children are suing the EPA for failing to protect them from climate change. The lawsuit is one of many efforts to hold the fossil fuel industry to account that reporter Dharna Noor highlights in her series for the Guardian US called “Big Oil Uncovered.” We'll talk to her about the strategies oil and gas companies are using to delay or avoid action on climate change — and the people and policies who are taking them to task.

Dharna Noor, climate reporter for The Guardian, joins us for our 200th episode. We discuss the wildfires in Maui, the ludicrous conspiracies about their origin, big oil rebutting attempts by local leaders over the past few years to reign in their emissions, and more.We also spend some time talking about Hurricane Hilary, which is expected to make landfall in Southern California this weekend. Calling it a rare occurrence is an understatement. It's once-in-a-century, with the last one making landfall happening back in 1939. We examine the link between climate change and extreme weather like this storm which, as we've mentioned repeatedly on this show, is a direct cause of climate change worsening.In spite of this, we make sure to reflect on the importance of remaining committed to fight climate change and lift up the young climate activists in Montana who recently won a landmark climate case.You can follow Dharna here: https://twitter.com/dharnanoorTo become a subscriber (paid intern!) to the Insurgents and gain access to an additional episode every week, you can subscribe here: https://www.insurgentspod.com/subscribe This is a public episode.

On this edition of Your Call, we discuss Project 2025, a plan to dismantle US climate policy for next Republican president. Guardian reporter Dharna Noor writes about the nearly 1,000-page transition guide, which was written by more than 350 rightwingers and is full of sweeping recommendations to deconstruct all sectors of the federal government– – including environmental policy. Against a backdrop of record-breaking heat and floods this year, the $22m endeavor, Project 2025, was convened by the notorious rightwing, climate-denying thinktank the Heritage Foundation, which has ties to fossil fuel billionaire Charles Koch. Called the Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, it is meant to guide the first 180 days of presidency for an incoming Republican president. Climate experts and advocates criticized planning that would dismantle US climate policy.

We get into the traction on critical climate issues like coal, the push for unproven “carbon capture,” and winding down reliance on fossil fuels.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- According to a report from The Boston Globe, a mere 2.4 million tons of the 51 million tons of plastic discarded in the United States annually is properly recycled. In response to the statistic, Greenpeace USA referred to recycling plastic as a “myth.” Dharna Noor writes, “many plastics that consumers think they are recycling never make it through a recycling process.” 4:15pm- While promoting her new book at London's Royal Festival Hall, climate activist Greta Thunberg suggested that the adoption of a non-Capitalist economic system is necessary to resolve the “climate crisis.” 4:35pm- During her Wednesday press briefing, White House Press Secretary said “mega MAGA Republicans” do not respect democracy—suggesting that their rhetoric leads to violence.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/02/22) 3:05pm- While speaking with Mike Jerrick on FOX29, Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate John Fetterman said that he will, unsurprisingly, not withdraw from the race over concerns for his health. Fetterman also continued to insist he has “always been” a supporter of fracking in Pennsylvania—despite a 2018 interview where he ardently stated he opposed it. 3:15pm- McClatchy DC's David Catanese warned that voters in Pennsylvania not to expect election results in the state's U.S. Senate race right away—estimating that tallying mail-in ballot, and subsequently declaring a winner, could take several days after the election. 3:30pm- On Tuesday's episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg suggested that Fox News' rhetoric is at least partially responsible for the assault on Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. 3:40pm- Michael Greer—President & CEO of the Pennsylvania Family Institute—joins the show to discuss a new report alleging that since Tom Wolf became Governor of Pennsylvania, the state has spent $16.7 million in tax-payer money on child sex reassignment surgeries.

MSNBC's Joy Reid claimed that Republican polling firms are “flooding” polling aggregate sites like Real Clear Politics and are, consequently, misleadingly predicting a “red wave” in the November 8thmidterm elections. 5:50pm- American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten spoke at a campaign rally for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in Detroit—accusing Republican of being responsible adopting policies that are against the best interests of families and, instead, in alignment with oil companies who are “gouging consumers.” 6:05pm- Bad Opinion Editorial of the Day: In “Where Will This Political Violence Lead? Look to the 1850s”, Politico's Joshua Zeitz outlandishly compared modern Republicans to pro-slavery Southern extremist from the 1850s—concluding that “[i]f history is a guidepost, we are on the precipice of dangerous future in which politics devolves into a contest of force rather than ideas.” 6:30pm- Tom Szymanski—New Jersey Republican State Committee Executive Director—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview the November 8th midterm elections. Is a red wave coming to New Jersey? 6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? + Zeoli's Final Thought

One third of the world is currently facing water stress. The horn of Africa is in the middle of a devastating drought, putting millions at risk of famine. In China, low water levels are causing cuts to hydropower in Sichuan Province. Two thirds of Europe is currently under some kind of drought warning, making it the worst in 500 years in that region. Drought will only become more severe in some regions as the climate continues to warm. The United Nations estimates that drought frequency has increased by a third already since the year 2000. Ongoing drought has dire implications for everything ranging from food security to manufacturing, energy production, and health. This week, we're bringing you a story about the unexpected consequence of drought – how it's revealing secrets previously lost beneath the waterline. Falling water levels are reshaping landscapes around the world. As rivers and reservoirs recede, historical relics are coming to the surface. This week, we speak to reporter Dharna Noor about the dinosaur tracks, historical artifacts, and even human remains that are being unveiled as the drought progresses.

Climate change is here, it's real, and it's low vibrations are coming to a city near you. Angel talks climate change, and intersectional environmentalism with The Boston Globe's climate producer, Dharna Noor.

People around the world watched expectantly as global leaders convened at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, in Glasgow, Scotland, from Oct. 31 to Nov. 13. And many around the world were left angry and disillusioned when the conference seemed to culminate in a lot of sincere-sounding rhetoric, empty promises, and unenforceable measures from the world's worst polluters, including the United States. As Dharna Noor recently wrote for The Boston Globe, “Leaders at the Glasgow talks made some bold pledges in the meeting's final agreement, but no one can make them keep those promises. The United Nations has no power to enforce compliance, and there are no penalties for breaking pacts.” What's worse, Noor continues, “According to a report by advocacy groups including Global Witness and Corporate Accountability, more than 500 lobbyists and executives with ties to oil, gas, and coal companies attended [COP26], either as members of trade associations or as part of countries' official delegations.”In this segment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc and Noor discuss what the proceedings at COP26 tell us about the seriousness of the climate crisis and the inadequacy of the methods we're using to combat it. They also discuss Noor's recent article about the Biden administration overseeing the largest offshore oil and gas lease sale in US history. Dharna Noor is The Boston Globe's climate producer. Prior to joining the Globe's climate team, Noor worked as a staff writer at Earther, Gizmodo's climate vertical, where she also co-produced a season of the podcast Drilled on the fossil fuel industry's influence on education. Before that, she led the climate team at the Real News Network.Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/biden-fights-climate-crisis-with-kid-gloves-onTune in for new episodes of The Marc Steiner Show every Monday and Thursday on TRNN.Help us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-mssSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-stGet The Marc Steiner Show updates: https://therealnews.com/up-pod-stLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Prior to joining the Globe's climate team, Noor worked as a staff writer at Earther, Gizmodo's climate vertical, where she also co-produced a season of the podcast Drilled on the fossil fuel industry's influence on education. Before that, she led the climate team at the Real News Network.Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/biden-fights-climate-crisis-with-kid-gloves-onTune in for new episodes of The Marc Steiner Show every Monday and Thursday on TRNN.Help us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-mssSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-stGet The Marc Steiner Show updates: https://therealnews.com/up-pod-stLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews
This week we’re joined again by Dharna Noor, now of the Boston Globe, to go over some of the climate-related issues that have been in the headlines lately. We just saw a number of inspiring speeches at COP 26, the Biden Administration is going full speed ahead with the historic, ambitious Build Back Better Framework, it seems like everything is going pretty good, right? And if it isn’t that’s obviously China’s fault. We also discuss the current climate disaster unfolding in BC, which the NDP government under John Horgan is responding to by… sending in the RCMP to violently assault and arrest Wet'suwet'en land defenders at the behest of the foreign oil companies that want the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline completed at all costs.Drop us a line at theinsurgentspod@gmail.com.You can also listen to the Insurgents on iTunes HERE.On Spotify HERE.On Google Podcasts HERE.And all other links are HERE.If you’d like to become a premium subscriber and gain access to premium episodes as well as our private Discord server, you can do so here: This is a public episode.

Fossil fuel companies didn't start infiltrating schools when climate change appeared on the scene, they were there shaping the minds of future citizens for decades before then. The industry has been laying the groundwork for inaction on climate since long before this crisis reared its ugly head, limiting how Americans are allowed to think about the environment and the economy. In this first episode of our new miniseries with Earther, Dharna Noor and Amy Westervelt look at how Big Oil first got into the education game, and why it worked so well.

A guest essay in The New York Times headed "We're not ready for the next big climate disasters" could just as easily been about what's not happening here in Australia under the watch of the Scott Morrison Liberal National Party Government. With Joe Biden now in charge in the U.S. it appears America is now on the front foot with regard to the climate crisis. And things are changing with the fossil fuel industries no longer being outright deniers of climate change, but they are busy shifting the blame, now lumping the responsibility upon you and me! Read the Dharna Noor story from Gizmodo - "Exxon blames you for climate change". In all this chaos Climate Conversation urges you to spend some time listening to the Melbourne-based group, "Music for a Warming World".
This week we’re joined by Dharna Noor from Gizmodo’s Earther where she focuses on climate and green initiatives reporting. She’s really great, can’t recommend her work enough, you should follow her & her work.We dig into Biden’s record on climate during the first 100 days, the consequences of ignoring fracking in the long run or treating it like a “clean” energy source, how big, bold promises and pledges don’t actually equal solutions on climate, how Bill Gates has been thrust to the forefront on climate change and, of course, the non-existent burger ban.You can follow Dharna HERE.—Drop us a line at theinsurgentspod@gmail.com.You can also listen to the Insurgents on iTunes HERE.On Spotify HERE.On Google Podcasts HERE.And all other links are HERE.If you’d like to become a premium subscriber and gain access to premium episodes as well as our private Discord server, you can do so here: This is a public episode.

The environmental cost of growing marijuana is quite a bit higher than you might think, especially when growing indoors. America's legal marijuana production industry consumes enough electricity to power nearly 100,000 homes every year. According to one estimate, if Colorado would shift all of its marijuana production to outdoors, it would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 1.3 percent annually. Dharna Noor (@dharnanoor), a staff writer at Earther, discusses the surprising environmental impact of marijuana production. Tell Me More is hosted by Emily Stewart and produced by Sofi LaLonde.
