It's no secret that our planet is heating up.  According to scientists, the warming is primarily the result of increased anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.  In fact, human activities are responsible for nearly all of the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions over the last 150 years.  Climate change has already left observable effects on the […]

Tim Cullinan President of the IFA on emissions targets for the agriculture sector which will be set in the coming weeks.

Hotter and drier conditions are leading to an increasing number of wildfires in North America and elsewhere around the globe.  Scientists have linked the severe heat and drought that fuel these wildfires to climate change. As the climate continues to change, wildfires are projected to become more prevalent, more severe, and longer in duration.  According […]

Earlier this month, New Zealand proposed a world first - having farmers pay for the emissions of their animals. Essentially, a methane tax for livestock. In a country that only has 5 million people, but 10 million cows and 26 million sheep - and where 50% of their emissions come from agriculture, it's no surprise it's front of mind in New Zealand's battle to get to net zero. In this episode, Alec and Sascha talk about how New Zealand are proposing to tax emissions from agriculture, and then look at whether this is a model the rest of the world will follow.

The agricultural sector says while there has been big strides in the research to reduce climate emissions, considerable uncertainty remains about when technology will actually be available for farmers. The primary sector group He Waka Eke Noa's proposal to reduce farm emissions was criticised by climate activists for relying far too much on unproven technology. Farmer group Groundswell also hates the proposal saying after decades and millions of dollars there is still no mitigation technology on the market. Climate Reporter Hamish Cardwell asked the industry how long farmers will have to wait.

Governments worldwide are implementing emissions targets to improve air quality, with electric vehicles EVs Uptake mentioned as a key solution to reducing pollution. The automotive experts at Vanarama have done research to uncover whether EV uptake affects air quality in Europe. Vanarama analysed the 50 most populated European cities, sourcing data on total passenger cars and the proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) to calculate the number of EVs per 100,000 of each city's population. These figures were then scored alongside air quality stats to give a score out of 100. The higher the score, the stronger the correlation between the uptake of electric cars and air quality. Top 10 European cities for EV uptake to improve air quality. Unsurprisingly, the city with the highest score of 96 is Oslo in Norway, a country which has been hailed for its wide-ranging policies transforming perceptions of EVs.Oslo's air quality also ranked well at 7.5 g/m3 – good enough for the fifth-best figure in Vanarama's research. The UN Environment Programme reports that EVs have helped reduce CO2 emissions in the Scandanavian city by 35%, improving air quality and protecting public health. Consequently, Norway has the lowest risk of premature deaths due to air pollution. Norway is leaps and bounds above the rest of Europe when it comes to registering new EVs, with there being 11,129 per 100,000 people. EVs also account for more than a fifth (21.9%) of the country's total cars. By comparison, London has only 1,676 per 100,000 of its population. Norway's strategy to accelerate the uptake of EVs was to make them affordable enough to purchase through lower taxes while increasing taxes on traditional cars. In second is Swedish city Goeteborg, with a score of 95, closely followed by Stockholm in fourth place with 94 points. The Swedish capital boasts 3,001 EVs per 100,000 people and air quality of 6 g/m3, putting it in the top 10% of countries. Emissions from combustion engines are steadily declining, and overall, total emissions in Sweden have lowered across almost all sectors, primarily in the transport sector. However, most of Sweden's pollution comes from industry. Sweden is continuing the Scandinavian trend of EV uptake through several innovative legislations that go beyond subsidies for the purchase of a plug-in or fully electric, for example, EV drivers get free public parking across many cities and are even able to use buses lanes. While countries like the UK have been plunged into an energy crisis, Sweden's low electricity prices have helped encourage EV purchases – with prices being some of the lowest in Europe. Glasgow, sharing 3rd place with Stockholm, has a score of 94, with British cities Birmingham (88), Nottingham (87), and Sheffield (85) following closely behind. Interestingly, Glasgow had the lowest air pollution out of all 50 cities with 5.6 g/m3. In 2017, the World Health Organisation reported that Glasgow was more polluted than London, however following the introduction of the Low Emission Zone the following year, air quality improved. This only applied to local bus services, so when it is rolled out to all vehicles in 2023, there is expected to be an even bigger improvement in air quality. The UK is experiencing a growing adoption of EVs, with March this year showing the highest volume of electric registrations ever recorded in one month – an increase of 79% from the previous year. However, in terms of air pollution, the UK, in general, is failing to meet legal limits of nitrogen dioxide pollution, largely generated by vehicles, in other cities and areas. According to research, London is 1.9 times over the legal limit for air pollution, followed by South Wales and Eastern England. One of the main reasons for this is increasing levels of private car ownership and traditional vehicles.

The National Farmers Union has updated its report on greenhouse gas emissions . . . using recently released 2020 data. The report said emissions from Canadian agriculture and the production of associated farm inputs is up 35 percent since 1990. NFU Director of Climate Crisis Policy Darrin Qualman will talk about the report and the significance of a 35 per cent increase spread over three decades. The president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities is worried the soaring cost of fuel could push some farmers off the land. Ray Orb says small family farms are looking at an additional one thousand dollars a day to fuel equipment this year, and larger farms upwards of an additional 5 thousand dollars a day. He says government needs to take action like removing the federal carbon taxes to avoid forcing small farmers out of business. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The most recent report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that the world must halt the increase in greenhouse gases within three years, reduce emissions by 43% in the next seven years, and eliminate them entirely by 2050.  Otherwise, there will likely be catastrophic and irreversible impacts on the climate. With respect […]

We unpack the science of climate attribution, as scientists find South Asia's extreme heatwave was made significantly more likely by climate change. In India, we hear how the record temperatures are inflaming the country's waste problem — literally. And, how transforming transport in Kenya could help the country cut emissions fast.

As the planet continues to heat up, animals big and small are moving towards the poles to escape the heat.  According to researchers, these animals are likely to come into contact with other animals that they normally wouldn't, and are likely to relocate to regions with large human populations.  These factors create opportunities for pathogens […]

Joe Britton is the Executive Director of the Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA), a federal coalition focused on advocating for 100% electric vehicle (EV) sales by 2030. ZETA is committed to enacting policies that drive EV adoption, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, securing American global EV manufacturing dominance, dramatically improve public health, and significantly reducing carbon pollution. In this episode, Gil Jenkins speaks with Joe about his experience working on climate policy on Capitol Hill, how the politics around the environment and energy have changed, and what that might mean for passing a massive clean energy incentives package that deals with emissions. Joe also talks about the future of transportation (hint: it's electric), the top policy priorities at ZETA, the key consumer selling points for EVs and charging, and how to overcome common misperceptions in the marketplace.Links:ZETA WebsiteZETA TwitterJoe Britton TwitterHouse Oversight Hearing USPS Electrification Written Testimony, It's Electric: Developing the Postal Service Fleet of the Future, Joe Britton, April 5, 2022Note: Joe Britton (via Pioneer Public Affairs) is a registered climate policy lobbyist for Hannon Armstrong.Episode recorded May 3, 2022Email your feedback to Chad, Gil, and Hilary at climatepositive@hannonarmstrong.comor tweet them to @ClimatePosiPod.

For millennia we have had a stable climate with atmospheric CO2 levels at around 280ppm. Since the Industrial Revolution, the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere has rocketed up to now around 420ppm with the consequent climate chaos we're now witnessing.Can we reverse that? Can we bring atmospheric CO2 levels back down to 280 once more? Today's guest on the podcast, Peter Fiekowsky thinks we can. He has written a book called Climate Restoration which details how to do this - quickly and cheaply (relatively!). To find out more I invited him to come on the podcast this.

Study sponsored by the Department of Energy shows electric shuttles will increase emissions by 40% at Zions National Park. This study does not take into consideration the latest engine technology or renewable and rDME blends of propane which would spread the gap further between clean propane and dirty electricity. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the US specializes in the research and development of renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy systems integration, and sustainable transportation.[2] NREL is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Department of Energy and operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, a joint venture between MRIGlobal and Battelle.[3] Located in Golden, Colorado, NREL is home to the National Center for Photovoltaics, the National Bioenergy Center, and the National Wind Technology Center.Read the study here.

In the fight against global warming we're constantly told to do our bit to reduce green house gas emissions. However, a claim circulating that just ‘100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions' can make any individual effort seem futile. But does this claim mean what you think it means? We look into this and the claim that the pandemic pushed South African stress levels up by 56%. With guests Abbas Panjwani from Fullfact and Kirsten Cosser from Africa Check.
