It's no secret that the Paris Agreement and voluntary efforts to address climate change are failing. Governments have spent three decades crafting international rules to manage the climate crisis yet have made little progress on decarbonization. In Existential Politics: Why Global Climate Institutions Are Failing and How to Fix Them (Princeton UP, 2025), Jessica Green explains why this is unsurprising: governments have misdiagnosed the political problem of climate change, focusing relentlessly on measuring, reporting, and trading emissions. This technical approach of “managing tons” overlooks the ways in which climate change and climate policy will revalue assets, creating winners and losers. Policies such as net zero, carbon pricing, and offsets primarily benefit the losers—owners of fossil assets.Ultimately, Green contends, climate change is a political problem. Climate politics should be understood as existential—creating conflicts that arise when some actors face the prospect of the devaluation or elimination of their assets or competition from the creation of new ones. Fossil asset owners, such as oil and gas companies and electric utilities, stand to lose trillions in the energy transition. Thus, they are fighting to slow decarbonization and preserve the value of their assets. Green asset owners, who will be the basis of the decarbonized economy, are fewer in number and relatively weak politically.Green proposes using international tax, finance, and trade institutions to create new green asset owners and constrain fossil asset owners, reducing their clout. Domestic investments in green assets, facilitated by global trade rules, can build the political power of green asset owners. Our guest is Jessica Green, a Professor in the Department of Political Science and the School of the Environment at the University of Toronto.

In the first episode of our two-part World Mayors Summit special, we heard from mayors around the world about the power of convenings like the Summit to unite city leaders and spark collaboration. In this second episode, we explore what that collaboration looks like in practice, from new approaches to urban planning and the challenge of energy-hungry data centres, to fossil-free trucks and greener and cleaner shipping routes.We also explore the outcomes for cities that came out of COP30 with voices from people who were on the ground in Belém…and also from a Brazilian climate leader who had a front-row seat before, during, and after what many have been calling the most important COP since the Paris Agreement.

En este nuevo episodio, tengo el privilegio de hablar con Pablo Honey, Jefe de Diseño en Automattic (Automattic es dueña de WordPress.com, que es la versión alojada de WordPress). Pablo ha trabajado en proyectos para marcas como Nike, Volvo, Fossil, y Camper, y hoy me revela cómo se llega a ese nivel. Esta es una conversación sin filtros que va mucho más allá del diseño, tocando la fibra del esfuerzo, la ambición, la visión a largo plazo y cómo el criterio humano se enfrenta a la Inteligencia Artificial. Esto es lo que no te puedes perder de la entrevista:El Lado Oscuro de la Ambición: Hablamos sin tapujos sobre el mito y la realidad de "trabajar todas las horas del mundo" (incluso dormir en la oficina) y si la famosa jornada 9-9-6 es una clave para llegar a liderar el diseño en grandes marcas globales.Criterio vs. IA: Pablo me explica cuál es la postura de Automattic ante el boom tecnológico y por qué su objetivo es no darle el pensamiento a la IA. La clave, según él, está en el conocimiento para tener criterio.Diseño y Filosofía: Descubre por qué Pablo insiste en que el diseño es un proceso, no una meta, y cómo la visión a largo plazo determina el éxito en un equipo global.El Mapa de la Inspiración: Analizamos la complejidad de convivir entre Barcelona, Suiza y Nueva York, y cómo esa vida multilocal con constantes inputs se convierte en la principal fuente de inspiración para diseñar.Si buscas entender la estrategia que mueve a las empresas más grandes del sector y cómo desarrollar un criterio profesional a prueba de tecnología, tienes que escuchar esta charla con Pablo Honey.Hago vídeos y podcast para inspirarte a hacer cosas.Si quieres contribuir puedes:- Comprar en mi marca Minimalism: - Comprar mi último libro FIRMADO: - Reservar una consultoría (solo 2 por semana): Patrocinio de hola Fly 5%: Openholafly.

As world leaders gather in Johannesburg for the G20 Leaders' Summit, a coalition of climate activist groups and affected communities are marching against TotalEnergies TODAY in Rosebank in Johannesburg. They are calling for an end to fossil fuel investments and a shift to renewable energy. The activists say TotalEnergies' oil and gas expansion has caused "environmental destruction, land dispossession and human rights violations, under the false promises of development and progress.

International Bankruptcy, Restructuring, True Crime and Appeals - Court Audio Recording Podcast
This seems like it could be one of those cases that is structured backwards, or as some English practitioners refer to the backwards case structuring - round tripping of the U.S. debt. The court closes the hearing with that parties shouldn't rely on what the court did in this case as precedent for future cases.Per Google AI:Fossil (UK) Global Services Ltd. is a UK subsidiary of the fashion accessories company Fossil Group, Inc. that has recently been involved in a debt restructuring. It is now the entity used for the UK restructuring plan which was sanctioned by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, and also recognized by a U.S. bankruptcy court. The restructuring plan involved canceling $150 million in unsecured notes and issuing new notes to create a more durable capital structure. Purpose: The entity was created to implement a restructuring plan in the UK to deal with the company's debt.Restructuring details: The plan was a court-sanctioned restructuring of $150 million in unsecured notes, with the High Court sanctioning the plan in early November 2025.International recognition: Fossil (UK) Global Services Ltd. also sought and received recognition of its UK restructuring plan from a U.S. bankruptcy court under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This ensures the plan is binding on U.S. creditors.Legal status: The company was registered in the UK on August 8, 2025. It is a private limited company with a registered office in Milton Keynes.Information: For investors holding the notes, an information agent is available for password-protected website access, and more information can be found on the Fossil Group's investor relations page.

Talking About Climate Change with Confidence: A Conversation with Dr. Alice Alpert Climate change is a topic that affects every one of us, yet it can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even polarizing. That's why I was excited to welcome Dr. Alice Alpert, Senior Scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund, to the Go Natural English podcast. Dr. Alpert studies emerging climate technologies, evaluates their real-world impact, and works with teams focused on methane, climate policy, and international sustainability partnerships. In our conversation, we explored misconceptions, sources of hope, daily sustainability habits, and clear English vocabulary related to the climate conversation. What Does a Climate Scientist Do? Dr. Alpert evaluates new climate solutions, from clean energy to carbon-removal technologies to sustainable farming. Her work starts with two key questions: Does this solution meaningfully help reduce climate impact? What are the trade-offs or challenges that come with it? Her job is not just to imagine solutions but to determine what actually works. The Biggest Misunderstanding About Climate Change Dr. Alpert explained that a major misconception is the idea that climate action is "all or nothing." People often believe: "It's too late to do anything," or "It's someone else's responsibility." Both mindsets lead to inaction. "You don't have to be perfect," she said. "Every step forward helps. The idea of 'everything or nothing' isn't useful." How She Stays Hopeful Climate news can feel heavy, so I asked what keeps her motivated. Her answer was simple: the future. "I have three kids. That's three votes for the future. We are moving in the right direction, and I think we'll get most of the way there." Her optimism is practical and rooted in evidence. Many climate solutions are already working and becoming more affordable. Misconceptions About Sustainability, Especially in Texas One surprising part of our conversation was about renewable energy in Texas. Many people assume Texas is not sustainable, but the opposite is true. Texas produces more clean energy than any other U.S. state, and by a huge margin. Wind, solar, and battery storage are growing rapidly. Much of this growth is driven by economics, not ideology. "It's the cheapest energy," she said. "People are making money from it." Another misconception is that sustainability is always more expensive. In reality, the cheapest new energy to build today is solar. Short-Term Costs vs. Long-Term Benefits Many sustainable choices cost more upfront but save money over time: installing solar panels, buying an electric vehicle, or purchasing high-quality items that last longer. I shared the example of clothing I've kept for more than a decade. A well-made sweater ended up costing less over time than several cheaper ones. Dr. Alpert agreed. "The upfront investment is real. But long-term thinking matters." Everyday Sustainability: What Works for You Dr. Alpert emphasized that sustainability should be personal and realistic. A few examples we discussed: Thrifting and Secondhand Shopping Buying used items reduces waste and builds community. Reusing Items for Children Circulating children's items among families increases their lifespan and reduces unnecessary purchases. Flexible Eating Habits She chooses what feels natural. She doesn't eliminate any foods, but she eats less beef because she doesn't enjoy it much and knows it has a higher climate impact. Her philosophy is simple: do what works for your lifestyle, not someone else's. Cultural Differences in Sustainability Many listeners of Go Natural English live in the United States but grew up abroad. If that describes you, you may have noticed differences in: recycling habits how food is packaged energy use transportation diet choices We would love to hear about your experiences and what surprised you when comparing sustainability practices around the world. Key English Vocabulary for Talking About Climate Change Because much climate information is published in English, we reviewed several useful terms. Carbon footprint The amount of greenhouse gases created by an activity. Carbon neutral No net increase in emissions; emissions are balanced by removals. Renewable or clean energy Energy sources that do not rely on fossil fuels. Examples include wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and sometimes nuclear. Fossil fuels Coal, oil, and natural gas. Dr. Alpert jokingly compared them to "burning dinosaurs." Move the needle To make a meaningful impact or measurable improvement. In the same boat Facing the same challenge or depending on the same shared resource. Individual Actions and Leadership Actions While individual choices matter, Dr. Alpert pointed out something important: You cannot expect one person to "save the world." Leadership and policy matter too. So how do we hold leaders accountable? Voting, especially at the local level Joining conservation-minded organizations Speaking up through social media or letters Staying informed on local policies Supporting leaders who prioritize clean energy and sustainability These steps make a meaningful difference. Where to Learn More Dr. Alpert recommends two easy places to start: The book "Not the End of the World" by Hannah Ritchie
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, Rick, and Ripley kick off with a philosophical spin on time itself before diving into the irony of Phillips celebrating a watch that resold for less than before, and how auction houses keep fueling inflated prices that manipulate market perception. Ariel revisits his article on the realities of watch auctions, exploring how media hype perpetuates unrealistic valuations. The group then shifts to the retail side as Ariel breaks down why the luxury watch industry's high pricing strategy has created its own worst enemy, and why consumers are growing weary of inflated retail tags. Their conversation expands to the fate of brands like Timex, Daniel Wellington, and Fossil, with sharp insights into how microbrands are reshaping entry level watch culture. They dive into Nick Jonas' Fossil endorsement, questioning if anyone has ever actually seen him wear one or if it's just the most expensive wrist costume in pop history, Trump's “gold bar” moment, and the absurdity of “tiny window” watches. The team closes with two fiery rants, one from Ripley on why the MoonSwatch is not really affordable and another from Ariel on brands that think tiny illegible watch windows are the next big thing
2024 was the hottest year ever recorded. 2025 will probably be even worse. Our planet is heating up. If present trends continue, a UN panel of scientists says it would be “disastrous for humankind.” Fossil fuels, including coal, are major contributors to global warming. So, what is the regime in Washington doing about it? It's promoting fossil fuels with its mantra-like chants “Clean, Beautiful Coal” and “Drill Baby, Drill.” However, energy from the sun and wind is cheaper, more reliable, and better for the climate. And it's growing faster than any energy source in history. Bill McKibben says, “Our liberation and our destruction are arriving at precisely the same time. Everything is going wrong, except this one big thing. Our species, at what feels like a dark moment, can take a giant leap into the light. Of the sun.”

Fossil-fueled climate disruption is driving political instability around the world. The relationship between climate disasters and conflict are well-established — and also complicated. Even in war-torn regions like Israel and Palestine, people work across political and ethnic divides to address humanitarian and climate crises. The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies has helped bring together Israelis, Palestinians, Moroccans, and Jordanians to study and tackle shared environmental challenges. How does climate disruption reshape cross-border relations? And can climate cooperation become a force for peace?

He took the lowest job offer, moved to Dallas with two friends, and launched e-commerce at Fossil before most people knew what it was. In this episode we sit down with John Talbott, senior marketing faculty at the Kelley School of Business, to explore his path from corporate retail to higher education. John shares why he turned down big finance firms, what made retail feel like home, and how a watch company taught him everything about branding, perceived value, and experience. He also reflects on raising a family in Bloomington, influencing future CEOs, and why he still believes brand is a promise, not just a logo.
Many folks have claimed to find Earth's oldest fossils in the Greenland rocks, 3.7 billion years old. Before we meet and judge these contenders, we need to learn what counts as a fossil. This early in Earth history, nothing has any bones or teeth or shells, so researchers need to search for other clues. Today, I'll show you four ways to look for fossils in Earth's oldest rocks, including my personal field of study: fossilized bacteria.

Did you know the Catskill region was once tropical—and south of the equator?! In this episode, Brett Barry visits the Gilboa Museum and Juried History Center to explore one of the oldest fossilized forests on Earth. Education Chair Kristen Wyckoff shares her decades-long passion for paleobotany, the story behind Gilboa's world-famous Devonian tree stumps, and discoveries unearthed during the Schoharie Reservoir construction, dam restoration, and creek bed fossil hunts.From lungfish and sea scorpions to the mysterious “snake tree,” we dig into the prehistoric past of upstate New York and learn how mud, minerals, and mural magic preserve a forest that predates the Catskills themselves.

Uber Green gets a new name as Uber doubles down on electric rides, the world's largest heat battery comes online in California, a massive new floating twin wind turbine from China smashes records, and California tightens fire safety rules after a major grid battery blaze. Plus, why cold wind actually generates more electricity — and why Kia's newest EV comes with a gasoline-scented air freshener. Brian goes all the way to Boston to see a Paul Thomas Anderson film in VistaVision then gets stranded there thanks to Air Canada. Then we discuss the Blue Jays going to the World Series. More chitchat in our extended Patreon episode this week. China's MingYang Ocean X floating wind turbine doubles the size of current designs with 290-meter rotors and 50 MW capacity. James vents about nuclear plans in Saskatchewan More: Nissan's Sakura EV gets a solar roof generating up to 3,000 km of free driving per year. Beyond Meat stock surges over 1,000%. Chinese automakers outsell Toyota in Japan's EV market. Fossil-fuel heat linked to a 38% decline in tropical birds. Finland finds cold air produces more wind energy than warm — but watch out for ice on the blades.

The Cretaceous insects in the family Umenocoleidae have been difficult to classify, but for Soo Bin Lee they are a window into one of the most interesting periods of our prehistoric world. While closely related to the modern cockroaches in order Blattodea, fossil Umenocoleids have been found and researched across the world and found to be present across a larger portion of geologic time than expected. They're linked to the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution, an important period of change when angiosperms, or flowering plants, exploded in diversity and prevalence and changed the development of insects as a result. By examining the tiny and delicate wing venation of fossils, Lee and his coauthors were able to uncover and untangle a new chapter in our knowledge of prehistory. Listen in as Lee draws us into the world of prehistoric creatures, environmental change, and the beauty and complexity of wings.Soo Bin Lee's paper “A new Albian genus and species and two other new species of Umenocoleidae (Dictyoptera) from South Korea” is in volume 166 of Cretaceous ResearchIt can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cretres.2024.106013A transcript of this episode can be found here: Soo Bin Lee - TranscriptNew Species: Umenocoleus minimus, Pseudoblattapterix weoni, Petropterix koreaensisBe sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod
Solar and wind power are outpacing coal for the first time globally. However, the US faces challenges in meeting clean energy goals due to material shortages, a lack of skilled workers, and political roadblocks.

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Something remarkable happened this year. For the first time in history, renewable energy generated more power than coal worldwide. Solar grew thirty-one percent in just six months. Wind and solar together outpaced electricity demand. China built more clean energy in half a year than the rest of the world combined. India's renewable growth beat demand. Their fossil fuel use dropped. Why? Simple economics. Wind and solar are now the cheapest sources of electricity. But here in America, we have a problem. Johns Hopkins researchers just discovered we'll fall thirty-four percent short of our clean energy goals by twenty fifty. Not because renewables cost too much. Because we don't have the materials to build them. Nickel. Silicon. Rare earth elements with names like neodymium and dysprosium. China controls ninety percent of the processing. And last week, they announced export controls. Meanwhile, in Britain... They're creating four hundred thousand clean energy jobs by twenty thirty. Plumbers. Electricians. Welders. Building wind farms. Installing solar panels. Running smart grids. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband put it simply: "Where are the good jobs of the future going to come from? This is the answer." The Sizewell C nuclear plant alone needs ten thousand workers. But here's the rub - they need to triple their welders, double their plumbers. The workers don't exist yet. Down in North Carolina... Duke Energy just announced a new plan. They're delaying wind projects. Extending coal plants. Not because coal is cheaper - it isn't. But because artificial intelligence and data centers are driving electricity demand eight times faster than expected. Glen Snider from Duke says they need reliability while demand surges. The irony? Duke's moving away from the cheapest new sources of power - wind and solar - just when they need the most electricity. They're choosing to extend expensive coal plants that cost more to run. Australia sees opportunity... Treasurer Jim Chalmers is in New York meeting with Blackstone and Wall Street. Australia has lithium, manganese, rare earths. They claim they can deliver the world's lowest-cost renewable electricity by twenty fifty. "Australia has exactly what the world needs, when the world needs it," Chalmers says. Think about this... The technology works. Solar and wind are cheaper than coal. Batteries can store the power. Countries using these technologies are seeing their energy costs drop. But America faces three bottlenecks: First, we don't control the materials. Second, we don't have the skilled workers. Third, states like North Carolina are choosing reliability over cost savings. President Trump calls renewables "a joke." But JP Morgan says something different. They say America will have to use renewable energy whether we like it or not. Nuclear takes too long to build. Fossil fuels cost too much. The numbers tell the story... Britain: Four hundred thousand new jobs. America: Seven hundred thirty gigawatts short of materials. North Carolina: Eight times the demand growth. Global renewables: Cheaper than coal for the first time. We're watching the free market work. The cheapest energy is winning worldwide. Except in places where politics and supply chains get in the way.

Most conversations about the environment fall into polarized camps — either denial or panic. But living responsibly doesn't have to be political or extreme. In this episode, I take a practical look at what stewardship can look like at home, from how we grow food to how we build, heat, and maintain the spaces we live in. For our family, that means raising chemical-free produce and livestock, managing soil through regenerative practices, and thinking about proximity so we can walk, bike, and rely less on cars. The result is healthier food, healthier soil and less dependence on the systems that created most of today's environmental problems. We've learned that smaller and simpler often means smarter. A compact, well-insulated home cuts energy use and forces intentional living — less waste, less clutter, and fewer pointless purchases. The same mindset applies to energy: we combine solar power with conventional fuel instead of pretending one option solves everything. We avoid plastics where possible, use natural materials that last, and work with nature instead of against it. That means embracing weeds where they serve a purpose, using biodiversity instead of monocultures, and letting natural cycles do the work we once tried to control. I also unpack why large-scale mandates, like the EU's plan to ban new fossil-fuel cars by 2035, sound good in theory but overlook the realities of infrastructure, materials, and trade-offs. Real change won't come from legislation alone; it happens when individuals choose differently — when we buy less, waste less, and make each decision with the long view in mind. The goal isn't perfection, it's progress: small, sustainable choices that make our lives and our planet better over time. If that approach resonates with you, share this episode with someone who's trying to live more intentionally. Real stewardship doesn't start with politics — it starts with practice.

Nearly 30 years ago, Newport resident Kent Gibson headed out with his dog to the beach one day to look for agate and jasper, types of gemstones he collected as a hobby at the time. He picked up what looked like a baseball-sized rock, threw it for his dog to fetch and then took it home for his dog to play with. But it turns out it wasn’t a rock. It was a fossil of a skull from a porpoise that lived 20 million years ago. That discovery sparked a new calling for Gibson as an amateur fossil collector. The Salem Statesman Journal shared that story and more in its recent profile of the retired Newport harbormaster and his amazing skill at finding fossils, mostly of prehistoric marine mammals and fish. Gibson estimates his collection now numbers between 5 and 6,000 fossils, some of which he can spend 100 hours or more painstakingly cleaning to reveal skulls, vertebrae, ribs or other prehistoric bones encased in sediment and rock. Gibson hopes to donate his collection some day to the Condon Fossil Collection at the University of Oregon’s Museum of Natural and Cultural History, but the facility doesn’t currently have the space to house it. Gibson joins us to talk about his amazing paleontological finds and tips for fellow fossil hunters.

Synopsis:Will you be willing to convert to an electric mode of transportation, which costs 25-30% less than fuel and also zero carbon emissions? Better climate action at a cheaper cost.On this episode, our guest, Seyifunmi Oguntade, the Founder/ CEO of Swap Energies, took us on a thrilling adventure on how he and his team convert already existing internal combustion engines to electric energy, and its climate implications (as approximately 5 million keke [tricycle] operate each day, causing excessive carbon emission per day). Seyi talked about innovation (8:01) and creativity, and how the main drive should be towards combining profitability and positive impact on the environment. He further expressed that Nigeria (16:10) can only be built by Nigerians themselves, and the government is a reflection of the people at large. To have a good government, we start by having good people. As an entrepreneur, our guest suggests (26:35) that you have something to show when applying for grants or financing. This will help to ensure your success because investors want to see evidence that you are not just a business idea but a successful innovation.On this episode, you will learn about:1. Fossil fuel usage in Nigeria is gradually phasing out. 2. Electric Vehicle (EV) is the future, and the Nigerian market will slowly transition.3. The Nigerian transport market is highly gatekept by traditional fossil fuel players, making the barrier to entry even harder for EV technology. Listen and get the full gist. Happy listening.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi discusses fossil fuel subsidies with Paasha Mahdavi, an associate professor and cofounder of the 2035 Initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara. They talk about how subsidies on goods such as gasoline and diesel lead to lower prices for consumers. However, because these subsidies encourage the use of fossil fuels, reforming such policies is important when promoting the use of renewable energy. Mahdavi explores why many attempts to reform fossil fuel subsidies have failed, and he proposes potential avenues for addressing the weaknesses of reforms which could lead to failure of the subsidies.

Tonight, we'll read “Pop Corn Recipes” by Mary Hamilton Talbott, published in 1916. Corn was domesticated about 10,000 years ago, in what is now Mexico. Archaeologists discovered that people have known about popcorn for thousands of years. Fossil evidence from Peru suggests that corn was popped as early as 4,700 BC. Through the 19th century, popping of the kernels was achieved by hand, on stove tops. During the Great Depression, popcorn was fairly inexpensive at 5–10 cents a bag and became popular. Thus, while other businesses failed, the popcorn business thrived and became a source of income for many struggling farmers, including the Redenbacher family. The snack was popular at theaters, much to the initial displeasure of many of the theater owners, who thought it distracted from the films. Their minds eventually changed, however, and Popcorn became more profitable than theater tickets. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

I sat down with Mike Wilkerson, a former teenage hacker turned chiropractor and independent researcher, for a mind-bending conversation that explores alternative history, non-standard cosmologies, gigantism, and rapid petrification. We dive into the wild territory of his new research: giant ancient trees, petrified megafauna, and the possibility that many geological formations are actually biological in origin. Mike explains why he believes our geology, cosmology, and timelines have been deliberately skewed, and how “paradigm blindness” keeps even well-intentioned experts from seeing what's in front of them.Along the way, we explore the role of AI in narrative control (and potential liberation), the problem with peer review, and why compartmentalization allows falsehoods to persist for generations. If you're ready for a conversation that questions everything from space travel to the origin of stone, and invites you to look at the mountains around you in a whole new way, this episode will challenge and expand your worldview. You can pre-order Mike's new book, The Hacker Prince, before its release on September 17.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.
