As wildfires tore through some of LA’s most affluent neighbourhoods, burning down mansions owned by celebrities, some wondered if it might be a turning point in how seriously we take the climate crisis. But climate scientist Joëlle Gergis wasn’t sharing that hope. Instead, Gergis was angered by our heartache for wealthy communities while the impact of climate change disproportionately affects the poor. And to make matters even worse, a climate denier has entered the White House. Now, Gergis is turning her attention to the upcoming election here in Australia, where she says we have a choice to make about how comfortable we are being complicit on climate. Today, climate scientist and contributor to The Saturday Paper, Joëlle Gergis, on why the next election is a fork in the road for our climate.

Did the Tories' flirtation with an anti-green agenda cost them or was the prospect of warm homes and nationalising energy with GB Energy too tantalising to turn down? Maybe it was just time for the Tories to go! Our main paperHaving foreshadowed our curiosity about the current Quarterly Essay on our last pod, your intrepid hosts came for the excellent climate science but might have left before the policy diagnosis in Joëlle Gergis' HIghway to Hell: Climate Change and Australia's Future. It turns out that straying from your lane can be fraught and plagued with pesky potholes like politics and diplomacy, which are, like, totally simple and not at all riddled with their own peculiar complexities. Alas, they tried to make Japan go to rehab and Australia said “no, no, no.” One more thingsLuke's One More Thing is: Listener feedback! The folks from RE-Alliance took issue with a hypothesis floated on our last pod that folks from the regions may feel a sense of pride in the nation-building hosting of renewable energy infra. That's a big fat NO according to research done by the RE-Alliance crew. Well then.Tennant's One More Thing is: HumeLink has been approved (economically, by the AER).

As the southern hemisphere summer approaches, Joëlle Gergis spoke with Panu and Thomas about her most recent book Humanity's Moment and the unique emotional challenges of confronting the human and wildlife toll of climate disasters in Australia. Joëlle Gergis is an award-winning climate scientist and writer from the Australian National University. Joëlle was a lead author on the IPCC 6th Assessment report: Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis. Joelle spoke with Panu and Thomas about her most recent book Humanity's Moment and the emotional challenges of confronting the severe human and wildlife toll of climate disasters in Australia. As Joelle noted, Australia is one of the world's most vulnerable developed nations in terms of climate disruptions as well as a leader in fossil fuel production. So, Australians' efforts at coping and making change are important learning for others around the globe.
This year is shaping up to be the hottest year in 125,000 years. It may also be the coolest year a child born today will ever see. In “The Quickening,” science writer Elizabeth Rush documents her journey to Antarctica's infamous “doomsday” glacier as she contemplates what it would mean for her to have a child at this time of radical change. In “Humanity's Moment,” IPCC climate scientist Joëlle Gergis wrestles with their own questions of how we can all find enough hope to restore our relationships with ourselves, each other and the environment.

Floods. Fires. Plague. We've seen them all in the past few years, fuelling a renewed sense of an unpredictable world. Add to this the galloping pace of technological change (ChatGPT anyone?) and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. What shocks lie ahead? And what kind of resilience do we need to build to ensure we are prepared? Hear from three thinkers as they discuss climate change, health, technology, and look over the horizon to explore what is to come. Joëlle Gergis, Norman Swan, and Toby Walsh appeared with Julianne Schultz.This event was presented by the Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Sydney.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWApril 3rd 2023Produced by Vivien LangfordHUMANITY'S MOMENT BY JOELLE GERGIS Guests: Joelle Gergis, CHristie Wilson and Charles Le FeuvreJoëlle Gergis – Humanity's Moment : A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope is the first in our PSC in Conversation series for 2023. Begun in 2022, the series is designed to invite deeper conversation about the emotional and existential dimensions of climate change, looking at some of Australia's most interesting thinkers on this topic. Dr Joëlle Gergis is an award-winning climate scientist and writer. She is an internationally recognised expert in Australian and Southern Hemisphere climate variability and change who has authored over 100 scientific publications. Joëlle is a lead author on the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report — a global, state-of-the art review of climate change science.Joëlle will be talking with PSC's Charles Le Feuvre, about her latest book, Humanity's Moment: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope.In Humanity's Moment, Joëlle takes us through the science in the IPCC report with unflinching honesty, explaining what it means for our future, while sharing her personal reflections on bearing witness to the heartbreak of the climate emergency unfolding in real time. But this is not a lament for a lost world. It is an inspiring reminder that human history is an endless tug-of-war for social justice. We are each a part of an eternal evolutionary force that can transform our world. Joëlle shows us that the solutions we need to live sustainably already exist – we just need the social movement and political will to create a better world.
Not all of our topics are easy to discuss, but we know it's important to address everything a School Business Official might face. Today, we tackle the political side of the job with Dr. Sam Gergis, Assistant Superintendent for Business at Sayville Public Schools. Dr. Gergis has a wealth of knowledge and experience, taking us from athletic facilities use to approaching longstanding problems that have plagued a district forever.
"We're really starting to witness serious climate extremes that can no longer be ignored. And the IPCC, one of our key conclusions to that report was that effectively the human fingerprint on the climate system is now undeniable. It is now an established fact that we have warmed every single continent, every ocean basin on the planet. And again, that's a pretty serious thing to contemplate that human activity from the burning of fossil fuels and the clearing of land has led to this energy imbalance in the earth system, which is leading to a rapidly shifting climate."Dr. Joëlle Gergis is an award-winning climate scientist and writer at the Australian National University. She served as a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and is the author of Humanity's Moment: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Sunburnt Country: The History and Future of Climate Change in Australia.

And the truth is that we all have to reconcile it in some way. And you can either be really consumed by those darker emotions and that feeling that people don't care. Or you can just try and see beauty where it is and connect with other people who are also doing their very best. So I think this kind of binary thinking of black and white people are good or bad isn't quite right. There's just shades of gray and sometimes people do the best that they can from day to day, but other times we just have to. I guess it's a sense of being stubborn and believing that there is goodness out there."http://joellegergis.comhttps://climatehistory.com.auwww.blackincbooks.com.au/authors/jo-lle-gergiswww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

“I guess removing the social license for the continued destruction of our planet has to shift. And this is where these social movements become really inspiring to think about it because it always just takes a small group of really committed people to shift a social norm. And I quote some research in the book, which basically says you only need about 25% of a population to shift a norm, and then the rest of the population goes with those progressive elements. So right now we're in this moment where we're basically saying No More Fossil Fuels. We are cooking the planet. This is what the world's scientific community - that's what we are saying. We're cooking the planet. We must stop. And I guess the challenge here is to get enough people from all over the world, from all different parts of society, not just the scientific community, because we're only just a very, very small fraction people that make up our communities, but we need to mobilize people in a huge way to vote for our politicians at every level. From the local to the federal level who are going to reflect our values around shifting to a sustainable future, and choosing to leave a legacy, which is more one of care and repair rather than just complete destruction.And we owe it to the young people. There's a chapter in my book where I talk about intergenerational damage. I don't think it's fair to leave this burden on the shoulders of young people. We have to take that responsibility here and now for all of us in positions where we do have political power or economic power through the way we consume. We have to do what we can. It's really up to decision-makers and the people in power because they're really doing that to put pressure on our decision-makers. And I guess that's really where the rest of the community can play a role in that. And that's where I think it's quite exciting because that's how all social movements happen.

He really instilled this whole idea that education is the key to a better life, and that it's the great equalizer. So my heritage is from Egypt, so they were not wealthy. When my dad studied at university, he was able to break out of his social background, and it allowed him to move into other areas and create a better life, not just for him but for us.And I think that it was very formative for me because it made me realize that anyone from anywhere can change their life if they're really determined - but it doesn't mean we all have equal access to equal resources. And my dad had to work really, really hard, as have I and many people around the world. It's like, at the end of the day, all you can do is really the best with what you've got. And I guess I've tried to do the best with what I've got and he certainly did his best with what he was able to do in his life.The reason why I became a scientist, to be honest, is because of my deep love for the natural world and living in a country like Australia, which is absolutely extraordinary. You know, we have more unique plants and animals than anywhere on the planet. So more than places like Brazil or Papua New Guinea or Madagascar, these places you think of as being richly biodiverse. Australia actually tops the list, just in terms of the uniqueness of our natural environment. And so growing up in a place like that really infuses into your pores.

"So right now the world is fueled by the burning of oil, gas, and coal, and a lot of people are making a lot of money out of that. Whereas with things like renewable energy, you can put solar panels on your rooftop, and all of a sudden you're not paying anything in terms of an electricity price. If you happen to live in a sunny country like Australia, you end up getting your electricity for free from the sun, which is extraordinary, but actually renewable energy is the cheapest form of electricity over 60% of the Earth's surface, which again is an amazing thing to think about. And yet we haven't tapped the full potential, less than a third of global energy is generated by things like solar and wind, and other renewable energy sources. So there's a really huge potential, but it is that moment where we can transition into a low-impact, sustainable future.So I see that as a really positive thing, but we're in this moment where we're transitioning from an old technology into a new technology.

Whereas with things like renewable energy, you can put solar panels on your rooftop, and all of a sudden you're not paying anything in terms of an electricity price. If you happen to live in a sunny country like Australia, you end up getting your electricity for free from the sun, which is extraordinary, but actually renewable energy is the cheapest form of electricity over 60% of the Earth's surface, which again is an amazing thing to think about. And yet we haven't tapped the full potential, less than a third of global energy is generated by things like solar and wind, and other renewable energy sources. So there's a really huge potential, but it is that moment where we can transition into a low-impact, sustainable future.So I see that as a really positive thing, but we're in this moment where we're transitioning from an old technology into a new technology. And if you stop and think about history, where we went from people who used to have a horse and cart, and then they went to automobiles. It's the same sort of thing.

He really instilled this whole idea that education is the key to a better life, and that it's the great equalizer. So my heritage is from Egypt, so they were not wealthy. When my dad studied at university, he was able to break out of his social background, and it allowed him to move into other areas and create a better life, not just for him but for us.And I think that it was very formative for me because it made me realize that anyone from anywhere can change their life if they're really determined - but it doesn't mean we all have equal access to equal resources. And my dad had to work really, really hard, as have I and many people around the world. It's like, at the end of the day, all you can do is really the best with what you've got. And I guess I've tried to do the best with what I've got and he certainly did his best with what he was able to do in his life.The reason why I became a scientist, to be honest, is because of my deep love for the natural world and living in a country like Australia, which is absolutely extraordinary. You know, we have more unique plants and animals than anywhere on the planet. So more than places like Brazil or Papua New Guinea or Madagascar, these places you think of as being richly biodiverse. Australia actually tops the list, just in terms of the uniqueness of our natural environment. And so growing up in a place like that really infuses into your pores.

You know the latest IPCC* Assessment Report? The one that came out at the end of 2021 that the UN secretary general dubbed “Code Red for humanity”? Australian climate scientist Joëlle Gergis was one of its lead authors responsible for its 3 million words of truly stark wake-up-call content.This episode I catch up with her at the Byron Writer's Festival (where she was launching her new book on climate grief) and volley her with questions compiled by my Substack membership community.What does the report predict for Australia in 20 years? What can I tell my Dad when he says “we've always had climate warming cycles”? Is carbon capture and storage a furphy? Joelle rallies off the facts, but also shares a beautiful wisdom on climate grief, or “solastalgia” as it's often called. * International Panel on Climate ChangeGrab Joëlle's book now Humanity's Moment: A climate scientist's case for hope....If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" page.

We could be in for another wet, cloudy summer. The chances of another La Niña weather event are growing, and it's now very likely the east coast of Australia will be drenched once again. That could make it the riskiest summer yet for flooding, with catchments still full and communities still regrouping. Today, climate scientist and lead author on the IPCC's most recent climate assessment, Joëlle Gergis, on our never-ending stretch of rainy summers and what they mean for the climate disaster.

IPCC scientist Dr Joëlle Gergis joins The Women's Agenda Podcast The science of climate change can be overwhelming, upsetting, and leave us tempted to turn away. Dr Joëlle Gergis is a leading climate scientist and lead author on the UN's IPCC. She's determined to make climate science accessible to everyone, and demonstrate the case for hope along with the tipping point within reach that could see us getting close to the response the planet needs. She asks: Do you want to be part of the legacy that restores our faith in humanity?As one of only a dozen Australian scientists on the IPCC's Sixth Assessment report, and working in a male-dominated field, she saw the opportunity to bring emotion into the conversation and to connect the head with the heart.Joëlle's book Humanity's Moment: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope is published just this week, by Black Inc.

As many of you know, at the beginning of May, the United States Supreme Court experienced an unprecedented leak of a draft opinion on the Dobbs v. Jackson case currently being adjudicated by the Supreme Court. The opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito Jr., and, if it ends up reflecting the Court's decision due this month, would overturn nearly 50 years of abortion law under the landmark Roe v. Wade case, which ruled that many then-current restrictions on abortion were unconstitutional, and guaranteed nationwide access to abortion through the first two trimesters of pregnancy. Roe, and the subsequent Casey v. Planned Parenthood have paved the way for laws that in many states, allow abortion very late into pregnancy. Abortion is a very tricky topic, and a very sensitive one for people on all sides of the issue. But we feel like we have a duty as citizens to become educated on important matters like this, and our faith must have something to say on issues in which life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are at stake. Elder Oaks recently stated: "On contested issues we seek to moderate and unify." In that spirit, we explored the issue from several angles, starting from a factual perspective — diving into the specifics of what's going on and what the practical stakes are, then moving into what our faith might be asking of us as we seek to create a world that is just and equitable; one that honors both agency and life. I'm sure we weren't perfect as we navigated this territory, but we did the best we could to show respect to the values and humanity that inform people of good faith on either side. This conversation comes in two parts; in the first, we spoke with Sherif Girgis, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, who also clerked for Justice Alito of the U.S. Supreme Court as well as for our friend Thomas B. Griffith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. When we asked Judge Griffith who would be the most qualified voice we could bring on the show, he unhesitatingly recommended Sherif. Sherif earned his J.D. at Yale Law School, where he served as an editor of the Yale Law Journal, and is currently completing his Ph.D. in philosophy at Princeton. Sherif helped us understand the current state of abortion law in the US as well as what it could look like after a decision is made on Dobbs. After speaking with Sherif, we spoke with Latter-day Saint scholars Justin Collings and Jenet Erickson. Justin Collings is Associate Dean for Faculty and Curriculum at BYU and a Professor at the J. Reuben Clark School of Law at BYU, where he's been since 2013. He is a scholar of constitutional law, comparative constitutional law, and constitutional history, and received his law degree and his PhD in History both from Yale.Jenet Erickson is an associate professor in the Department of Church History and Doctrine in BYU Religious Education. Her research has focused on maternal and child well-being in the context of work and family life, as well as the distinct contributions of mothers and fathers in children's development. She is a research fellow of both the Wheatley Institution and the Institute for Family Studies and has been a columnist on family issues for the Deseret News since 2013.Justin and Jenet brought this conversation home in terms of what it means for Latter-day Saints. We found them incredibly insightful and empathetic, and helped us see this issue in new ways — we think they'll do the same for you. The conversation with Justin and Jenet led to some really spirit-filled and practical takeaways for Latter-day Saints who want to be thoughtful, engaged, and loving on this issue. We're deeply grateful to them for coming on.

“Doing the right thing is not equal to doing things right”. This really stuck with me after discussing how to create effective data science solutions with Deena Gergis. It would be easy to create a solution ‘just' from the technical side, but more often than not, your solution might not get used at all that way. Partnering with your stakeholders, and building this solution together is the right way to do it. And it starts by having an equal level conversation with each other. Some of the topics we cover this episode, in order
Good leaders know how to be selective with the opportunities they say YES to, and when it's more strategic to say NO.

Dr Joëlle Gergis is an award-winning Australian climate scientist and writer, currently teaching at the Australian National University. She's the author of the book “The Sunburnt Country. The History and Future of Climate Change in Australia”. Joëlle is also one of the dozen or so Australian lead authors working on the IPCC's upcoming 6th assessment - in addition to her full-time teaching load. The results of the refined climate models that she and her fellow scientists are working on terrify her. While the final IPCC report won't be published until 2022, the results are available now – and they're terrifying. She wakes up in the middle of the night with terrifying dreams of tsunamis. She's been brave enough, and honest enough to share publicly exactly what terrifies her and why. In this podcast she reads aloud her piece in The Monthly - “Witnessing the Unthinkable”. Thanks to the State Library of Victoria, we can also share her launch speech for “Sunburnt Country” in 2018, which Tim Flannery calls “a marvelous investigation of Australia's climate, and how we are affecting it”. Our thanks to Tom Day and The General Assembly for their music used in this episode.
