Sometimes You Have to Get Lost to Find YourselfMark Anello thought he had it all figured out, but life had other plans. At 34, the suburban math teacher is unceremoniously dumped by his stand-up comedian boyfriend, leaving him feeling stuck and uninspired in Los Angeles. Desperate for a change, Mark flees to San Francisco, where he encounters Alessandro, a charming but disillusioned Italian tourist trapped in a loveless relationship. Their connection is immediate, and after months of long-distance emails, Mark follows his heart to Rome.But love doesn't come easy. After three passionate summers together, Mark begins to sense Alessandro slipping away, embarking on new adventures while Mark is left to question everything. Left high and dry in a foreign country, heartbroken and alone, Mark stumbles into a new world—a seductive, high-stakes scene of neo-Bohemians, aristocrats, and avant-garde artists. Yet beneath the glamorous surface lurks a darker reality: a dangerous web of drugs, lust, and even murder in the elite European art circles.On the brink of destruction, Mark must navigate his way through the chaos to discover a new sense of self. As the world begins to heal from a global pandemic, he returns home transformed—armed with the hard-earned wisdom to embrace love on his own terms, let go of what no longer serves him, and face the future with clarity and compassion.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Bærekraftseventyr med Jørgensen & Pedersen

Trigget av Lars Jacobs nye styreverv, som leder oss inn i samtaler om både alkoholkonsum og klimagassutslipp, sparker Sveinung i gang en samtale om hvorvidt vi er på spor med hensyn til klimagasskutt. Det er lett å bli deprimert av et slikt spørsmål, men vi koser oss veldig med samtalen likevel. Vi starter med en meditasjon over Enova som et av statens viktigste virkemidler i omstillingen til lav- eller sågar nullutslippssamfunnet. Vi diskuterer hvor utbredt nullutslippsidealet har blitt, på kryss og tvers av ulike faglige og profesjonelle miljøer. Vi snakker om barn som fagfellevurderere i forskningssammenheng, basert på det nye paperet til Cicero-forskeren Glen Peters. Vi snakker om fantastiske bandnavn, konkluderer med at vi ikke har tid til å starte band akkurat nå som det er så fint vær, og Sveinung påpeker at vi har snakket mye sammen de siste årene. Og at vi har snakket med andre folk også. Ja, vi vet at du kommer til denne podcasten for den slags mindblowing content. Vi peker tilbake til alumnigjengen vår på NHH Executive og snakker om dobbelheten mellom optimisme og pessimisme. Det får oss til å love bokbad om "Third Millennium Thinking", peker til Hans Rosling og Steven Pinker, og spør oss om det ikke tross alt er god grunn til å være deprimert når det gjelder klimaet. Vi spør oss om vi har barns intellektuelle nivå, vurderer treffsikkerheten til magefølelsen vår, mimrer tilbake til praten vår med Bjørn Samset og snakker om hans gode bøker "2070" og "Embla". Det får oss til å dykke ned i kraften i optimistiske narrativer, hopper ned i vitenskapsteoretiske raptuser, Lars Jacob henviser til begrepet "vibecession" og den amerikanske forfatteren Kyla Scanlon, mister tråden og finner den igjen, og Sveinung benytter sjansen til å smette inn matematikeren Pierre de Fermat. Det blir tyngdekraft og skjoldbruskkjertler, samfunnsteori og henvisning til DN-kronikken til vår NHH-kollega Gunnar Eskeland om statlig støtte til grønne løsninger. Lars Jacobs balanseutfordringer i barndom og voksenliv, motvilje til tekstmeldingsskriving i kjøretøy i bevegelse og anvendbarhet i bedriftsligaens andre divisjon kommer også opp, og da er det best å runde av episoden.

Kan vi ikke bare inkludere skogens CO2-opptak i Norges klimamål?

Norge har mye skog som binder store mengder CO2. Ved ujevne mellomrom har politikere foreslått at Norge bør inkludere skogens CO2-opptak i klimamålet.  – Et forståelig men lite gjennomtenkt forslag, sier Lars Ursin og forklarer hvorfor i denne podkast-episoden.   Da EU oppdaterte sitt klimamål for 2030 under Parisavtalen valgte unionen å inkludere CO2-opptak i skog i målet. Det har fått enkelte politikere og samfunnsdebattanter i Norge til å tenke: Hvorfor kan ikke vi også gjøre det? Norge har mye skog, og i 2022 var det et netto opptak av CO2-i skogen i Norge på 17,9 millioner tonn CO2. Norges klimagassutslipp fra petroleum, industri, transport, jordbruk og de øvrige sektorene som inngår i klimagassregnskapet var på 48,9 millioner tonn CO2-ekvivalenter, samme år. Det betyr at hadde vi trukket opptaket av CO2 fra utslippene, ville Norges klimagassregnskap med et knips sett mye bedre ut. – Det er lett å skjønne hvorfor noen tenker at det ville vært behagelig. For med et sånt grep forsvinner en tredel av utslippene våre ut av regnskapet. Men det er gode grunner til å ikke gjøre det, sier Lars Ursin. Han er redaktør for forskningsformidling i Norsk klimastiftelse og har nylig publisert temanotatet Klima, natur og areal  – 14 spørsmål og svar om arealbrukssektoren I denne podkast-episoden forklarer han hvordan det egentlig står til med den norske skogens CO2-opptak, hvorfor opptaket kan svinge med mange millioner fra ett år til et annet, og hvorfor det ikke er en god ide for Norge å inkludere opptak av CO2 i klimamålet når EU gjør det. I samtalen nevner Lars Ursin to ekspertintervjuer om skog- og arealbrukssektoren. Du finner disse her:  Nei, ikke gjør det!

This episode is about environmental alarmism. Alarmism means exaggerating danger and thereby causing needless worry or panic. These days the media is flooded with proclamations and predictions of ecological catastrophe. There is no doubt that our environmental challenges are many, and huge, and they certainly do present dangers. But are they being seen in the context of broader developmental challenges and associated trade-offs? Or in the context of humankind's past achievements, and our ability to adapt? And is alarmist rhetoric the best way to motivate action to deal with them? Among the people offering answers to questions like these, is this month's guest on The Case for Conservation Podcast, Matt Ridley.Matt was, until he retired last year, an elected member of the UK Parliament's House of Lords. He's been been writer and/or editor for The Economist and The Wall Street Journal, among other publications, and his non-fiction books have sold more than a million copies. They include "The Rational Optimist", "The Evolution of Everything", "How Innovation Works" and, most recently, "Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19".

This is a special edition of the podcast, the Big IPCC edit.IPCC reports are notoriously hard to read - they are long and very technical. This means that few people actually read them.But they matter to all of us - the insights from these reports affect the way we vote, invest, consume and just generally how we live our lives.To make this bumper episode, I talked to three different authors from three chapters in the latest Working Group 3 report on mitigation solutions.Demand-side solutions, a fast growing area of knowledge, the new, good news chapter of the entire reportInvestment and finance - volume of literature on this tripled between previous 2014 assessment and this oneLong-term emissions pathways - the heart of net zeroIn the second segment, I talk to Joyashree Roy, Coordinating Lead Author for the new chapter on demand, services and social aspects of mitigation. This is a big deal, as previous reports focused mostly on supply-side solutions like renewable energies. But this report shows with high confidence that demand-side strategies can reduce 40-70% of emissions across all sectors.But first, I talk to Christa Clapp and Glen Peters from the CICERO Centre for International Climate Research in Norway.Our conversation is an important primer for anyone who wants to get their head around net zero. Among the highlights: why the “three more years to reduce emissions” thing is wrong. Why peak emissions are an important signal for the oil and gas sector, and why does the report have an entire chapter on finance and investment, yet the IPCC doesn’t target financial decision makers with its report?We also talk about #climatetwitter - how is it changing and what does that mean for the IPCC and its reports?What we talked about:Part One: Christa Clapp and Glen Peters2.35 The finance chapter is 3 times bigger than in the previous assessment. A lot is happening, but we still don’t know the impact of that activity6.31 Why “three more years to reduce the emissions curve” is an error, one that sends the wrong signal about having more time10.02 What is “peak emissions” and why does it matter? In fact, what matters most is the reduction after the peak. (Glen)11:59 The language around peak emissions matters to the oil and gas sector because it affects decisions around when to reduce production. Most oil and gas majors in their scenarios have emissions peaking between 2030 and 2040.15.44 Emissions were back at 2019 levels in 2021. So we’re essentially at a new peak emisssions. 18.20 War in Ukraine is driving new interest in nuclear, and we’re starting to see nuclear energy deals being labelled as green.22.08 Everyone agrees climate specialists from different areas such as finance and carbon cycle specialists should communicate and collaborate more, but there are many barriers.27.08 Glen says that an Integrated Assessment Model is like a jack of all trades but a master of none. 28.22 The finance sector is a whole new consumer group for climate scenarios, and sometimes this means they use the scenarios in a way they weren’t intended. We should be clearer about what the models are doing and not doing, and provide extra information.29.21 The IPCC doesn’t target financial decision makers as an audience with their reports. 30.18 One thing the scientific literature shows is that all the activity in the finance sector is focused on financial regulation around climate risk transparency, which builds capacity within institutions but does not, for the moment, drive emissions reductions. 34.33. Glen talks about climate twitter and how it’s changed in recent years.Part Two: Joyashree Roy42:02 Literature on demand solutions has proliferated since the Fifth Assessment, especially from the social sciences.44.38 Lifestyle and behaviour changes can reduce energy demand and our carbon footprint without reducing our wellbeing49:07 Demand-side strategies can reduce 40-70% of emissions across all sectors.53:53 A big focus of the literature is human desire for health and wellbeing over accumulation of material goods. In order to drive more sustainable consumption patterns, we need social movements, role models to support social acceptability of these new patterns of consumption.57:06 Policies can change behaviour, for example putting a tax on status consumption items.1:05 We need to set wellbeing as our goal and not income and material accumulation.Thanks for listening!☕☕☕ If you enjoyed this ad-free podcast and feel that you’ve learned something, you can say thank you by buying me a coffee.

The underlying political and economic drivers of climate change are complicated, and the issue has become political. My goal in this discussion was to get a more realistic understanding of what climate change actually means. What is the damage that we have already done, and what can we expect moving forward? Is climate change an existential threat? Have we reached peak carbon?

In many ways, the global carbon budget is like any other budget. There’s a maximum amount we can spend, and it must be allocated to various countries and various needs. But how do we determine how much carbon each country can emit? Can developing countries grow their economies without increasing their emissions? And if a large portion of China’s emissions come from products  made for American and European consumption, who’s to blame for those emissions? On episode 18 of Not Cool, Ariel is joined by Glen Peters, Research Director at the Center for International Climate Research (CICERO) in Oslo. Glen explains the components that make up the carbon budget, the complexities of its calculation, and its implications for climate policy and mitigation efforts. He also discusses how emissions are allocated to different countries, how emissions are related to economic growth, what role China plays in all of this, and more. Topics discussed include: -Global carbon budget -Carbon cycle -Mitigation -Calculating carbon footprints -Allocating emissions -Equity issues in allocation and climate policy -U.S.-China trade war -Emissions from fossil fuels -Land use change -Uncertainties in estimates -Greenhouse gas inventories -Reporting requirements for developed vs. developing nations -Emissions trends -Negative emissions -Policies and individual actions

Much faith is being put in the ability of negative emissions technologies to slow the pace of climate change. Glen Peters of Norway’s Center for International Climate Research looks at the potential of negative emissions strategies, and the steep challenges to implementing them.---The goal of the Paris Climate Accord is to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, the point beyond which the impacts of climate change are feared to be most severe and enduring. Staying below the 2 degree limit will require two complementary strategies. The first, mitigation, is now familiar, and involves limiting carbon dioxide emissions today by turning to cleaner energy and greater energy efficiency. The second strategy is equally important in limiting future climate impacts, yet has received much less attention in public dialogue and policy circles. Negative emissions doesn’t yet exist in any practical sense, yet it will be counted upon to remove decades worth of carbon dioxide emissions from Earth’s atmosphere by the end of this century. At their best, negative emissions technologies will play a vital role in holding climate change in check. But the technologies may also give us a false sense of security that today’s carbon emissions can reversed at some point in the future. Glen Peters, research director at the Center for International Climate Research (CICERO) in Oslo, Norway, takes a close look at negative emissions, from their potential to the political and economic challenges that need to be overcome if they’re to have a meaningful impact on the climate. Glen Peters is Research Director at the Center for International Climate Research (CICERO) in Oslo, Norway. His work focuses on the human drivers of climate change and international climate policy.

Kan vi nå togradersmålet? Går teknologiutviklingen fort nok? Hvorfor trenger vi karbonfangst og -lagring? Og hva har alt dette med pizza og kake å gjøre? Denne uka har Lage og Anna fått besøk av en internasjonalt anerkjent klimaforsker, og spør ham ut om klimavitenskap, karbonbudsjetter og hvor realistisk det er å stanse farlige klimaendringer. I tillegg snakker vi litt om debatten om kulturell appropriasjon og Siv Jensens kostymevalg. Panelet: Glen Peters (seniorforsker hos CICERO Senter for klimaforskning) og Anna Kvam (nasjonal talsperson for Grønn Ungdom), samt programleder Lage Nøst. Mesteparten av episoden er på engelsk! Her kan du lese mer om rapporten som sier at karbonbudsjettet for 1,5-gradersmålet ikke er brukt opp: https://www.cicero.uio.no/no/posts/nyheter/ny-studie-gir-haap-om-aa-holde-oppvarmingen-under-15-grader

Accurately calculating the amount of carbon dioxide emitted in the process of producing and bringing products to our doorsteps is nearly impossible, but still a worthwhile effort, two Carnegie researchers claim in a commentary published online this week. The Global Ecology department’s Ken Caldeira and Steven Davis commend the work of industrial ecologist Glen Peters and colleagues, published in the same journal late last month, and use that team’s data to do additional analysis on the disparity between emissions and consumption in different parts of the world.
