Podcasts about global climate change

Support the podcast and keep independent media alive Climate reality keeps colliding with denial, erasure, and rebranding — across media, politics, and religion. Temu conspiritualists weave melted stories about the origins of wildfires, while the high-class guys run meditation-and-regenerative-farming spectacle backed by Exxon money. Julian's on that angle. Derek will be telling us about how climate journalism is collapsing faster than the climate itself with mass environment reporting layoffs at NPR, CBS, the Washington Post, and the LA Times. Trump gutted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. EPA webpages have been scrubbed of human-caused warming language. Are religious institutions doing any better? In 2015, five world religions — Jewish, Catholic, Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist — independently issued climate statements ahead of the Paris COP21 talks. Matthew looks at how they struggled to challenge the global economies they depend on. Show Notes What Is Happening to Climate Journalism?

Swiss finance and innovation hub Zurich held its first Climate Week in May 2026, joining a growing global network of cities hosting climate-focused gatherings. All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of Climate Week Zurich, and in this episode, we bring you highlights, key takeaways and a look ahead to the next big events on the climate calendar.  To learn about Zurich's approach to decarbonization and climate adaptation, we sit down with the city's Director of Environmental and Health Protection, René Estermann.  "We know climate change is a huge risk," René says. "As the major economic driver in Switzerland, Zurich wants to grow its business hubs here for climate technologies, climate science, carbon management ... [and] climate finance ... to turn these risks to opportunities."  To understand how financial institutions are responding to growing calls to make the business case for sustainability, we talk to Sabine Döbeli. Sabine is CEO of Swiss Sustainable Finance, a nonprofit whose members aim to strengthen Switzerland's position as a leading worldwide center for sustainable finance.  "If you invest today to improve your factory, to have less pollution, to use less water, to have a circular process, then that of course means capex, it means investments," Sabine says. "It will pay off in the long term if you have less costs. But to prove this at every point in time is not always easy."  And we talk to Christophe Lumsden, Partner and Sustainability Lead at Ernst & Young AG Switzerland and EY's Global Climate Change and Decarbonization Leader. He says Climate Week Zurich is an example of how climate action continues to develop at a local level even as it faces pushback in parts of the world.   "Science is clear. Evidence is there. Climate change is not going away anytime soon," Christophe says. "Health repercussions are massive, human repercussions are big. So we just need to continue the movement."   S&P Global Energy is a founding partner and sponsor of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich.   Further listening  Hear the podcast interviews referenced in today's episode:  California's biggest utility talks decarbonization, climate adaptation and AI energy demands  CSO Insights: How climate adaptation is hitting the mainstream for Middle East banks  Listen to our interview with Johan Rockström, who spoke at the Climate Week Zurich Opening Ceremony:   What planetary health means for the private sector  Listen to all our interviews from Climate Week Zurich:  How Swiss food giant Nestlé tackles sustainable supply chains  Swiss private bank talks sustainable investment opportunities  How one of the world's largest insurers is building climate resilience  How retail giant IKEA built the business case for sustainability  World Meteorological Organization leader on the need for science, data and collaboration  Learn about Nature and Biodiversity data and solutions from S&P Global Sustainable1.   Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global Disclaimer  By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Diesmal mit Verena Kern und Susanne Schwarz. Kaum eine deutsche Stadt ist baulich gut auf Hitze vorbereitet: zu viel Beton, zu wenig Grün, zu wenig Schatten. In welchen Orten es besonders schlecht läuft - und wo die Lichtblicke liegen. Wie schneidet deine Stadt ab? Die Bundesregierung will die klimaschädliche Luftfahrt stärken, aus wirtschaftlichen und militärischen Gründen. Das zeigt die neue Luftfahrtstrategie, die das Kabinett diese Woche beschlossen hat. Spielt das Klima dabei eine Rolle? Die Erde erhitzt sich nicht nur - der Prozess beschleunigt sich auch noch. Das zeigen die Indicators of Global Climate Change, die Wissenschaftler*innen jährlich aktualisieren. -- Das klima update° wird jede Woche von Spender:innen unterstützt.

Is responding to climate change necessary or is it a luxury that perhaps we just cannot afford at the moment? What should our response be to the environment, and at what cost?Today, our guest speaker Julia explores how the sacred wisdom contained within the Bible can help us think through and respond to Climate Change in a manner consistent with being followers of Jesus and how it can enrich our own faith journeys.A message by Julia Jardine

In this episode, Cory Connors speaks with environmental artist Benjamin Von Wong, known for large-scale installations that elevate global conversations around plastic pollution, climate change, and overconsumption. Ben shares his unusual path from mining engineering to purpose-driven art and discusses how creative storytelling can bring attention, urgency, and emotional connection to complex environmental issues. He reflects on his United Nations installation The Thinker's Burden, his involvement in Extended Producer Responsibility initiatives, and his recent collaboration with the World Economic Forum and Atlantic Packaging.Key Topics Discussed:Ben's transition from mining engineer to environmental artistCreating The Thinker's Burden at the United NationsHow art influences climate and plastics treaty discussionsOverconsumption, reuse, and systemic changeEPR visualization at See Change 2025GAEA Awards collaboration with the World Economic ForumSustainable packaging partnership with Atlantic PackagingUpcoming climate-focused installations at future COPsResources Mentioned:Ocean Plastic Leadership NetworkGlobal Plastics TreatySee ChangeWorld Economic Forum – GAEA AwardsCruz Foam sustainable foamAtlantic Packaging & A New Earth ProjectContact:Connect with Benjamin Von Wong:Website: vonwong.comInstagramLinkedInClosing Thoughts:Cory and Benjamin reflect on how creativity, storytelling, and collaboration can help shift the global sustainability conversation in meaningful ways, highlighting the unique role each person plays in influencing change. Ben emphasizes that art may not directly alter policy, but it can move people emotionally and create shared understanding—often the first step toward action.

Global heating continues, despite the increased use of renewable energy sources and international policies attempting otherwise. Even as emissions reduction efforts continue, our world faces more extreme weather, sea level rise, and human health impacts, all of which are projected to accelerate in the coming decades. This raises an important but controversial question: at what point might more drastic interventions, like geoengineering, become necessary in order to cool the planet? In this episode, Nate interviews Professor Ted Parson about solar geoengineering (specifically stratospheric aerosol injection) as a potential response to severe climate risks. They explore why humanity may need to consider deliberately cooling Earth by spraying reflective particles in the upper atmosphere, how the technology would work, as well as the risks and enormous governance challenges involved. Ted emphasizes the importance of having these difficult conversations now, so that we're prepared for the wide range of climate possibilities in the future. How does stratospheric aerosol injection actually work? What is the likelihood that a major nation (or rogue billionaire) might employ this approach in the next thirty years? What ethical, moral, and biophysical concerns should we consider as we weigh the costs and benefits of further altering Earth's planetary balance?    About Ted Parson: Edward A. (Ted) Parson is Dan and Rae Emmett Professor of Environmental Law and Faculty Director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the University of California, Los Angeles. Parson studies international environmental law and policy, the societal impacts and governance of disruptive technologies including geoengineering and artificial intelligence, and the political economy of regulation.  His most recent books are The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change (with Andrew Dessler), and A Subtle Balance: Evidence, Expertise, and Democracy in Public Policy and Governance, 1970-2010. His 2003 book, Protecting the Ozone Layer: Science and Strategy, won the Sprout Award of the International Studies Association and is widely recognized as the authoritative account of the development of international cooperation to protect the ozone layer. In addition to his academic positions, Parson has worked and consulted for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Office of Technology Assessment of the U.S. Congress, the Privy Council Office of the Government of Canada, and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Unpack how climate change is reshaping not just ecosystems but our emotional landscapes. This episode connects the rising trauma of a changing climate to the challenges faced by seafood systems in the Great Lakes and around the world. Through systems thinking and trauma-informed design, we examine how climate disruptions ripple through fisheries, communities, and the human psyche, as well as how new approaches can help us respond with care, clarity, and resilience. Episode Transcript Episode Guide 00:00 Intro to In Hot Water, Great Lakes Edition 02:40 Cheryl Dahle, design strategist for systems change, returns in this episode to  explain how a systems design approach is a relatively new way to problem solve through an examination of human behavior  06:21 Cheryl started her career as a journalist and, disillusioned, left to found a nonprofit, Future of Fish, working empower thriving, resilient ocean communities by driving innovation and investment to small-scale fisheries 15:45 Systems change in the seafood sector - how does it happen? 18:32 Having returned to journalism, Cheryl focuses on how the media covers climate change with the Solutions Journalism Network 29:10 In 2021, the International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies, Global Climate Change and Trauma released a detailed briefing paper describing the current state of knowledge and gaps on climate change and trauma. We asked Mary Foydor, a transdisciplinary designer about trauma-informed co-design, to tell us more about the links between climate change and trauma 30:13 The definition of trauma 31:11 Guiding principles to a trauma-informed approach to designing solutions 36:54 Climate change is a trauma that we're experiencing collectively 38:47 Joy-washing and the decolonization of trauma and trauma-informed design and care 41:14 Final words: Our future is uncertain, but open with possibilities. If we can hold open that space of uncertainty and invent into it, we have a really good chance.  Resources Recommend this series to anyone who enjoys seafood and is curious about how climate change is affecting our seafood-producing regions.      

Climate Change has been in the news again recently, you'd think that the debunked narrative would have vanished, but many still believe anthropogenic climate change will end civilization as we know it. Let's look at some historical data and the observations from over the years to better understand the realities of our Dynamic Planet.

This is the final installment of our 5 Non-Negotiables of the Left series where we detail three short-term goals to take back the country and two long-term fights that must be waged for the sake of our democracy and the planet. This fifth entry speaks to the now back-burnered but ever-present threat to life on this planet: Climate change. This is the most difficult case we’ll make to you. We expect pushback and disappointment at first but if we do our job, we’ll shift you to acknowledgement and resolve. This fifth Non-Negotiable isn’t for us. It’s for someone you might know, but more than likely it’s for someone you’ll never meet. We present the establishment of The Climate Trust: Social Security for the Planet.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Professor Michael Gerrard from Columbia University. He is the founder and faculty director of the groundbreaking Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, and one of the foremost environmental lawyers in the nation. Michael is an advocate, litigator, teacher, and scholar who has pioneered cutting-edge legal tools and strategies for addressing climate change. He writes and teaches courses on environmental law, climate change law, and energy regulation. He was the chair of the faculty of Columbia University's renowned Earth Institute from 2015 to 2018 and now holds a joint appointment to the faculty of its successor, the Columbia Climate School.He and Ted discuss his background, growing up in Charleston, West Virginia in an immensely polluted area, which led to his interest in studying and protecting the environment. He moved to New York City to attend Columbia University, and has been there ever since. He started his career in journalism, later deciding to become an environmental lawyer, and then shifted to writing books and entered the world of academia. Before joining the Columbia Law School faculty in 2009, Michael practiced law in New York for three decades, most recently as the partner in charge of the New York office of Arnold & Porter. As an environmental lawyer, he tried numerous cases and argued many appeals in federal and state courts and administrative tribunals. He also handled the environmental aspects of diverse transactions and development projects and provided regulatory compliance advice to an array of clients in the private and public sectors. Several publications rated him the leading environmental lawyer in New York and one of the leaders in the world.He has also written or edited 14 books, including Global Climate Change and U.S. Law, the first and leading work in its field (co-edited with Jody Freeman and Michael Burger), and Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States (co-edited with John Dernbach). His 12-volume Environmental Law Practice Guide and four-volume Brownfields Law and Practice each received the Association of American Publishers' Best Law Book of the Year award.He highlights some of his most impressionable career cases, and shares that he is currently leading a legal effort to sue the Governor for New York, Kathy Hochul, for indefinitely pausing the rollout of congestion pricing in New York City. He also shares with Ted his work with the government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on the legal issues caused by rising sea levels that threaten the island nation.

The following podcast discusses climate change and how this affects Canadian youth. The podcast covers examples from recent climate events, and covers content from the Canadian Pediatric Society Position statement on global climate change and health in Canadian children. This content was created by Leina Kingdom a 3rd year medical student at McGill University and Dr. Signe Richer, an intensive and emergency medicine physician at Verdun Hospital in Montreal.

Ani Gevorgyan's life as a humanitarian began when she was 14 years old and she signed up to bring joy, art and activity into the lives of refugee children. Two years later, the young volunteer for the Armenian Red Cross was organizing “eco-runs” in which people combined physical activity with environmental clean ups. Now, as an IFRC Climate Champion, she spreads the word about climate action at high level summits like COP-28, where she says local communities and youth need to be driving the agenda.

In this episode, we look to history to consider areas of potential areas for US-China environmental politics and cooperation today.  Dr. Vladimir Jankovic discussed US-Soviet scientific cooperation in the 1980s, early climate cooperation, and the 1989 Sundance Symposium on Global Climate Change dubbed ''greenhouse glasnost'' by its sponsors. What are the legacies of this conference and partnership, and how did they move the needle on our understanding of climate change? What happened after the collapse of the USSR? What were the lasting impacts on the scientific field, and what might be the implications for climate and environmental (geo)politics today?Dr. Vladimir Jankovic is a historian of atmospheric sciences who writes on the cultural history of meteorology, medical environmentalism, and contemporary urban climatology in relation to urban design. His research focuses on scientific, cultural, and social engagement with weather and climate since the 1700s. He is currently president of the International Commission for the History of Meteorology and a Reader in History of Science and Atmospheric Humanities at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM), University of Manchester. In 2005, he was featured on Storms of War, the Discovery Channel's five-episode documentary on warfare and the weather. He is the author of Reading the Skies (Chicago, 2000), Confronting the Climate (New York, 2010), Intimate Universality (with Fleming and Cohen, 2005), Weather Local Knowledge and Everyday Life (with Barbosa, 2009), and Klima (with Fleming, Chicago, 2011).Links and resources from the episode:US and China agree to boost green energy in climate action ‘gesture' in The Financial TimesThe Aspen InstituteGreenhouse Glasnost: The Crisis of Global Warming by Terrel Minger (1990)Ross, Andrew. 1991.

Few people have the expertise and desire to expose the coming global “Climate Change” scam, but Jim Lee is fearless, determined, and well-qualified to do just that. The conflation of the very real problem of global pollution with the manufactured crisis of global warming has been done intentionally in order to take the things that the people actually care about fixing and wrapping them into an agenda that leads to a global carbon tax. Jim Lee's work at Climate Viewer has been dedicated to sorting the truth from fiction for years, and the evidence is starting to pile up that there is more to the Climate Change agenda than we are being told.

The United Nations recently stated that “climate change is the defining issue of our time, and we are at a defining moment” (https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/climate-change). This statement ended the political debate about the role of human activities in climate change. Global climate change is happening and it will have a profound effect on our children.Listen and learn from Dr. Kari Nadeau the Chair of Environmental Health from Harvard School of Public Health and one of the guest editors of Pediatric Research's special issue on climate change.

Carbon SequestrationCarbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide to slow the pace of climate change. There are two major types of carbon sequestration: geologic and biologic. Geological carbon sequestration injects carbon dioxide captured from an industrial or energy-related source into underground geologic formations. Biological carbon sequestration refers to the storage of atmospheric carbon in vegetation, soils, woody products, and aquatic environments. While carbon dioxide (CO2) is naturally captured from the atmosphere through biological, chemical, and physical processes, some artificial sequestration techniques exploit the natural processes to slow the atmospheric accumulation of CO2.Soil Carbon Sequestration and Climate ChangeThe exchange of carbon between soils and the atmosphere is a significant part of the world's carbon cycle. Carbon, as it relates to the organic matter of soils, is a major component of soil and catchment health. However, human activities including agriculture have caused massive losses of soil organic carbon, leading to soil deterioration. California´s Healthy Soil Initiative is one program in the state working to promote the development of healthy soils in efforts to increase the state´s carbon sequestration, prevent soil deterioration and reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions.Soil carbon sequestration is a process in which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere, primarily mediated by plants through photosynthesis, with carbon stored in the form of soil organic matter. Many scientists agree that regenerative agricultural practices can reduce atmospheric CO2 while also boosting soil productivity and health and increasing resilience to floods and drought.UC Berkeley researchers found that low-tech agricultural management practices such as planting cover crops, optimizing grazing, and sowing legumes on rangelands, if instituted globally, could capture enough carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil to reduce global temperatures 0.26 degrees Celsius – nearly half a degree Fahrenheit – by 2100. However, critics say that because biological sequestration isn't permanent and can be hard to measure, it's only part of the climate solution and not a substitute for reducing emissions. Whendee SilverDr. Whendee Silver is the Rudy Grah Chair and Professor of Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at U.C.

Her work seeks to determine the biogeochemical effects of climate change and human impacts on the environment, and the potential for mitigating these effects. The Silver Lab is currently working on drought and hurricane impacts on tropical forests, climate change mitigation potential of grasslands, and greenhouse gas dynamics of peatlands and wetlands. Professor Silver is the lead scientist of the Marin Carbon Project, which is studying the potential for land-based climate change mitigation, particularly by composting high-emission organic waste for soil amendments to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide. Continued ReadingThe potential of agricultural land management to contribute to lower global surface temperaturesTechnical options for sustainable land and water managementSoils help to combat and adapt to climate change by playing a key role in the carbon cycleThe solution to climate change is just below our feetSoil as Carbon Storehouse: New Weapon in Climate Fight? Soil Carbon Sequestration Impacts on Global Climate Change and Food SecurityOrganizationsSilver Lab, UC BerkeleyCarbon Management and Sequestration Center, Ohio State UniversityFood and Agricultural Organization, the United NationsRelated EpisodesCollaborating with farmers on climate-friendly practices, with Alameda County Resource Conservation District For a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/sequestering-carbon-using-compost-and-grasslands-with-whendee-silver/

Live from the No B-S zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice— I am an America First Guy and let me be clear—I am here to tell you the truth—NOT make you feel good! So buckle up kids!   Here are three big things you need to know know right now--    ONE— The ATF has issued broad and likely unconstitutional new rules that will turn gun owners into felon for have a brace on certain pistols—it will not stand for long—   TWO— We are learning from an Exclusive story from Michigan News Source that Michigan and Michigan State are working to censor Free Speech using National Science Foundation Money— THREE— I found the article I was looking for—thanks to one of our loyal listeners—an article I first wrote a decade ago about what would vanish in America during my lifetime—and I decided to share—this is an updated version I published on SteveGruber.com 5 years ago in 2018— I remember watching a television show a number of years ago that focused on things that were no longer found in America. The announcer described phone booths, over-the-head hair dryers, old-fashioned barbershops and drive-in movie theaters that were once all the rage and now have all but disappeared from the landscape.  I was thinking about that the other day when I drove down the street of an upscale suburb near my home and noticed there wasn't a single American flag fluttering in the wind. My grandfather lived his whole life in Hillsdale, Michigan and I can remember from the first time I ever visited his home that every day just after sunrise he would put the flag up and every evening right around sunset, he would carefully take the flag down and put it away for the night. He didn't talk much about his pride in being an American but I guess he didn't need to because his actions showed the deep respect he held for our nation. A few days after Ronald Reagan left the White House in January of 1989, my grandfather passed away unexpectedly and peacefully.  I often wonder if he knew something we didn't. I often wonder what my grandfather, my father and others that passed before me would think of things we are seeing today. Professional athletes kneeling and refusing to respect the flag, high school and college kids declaring how awful America is and grade schoolers getting lawyers to sue for having to hear the Pledge of Allegiance. I wonder if these imbeciles have ever actually travelled anywhere or if their worldview has been created solely in the echo chamber of far left wing social media cesspools? Either way I am surrounded by ignorance and indifference at an alarming level. I have realized that if we don't get ‘woke' as a nation and soon, we may not have much left to fight for. In fact it appears that much of it is already slipping away while people stare blankly at devices designed to keep their attention away from what is happening all around them. Situational awareness is at an all-time low and under the cover of this self imposed intellectual darkness affecting tens of millions there are forces working to remove your freedoms at an ever faster pace. Let me give you some examples of these things that will almost certainly disappear in my lifetime or yours. The right to keep and bear arms will be one of the first things to vanish over the next 50 years. It will be stripped away incrementally so that the total shock of gutting the Constitution will come just one bite at a time. This is how I believe the term Progressive was created in the first place. It's a constant and Progressive destruction of the protections afforded you by the United States government of God given rights. Gun ownership is such a quaint idea for liberals anyway who detest the idea of individual freedoms. They certainly do not believe you have an individual right to self-defense but rather only a collective one. Destruction of gun rights remains a priority for the power thirsty Progressive movement. Make no mistake destroying 2nd Amendment while always proclaiming their support for it, is a cornerstone of the left. We support ‘common sense' gun laws they yell. Those so-called common sense ideas include you never having access to a gun, ever. The left has never lost its focus of eliminating the private ownership of firearms altogether. Former president Barack Obama put many radical Marxist ideas out for all to see and then gaslighted many into believing they weren't really seeing what was going on in plain sight. By planting the seeds over and over again that we must review and discuss ‘comprehensive' gun control reform, a whole generation has come to believe that having the ability to defend yourself, your family or your community is somehow on par with being a Nazi, a bigot or some other fatually flawed human being. By the time my youngest son is my age I seriously doubt the 2nd Amendment will be intact. In fact I believe in 50 years time there will be almost no private ownership of weapons left in America and not just guns but most types of archery equipment, knives of certain lengths and anything else that might cause bodily harm. Possession of certain classes of these weapons will be punishable by very swift and severe ‘zero tolerance' statutes, putting the guilty in prison for long terms maybe as long as life for some firearms. The freedom of speech in 50 years will be very different than it is today. By that time many mainstream religions will have been removed from non-profit status and run into oblivion by an endless barrage of attacks from the left. Churches in many respects will be treated like modern day hate groups and pariahs. The churches will be relegated to a list put together by real hate-mongers like the Southern Poverty Law Center. The way gays and lesbians once flocked to secret weekend retreats and holiday adventures to be among their own and be safe, is the only way some churches will even survive. They will exist in the shadows like they do in Communist China and other totalitarian nations. Churches that do survive in the open will be ‘Progressive Churches' that embrace abortion, transgenderism, homosexuality and a host of other items that are clearly in conflict with what the Bible teaches. Other religions however that teach similar things as Christian Doctrine and far worse, will still be insulated and protected. The America Flag will still exist in some areas but will not be seen very often. It will be removed from primary and secondary schools and most government buildings because it offends too many people for its representation of racism, sexism and imperialism. School kids will have no idea in 50 years how to recite the pledge of allegiance because they will have never heard it. Most will have never heard The Lord's Prayer either. They will instead embrace a diversity and tolerance pledge created by a Congress yet to be elected and the white children will know from an early age that anything wrong in the world began with their parents and grandparents. Kids will be taught from the beginning that ‘whiteness' is something to be shunned and to be ashamed of. ATM's will disappear long before we reach the fifty-year mark from today. Cash will actually be eliminated much sooner. The financial collapse of Greece followed by other European Union nations will usher in the end of the EU the Euro and in just a few short years cash in nearly all nations including the United States. The reasons given for this drastic move will be many. The party leaders will invoke fear of crime, illegal drugs plus protecting the young and elderly from being preyed on by crooked bankers and filthy criminals. A vibrant black market will spring up in the shadows but getting caught could mean the loss of your home, your job and likely even your freedom. The government will frown heavily on anyone operating outside “the normal boundaries of society.” Freedom of Speech and of the Press will be legal but not in the ways you think of them today. Publishing anything considered derogatory about someone's chosen personal identity will be punishable by prison time. Discussions of America and it's founding fathers will be frowned upon and will not be taught in any public school. Those white men our children will be taught exploited others solely for their own personal gain. They will learn little more on this subject. The days of jumping in the car and running to grocery store will be a thing of the past. Personal transportation was a luxurious extravagance that simply had to be eliminated. The Party was able to create New Electric Trolley lines to make sure people could get to work or the market but that was more than enough. The planet was being destroyed by this ridiculous endeavor of driving oneself around. It, we were told created the Global Warming Crisis. Though in 50 years time the theory of Global Warming will be debunked as well. The good news is, in the next 50 years will have stopped using petroleum based products almost altogether. Well, more accurately they won't be widely available to the general public but those higher up in the Party will still be able to get many of the things they need like plastics and cosmetics and such. Private property rights will be one of things that comes later on the list but make no mistake the idea of owning your own home, or farm or cottage on a lake will be no more 50 years from now. The government will know far better who needs housing and who doesn't. The government will be best suited to determine where you should raise your kids, what schools they should attend and later be able to help your kids ‘pick' the career path that best suits their individual talents. The idea that you would have your own home or decide which neighborhood to live in without considering all of the implications doesn't even make sense. Cigarettes will actually be nearly gone by then. Smoking tobacco so totally frowned upon that only outcasts would even consider it. The penalties for smoking tobacco will be substantial and severe. However, the use of marijuana will be fully legal widespread and accepted. In fact, the use of marijuana will be encouraged by a variety of people for things that only kooks would believe it could help with. Beef is not what's for dinner in the future. Trust me. Meat for your consumption or anyone else for that matter will be nearly gone in 50 years. Most livestock and poultry farms will be driven out of business by ever more and stricter regulations, and lawsuits over waste water, air quality, fertilizer and the alleged link between flatulence to Global Climate Change. This will happen despite the persistent global cooling trend that will be in full swing by 2025. Despite the cool down around the world farms will be hammered with so many lawsuits from environmental justice warriors they will finally give up in frustration. The animal farms (yeah, I know) will face a near continuous attack from animal rights groups as well. The Party bosses will still have steak on their plates but yours will likely be no more than once a week and then only a small 3 or 4 ounce portion. You really need to get green and lean anyway. I mean just look at yourself! The backyard chickens you now have, well you won't have those in 50 years. You see the government will make sure to ‘keep everyone safe' by stopping the unregulated and dangerous hobby farmers from producing food without total oversight. All its going to take is a few sick kids blaming some poor local schmuck and putting it on national TV a few times. Oh yeah, the drooling class will line right up behind yet another terrible idea. They will make damn sure you won't be raising your own chickens without getting fully inspected by the g-man. Yes, you will need to pay a small fee of a few hundred dollars if you pass to make sure the kids are safe. Say goodbye to your dog too. Keeping pets will no longer be considered a good thing 50 years from now. In fact it will be outright illegal in many places. Who the hell are we to think we can dictate to another creature how it should live or where or how? The courts will rule that man cannot take ownership of another being. By that time, animals will be represented by counsel on a very regular basis to ensure their legal rights are protected. The days you enjoyed on your boat fishing will be nothing but a distant and sad memory by then. Pretty easy to figure out that gasoline will have long ago been outlawed to save the environment and fishing stocks belong to the state of course and not the individual. So, you could fish if you're catching them for the government quota otherwise it will be strictly prohibited. Hunting of course will be eliminated much earlier than fishing and for all the obvious reasons. Electricity won't be gone but it will be rationed 50 years from now. Unfortunately, the ‘Green Energy' movement will still have a lot of work to do to deliver all the juice Americans and others actually want. The amount of electricity you get will be based on need and your value to the community as well. Which really means it will be doled out based on your contribution to the proper political operatives and agendas. If you screech the doctrine while in public, you will be free to ignore it most of the rest of the time. This is just the beginning of the list of all that is going to vanish in the next 50 years. These things are going to disappear because liberty and freedom are evaporating now- leaving the rest no choice but to disappear as well.  

With shifting global temperatures, many environments will change. Not all animals will be able to adapt quickly.

Today, we look at the creationist view on climate change...and it turns out that creationists are just as dismissive of "observational science" as they are of "historical science."Sources:Climate Change: Global Temperature: https://bit.ly/3bk8ikB2021 one of the seven warmest years on record, WMO consolidated data shows: https://bit.ly/3QKsCvNScientific Consensus: Earth's Climate Is Warming: https://go.nasa.gov/3bmwhQeAre We in the Middle of a Sixth Mass Extinction?: https://bit.ly/3bsjYlhThe oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and play a crucial role in taking up CO2 from the atmosphere: https://bit.ly/3OClMGFAnswering Questions About Nuclear Power: http://bit.ly/2N9wNRUStudy of health woes in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria shows effects of climate change: https://bit.ly/3bktp6lHealth benefits far outweigh the costs of meeting climate change goals: https://bit.ly/3tVdz8PAir Pollution and Public Health: http://bit.ly/308dD7zPeople in Poor Neighborhoods Breathe More Hazardous Particles: https://bit.ly/3bfoxzkClimate Change: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide: https://bit.ly/3QT9ETSA Graphical History of Atmospheric CO2 Levels Over Time: https://bit.ly/3A9fP0cThere could be 1.2 billion climate refugees by 2050: https://bit.ly/3HSDvYuHow Arctic warming could be the cause of extreme cold-weather events: https://bit.ly/39VbbbfMulti-Gas Contributors to Global Climate Change: https://bit.ly/3ymgI3VEvaluating the Performance of Past Climate Model Projections: https://bit.ly/3OHEgWrOriginal Video: https://bit.ly/39LLcDiAll my various links can be found here:http://links.vicedrhino.com

We've been told that the greatest existential threat to our nation is Global Climate Change. As a result, the Biden Administration has been doing everything possible to send us back to the pre-Industrial era. The price hikes we are all experiencing with gas or diesel and escalating food prices recently became a laughing matter to the President.--Policies are being enacted to cut our energy supply, to cut our food supply, and to cut the livelihood of many. The attacks coming are many, but there's one with which you may not be familiar called the 30x30 plan. It's an attack on property rights as it puts even more land under the control of the federal government.--Here to discuss this and related environmental issues, we welcome back Craig Rucker, President and Co-founder of CFACT -Citizens for a Constructive Tomorrow.- This organization presents a balanced perspective on environmental stewardship and other important issues.--For more information---cfact.org
