The Arctic, warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet, serves as a critical climate indicator, with the 2023 Arctic Report Card documenting the hottest summer in centuries, severe wildfires, ice melt, and rising sea temperatures—trends continuing in 2024. Amid concerns about tipping points and continuous warming, large-scale adaptation in the Arctic and Antarctica remains vital. Finnish environmental leader and Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Prize recipient Tero Mustonen, fresh from the Arctic, shares a rare firsthand account of these efforts. *This podcast episode was originally published on June 27, 2024, and has been re-released.

The United Kingdom could experience winters as cold as northern Canada – if warming waters from the tropics stop flowing in a collapse of the ocean system called “AMOC” – the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. You hear the latest science from Dr. Stefan  …

In 2016, the Paris Agreement was adopted by 194 national governments and the EU with the aim of limiting global heating to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Experts warn that exceeding this limit will result in catastrophic climate impacts...and while many nations hesitate, cities around the world are taking action to combat the climate crisis. Season 4 of Cities 1.5 returns October 8th, with a new episode every week after that.

(Conversation recorded on July 30th, 2024)   The science surrounding our planet's dynamic and complex climate can be difficult to understand, and perhaps even more challenging to decipher what the actual realities and trajectories are among so much media coverage. Yet the study of Earth's systems has been ongoing for decades, with a majority of scientists reaching a consensus on the realities of human-driven global heating.  In this episode, ocean and climate physicist Stefan Rahmstorf joins Nate for an overview on the most common questions and misconceptions concerning the state of the climate, including the nuances of what our future planetary home might look like.  How can carbon dioxide – which makes up such a small percentage of the atmosphere –  have such a large effect on the temperature of the whole planet? Why does warming have such huge ripple effects across the biosphere –  from ocean currents and wind patterns to extreme weather and wildfires? What do projections for the future tell us about the survivability of some of Earth's most populated regions – and how can communities and nations prepare and mitigate these challenges amid many other converging crises we face?    About Stefan Rahmstorf: Stefan Rahmstorf is Co-Head of the Research Department on Earth System Analysis of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Professor of Ocean Physics at the University of Potsdam. His research focuses on paleoclimate, ocean circulation, sea level, extreme weather events and Earth System modeling.  After working at the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute and the Institute of Marine Science in Kiel, Stefan Rahmstorf joined PIK in 1996. From 2004 to 2013 Stefan Rahmstorf advised the German government as a member of its Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU). He is not only an outstanding and highly cited scientist but also a sought-after science communicator and speaker, winning the Climate Communication Prize of the American Geophysical Union in 2017.    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   ---   Support The Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future Join our Substack newsletter Join our Discord channel and connect with other listeners

On this episode, Nate is joined by climate researcher Leon Simons to unpack recent trends in global heating during 2023 and potential explanations and subsequent projections for the coming year. While the connection between human emitted greenhouse gasses and global warming is scientifically agreed upon, the other complexities and feedbacks of our climate system are still just beginning to be understood. Today, Leon theorizes on the intensity of aerosol masking from particulates such as sulfur, based on the connection between recent changes in marine fuel sulfur requirements and corresponding climate data. How will the global trend towards aerosol reductions affect near and long term global heating? What does this catch-22 mean for potential future climate action and policy? How should we be thinking about creating a more simplified global system in response to the unknown unknowns of our potential future climate? About Leon Simons Leon Simons is a climate researcher and science communicator at the Club of Rome Netherlands and is studying the effects of reduction in sulfur emissions on regional and global radiation changes and its impact on global heating. Most recently he was a co-author of the paper Global Warming in the Pipeline with renowned climate scientist James Hansen. Leon is also the founder of Magic Ventures BV, which works to make clean cooking technologies accessible to people everywhere.  For Show Notes and More: https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/105-leon-simons Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/RPAnoSt6FnY   Slides referenced in this episode 15:43 - Slide 3 23:24 - Slide 3 24:30 - Slide 4 30:46 - Slide 5 32:29 - Slide 6 36:38 - Slide 7 39:55 - Slide 7 42:29 - Slide 8 50:55 - Slide 10  

On this episode, Nate is joined by climate scientist and policy ambassador Sir David King to unpack the current situation regarding Earth's climate system and human response (or lack thereof) to the accelerating heating of the atmosphere. While there are many uncertainties this field still grapples with, the fundamentals of the rising average global temperature as a response to increasing man-made greenhouse emissions are widely recognized by the global scientific community. Yet - especially in the United States - climate change remains a contentious issue, making it an even tougher political topic with no easy solutions. What is the basic science behind our understanding of the atmosphere?  Will we resort to geoengineering to avert the worst climate outcomes - and which plans look the most promising? What are the implications of global heating for the coming decades and beyond? About Sir. David King Sir David King is an Emeritus Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. He is the Chair of the Climate Crisis Advisory Group, Founder of the Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge, and an Affiliate Partner of SYSTEMIQ Limited. He was the UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser from 2000-2007 and the Foreign Secretary's Special Representative on Climate Change from 2013-2017. He also spearheaded a collaborative program called Mission Innovation, which involved 25 countries and the EU to create a publicly funded £23bn pa research and development international exercise aimed at delivering all technologies needed to complete the transition into a fossil-fuel-free world economy. He has been a Fellow of the Royal Society since 1991 and a Foreign Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2002. Sir Dave was knighted in 2003 and made "Officier dans l'ordre national de la Légion d'Honneur" in 2009.

The world is now hotter than ever before in recorded history. Heatwaves are sweeping across Europe and fires are raging across Canada, leaving parts of the world choking in smoke. In response, James Hansen, the US scientist who first alerted the world to the greenhouse effect, said ‘we're all damned fools' for not acting on his warnings sooner. But such warnings continue to fall on deaf ears. Gabrielle Jackson speaks to editor-in-chief Lenore Taylor and live news editor Patrick Keneally about the reality gap between the promises and actions on global heating

In our latest podcast, we revisit the topic of decarbonisation from a packaging perspective – a topic that is becoming ever more relevant and urgent. Sarah Laidler, senior consultant at the Carbon Trust speaks to Elisabeth Skoda about the complexities around decarbonisation, the UN treaty to end plastic waste and how this ties in with carbon, the impact of different packaging materials and much more. We have a new podcast coming out at least once a month. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss an episode.For more packaging news, interviews and multimedia content visit Packaging Europe.

If you've listened to this podcast at all recently, you'll know that I'm in the editing phase of the new book - the phase where we 'carve it into tiny pieces, throw significant chunks of it in the recycling (because words are never wasted and text storage is basically free) and rebuild the rest into something shinier, sharper and generally more succinct.' And I'm telling you this because this week's guest is a fellow writer who knows what it's like to stare at a blank page until your forehead bleeds - but in this case, she's also an academic psychologist who has the data to back up the value of Thrutopian writing. Dr Denise Baden is a Professor of Sustainable Practice at the University of Southampton, and she says, that 'working in sustainability and climate change, the more you know the scarier it is. Like the sun, you can't look too closely at it, but face to one side, you make your way, because in fact, it's easy to put everything right. All the solutions are right here, they just have to catch on. Walking lightly and mindfully upon the earth is so doable. I started writing as therapy, with green solutions as the main ingredient, stories to soothe my soul. Then my characters and their stories took over centre stage, leaving the green solutions to season the stew.'Denise is one of those people who sees a problem and starts creating real world solution. in 2018, she set up the series of free Green Stories writing competitions to inspire writers to create positive visions of what a sustainable society might look like, and to tell stories that showcase solutions, not just problems because her data show that's what we need. In the process she continued to research what works in terms of fiction and climate communication - as a result of which, she has written a novel, Habitat Man, and she compiled an anthology of short stories  called No More Fairy Tales: Stories to Save Our Planet. which she had ready by COP27 so there was a copy for every delegate to read.

A cure for ageing, without the price-tag? It might sound too good to be true, but the team digs into new evidence that shows low-frequency ultrasound may rejuvenate cells in our body which are thought to cause age-related diseases. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is missing half of its matter - and the team asks where it's all gone. They also discuss NASA's ShadowCam which has taken pictures of Shackleton Crater on the south pole of the Moon, a region of particular interest if humans are to settle on the Lunar surface.Despite dramatic heat waves over the past few years, the Earth has actually been in a cooling period, known as La Niña, for the last three years. So with an El Niño on the way - a period of warming - the team finds out about the coming climate impacts, and how we might breach 1.5 degrees of global heating.Oyster mushrooms eat nematodes - who knew? And as the team finds out, they even do it in a pretty gruesome way, using a sort of nerve gas. The question is, can they still be considered vegan?For a unique take on the climate crisis and the personal responsibility we feel in tackling it, Rowan chats to Assaad Razzouk, author of Saving the Planet Without the Bullshit: What They Don't Tell You About the Climate Crisis. He explains why we shouldn't worry about going vegan or cutting down on flying, and reveals the real things we should be angry about when it comes to climate change.On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Penny Sarchet, Madeleine Cuff, Michael Le Page and Leah Crane.

Records shattered across Europe as a wave of warm weather has swept across the continent. It's a short-term respite for governments struggling with high gas prices, but its long-term effects could be catastrophic. Guests: James Dyke Fellow of the European Geosciences Union Rupert Read Co-director of the Moderate Flank Incubator Peter Newman Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University

Jo Dodds, co-founder of Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action observed at COP27 that stories from victims of extreme climate impacts help depoliticise discussions aimed at solving the global heating crisis. She also  talks of her group's landmark successful legal case  ordering the Environmental Protection Agency of NSW  to act on the climate crisis. Earth Matters #1382 was produced by Bec Horridge

Rupert Read is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, but he is also a Green party activist, and a prolific speaker, media spokesperson and author advocating for a wholehearted, whole-culture response to the Climate and Ecological Emergency. A long-term friend of the podcast, Rupert joins us today to talk about his new book: 'Do You Want to Know the Truth: The Surprising Rewards of Climate Honesty' and to announce the launch of a new movement, the Moderate Flank, which aims to bring together a moderate majority of people who care deeply about anthropogenic climate change, but don't want to engage in polarising actions.  In this deeply honest, raw episode, Rupert makes a passionate case for an anti-polarising movement which can engage people from all walks of life and furnish them with the tools for change that will help us to adapt to the coming changes - and to ensure that politically, economically, culturally, we create a more just, equitable - and regenerative - society that we can leave to the generations that come after us.

It shouldn't come as a big surprise some of the largest automakers will be responsible for overshooting the projected target. 3 VIEW GALLERY - 3 IMAGES Japanese automaker Toyota will miss the mark by 63 million, German company Volkswagen will be 63 million over, and Korean company Hyundai will be 39 million over - and that has ramifications for global climate efforts, Greenpeace recently warned. As noted by Benjamin Stephan, climate campaigner at Greenpeace Germany, in a press statement: ""Leading auto manufacturers, including Toyota, Volkswagen, and Hyundai, are transitioning far too slowly to zero-emission vehicles, which has dangerous consequences for our planet. As the climate crisis intensifies, governments from New York to Singapore are enacting stricter bans on diesel and petrol vehicles. If traditional automakers fail to electrify, they will lose out to newer, all-electric competitors and risk stranded assets. Toyota, Volkswagen and other leading automakers are on a collision course with the climate Greenpeace offered the following research that offers more details: 3 Researchers crunched the numbers based on future auto sales, combustion engine phase-out plans, and EV sales projections - and had three different transition scenarios - but used a combined linear transition scenario and battery electric vehicle S-curve transition scenario. Earlier in the year, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda received criticism for his company's slow response to the auto industry's transition towards EVs. As a clampdown on the sale of gas and diesel engines becomes more prevalent - in the United States and Europe - companies like Toyota will have no choice but to adapt. Looking ahead, automakers are showing off current EV vehicles - and future concepts - as they need to entice hesitant car buyers to try an EV.

The United Nations warns harmful global heating emissions are at record levels. And current commitments to slash emissions, particularly by the world's largest polluters, still fall far short. Managing the climate crisis has also become harder because of the war in Ukraine, which has made governments re-think their own clean energy goals. And as our experts have laid out, the ongoing conflict has also led to massive profits for producers of the world's dirtiest fuels. For more on this, we spoke to Faustine Delasalle in Lille and Joe Lo in London. #COP27 #Energy #Climate

There's no end in sight to the crisis in Ukraine, and the turmoil it's caused in energy markets. So in major economies, discussions among policymakers now revolve around how much fuel they can get, from where, and at what price. That's drowned out calls for governments and companies to wean themselves off fossil fuels that are destroying the planet. But as Paolo Montecillo reports, there are still some who have their priorities straight. For more, we were joined by UN Environment Programme Climate Change Coordinator, Niklas Hagelberg from Nairobi. #ClimateCrisis #Patagonia #FossilFuels

Demand for air conditioning is growing as the planet gets hotter. But there are other solutions besides these carbon-intensive appliances to keep our homes and cities cool. (This episode has been republished and updated).

Expanding forests can help bring down the amount of CO2 trapped in the atmosphere. But restoring these invaluable ecosystems is a complex business, and planting new trees can sometimes do more harm than good.

Global CO2 emissions continue to rise despite the urgent need to decarbonize. What does this failure to tackle climate change mean for climate activism? Is radicalization the next step?

Trees are connected to each other by a huge underground network through which they can exchange information. But why is this crucial for the survival of forests and how is climate change affecting connectivity?

Forests cover 30% of the Earth's land area and are home to 80% of its biodiversity. Forests are our lungs and can help mitigate climate change by storing carbon. But things are changing as temperatures rise and the global population grows. What does this mean for our trees?

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

Today, Kristy and Arielle address a hot topic: heatstroke. As the temperatures continue to climb, experts are predicting an incredibly hot summer this year, especially across the western and central areas in the US and Canada. Heatstroke is a serious condition that can even lead to death, so this episode is all about how to identify heatstroke, what to do about it, and how it can be prevented.

Kinari Webb is the Founder of Health In Harmony, an international nonprofit dedicated to reversing global heating, understanding that rainforests are essential for the survival of humanity. Kinari, an Ashoka and Rainer Arnhold Fellow, founded Health In Harmony as a response to the devastation she saw in the rainforests of Indonesia in 2007. Kinari is also the Co-founder of ASRI, a project that is focused on implementing Health In Harmony's vision in Indonesia. Kinari graduated from Yale University's School of Medicine with honors and completed her residency in family medicine at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center in Martinez, California. In addition to supporting Health In Harmony and ASRI, Kinari speaks regularly on topics such as the health and future of the forest, community involvement and social capital, healthcare in the global south, and the link between human and environmental health. She is also the author of Guardians of the Trees: A Journey of Hope Through Healing the Planet.  In this episode… A healthy rainforest results in healthy people and a healthy planet. So, in what ways can you help reverse the tropical rainforest deforestation and create the change the planet needs? This is the mission of Kinari Webb, who created her nonprofit after visiting the rainforests in Indonesia. As she says, her organization was born out of radically listening to the communities in the area. Since these are the people that are closest to the challenge, they understand the problem the best. There is power in letting the people you are trying to help come up with the solutions to their community's problems. When you listen, you are better equipped to execute effective solutions — which applies in businesses, too. In this episode, Corey Veverka sits down with Kinari Webb, the Founder of Health In Harmony, to discuss the inspiration behind her nonprofit, which works to reverse the deforestation of tropical rainforests and solve global heating. Kinari explains what radical listening means and how it helps with problem-solving, the importance of rainforests to the survival of humanity, and the challenges she is facing while building nonprofits in Indonesia, Madagascar, and Brazil.

Even with 1.1 degrees of warming, look at all the stress on our emergency services around the world, the stress on water supplies, sanitation and nutritious food. All of these underpin our health and are under threat with each fraction of a degree we continue to heat the atmosphere. Dr Simon Quilty  - How a rethink of emergency care is closing the gap, one person at a time (theconversation.com)Dr Quilty also spoke to me during the week about the IPCC report. The  projected temperatures expected in Central Australia, exactly where the gas will be exported from, will be 30+ days beyond 40 degrees. He says we do not need any more research. It's not a biomedical solution. "For frequent presenters to Katherine Hospital, poverty and illness go hand in hand. When you are living in an over-crowded house, and the A$20 power card feeding the air conditioner expires on a 43℃ tropical day, when your heart, lungs and kidneys are chronically malfunctioning and the insulin in the fridge slowly warms, the only free number you can call for help is “000” for an ambulance trip to hospital." It was the most memorable thing I learned  in the week. COVID has been  a wake up call to fix the gaps in our society regarding secure housing,  and effective communication to all groups. Life as we knoiw it demands  that we build back better, not led by gas, oil, coal or landclearing. I hope to bring you that interview in the future. Rachel Collis - Song "Meet me there"  To support this independent musician in COVID lockdown check out her chirpy message and become a Friend of Rachel (268) What's happening! - YouTube HEADLINESBrazil: Indigenous Fight Against Destruction of the Amazon (theintercept.com)Paris speed limit: City slams on the brakes with 30 kph rule - CNNExtinction Rebellion protesters target National Australia Bank | Green LeftCity of London's Guildhall targeted by climate change activists - The Frontier Post FURTHER VIEWINGFor the impacts of gas drilling:Listen to  the story of Neil Stanley in Kogan Qld.Neil's Story - Lock the Gate Alliance  QGC has never been made accountable for the destruction of sacred sites used for initiation.He says "We want justice for the site and an end to the destruction of cultural heritage by gas mining companies seeking short term profits"There are many campaign to  ban further gas exports from NT Don't frack the NT - Seed (seedmob.org.au)Using the imformation from the latest IPCC report and the demands from the International Energy Agency we  are armed to prevent the gas pipeline proposed in Central Australia.

Germany's demographic setup favors the older generation in this year's crunch election. More than half the eligible voters are above the age of 50 and only 15% are below the age of 30. What does this mean for intergenerational dialogue and future environmental policy? Are older people in Germany really less interested in the environment than the Friday For Futures generation?

I remind us of the reality of the climate emergency, and then argue that the most appropriate response to it is for us – as individuals, communities, states, and nations – to declare war on global heating and ecological breakdown. This is the only way we know of, as human beings, to shift into the "emergency mode" mindset we need. I then explain how the imagery of war and battle fits with Buddhist practice.

Climate scientists issue stark warning of global heating threat. Taliban takes key northern Afghan cities as battles rage on. Schools reopen with masks optional in many US classrooms.

The New International Panel on Climate change report is out and Un Secretary General says it's a Code red for human driven global heating and the alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable! Are you scared yet? That's what they are hoping for…Should you even be concerned? We will analyze these statements on this edition of End of the Age!

Global Heating Emergency now - Scott Willis - First the "heat dome," with temperatures in the mid-to-high 40s Celsius in many parts of western North America for up to a week (49.6 C in Lytton, B.C.). Then, when the forests were tinder-dry, came the wildfires (which wiped Lytton out). From northern California to northern B.C., the records were being broken every day. The extreme temperatures were unprecedented, but the meteorologists had an explanation of sorts: a "heat dome" that trapped hot air in the same area for a long time while the heat kept rising. a new normal in which killer heat waves become regular events.

Donald Trump is gone, the pandemic is getting under control (in some places, maybe?), and all is well. Not.

The 'runaway train' effect would be triggered once the Antarctic ice sheets would melt. Urging us to do all we can to meet the Paris Agreement goals.

In this episode I outline the scale and severity of the climate crisis. It's a temperature check of the earth. In September 2020. Some of this might be uncomfortable to hear. It might make you feel shock, outrage, fear, despair, hopelessness, numbness, or grief. That's normal. I've felt all of those things before. We must take urgent action to stabilize our climate.

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Finnair, Teck Frontier, Llyods Bank, Equinor and Singapore have in common? Buried in the news so far in 2020, there's been a deluge of good climate change developments around the world, signifying a clear uptick in momentum in the fight against global heating. In Episode 32, The Angry Clean Energy Guy, less angry for once, goes through these positive developments and continues to build on the case for climate optimism made in Episode 27.

Creating Future-Proof Cities is a publication that aims to serve as a practical guide to individuals, communities and cities to step up action to curb the rise of global temperatures and adapt to future norms. The book also aims to demystify the climate crisis and prescribes a localised response, using Penang, Malaysia, as a case study. We find out more from the authors of the book, Murali Ram and Rexy Prakash Chacko.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Neil Swart of the Canadian Center for Climate Modelling & Analysis says a new model predicts nearly 8°C of heating by 2100 in a high emissions scenario.

Mitchell is continuing with the theme of solutions to the profoundest issue of them all, Climate Change. This week, Mitchell interviews Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, Vice President of Communication & Engagement at Project Drawdown, where she is advancing the organization's message, reach, and Climate Change Just Ahead sign with bad day on backgroundinfluence around the world. She was lead writer for the New York Times bestseller Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming—the #1 environmental book of 2017. Katharine's interdisciplinary background cuts across research, strategy, advocacy, and thought leadership. Previously, she was Director of Strategy at the purpose consultancy BrightHouse. She has taught at the University of Oxford and Agnes Scott College and worked for The Boston Consulting Group and Natural Resources Defense Council. Her first book, Between God & Green: How Evangelicals Are Cultivating a Middle Ground on Climate Change, was called “a vitally important, even subversive, story” by The Boston Globe.global-warming-climate-change-tree_1big_stock2 As an international public speaker, Katharine's perspective has been featured by Aspen Ideas, Skoll World Forum, Talks    Google, and The Weather Channel. Katharine holds a doctorate in Geography & Environment from Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar, and a B.A. in Religion from Sewanee—The University of the South. She is happiest on a mountain or a horse or perhaps both! A Better World is bearing down on the story behind the damage humans have done over hundreds of years to our precious eco-system, the extent of it, and what we have as solutions to reverse Global Warming, which should really be called Global Heating or as Robin Williams called it "Global Grilling".  A Better World is doing all it can to restore equilibrium to our eco-system. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abwmitchellrabin/support
