Physician and health care reform advocate David K. Cundiff discusses his article "Ecovillages and organic agriculture: a scenario for global climate restoration." David challenges the IPCC's failure to model a fully organic global agricultural transition, presenting a scenario where converting 5 billion hectares to biointensive organic farming could sequester nearly 98 percent of projected greenhouse gas emissions. The conversation details how "GROW BIOINTENSIVE" methods, using hand tools, natural fertilizers, and closed nutrient loops, can outperform industrial agriculture in yield and carbon capture. David also proposes a radical alternative for Point Reyes National Seashore: replacing cattle ranch evictions with pilot ecovillages that solve housing needs while restoring the climate. Discover how a shift to community-based, chemical-free living might be humanity's only path between extinction and survival. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

"Das Klima”, der Podcast zur Wissenschaft hinter der Krise. Wir lasen den [sechsten Bericht](https://www.ipcc.ch) des Weltklimarats und erklären den aktuellen Stand der Klimaforschung. In Folge 165 geht es um komplizierte Wörter. Zum Beispiel “Transdisziplinarität”. Das Konzept dahinter ist aber essentiell, wenn wir wollen, dass nicht nur an Klimaschutz geforscht, sondern das Erforschte dann auch umgesetzt wird. Und zwar so, dass am Ende alle damit zufrieden sind. Wer den Podcast unterstützen will, kann das gerne tun: https://steadyhq.com/de/dasklima/ und https://www.paypal.me/florianfreistetter.
Climate concern is not the problem. Most people have it. What's missing is everything that turns concern into action - and understanding that gap turns out to be a lot more complicated than it looks.This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson sit down with Lorraine Whitmarsh, Professor of Environmental Psychology and Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations at the University of Bath. Together they dig into the psychology behind catastrophe apathy: why understanding an existential threat doesn't always lead to action, and what the research says actually moves people.Lorraine shares real-world evidence - including renewable energy tariffs that shifted 90% of customers onto green power simply by making it the default - and explains why trusted everyday messengers, from hairdressers to taxi drivers, employers to community figures, often have more influence than expert voices in reshaping what feels normal.The conversation also revisits an uncomfortable history: how the personal carbon footprint, popularised by BP in the early 2000s, reframed climate responsibility around individual choices rather than systemic change. A framing so powerful that even environmental organisations adopted it. Who benefited most from that shift is a question the movement is still grappling with.If systemic change requires public consent, and public consent requires political will, and political will requires behaviour change - how do you break the climate Catch-22?With thanks to the University of Bath.Learn More:
The climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges of our time; but diverse sources of knowledge may help us navigate it better. This was the thematic focus of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change workshops recently hosted at the University of Reading.In this live Q&A, Professor Jim Skea (chair of the IPCC) was joined by Rowan Sutton (Met Office), Sarah Honour (Dept. of Energy Security and Net Zero) and Professor Ed Hawkins (University of Reading) to discuss the role of indigenous voices, the withdrawal of the US from climate agreements, and the importance of making climate information accessible for future generations.This episode was recorded live on February 9, 2026, at the University of Reading.Find out more about the University of Reading, it's relationship with IPCC and how it has carved out a position at the heart of climate change conversations.Chapters:02:20 Why the IPCC is looking to involve diverse ‘knowledge systems'04:26 How the UK Government and Met Office work with the IPCC process09:35 What it's like to be a researcher involved in the IPCC report cycle 12:02 How the IPCC has evolved and how it might evolve in the next 40 years21:34 Audience question #1: Impact of the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement24:22 Audience question #2: How is the IPCC actively involving diverse voices? 26:35 Audience question #3: How can young people make a positive impact in combatting climate change?
Paul Burgess presents updates to his Burgess Oceanic Solar CO2 index, claiming it precisely matches satellite temperatures from 1982–2025 without changing its fixed formula, including UAH v6.1 and final 2024–2025 data despite a record-low PDO. He says the index is not a forecasting model and implies ECS is 1°C, with ~25% warming from CO2 and ~22–23% from human CO2 after outgassing. A second paper argues oceans drive low-cloud changes (1–3 year lag), with ~2% cloud decline explaining warming, challenging IPCC positive feedbacks. He previews an extension back to 1900 with ~0.96 correlation using a UHI adjustment (Connolly 2021) and invites critique by email.00:00 Paul Burgess Returns: Introducing the Oceanic Solar CO₂ Index Update00:24 How the Index Matches Satellite Temps (and Why That's Unusual)01:02 No Curve-Fitting: Validation, Critiques, and Why It's Public02:19 Completing 2024–2025 + Switching UAH v6.0 to v6.103:42 Index vs Model: Fixed Formula, Inputs, and What It Can (and Can't) Forecast05:01 CO₂ Contribution & ECS = 1°C: What the Index Implies07:01 Paper #1 Results: Record-Low PDO Stress Test and Fit Metrics11:43 From Statistics to Physics: Paper #2 on Oceans, Clouds, and Sunlight13:03 Clouds as Earth's Thermostat: The ~2% Low-Cloud Change Claim15:58 Cloud Layers & Evidence: Low Clouds Drive the Signal17:58 IPCC Feedback Story Explained (and Critiqued)21:31 Chicken-and-Egg Problem: Ocean–Cloud Coupling and the 1–3 Year Lag22:00 Paper #3 Teaser: Testing Water Vapor, Albedo, and Cloud Feedbacks27:21 Key Takeaways: Albedo/Ice Changes Follow Warming + Better Cloud Observations28:19 Cloud Cover vs. Shortwave Radiation: What the Satellite Data Shows28:59 Takeaway #3: Low Clouds as an Ocean-Driven “Sunshade” (Not a Warming Amplifier)29:37 Four Key Lessons: Ocean Leads Clouds, and the Radiative Effect Matches30:57 Implications for Climate Sensitivity: Why Models May Overstate CO₂ Feedbacks32:07 How to Critique the Framework: Falsification Tests and Evidence Chain34:57 Extending the BOI Back to 1900: Data Limits, UHI Adjustments, and Out-of-Sample Logic36:12 Sneak Peek Results: BOI 1900–2025 and the 0.96 Correlation Claim40:23 Q&A: How the BOI Coefficients Were Built (Covariance Fitting, Weights, Inputs)43:51 Testing and Next Steps: Volcano Signals, Ocean Mechanisms, and Future Projections47:02 Forecast vs. IPCC + Wrap-Up: Cooling Possibility, Politics, and Contact InfoEmail: svsuliere@gmail.comExplaining Every Temperature Change from 1983 to 2025 - My Most Important Work Ever: https://substack.com/home/post/p-182701114Linking Ocean Heat, Low Clouds, and Sunlight In Burgess Oceanic index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/linking-ocean-heat-low-clouds-andTesting Water Vapour, Albedo and Cloud Feedback with the Burgess Oceanic Index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/testing-water-vapour-albedo-and-cloudClimate Realism by Paul Burgess: https://www.youtube.com/@ClimateRealism=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Rejoice! The Great Reset is yesterday's news, and the great reject is upon us! What does it mean that the US is withdrawing from the IPCC? That the UN is on the ropes? That Davos was as big of a flop as last year's COP? Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com joins us to discuss these issues and the sea change that has taken place in public opinion on global warming and globalism in the past year.
Ao contribuírem para a perda da biodiversidade do planeta, empresas mundo afora estão cavando a própria cova – e não fazem nada, ou muito pouco, para reverter os riscos que pesam sobre elas mesmas. Um relatório publicado nesta segunda-feira (9) apresenta as conclusões de três anos de pesquisas sobre uma relação que é, ao mesmo tempo, de dependência e de destruição. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em Paris O estudo da respeitada Plataforma Intergovernamental de Ciência e Política para Biodiversidade e Serviços Ecossistêmicos (IPBES), conhecido como “o IPCC da biodiversidade”, alerta que todos os negócios dependem da natureza. Entretanto, as atividades econômicas resultaram na redução de 40% dos estoques do capital natural a partir de 1992, aponta o texto. “O crescimento da economia global ocorreu à custa de uma imensa perda de biodiversidade, que agora representa um risco sistêmico crítico e generalizado para a economia, a estabilidade financeira e o bem-estar humano”, afirma o documento, elaborado por especialistas de 75 países, incluindo consultas a comunidades indígenas e tradicionais. O texto adverte empresas, corporações e o setor financeiro que o modo sobre o qual estruturam as suas atividades – majoritariamente predatórias – impulsiona o declínio da natureza e “nem sempre é compatível com um futuro sustentável”. “O fundamental é que os especialistas detalharam a exposição das empresas à perda de biodiversidade, como elas podem medir o seu impacto e as suas dependências, e assim entender os riscos. É a primeira vez que atingimos esse nível de detalhamento, com esta quantidade de especialistas e com a presença de 150 governos”, resumiu Matt Jones, um dos três copresidentes do trabalho, apresentado na conclusão da 12ª sessão plenária do IPBES, em Manchester (Inglaterra). “Com uma clareza inédita, o relatório ajuda as empresas a entenderem o que elas precisam fazer agora.” Dependência direta ou indireta – mas todas dependem Essa dependência pode ser óbvia, como na agricultura ou na mineração, ou nem tão clara à primeira vista, como nas tecnologias digitais. “Pode ser de uma maneira muito direta, como no caso do agronegócio, que depende diretamente dos solos, de polinização, de água etc., mas também cadeias indiretas. Uma empresa que está desenvolvendo inteligência artificial depende de recursos que estão na nuvem e necessariamente precisa de uma série de componentes primários que vêm da natureza, depende de água para resfriar os seus servidores” explicou à RFI Rafael Loyola, coordenador de um dos capítulos do relatório e diretor da Fundação Brasileira de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. “Quando as empresas começarem a entender que o risco de perda de biodiversidade e de degradação da natureza é um risco material, a mentalidade começa a mudar e as empresas vão começar a internalizar esses custos.” Conforme o estudo, em 2023, os fluxos globais de financiamento público e privado com impactos negativos diretos sobre a natureza chegaram a US$ 7,3 trilhões. Desse valor, um terço foram gastos públicos em subsídios que são prejudiciais ao meio ambiente. No caso do Brasil, Loyola ressalta que os incentivos à agricultura de baixo carbono representam uma minoria do pacote total de recursos disponibilizados para o setor. “A gente está falando em cortar subsídios que geram impacto ou pelo menos reorientá-los, para que não sejam, em sua maioria, atividades impactantes. Estamos falando eventualmente de taxas e benefícios fiscais para as atividades positivas”, exemplificou. “O governo tem um papel estruturante, que é importante para o mercado.” Desconhecimento afeta a proteção A mensuração dos danos é insuficiente, contribuindo para que os danos à natureza sejam minimizados tanto em termos políticas públicas, quanto na alocação de investimentos por bancos e o setor financeiro. Menos de 1% das empresas reporta seus impactos sobre a biodiversidade, nota o estudo. “Elas vão ter que avaliar isso na cadeia de valor que têm e comparar opções entre os seus fornecedores, por exemplo. E obviamente, em um nível mais alto das empresas, olhar para a sua estratégia e ver se ela gera valor porque está alinhada à natureza, e não porque está degradando a natureza. Assim eles poderão redirecionar os seus investimentos”, complementa o especialista brasileiro. Em 2023, apenas US$ 220 bilhões foram direcionados para atividades que contribuem para a conservação e restauração da biodiversidade – ou seja, 3% do valor mobilizado em atividades prejudiciais à natureza. Muitas dos negócios que apostam na conservação de espécies não têm conseguido gerar receitas suficientes para prosperarem, indica o texto. Recomendações O estudo traz uma lista de 100 recomendações para agentes públicos, privados e da sociedade civil promoverem uma “mudança transformadora”, ressaltando que um dos problemas é a falta de informação sobre as oportunidades que o caminho da preservação representa. Medidas como aumentar a eficiência, reduzir o desperdício e as emissões de CO2 beneficiam a biodiversidade. Um maior engajamento junto às comunidades locais, detentoras de conhecimentos tradicionais sobre a natureza, também está entre as recomendações. “Com uma relação respeitosa e apropriada com povos indígenas e comunidades locais, as empresas podem tomar decisões melhores. Existem muitos conhecimentos e dados existentes e as empresas não utilizam como poderiam”, apontou Matt Jones. Para Rafael Loyola, o Brasil é um modelo de como é possível adaptar planos de negócios para torná-los sustentáveis e positivos para a natureza, com as cadeias do açaí e da castanha, na Amazônia. Falta, entretanto, dar escala a essas iniciativas. “No centro do problema, existe a necessidade de mudança de mentalidade, de se entender que a natureza é um ativo para as empresas e a sociedade, e não um problema. Só que hoje temos um conjunto de condições que fazem com que seja mais lucrativo e mais fácil desenvolver um negócio que tem impacto sobre a natureza do que um que a restaure, a recupere”, disse Loyola. “Tem um papel central do Banco Central e dos bancos de desenvolvimento de, na hora de alocar o investimento, fazer uma diligência muito bem feita e fazer um monitoramento do que está sendo reportado, para que seja possível verificar que o que está sendo dito de fato acontece.”
Ned Nikolov discusses the physical meaning of the global mean surface temperature, addressing critiques by papers from Essex et al. (2007) and Jonathan Cohler (2025) that question its validity. Nikolov argues that these critiques misunderstand thermodynamic principles, and presents his own analysis, supported by satellite data, which shows a meaningful correlation between global mean surface temperature and energy fluxes. He emphasizes the importance of using accurate scientific principles when critiquing climate science to maintain credibility.00:00 Introduction and Topic Overview00:38 Questioning the Global Mean Surface Temperature01:24 Review of Key Papers02:23 Arguments Against Global Mean Surface Temperature04:29 Analyzing the Validity of Temperature Averages09:47 Kohler's Perspective on Temperature Measurement19:03 Empirical Data and Model Comparisons33:45 Understanding Temperature in Thermodynamics37:49 Introduction to Temperature and Energy Concepts38:09 Kohler's Statement and Its Flaws38:34 Understanding Internal Energy and PV Energy40:39 The Gas Law and Its Implications43:08 Boltzmann Constant and Molecular Energy44:11 Degrees of Freedom in Gas Molecules45:06 Combining Equations for Total Energy48:33 Temperature and Energy Relationship49:11 Redefining Kelvin Using Boltzmann Constant54:57 Global Mean Surface Temperature57:55 Calculating Moon's Average Temperature01:02:05 Latitude and Global Temperature Relationship01:06:36 Critique of IPCC and Climate Skeptics01:09:35 Q&A and Final Thoughts Essex et al.

Andre Meloche joins us to talk about Canadian energy and politics, Alberta v Quebec separation, writing and philosophy, revolt and revolution and where his journey is leading him to. We talk about Quebec and energy infrastructure in the different provinces, gas v electricity, what is actually green and clean - if anything, seeing the change of UN2030, the lockdowns and curfews splitting up the province, equalization payments, cultural and financial sovereignty, abiotic oil, natural gas generators and the end of the climate hoax. In the second half we get deeper into the debate between fossil fuels and abiotic fuel, IPCC, space mining, going West is not just a song or a meme, the Indian Act and the chiefs, civil war, the clarity act, the Privy Council, the motto of communism, the Quiet Revolution, the book of The White Guard, and the amazing time we are in where everything is moving so fast. Writer and "Philosopher". My personal interest, which is entirely my own, can be summed up in this sentence: to debunk the untruths that abound in our time.

How do you write a future that feels real? We sit down with environmental scientist and war correspondent Paul E Hardisty to discuss the conclusion of his “The Forcing” trilogy and why literacy is our last defense against a new feudalism.The Road to Writing: From 5-Year-Old Typist to Front-Line Witness.Paul E Hardisty didn't take the traditional path to becoming a critically acclaimed novelist. Though he began typing stories at age five, he hit a wall at eighteen. Inspired by Hemingway's advice to “Write what you know,” Paul realized he didn't know anything yet.He spent the next 30 years gaining that knowledge as an environmental scientist and journalist, reporting from dangerous regions like Yemen, Ethiopia, and most recently, the battlefields of Ukraine.“I want to write fiction that comes as close to truth—conveying essential truth—as possible. I think that is the purpose of literature.” — Paul E Hardisty.Confronting “The Hope”: A Vision of 2082.The interview centers on the release of The Hope, the explosive conclusion to a trilogy that started with The Forcing and The Descent.Set in a windswept, contracted world where the global population has plummeted below a billion, The Hope introduces us to Boo, a 16-year-old with a photographic memory living in a society where books are illegal and literacy has vanished.BUY IT HERE.Writing Advice: The Iceberg Principle.For the writers in our community, Paul shares his “anti-course” philosophy. Having never taken a creative writing class, he advocates for:* Finding your own path: “Be yourself, because everyone else is already taken.”* The Iceberg Principle: Focus on immediacy—sights, smells, and tactile feelings—rather than being didactic.* Biting on the Nail: Inspired by Hemingway, Paul's Substack name refers to the discipline of getting up and doing the hard work of writing, no matter what happened the night before.Key Themes from the Episode:* The Science of Fiction: Paul explains how he used robust IPCC climate projections to build a plausible 2082, focusing on “refugia”—pockets of the planet that remain habitable.* The New Feudalism: A chilling warning about how plummeting literacy rates and the rise of the smartphone era could mirror the dark ages, making society easier to dominate.* Authenticity in Action: Paul discusses his three trips to Ukraine (with a fourth planned) and how bearing witness to trauma and stoicism informs the emotional core of his work.
The Trump Administration is withdrawing the US from the scientific Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or IPCC, which reports agreement about the basic scientific facts of global warming and the impact of core technologies to address it. A lead author of the IPCC fourth assessment report in 2007 explains how the fossil fuel industry has long pushed for such an action. Also, the burning of fossil fuels is linked to some 300,000 deaths in America every year, not to mention the related carbon emissions that promote global warming. We discuss the major health and economic costs linked to pollution. And for people with developmental or physical disabilities, growing plants in a garden may offer personal growth opportunities that unlock new possibilities outside of the garden too.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 8, 2026. 0:30 We kick off today's show with Washington's factory fraud. JD Vance’s announcement of a powerful new Assistant Attorney General—armed with nationwide authority to prosecute welfare fraud, immigration fraud, business fraud, and government waste—is the moment the era of slap-on-the-wrist accountability finally ends. With billions already exposed in places like Minnesota and trillions in potential waste on the table, the Trump-Vance team is putting real enforcement behind the Department of Government Efficiency and cutting off the financial incentives that fuel illegal immigration and benefits fraud. No more lawfare, no more fake oversight—this is the federal government getting serious about protecting taxpayers and restoring the rule of law. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House passed a bill today authorizing the extension of Obamacare subsidies. The state of New York is planning on providing free daycare for children under 2 years of age. California, Superior Court judge Israel Claustro pled guilty to one count of mail fraud in conjunction with a worker's compensation scheme. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We're pulling back the curtain on the OnlyFans economy and why it’s exploding in the middle of an affordability crisis. While Americans say they’re struggling with inflation, groceries, rent, and healthcare, the U.S. alone is now spending billions of dollars on online pornography, with OnlyFans revenue still climbing, not slowing down. We dig into the darker side of the digital age—how porn monetizes loneliness, isolation, and insecurity, teaches people to tie their worth to their bodies, and replaces real human connection with paid digital fantasy. The takeaway is unsettling: this isn’t just about adult content—it’s about a culture quietly being reshaped by big money, tech, and emotional emptiness. 16:00 The American Mamas take on the Minneapolis ICE shooting that left a woman dead after a chaotic confrontation with federal agents. Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down what really happened, why video evidence matters, and how political rhetoric, media spin, and calls to “resist ICE” are putting lives in danger. We ask the hard questions about law enforcement, activist incitement, and personal responsibility, while also recognizing the tragedy for the woman’s family. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy champion turned host, jumped into the political fray with a social-media swipe at President Trump and the Trump administration. What Jennings posted wasn’t just criticism, but a call for political vengeance, the kind of rhetoric that’s already tearing the country apart. It's a stark contrast of Alex Trebek's steady, apolitical legacy and proof that being brilliant with facts doesn’t automatically make someone wise. 26:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s warning to the military-industrial complex, after he blasted major defense contractors for overpaying executives and shareholders while under-delivering for national security. It's a closed, cushy industry that’s lost its edge—too little competition, too much comfort, and not nearly enough urgency. China churns out more than a hundred ships a year while the U.S. barely manages a handful. Trump isn’t just talking about money—he’s demanding a wartime mindset, forcing contractors to reinvest in factories, workers, and real production instead of stock buybacks and bloated paychecks, because complacency in defense doesn’t just waste dollars—it risks the country’s survival. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take on Stephen A. Smith’s reaction to the Minneapolis ICE shooting, where he said the officer was justified—but should have “shot the tires instead.” But real-world policing doesn’t work like TV, especially when an officer is being run over by a car on icy pavement. We explain why officers are trained to shoot center mass, not tires or limbs, because missing in a split second can be fatal. Tragedy wasn’t caused by the officer—it was the result of a protester making reckless, deadly choices, while commentators safely second-guess from the sidelines. 35:30 President Trump decided to pull the U.S. out of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and that's a Bright Spot! The IPCC has long blurred science and politics, pushing alarmist conclusions that its own data doesn’t support while silencing dissenting research. The agency exists more to control policy and funding than to report honest science. Trump’s move to withdraw from the IPCC—and dozens of other UN groups—cuts off money to institutions that undermine U.S. interests and putting America first. 39:30 We take on the AOC–Jesse Watters dust-up, where a crude offhand joke from the Fox News host has now turned into a full-blown political grievance. Watters’ comment about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Stephen Miller was dumb and unnecessary, but does it really rise to the level of “sexual harassment” the congresswoman claims?

Klimata prognozes, kas nav piepildījušās un ir devušas iemeslu skeptiķiem kritizēt klimatologu darbu. Informācija liecina, ka skepsei tiešām ir pamats. Skaidrs, ka prognozes var būt precīzākas un mazāk precīzas, var būt pavisam kļūdainas, bet svarīgs arī veids, kā ziņas nodot sabiedrībai. Nav jābrīnās, ka daļa sabiedrības kļūst skeptiska, ja pat 20 un 30 gadu senās publikācijās var lasīt tieši tādas pašas draudīgas prognozes, kā tagad. Tikai toreiz tās tika attiecinātas uz daudz tuvāku nākotni. Nākotne pienāca, draudīgās no prognozes nepiepildījās, tā vietā parādās arvien draudīgākas prognozes. Lai arī vispārīgi raugoties, saturisku kļūdu daudzos ziņojumos nav, mulsinoša ir vārdu izvēle un tonis. Tāpēc nav brīnums, ka sabiedrība ir nogurusi. Šoreiz vairāk par starptautisku organizāciju ziņojumiem, kas ar kādu noteiktu domu izplatīti pasaulē, tomēr izrādījušies greizi. Diemžēl arī daļa atbildīgu institūciju ziņojumi ir tādi, ko var saukt par biedēšanu. No vienas puses – ja prognozes vēsta nelāgas lietas, par tām ir jāstāsta, bet paskatoties, kāda ir izvēlēta vēstījuma forma, ir skaidrs, ka šādā veidā noturēt sabiedrības uzmanību nevar bezgalīgi. Piemēram pirms gandrīz 25 gadiem, 2001. gada 21. maijā, Apvienoto Nāciju organizācijas tā laika ģenerālsekretārs Kofi Annans sacīja šādi: "Globālā sasilšana uzskatāma nevis par attālām potenciālām briesmām, bet gan par vistuvākajā laikā iespējamu katastrofu." Šāda frāze, protams, ir interpretējama un uztverama dažādi, bet cilvēkam, kurš savās ikdienas gaitās daudz nesaskaras ar vides jautājumiem, 25 gadi varētu būt par ilgu, lai teiktu, ka globālā sasilšana ir "vistuvākajā laikā iespējama katastrofa". 2001. gadā publicētajā ziņā britu raidsabiedrība BBC vēl piemin, ka Kofi Annans jau iepriekš kā "neveiksmīgu" raksturojis ASV lēmumu noraidīt globālo līgumu par siltumnīcas efektu radošu gāzu izplūdi atmosfērā un paudis cerību, ka Vašingtona grozīs savu viedokli. ASV prezidenta Džordža Buša administrācija uzskata, ka Kioto vienošanās par cīņu pret globālo sasilšanu esot netaisnīga, jo uzveļot nepieņemami smagu nastu ASV ekonomikai, neiesaistot tajā jaunattīstības valstis. ASV lēmums izraisījis asu Eiropas, Japānas, Krievijas, Ķīnas un citu valstu kritiku. Tiesa, jau pēc diviem mēnešiem Krievija pati sāka atteikties no Kioto vienošanās. Tātad jau pirms 25 gadiem aina bija ļoti līdzīga pašreizējai, un arī tagad ANO turpina celt trauksmi par klimata pārmaiņu drīzu katastrofālu ietekmi uz cilvēci. Mēs redzam klimata pārmaiņas, bet vai to var saukt par katastrofu? Var jau būt, ka daļai sabiedrības tā šķiet, bet vai daļai, kas klimata pārmaiņas sevišķi neizjūt savā ikdienā, varētu šķist pārspīlēti gadu desmitiem brīdināt par drīzu katastrofu, kura tā arī nav ieradusies. Ir arī prognozes, kas nav piepildījušās. Tā paša 2001. gada jūlijā Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas pētnieku grupa, ko tagad mēs pazīstam ar nosaukumu ANO Klimata pārmaiņu starpvaldību padome jeb IPCC ziņoja, ka jaunākie aprēķini paredz globālās temperatūras pieaugumu līdz šī gadsimta beigām par 5,8 grādiem. No tik ekstrēma scenārija pētnieki arī ir atteikušies. Pašreizējie scenāriji paredz, ka sliktākajā gadījumā globālā gaisa temperatūra līdz šī gadsimta beigām būs 4 grādus virs pirms industriālā perioda vidējās temperatūras, bet ticamākā versija ir, ka tā būs aptuveni 2,5 grādus virs pirms industriālā perioda temperatūras.

How does good food shape global climate policy? And how has climate science evolved in the decade since the Paris Agreement? In this ESG Currents episode, Winston Chow, Professor of Urban Climate at Singapore Management University and Co-Chair of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group II, joins Bloomberg Intelligence ESG Analyst Conrad Tan to discuss the art of building trust as a climate diplomat, why food is his secret weapon, and why the world's top climate body plans to add a chapter on finance in its upcoming reports. He also explains the use of shared socioeconomic pathways in climate modeling and how scientific assessments of climate impacts can help businesses distinguish signal from noise.

In this episode, Matt speaks with climate writer and researcher Stephen Lezak about Bill Gates's recent essay arguing that climate change is serious but will not lead to humanity's demise and that global policy should focus more on poverty and disease. Lezak explains why he challenged that framing in his New York Times op-ed, noting that Gates downplays risks like runaway warming and ignores how climate harms fall disproportionately on poor and Indigenous communities. They discuss the dangers of overstating or understating existential risk, the accelerating possibility of an ice-free Arctic summer, and the need for more just, effective climate policy.

Convidados: Poliana Casemiro, repórter do g1 enviada a Belém; e Paulo Artaxo, professor da USP e membro do Painel Intergovernamental de Mudanças Climáticas da ONU. A COP 30 entrou em sua semana decisiva nesta segunda-feira (17), com a chegada de ministros dos países participantes a Belém (PA). Inaugurada a etapa mais política da conferência, a expectativa é de que um acordo sobre o texto final da COP seja apresentado até sexta-feira (21). Fora da agenda oficial da conferência da ONU, uma proposta alternativa do Brasil tem recebido elogios: o chamado “mapa do caminho” para o abandono de combustíveis fósseis. Reduzir o consumo de combustíveis fósseis é uma medida considerada essencial para frear o aquecimento do planeta. Em conversa com Natuza Nery, a repórter do g1 Poliana Casemiro detalha o que é esse mapa e qual foi a estratégia adotada pelo Brasil para fazer o plano avançar. Direto de Belém, Poliana conta como os negociadores brasileiros dividiram as discussões em blocos, e quais são os pontos mais polêmico até aqui. Depois, a conversa é com Paulo Artaxo, professor da USP e integrante do Painel Intergovernamental de Mudanças Climáticas da ONU, o IPCC. Artaxo analisa como o mapa do caminho pode contribuir para o sucesso da COP 30. Ele também responde o que precisa sair da conferência para que seja possível dizer que houve avanço real na transição energética.
The UN processes created to deal with climate change have been infiltrated by obstructive forces since jump. In this episode, as COP 30 begins, Kari de Pryck from the University of Geneva and Eduardo Viola of the Institute of International Relations in Brasil join us to look at how COP and the IPCC get hijacked by those opposed to climate action, and what we can expect to see at this year's COP in Brazil.

Flood Data Shows Alarming Trends, Surpassing Previous Modeling Estimates. Professor Beth Tellman (University of Arizona Geography Department; Cloud to Street) highlights that her compiled flood data is useful for financial sectors, such as insurance and municipal bonds. The data shows Asia dominates observations, accounting for 398 of 913 events, including 85 in India and 52 in China. Furthermore, climate change projections for 2030 show Asia, among 57 countries globally, is expected to see significantly increased flood exposure. Tellman asserts her data is more alarming than previous modeling because it systematically captures impactful human events that models often exclude, such as dam breaks (13 events affecting over 13 million people). Although projections to 2100 are highly uncertain, the 2030 predictions are considered a "pretty good bet." This fresh, observed data, which runs contrary to good planning, is expected to be incorporated into the next IPCC report. 1894 PORTLAND
This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter begin with a roundup of the latest developments in Canadian energy. They start by discussing Prime Minister Carney's remarks at the ASEAN Summit in Malaysia, where he suggested that Canada could export up to 50 million tonnes of LNG per year (about 6.5 Bcf/d) by 2030, with the potential to double that by 2040. They then turn to the upcoming federal budget, which is expected to include details about Canada's Climate Competitiveness Plan. Another key topic is President Trump's decision to suspend trade talks with Canada following controversy over Ontario's free-trade advertisement. Next, the hosts reflect on Peter's recent commentary in The Hub, titled “Even if Alberta gets a new pipeline, what's next for the oilsands?” Finally, Jackie talks about her recent appearance on a CBC podcast that explored whether Canada can build pipelines while fighting climate change. She explains why she felt the show's coverage was not balanced and shares her broader concerns about how climate and energy topics are often framed in mainstream Canadian media.Content referenced in this podcast: The Globe and Mail, “Carney's climate vision is to deprioritize emissions targets, focus on economic advantages” (October 14, 2025) The Hub “Peter Tertzakian: Even if Alberta gets a new pipeline, what's next for the oilsands?” (October 4, 2025) CAPP Data Centre, “The Economic Impact of Canadian Oil and Gas,” see slide 23 titled “Canada's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by Industry | 2024” Government of Canada Publications, “Public Opinion Research on the National Adaptation Strategy,” (March 2025), see page 6: “A vast majority of people living in Canada (84%) consider climate change an important issue” Angus Reid Institute, “Pipeline Push: Majority of Canadians, including BC Residents support the idea of a pipeline to the north coast” (October 9, 2025) CBC Ideas Podcast “Can we have new pipelines and curb climate change too?” October 7, 2025Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify
Independent journalist/photographer. A career challenging dogma re climate, feminism, Canada's legal system. Grew up working class (dad: auto mechanic, mom: never finished high school). Never been politically correct, never been a member of the media inner circle.Donna Laframboise discusses her latest book, 'Thank You Truckers Canada's Heroes,' which chronicles the 2022 trucker convoy in Ottawa against COVID-19 mandates, highlighting the misrepresentation by mainstream media and the heartwarming solidarity among ordinary Canadians. She explains the hardships faced by the truckers, the public's overwhelming support, and the subsequent mistreatment by the government, including the freezing of bank accounts and severe penalties for non-violent protesters. Additionally, Laframboise provides insights into her previous investigative work on the IPCC's climate change reports and raises concerns about the current media landscape and political dynamics in Canada.00:00 Introduction to Donna Laframboise01:15 Media Coverage and Public Perception01:50 Writing the Book: Thank You Truckers04:23 Impact of the Trucker Convoy05:25 Freezing Bank Accounts: A Civil Liberties Issue08:12 Distrust in Media and Government09:05 Class Divide in Journalism11:44 Protesters' Motivations and Stories16:07 Support from Ordinary Canadians19:19 Mark Carney and Canadian Politics24:19 Climate Change Skepticism27:03 Crowdsourcing the IPCC Report28:53 The Delinquent Teenager Book31:10 Current Projects and Book Promotion33:29 Heartwarming Stories from the Freedom Convoy38:55 Legal Battles and Government Response46:35 Comparisons and Broader Implications52:05 Concluding Thoughts and Reflectionshttps://x.com/NOconsensushttps://thankyoutruckers.substack.com/Donna's books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00EZWIV7S/allbooks?ccs_id=07ceaeb3-071d-4bb2-91cc-106c0fa6753c=========My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
In episode 239 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons revisits his conversation with Dr. Katharine Mach, Professor at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. Katharine explains the process of drafting that report and how the media both succeeds and fails at communicating its urgency. Doug and Katharine also discussed the need to rethink the role and purpose of the IPCC as it prepares for its next major assessment—especially now, as the Trump administration dismantles the National Climate Assessment and scales back federal climate programs, making the IPCC's global work more important than ever. That makes the IPCC's independent, global work even more vital—providing the scientific foundation the world, and especially the U.S., still needs to understand and respond to climate risk. Transcript available here. Topics covered: IPCC is a grand partnership between the governments of the world. How did the media do in reporting on the IPCC report? The IPCC has zero regulatory authority over sovereign nations. What does it mean to be a lead author for the IPCC. Many developing countries don't have the climate data and experts that developed countries have. How can the IPCC be relevant to adaptation planners in the U.S. Who is the audience for the IPCC report and how do you communicate to different audiences. How can American policymakers make use of the IPCC report. Adaptation education at the University of Miami Key Quotes: “Adaptation isn't a checklist—it's a continuous conversation about what kind of future we want.” “Climate risk is always filtered through inequality.” “Transformative adaptation is about changing the rules of the game, not just moving the pieces.” “Science must learn to listen before it speaks.” Check out the America Adapts Media Kit here!

Here, Peter Hotez and Michael Mann name names...It's not too late to do something; it's time to get things done. Read on” (Bill Nye, science educator) From pandemics to the climate crisis, humanity faces tougher challenges than ever. Whether it's the health of our people or the health of our planet, we know we are on an unsustainable path. But our efforts to effectively tackle these existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and ideologically motivated opposition to science. Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez are two of the most respected and well-known scientists in the world and have spent the last twenty years on the front lines of the battle to convey accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information about science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition. In this powerful manifesto, they reveal the five main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press. It is a call to arms and a road map for dismantling the forces of anti-science. Armed with the information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths, shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet, and ultimately avert disaster. Peter J. Hotez, MD, PhD, is the founding dean of The National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, as well as director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development. He is an elected member of the Institute of Medicine of National Academies as well as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. A pediatrician and an expert in vaccinology and tropical disease, Hotez has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed articles and editorials as well dozens of textbook chapters. www.peterhotez.org Dr. Michael E. Mann is Presidential Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania, with a secondary appointment in the Annenberg School for Communication. He is director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media (PCSSM). Dr. Mann received his undergraduate degrees in Physics and Applied Math from the University of California at Berkeley, an M.S. degree in Physics from Yale University, and a Ph.D. in Geology & Geophysics from Yale University. His research involves the use of theoretical models and observational data to better understand Earth's climate system. Dr. Mann was a Lead Author on the Observed Climate Variability and Change chapter of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Third Scientific Assessment Report in 2001 and was organizing committee chair for the National Academy of Sciences Frontiers of Science in 2003. He has received a number of honors and awards including NOAA's outstanding publication award in 2002 and selection by Scientific American as one of the fifty leading visionaries in science and technology in 2002. He contributed, with other IPCC authors, to the award of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. He was awarded the Hans Oeschger Medal of the European Geosciences Union in 2012 and was awarded the National Conservation Achievement Award for science by the National Wildlife Federation in 2013.

Factors of Survival: Antifragility, River Systems, and IPCC Resilience Models AUTHOR NAME: Eric Cline BOOK TITLE: After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations; 1177 BC, the year civilization collapsed Phoenicians demonstrated antifragility by flourishing in chaos, using trade wealth to buy off the threatening Neo-Assyrians. The Cypriots, though on an island, were later overwhelmed by the Assyrians. The survival of Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians is partially attributed to their location on major river systems (Nile, Tigris/Euphrates), which the failed Hittites lacked. Resilience is analyzed using IPCC definitions: Phoenicians and Cypriots transformed, while Egyptians merely coped.
Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Gary Yohe, one of the world's leading climate economists, long-time IPCC author, and a member of the Nobel Peace Prize, winning IPCC team of 2007. Gary has spent over four decades shaping how we understand climate change, not just as an environmental issue, but as a fundamental risk management challenge.We explore his powerful framework: abate, adapt, or suffer. These are, he argues, the only three choices humanity has left, and crucially, some level of suffering is now unavoidable. Mitigation slows the pace of warming, adaptation reduces impacts, but neither can eliminate all risks. The insurance crisis unfolding in California and beyond shows what happens when climate risks become uninsurable, raising the threat of financial instability on a global scale.Gary also reminds us that climate decisions must be iterative. Policies cannot be fixed for 100 years; they must evolve as science, technology, and risk tolerance change. He illustrates this with striking examples, from New York's evacuation planning after Hurricane Sandy to San Francisco's flexible approach to sea-level rise.Yet, despite the scale of the challenge, Gary insists on hope, not blind optimism, but the conviction, as Václav Havel wrote, that action makes sense regardless of outcome. It's this perspective that has kept him, and many others, working relentlessly on solutions for over 40 years.If you want to understand why climate change is ultimately a risk management problem, why insurance, finance, and resilience are inseparable, and why hope is a strategy we can't do without, this episode is essential listening.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

8/8. Professor Eric Cline categorizes the Minoans (Crete) and Mycenaeans (mainland Greece) as societies that failedthe collapse in After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations. Despite outward vibrancy, they were internally fragile and vulnerable, possibly due to overextension, drought, famine, or internal uprisings. Cline applies IPCC definitions, classifying societies as "transforming," "adapting," or "coping," with the Minoans and Mycenaeans ultimately disappearing completely, illustrating their failure to recover. 1700 BABYLON
As global temperatures continue to skyrocket, the once unthinkable is now within view: overshooting 1.5°C of warming. This limit, set out in the Paris Agreement, has defined a decade of climate action, but is fast approaching. So what happens next?This week, Tom, Christiana and Paul grapple with the latest science, the looming risks of climate tipping points, and the urgent need to prepare for the worst - even while hoping and working for the best. They're joined by Ricken Patel, former Founding CEO of global activism nonprofit Avaaz, who is now calling us to take the possibility of overshoot seriously, and to build the political, technological and social capacity to bring temperatures back down.From nature-based solutions to novel carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management, this episode considers the broad spectrum of options on the table, and the challenges they present. Why has climate contingency planning been missing from the political debate? And does simply talking about it risk slowing climate action?These aren't just questions of what we might do in the future - but of what we're prepared to act on now.Learn more
