2025年即将结束,在年终回望时,过去一年的天气给你留下了哪些记忆?是持续更久的夏日热浪,还是降水格局的不断变化?是一次次让人措手不及的冷暖急转,还是在高温和干旱叠加下频繁出现的火灾风险?这些天气碎片构成了我们共同的一年,但同样的极端天气,对不同处境的人来说,却意味着完全不同的后果。本期从自然之友「玲感大会」的一场圆桌出发,聊聊“气候脆弱性”到底在说什么:它不是某些人的“天生弱”,而是风险如何在不同群体中被不平等地放大;以及当我们为“被边缘/不被看见的人”发声时,我们的身份与正当性来自哪里。音频主体来自今年9月21日自然之友「玲感大会」,包括一场由时任自然之友玲珑计划项目负责人李华主持的圆桌分享,以及在我们设置的《不成气候》线下声音互动站收集到的音频留言与访谈,汇聚了不同领域的实践者与行动者:卢辉医生:从医学与公共卫生角度理解高温、热浪等极端天气如何影响健康与脆弱性赵心忆:研究气候变化与公平正义,指出“被边缘化的人群”更能指向结构性不平等王雪晴:呼吁”未经他人苦,莫劝他人善”,关注社区高温天气下街道环卫工人于坤:从系统视角谈“被看见”的重要性,尤其是户外工作者等在高温风险中的处境张温(弱水):关注气候变化下的肢体残障群体,带来残障伙伴的适应经验与对“未来社会”的想象袅袅:长期在残障倡导领域工作的 NGO 公益人,分享残障女性/孤独症群体在极端天气下的真实困境与行动项目毛竹、王雪晴:关于酷热夏天的感知、想象与“如何适应”的个人经验希望听完这期节目,你会带走的三件事: (1)一个更清晰的概念:气候脆弱性不是我们“自身弱”,而是“风险如何被结构放大”; (2)一套更温柔也更有效的语言:从“归咎”走向“看见、理解与行动”; (3)来自残障伙伴与一线实践者的具体方法与未来想象:环保不是限制,也不仅是道德压力,而是一种更大的包容。这是我们在 2025 年的最后一期节目。愿我们在一个更有韧性的 2026 年相遇。【本期剧透】 00:04 声音互动站留言:共同富裕没有我,气候变化都怪我?气候传播为何成“流量杀手”?03:26 医学视角下的脆弱性:哪些人群更易受极端天气伤害04:36 气候科学框架:从“脆弱性三要素”到“风险框架”的转向07:30 圆桌讨论:称呼是否带偏见?“弱势/脆弱” vs “被边缘化/不被看见”10:57 真实困境:高温“别出门”为什么不现实?设施与空间如何回应人的需要15:12 语言与权力:如何避免把"弱"归咎于个体?19:56 发声的正当性:差异、特权、代表性与行动者的自我定位30:55 袅袅:极端天气下残障女性/孤独症群体的困境与行动33:05 张温(弱水):残障伙伴的适应智慧43:56 彩蛋:毛竹的上海酷暑记忆与“洞穴想象”;雪晴的气候传播体验; 袅袅的北京酷暑观察与环保机构推荐【延伸阅读】 Ronald C Estoque et al. :Has the IPCC's revised vulnerability concept been well adopted? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9755408/#Abs1肖瑶/南风窗 :热射病来袭,高温下脆弱的人 (卢辉医生项目信息)https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/dHpKxOlGNaIBIcpsQmUWRg赵心忆/谁的好天气:在这四个时刻,我看见环境与性别议题的交织https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ABqqCoynLBjjnd9ddtqXUw不成气候:E48:热浪频发,如何为户外工作者撑一把“凉伞”(王雪晴和于坤项目信息)https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/episode/684ffdb57dd7cf6566095c3e?s=eyJ1IjoiNWVkNjZjNzAwMjk4NTMxYzQ0ODk5NTRmIiwiZCI6MX0%3D麦麦/果壳自然:他腿上十几公分的疤,可能是被轮椅烫的(张温项目信息)https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/r_aKsjeFuvA3h4Y3l9OSAg【创作团队】 策划:自然之友、何弦、乐园后期:何弦《不成气候No Such Climate》是一档广泛地关注气候变化、空气污染等大气科学议题与时事热点、社会生活的相交点的播客。【收听方式】 欢迎通过苹果播客、小宇宙、Spotify、Pocket Casts等泛用型播客客户端订阅我们的节目。我们也会在喜马拉雅、荔枝播客、QQ音乐、豆瓣等平台同步更新。【联系我们】 小红书@不成气候NoSuchClimate 微信公众号 不成气候No Such Climate nosuchclimate@gmail.com

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.
This episode was recorded in 2020.Donna Laframboise is a Canadian investigative journalist, writer and photographer. She has previously worked as a columnist for the National Post and the Toronto Star, and served as the past vice president of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.She is known for her critical reviews of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its reports for the United Nations.Her book, on which my conversation with her is based, The Delinquent Teenager Who Was Mistaken for the World's Top Climate Change Expert, exposed two major issues:Reliance on non-peer-reviewed literature: She found that a significant portion of the scientific literature cited in the IPCC's influential 2007 Fourth Assessment Report came from sources that were not peer-reviewed.Use of non-scientist contributors: Her investigation revealed that many of the authors and reviewers for the IPCC reports had affiliations with activist organisations.Donna explained why the IPCC should not be trusted with anything to do with climate science.➡️ If you enjoy my work, please show your support.

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.

Com sede em Belém do Pará, a 30ª edição da Conferência do Clima das Nações Unidas (COP 30) tem início hoje, 10 de novembro, e prossegue até o dia 21. O jornalista Cesar Mendes conversou com o professor Carlos Nobre, climatologista e pesquisador da USP, que considera esta 30ª edição a mais importante dentre todas já realizadas desde o Acordo de Paris. Primeiro a empregar o termo "ponto de não retorno", o cientista nos explica o que isso significa e os resultados devastadores, especificamente para a Floresta Amazônia, se não for possível manter a temperatura nos limites máximos recomendados pelos cientistas do IPCC, o Painel Intergovernamental de Mudanças Climáticas da ONU. Carlos Nobre afirma que o Brasil tem condições de rapidamente zerar as emissões de gases até 2040, ampliar a conectividade entre emissões, preservação e recuperação ambiental, marcando definitivamente a história da conferência.
Niemand hat mehr Einfluss auf das Klima als die Politik. Deshalb gibt es die Weltklima-Konferenz – das mächtigste internationale Werkzeug. Meteorologin Daniela Jacob erklärt, was die Konferenzteilnehmer entscheiden müssten, um die Erderwärmung wirklich zu stoppen. Die Fragen stellen Tech-Journalistin Svea Eckert und Torsten Fischer vom Hereon.+ Das Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon unterstützt den Podcast „P.M.

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
In this episode of Fresh Thinking by Snowden Optiro, Tarrant Elkington (General Manager, Snowden Optiro) is joined by Markus Dammers (Director, IPCC & Conveyors, Metso) to talk about what IPCC really means in practice, and whether "strategic conveying" is a more useful way to frame the conversation. They explore the spectrum of IPCC options (fixed, semi-mobile and fully mobile), where value is actually created (and lost) in mine planning, what people often miss when they consider in-pit systems, and how lead times, standardisation and decarbonisation assumptions influence decisions. Key timestamps: 1:24 What does "IPCC" actually cover (and why it's often used as an umbrella term)? 3:37 IPCC's real purpose: reducing trucks, not always eliminating them 5:39 Is "strategic conveying" a better term than IPCC? 7:25 Fully mobile (truckless) IPCC: where it works, and why hard rock is challenging 12:30 In-pit crushers: the planning and operational complications people underestimate 18:53 Lead times, standardisation and improving study-to-delivery pathways 24:41 Decarbonisation: diesel, carbon assumptions, and balancing ESG with economics 29:57 Wrap-up and how to learn more If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe for more mining-focused technical discussions across the mine value chain.

In this episode of Fresh Thinking by Snowden Optiro, Dr Tarrant Elkington (General Manager, Snowden Optiro) and Markus Dammers (Director IPCC & Conveyors, Metso) explore their rapid screening tool designed to speed up evaluation of In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) options. They discuss how the model helps mining operations quickly assess economic viability, reduce decision uncertainty, and identify where IPCC truly makes sense - saving valuable study time and capital. If you're in mine planning, haulage optimisation, or exploring electrification and sustainability in mining, this episode is packed with insight. Key Points & Timeline 1:00 – Why the Paper and Model Were Developed The challenge of evaluating IPCC options and the need for a quick, macro-economic decision framework. 3:30 – Complexity of IPCC Decisions Discussing parameters such as pit depth, relocation timing, and haulage versus conveying trade-offs. 4:00 – Origins of the Rapid Screening Tool How a practical spreadsheet model evolved to assess the feasibility of IPCC across multiple projects. 6:00 – Key Inputs and Parameters Understanding capacity, conveyor length and lift, and the dynamic relationship between truck and conveyor economics. 8:00 – Macro-Economic Viewpoint Why early-stage, big-picture modelling matters for major mine investment decisions. 9:00 – How the Model Works Overview of how the Excel-based tool compares IPCC and trucking using NPV, IRR, and payback calculations. 11:00 – Ore vs Waste Applications How the economics differ when applying IPCC to ore versus waste haulage scenarios. 12:00 – Building Reliable Cost Models Markus explains Metso's structured approach to estimating realistic capital and operating costs for crushers and conveyors. 15:00 – Accounting for Excavation and Ramp Design Tarrant explains the importance of considering excavation and pit geometry in cost evaluation. 17:00 – Case Study Results Findings from applying the tool to typical mining scenarios, comparing ex-pit and in-pit setups. 19:00 – Economic Sensitivities and Insights Discussion of throughput, lift, and distance variables — and how they shape viability. 21:00 – Waste IPCC Economics Why higher capacities and longer distances are needed to make waste IPCC feasible. 23:00 – Future Improvements and Next Steps Potential refinements to the tool and how it could support more dynamic project planning. 2 4:30 – Closing Thoughts How to access or apply the model for your own operation and where to contact the speakers.

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. He made Bloomberg News' list of fifty most influential people in 2013. In 2014, he was named Highly Cited Researcher by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and received the Friend of the Planet Award from the National Center for Science Education. He received the Stephen H.

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.

Principal Scientist at GreenXperts Limited, a New Zealand-based sustainability consultancy involved in numerous carbon and land management projects. Today, she says huge pieces of Antarctica are not falling off due to livestock emissions. Rather, she says, we should be global leaders and a better investment for NZ would be "to develop some diplomatic bottle" and lobby the IPCC to remove livestock emissions from the Paris Climate Agreement.

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

In this special episode, revisit this conversation with Prof. Tim Benton, as we remind ourselves of the devastating potential of the tail risks from climate change. Our regular listeners will know that we usually to take a break from the podcast in August. But every once in a while, in this fast-moving field of climate and sustainability, it's helpful to pause and reflect on where we've been, what we've learned, and how far we've come. That's why we're re-releasing this episode from the archives, and revisiting a conversation that's just as relevant today - if not more so - than when it first aired in late 2021. This conversation about the tail risks from climate change left a huge impression on us at the GARP Risk Institute. The framing of climate risk as non-linear, deeply complex, and capable of amplifying other risks from food insecurity to political instability, was enormously influential on the direction of this podcast. Today, where the window for an orderly transition is rapidly narrowing, it's all the more important that we remember the extent of the risks posed by climate change. This episode explores: Why the risks associated with even 2.0◦C warming are greater than you might think; How climate risks are transmitted through, and amplified by, our interconnected economy; and How risk professionals can best prepare for the complex and unpredictable risks of climate change.

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
In this episode, Michael speaks with Rachelle Gould, Associate Professor at the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources and an Environmental Fellow at the Gund Institute at the University of Vermont. Rachelle is a prominent and productive scholar on several topics, and one of the main ones she has written about is relational values, which were introduced to represent a different way of relating to the environment that hadn't been expressed by the more traditional dichotomy of intrinsic and extrinsic value. Relational values have become very popular within academia and have become a focal point of publications by the The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, or IPBES, which Rachelle describes as the IPCC for Biodiversity. Rachelle was also a Lead Author on the recent IPBES Values Assessment. During their conversation, Michael asks Rachelle about some concerns he has about relational values, primarily that it seemed to be so popular that it was becoming a way of labeling anything that we like as relational, and secondly, that it had become a new panacea: something that doesn't present trade-offs but which we should simply want more of, regardless of context. They discuss these concerns as well as the significant value that Rachelle sees in a concept that can better represent how human beings can and do relate to the natural world.

[Non]conscious Influence: Understanding and Addressing Implicit BiasImplicit bias, or non-conscious bias, affects decision-making through stereotype activation and is connected to behavioral outcomes. Using the understanding of impact versus intent as a frame for learning about implicit bias will be highlighted to help reduce the negative influences of bias in the work. At the conclusion of this presentation, discussion of cultural humility will create an opportunity for forward movement in self-discovery.Objectives: 1. Describe concepts of impact versus intent for greater understanding of shifting focus2. Explain how implicit bias is formed and how it could affect decision-making3. Discuss strategies for creating opportunities to move forward in understanding cultural humility in our daily livesChris Martin, MSW, LMSW, PhDDr. Chris Martin is an Associate Professor and MSW Program Director in the School of Social Work at St. Ambrose University and serves as the Interim Associate Dean for the College of Health and Human Services. She teaches both diversity and advanced individual and family skills courses in the School. Her scholarship lies in the area of implicit racial bias and this led her to create a curriculum for the Iowa Department of Human Services to educate both employees of the Department and community members across the state in a 6 hour implicit bias learning exchange. Dr. Martin is committed to the teaching and learning of bias, characteristics of white supremacy, antiracism, and social justice.
Ask anyone anywhere what's the leading cause of global heating and they'll tell you: fossil fuels. But what if we're all wrong? Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop is a scientist for the World Preservation Foundation and worked as a Principal Scientist with Queensland Government Natural Resources, using satellite data to monitor three decades of vegetation cover and broadscale deforestation. In February 2025, he released a paper showing how the IPCC is using different models to calculate the emissions from fossil fuels and animal agriculture. Gerrard researches shows, when we use the same model for both, animal agriculture becomes the biggest driver of global heating. In this episode, Gerard explains his research and other problems with emissions calculation, including how deforestation is disregarded and methane is misrepresented. He calls all of this inconsistent emissions accounting—and it could be leading policy-leaders astray. Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis.

Dr. Green is co-director of forecastingprinciples.com, a site promoting evidenced-based forecasting, and is a pioneer of methods to predict the decisions people will make in conflict situations such as occur in wars and in business.Green became interested in climate forecasting when he realized the dire predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and others might result in policies that would cause great harm to people. He decided to use his knowledge of forecasting to investigate whether predictions of dangerous manmade global warming were based on scientific forecasting methods.00:00 Introduction to Kesten Green and Climate Forecasting01:12 Initial Climate Forecasting Efforts03:24 Collaboration with Willie Soon04:54 Scientific Method and Alternative Hypotheses05:41 Critique of IPCC Climate Models06:15 Summary of Findings: Net Zero Makes No Sense13:21 IPCC's Attribution Studies and Solar Variables15:14 Challenges in Detection and Attribution of Temperature Trends18:57 Testing Predictive Validity of Climate Models34:29 Urban Heat Island Effect and Rural Temperature Anomalies43:43 Benchmarking and Simplicity in Forecasting51:56 Analyzing Rural Temperature Forecasts53:17 Comparing IPCC and Independent Models54:23 Forecasting with Extended Data59:03 Evaluating Model Reliability59:56 Statistical Fit vs. Predictive Validity01:01:17 Exploring Model Estimation Techniques01:05:23 Anthropogenic vs. Natural Influences01:28:04 Challenges in Scientific Publishing01:33:31 Conclusions on Climate Models01:36:21 Historical Environmental Alarmshttps://kestencgreen.com/https://heartland.org/about-us/who-we-are/kesten-green/About the Green & Soon (2025) paper: https://x.com/cohler/status/1924777203298140608=========AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summarieshttps://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
A lively conversation about how surveillance tech, created and tested in Israel & the US, targets climate refugees across the world. And how refugees have much better solutions than more of the same.In this episode the executive director of Climate Refugees, Amali Tower, crosses the globe from Israel/Palestine to the U.S.-Mexico borderlands to look at the technology that connects the seemingly disparate realities of warfare, surveillance, and immigration raids, putting them in the context of climate change and increasing global displacement. When people arrive to the U.S.-Mexico border, Tower says, they get “the same digital fortress, the same technical fortress, the same virtual wall, and the same physical wall that has been battle tested in Palestine and on Palestinians.”Stay to the end of the conversation, when we turn to alternatives and what people can do to make the world a better place. Amali talks about her visit to Arizona and Sonora last year, when we visited the binational fair trade coffee cooperative Café Justo in Agua Prieta. As you'll hear, this is a thriving example of an alternative to border militarization and an assertion of the right to stay home.Amali says that in the 10 years that she's been looking at the intersection of climate and displacement, she sees “blatant hypocrisy from countries seemingly supposedly caring about saving the planet for future generations to come” while they are simultaneously undermining “all those goals and plans and adaptations and all these wonderful things we are supposed to be doing for the so-called existential threat.”Instead, she continues, “When it comes to war and militarism, when it comes to borders, when it comes to keeping people out, it's incredible how we only have language and infrastructure and architecture to do that.”Here are links to sources mentioned in the conversation: a look at climate change in Israel/Palestine, and the IPCC report and one by Amali on the Mediterranean basin as a climate hot spot. And here is Amali's piece written in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in 2020, “If Black Americans Were to Seek Asylum, They Could Qualify.”The separation wall in Bethlehem, Palestine in 2021.

Cyclone Alfred should not have tracked as far south as it did. But in March it tore through Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Northern Rivers, affecting about four million people. One of them was climate scientist and IPCC lead author, Joëlle Gergis. She says the storm’s freak southward drift, driven by record-warm ocean temperatures, shows the climate crisis is outrunning politics. Today, Joëlle Gergis on how far governments have fallen behind their climate promises – and the bold action Australia must take before the next disaster strikes.

What happens if the Amazon rainforest stops absorbing carbon and starts releasing it? Do we need geoengineering to help us cool an overheating planet? And how can developing countries balance environmental preservation with economic development?This week on Cleaning Up, Baroness Bryony Worthington sits down with Thelma Krug, a renowned Brazilian scientist and mathematician, and former vice chair of the IPCC, to explore these critical questions.Krug offers an insider's perspective, drawing from her decades of experience monitoring the Amazon rainforest and participating in international climate negotiations.The conversation ranges from the alarming transformation of the Amazon from a carbon sink to a potential carbon source, to the controversial realm of solar radiation management. As it prepares to host COP30 in Belem in November, Krug provides nuanced insights into Brazil's challenges, the complexities of global climate policy, and the potential for innovative solutions like biofuels and international collaboration.Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

The aviation industry and climate change: what are contrails? A 2022 IPCC report found that direct GHG emissions from the transport sector accounted for 23% of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019. Road vehicles accounted for 70% of direct transport emissions, while 1%, 11%, and 12% of emissions came from rail, shipping, and aviation, respectively. As the mounting effects of climate change continue to be felt worldwide, the aviation industry is pioneering a method to reduce its contributions. Namely, it is focusing on efforts to curtail condensation trails – or contrails – which are fluffy, white cloud formations that sometimes appear as airplanes fly through the cold, humid, and icy parts of the atmosphere. Because they are a combination of soot, water vapor, and particulate matter (such as NOx), when aircrafts pass through these areas, they form cirrus clouds that absorb the radiation escaping from the surface, and, in turn, trap the heat. This phenomenon could account for around 35% of aviation's total contribution to climate change — that's about 1 to 2% of overall global warming! Together, these contrails roughly triple the total global warming impact of aviation compared to CO2 alone. Therefore, it is imperative that the aviation industry find solutions to reduce the production of contrails. What the industry has come up with: 3 solutions One method of reducing contrails consists of replacing traditional fuels with biofuels made from plant or animal biomass, waste, sugars and ethanol (corn). Sustainable jet fuels can produce 50%-70% fewer contrails according to research conducted by NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Jets using alternative fuels release fewer soot particles, thereby creating fewer ice crystal formations, which ultimately reduces contrail production by extension. Though biofuels may initially form larger crystals, they fall more quickly and melt in the warmer air below.The second method involves developing electric or hydrogen-powered commercial aircrafts. Hydrogen is an attractive alternative to traditional aircrafts because it can be burned without emitting CO2 and is widely available. These aircrafts would either burn liquid hydrogen directly into their engines, or use gaseous hydrogen in a fuel cell system. With fuel cells, the hydrogen creates an electrochemical reaction that produces electricity to charge the aircraft's batteries while in flight. A third method involves redirecting flights to avoid contrail-inducing zones. Between 2% and 10% of all flights create around 80% of the contrails, so researchers have started developing predictive models that would allow airlines to identify and avoid contrail regions similarly to how they plan to avoid turbulence. The cost is predicted to be $0.5/ ton of CO2 equivalent. Furthermore, only minor adjustments to the routes of a small fraction of airplane flights is required, making predictive models highly attractive and cost effective. Some ChallengesWhile biofuels have great potential, they come with their own set of challenges. First is the issue of land use and its effects on agriculture. Producing three billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel would require between 8 and 11 million acres of corn or 35 and 50 million acres of soybeans, depending on crop yields. This could impact food production and cost. Shifting to corn or soybean based fuels has also been found to produce significant adverse emissions impacts. Lastly, it's unclear whether sustainable fuels can meet the world's growing demand for aerial transportation. While hydrogen is attractive, it has lower energy density than fossil fuels, meaning that a higher onboard fuel storage volume is needed to cover the same distance as current fossil fuel-powered aircrafts. In addition, H2-powered large passenger planes would require significant changes to aircraft design, making it less cost effective in the short term when RD&D costs are considered (development of fuel cell technology and liquid hydrogen tanks, aircraft research, hydrogen infrastructure, fleet output, etc). Industry experts anticipate that it will take 10 to 15 years to make these important advancements. Lastly, contrail prediction models rely on a variety of input data, including flight trajectories, aircraft and engine parameters, fuel characteristics, and weather data. However, the availability and accuracy of some of these data inputs is still a challenge, as no standardization exists. Who is our guest? Matteo Mirolo is Head of Policy and Strategy, Contrails at Breakthrough Energy, an organization founded by Bill Gates to spur innovation in clean energy and address climate change. Prior to that he was sustainable aviation policy manager at Transport & Environment (clean transport advocacy group). Mirolo is also a member of the sustainability advisory panel at Air New Zealand.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I'm joined by Angel Hsu, associate professor at UNC Chapel Hill and founder of the Data-Driven EnviroLab. We dive deep into how AI can be used to combat climate misinformation and bring real accountability to climate pledges.Angel and her team have built two domain-specific AI tools, ChatNetZero and ChatNDC, designed to help policymakers, researchers, and business leaders navigate the chaos of climate targets, national climate plans, and net zero claims. Unlike generic chatbots, which often hallucinate facts or pull from questionable sources, these tools are trained on verified, climate-specific datasets and come with built-in safeguards against misinformation.We also unpack why generic AI tools like ChatGPT fall short in this space, how climate policy is lagging behind AI innovation, and what it'll take to close that gap. Angel shares insights from her work with the Net Zero Tracker, the IPCC, and her current NSF-backed initiative to boost AI integrity in climate mitigation.If you're in policy, sustainability, or just trying to make sense of what's greenwashing and what's not, this episode is packed with actionable insights.Listen now to learn:Why domain-specific AI beats generic models in climate accuracyHow ChatNetZero flags weak net zero targetsWhat policymakers can do today to use AI responsiblyWhy transparency in data, and in AI, is non-negotiableFor more, about Angel, and her team's work, visit https://datadrivenlab.org/Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing supporters: Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Support 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.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Picture a city that beats brutal heat waves with cool tree-lined streets, slashes household energy bills, and cuts carbon pollution by as much as 80%, without waiting for these miracle technologies. That future-positive vision is already taking shape in fast-growing places like Ahmedabad, India, where community-designed cooling plans and demand-side innovations are proving that climate action can double as a public health and equity upgrade.It's co-benefits. You've heard it a thousand times. We're gonna talk about them more today. What can you do to help your city deliver cleaner air, lower costs, and a safer climate? My guest today is Dr. Minal Pathak, associate professor at Ahmedabad University and a former senior scientist with the IPCC who helped craft the landmark sixth assessment report. We will explore how people-centered, data-smart solutions can transform just about any city into a climate-resilient wellbeing powerhouse and how you can start pushing your neighborhood, your spheres of influence, down that path today.-----------Have feedback or questions?
