Jim HansenHe was born in Pensacola, Florida in 1965 and raised in a military family. By the time he graduated from high school in 1983 in Newport News, Virginia, he had attended 9 different elementary and secondary schools. He can legitimately say he has lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington D.C., New York, Germany and now Maryland. Until he moved to the Washington metro area in 1989, he had never lived in one town/city for more than 3 years.  Travel and anything international have always been a significant part of his life. He grew up with a German grandmother who taught high school social studies when she wasn't traveling the world. His grandfather was in the American military and stationed in Turkey in the 1950s and Iran in the 1960s. That fueled his grandmother's love of the far and near east and that was transmitted to him via the slides she would show him when he stayed at her house and all the Asian artifacts that filled her home. She literally traveled the entire Silk Road except Afghanistan.  By the time he graduated college, he had already been to Europe and Asia. His career choices seemed to boil down to either international relations the hospitality industry, or a mix of the two.Luck and chance led him to a career in the Federal Government where he's been for 33 years. Approximately 23 of those years have been spent doing international work. The remainder has been in high-level management positions. His work has allowed him to travel to Europe, South America, and Asia multiple times. Between work and his own passion for travel, he's a member of the 6 continents club (with only Antarctica being the one that got away). His passion for travel continues in retirement. He's a big believer in life lists (NOT bucket lists). His generally contains places he'd love to visit. He's been very lucky in that he's hit so many places but there are still more to see. Right now, that includes New Zealand, India, South Africa, Costa Rica, Poland, and all the countries of the former Yugoslavia. He's very fortunate to have a partner of 29 years who also loves to travel. Ultimately, it's a compromise. We trade off in picking places to visit. Next stop? Probably Greece because he hasn't been (I've been twice). His next stop? Either India or New Zealand.The Washington metropolitan area, also sometimes referred to as Greater Washington, the National Capital Region, or colloquially as the DMV (named after the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia), is the metropolitan area containing Washington, D.C., the federal capital of the United States. The metropolitan area includes all of Washington, D.C., and parts of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Support the showIf you enjoy these podcasts, please make a donation by clicking the coffee cup on any page of our website www.wheredogaysretire.com.

In this episode of the Golfweek Rater Podcast, Jim Hansen chats Gary Lisbon, who has been an accomplished Melbourne, Australia -based golf-course photographer for almost two decades. His photographic goal is clear-cut: to capture the essence of the golfing landscape and the spirit of the game — through the medium of his camera.

In this ClimateGenn special episode, I publishing my first interview with Dr Jim Hansen who was at the time Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. This was recorded in 2012 at the European Geophysical Union, the annual conference that takes place every year in Vienna. Please support at https://patreon.com/genncc or follow on https://genn.cc. In recent weeks I have exchanged emails again with Dr Hansen to discuss his recent work that has a working title of ‘The Big Climate Short'. Hopefully this will be recorded once his latest work is submitted for publication. What strikes me about this decade old interview is that the language is so clear and the warnings regarding urgent action are in the timeframe of the next 1-1.5years. He even states the danger of waiting a decade to what would be 2022. Hansen made international news in the late 80's when he testified to US Congress about the need to change our energy system and reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases. He is straight pragmatic speaker who has consistently issued warnings that have been ignored despite the rising cost inflicted by such ignorance. Here he gives very clear definitions of what tipping points are and the danger of crossing them. He discusses the challenges that scientists face in communicating these problems. He also highlights evidenced strategies that could have significantly dealt with them at the time but with each passing year create an ever growing challenge. We are now where we are. The recent IPCC report talks about the closing window of opportunity to act. Coming at a time of extreme chaos and suffering in Europe, it is hard to see how we will navigate the coming weeks, months and years. How we deal with our own fear and concern regarding these issues is very important. War is obviously not the answer and neither is any sense of nihilism. Being able to focus on the problems and act with a broader sense of community is far more rewarding. In the next episode I am speaking to climate and policy analyst, David Spratt, Research Director at the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration in Melbourne, Australia. We will be discussing a range of subjects including the accelerating rate of impacts, what climate models don't tell us, as well as the tipping point risks we can't see or measure and that may already have been crossed. Thank you for listening to ClimateGenn. I have many more episodes to produce so please do subscribe. Thank you to all who are supporting the channel via Patreon. You can also drop me a note or comment on my website genn.cc and I will always try to respond. Thank you.

Golfweek Rater host Jim Hansen chats with John Strawn. Strawn is currently a founding principal at Strawn & Sampson, partnering with best-selling author Curt Sampson to research, write, design and print high-end golf course and golf club histories.  His most recent book, Creating Calusa Pines, narrated the origin story of a Top 100 course in Naples, FL designed by Mike Hurdzan and Dana Fry.  Golf Digest's Ron Whitten called Creating Calusa Pines "a hefty volume that belongs on the bookshelf of every golfer who has even a passing interest in golf course architecture. This club history is almost as fascinating as the golf course itself.” Writing the Calusa Pines book was a return to Strawn's roots as a writer after three decades working in golf course architecture.  His first golf book, Driving the Green(HarperCollins, 1991) chronicled the creation of an Arthur Hills course in West Palm Beach, FL.  Soon after its publication, Hills invited Strawn to join his firm. Strawn ran Hills' west coast office until 2000, when he joined Robert Trent Jones II, serving as its CEO for eight years.  During that time, RTJ II created some of the finest courses in its distinguished history, culminating in Chambers Bay, the first Pacific Northwest course to host a US Open. In addition to his work with Strawn & Sampson, Strawn keeps his hand in golf design, most prominently as a member of the team which has restored Gearhart Golf Links, the oldest course in the western United States.

Michael Joseph Farrell was born on February 6, 1939 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

From climate change to smoking and cancer, this is the story of how doubt has been manufactured. In this episode we take you to an oil company’s boardroom as they plan their response to the ‘crisis mentality’ that was emerging after the long hot summer of 1988. 5,000 people died in the heat wave, coinciding with the moment NASA scientist Jim Hansen announced that a ‘greenhouse effect’ was ‘changing our climate now’. This looked like a battle for the survival of the oil industry. This 10 part series explores how powerful interests and sharp PR managers engineered doubt about the connection between smoking and cancer and how similar tactics were later used by some to make us doubt climate change. With the help of once-secret internal memos, we take you behind boardroom doors where such strategies were drawn up and explore how the narrative changed on one of the most important stories of our time - and how the marketing of doubt has undermined our willingness to believe almost everything. Producer: Phoebe Keane for BBC Radio 4 Presenter: Peter Pomerantsev

Produced at KSQD 90.7FM Mainstream news media outlets have been slow to recognize and report on the climate and other ecological systems collapse. Is it out of ignorance, arrogance or both? In the vacuum, disinformation campaigns have filled the void, “fueled” by right wing media and oil industry money. More than 90% of radio hosts are conservative. This is a big part of the denialism in our country. Has the news media abandoned the climate and other environmental threats while doing the opposite with the coronavirus? The common denominators in both crises are: 1) Deadly global threat, no one is exempt, 2) Information and action can thwart or slow spread, 3) Personal actions have a public impact, 4) Requires national and international cooperation to reduce threat, 5) Requires some individual and societal sacrifice but benefit outweighs risk (suffering and death). What corporate news organizations choose to focus on determines what the public is focused upon and this narrow-vision contributes to ignorance, avoidance, and lack of response. This failure has been key in the lack of national response thus worsening the climate crisis during critical years. Media managers don't see it as their duty to provide solutions. So, whose responsibility IS it? What could possibly go wrong? Interview Guests: Betsy Rosenberg's broadcast career in television began working for ABC Sports for the Olympics and then working, for two decades, in radio as a reporter and anchor with CBS News. Later, she created, hosted, and produced “EcoTalk” heard on the Air America radio network attracting an audience of 50,000 and becoming the first daily green show in broadcast history. During its ten-year run, Betsy interviewed hundreds of eco-leaders in science, politics, culture, business, tech, arts and activism - from Al Gore and Bernie Sanders to Drs. Jim Hansen and Katherine Hayhoe to CEO's from all the pioneering green companies. Betsy blazed a trail in the field of environmental and climate journalism. She has written for Huffington Post and Medium.com, often about the media's failure to cover climate change, and is a contributing chapter author in Climate Abandoned: We're on the Endangered Species List, a #1 Amazon bestseller. Dr. Richard Nolthenius is Astronomy Program Chair at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz, CA. Dr. Nolthenius specializes in Mathematics, Aerospace Thermodynamics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy. In the past 10 years, Richard added climate science to his expertise, teaching a comprehensive course – Astro 7 - in Climate Science and its civilization context. By examining the climate science problem and searching for solutions, he has found it connected fundamentally to everything – from physics and evolutionary biology, to psychology, to economics and politics, to the thermodynamics of complex dynamical systems, and even the “strange attractors” of Chaos Theory. Solutions are not going to come from techno-wizardry, nor from politicians on the horizon today, nor from anyone mired in our current paradigms.

This is the second in a series of informative monthly podcasts for North Carolina businesses from PNC in partnership with Business North Carolina magazine. On this episode, we chat with Jim Hansen, regional president for PNC Bank for the eastern Carolinas. Hansen discusses his North Carolina roots and banking background, and PNC's focus and goals for the future.

God has given men a role, and that role is a role of leadership in the Church, in the family, and in society as a whole. But are men leading? Are they standing up? Are they being a Godly man? Jim Hansen, along with Pastor Bob Coughlin, Director of Men's Ministry at Grace Church, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, helps us understand the Godly role of a man, how they can be a Godly man, and how they can lead as a Godly man.Jim Hansen, CEO of EngageSDG, has been concerned about the lack of teaching on issues of morality and how it is affecting society. As the culture we live in continues to grow further and further away from God, it is essential that Christians are better trained on how to talk about difficult questions. EngageSDG is a resource for Ministries and Jim Hansen has a passion to help the Church effectively engage culture with an informed gentleness.

PNC’s Grow Up Great initiative exemplifies how business can step in and make an educational difference in children’s early years. This year PNC celebrates the 15th anniversary of their Grow Up Great program, a bilingual initiative to help children from birth through age 5 prepare for success in school and in life. In 2004, PNC employees chose early education as the company’s philanthropic focus when investing in early childhood education did not have as much widespread support as it does today. To date, more than 5 million children across the country have been supported through PNC’s local grants and educational programming.

In this episode, Jim Hansen talks with two pastors who share their thoughts on what Leadership means to them. They discuss that all Christians should have a leadership role, whether it’s in their family, at their job, or in their neighborhood. Christ calls this Servant Leadership, which means we need to serve our neighborhood, our employees, our employers, all those within our reach. We need to serve others in order to become Leaders and influence how others respond to Christ.Jim Hansen, CEO of Engage - SDG, has been concerned about the lack of teaching on issues of morality and how it is affecting society.

In the early days at World Resources Institute, founder Gus Speth charged Rafe Pomerance with outreach on climate change. Pomerance went on to organize high-profile hearings in the U.S. Senate that put climate on the policy radar and introduced Jim Hansen to the world. These hearings are the subject of a new issue-length article in the New York Times Magazine, "Losing Earth." (Link below) In a conversation with WRI Vice President for Communications Lawrence MacDonald, Pomerance returns to WRI to talk about what went into the hearings, what has hindered progress since then and why he thinks Florida is the key to decisive climate action in the United States.

Listen NowApproximately three weeks ago New York Magazine published David Wallace-Well's 7,500 word essay "The Uninhabitable Earth, Famine, Economic Collapse, A Sun That Cooks Us: What Climate Change Could Wreak - Sooner Than You Think."  The article has to date been downloaded over 4.5 million times.  It is the most read essay the magazine has ever published.  The essay begins with, "If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today."  The work goes on to discuss worst case effects by the end of this century should carbon emissions or global warming not be successfully addressed.   During this 36 minute conversation Mr. Wallace-Wells discusses what prompted him to write the essay.  He summarizes his findings, discusses Jim Hansen's concern climate scientists may be undermining their ability to effectively communicate the threat via what Hansen terms "scientific reticence," what, if any, edits he would make after learning the scientific community's response to the essay, and how hopeful he is whether carbon tax, carbon capture and other policies will avoid atmospheric warming by four, five or more degrees Celsius over the next several decades.David Wallace Wells is deputy editor at New York Magazine.  His 2015 cover story about the epidemic of honey bee deaths, the first magazine story to put the blame on neonicitinoid pesticides, is now accepted science.  He joined the magazine as literary editor in 2011 and became features director in 2016.  Before joining the magazine he was deputy editor at The Paris Review where he edited and published writers including Ann Beattie, Werner Herzog and Jonathan Franzen.  Previously Mr. Wallace-Wells served as The New York Sun's books editor.  Mr. Wallace-Wells graduated from Brown University with a degree in history.    Mr. Wallace-Wells essay is at: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html.   The noted Popovich and Pearce article, "It's Not Your Imagination Summers Are Getting Hotter," in the July 28 issue of The New York Times is at:  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/28/climate/more-frequent-extreme-summer-heat.html.Listeners may recall my March 31 interview with Professor Jonathan Patz regarding this past February's "Climate and Health Conference" at the Carter Center and links to two related essays by me posted this past June 13 concerning the medical community's non-response to the the Trump administration withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and one posted May 25, 2016 reviewing the Obama's administration's, "The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the US."   This is a public episode.

One of the most fascinating climate change stories of the year comes from Ross Anderson at The Atlantic. In "Welcome to Pleistocene Park", Ross writes about Pleistocene Park, a reserve in Siberia that aims to stave off climate change by attempting to recreate the conditions of the Pleistocene, turning the reserve into a grassland steppe ecosystem by importing large herbivores. The article also explores the possibilities of bringing back the woolly mammoth, specifically for a place like Pleistocene park. Read the full article at The Atlantic - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/04/pleistocene-park/517779/ Ross Anderson joins hosts Jacquelyn Gill and Andy Revkin for a discussion on this compelling project and related issues like long timescales, our understanding of the anthropocene, the ethics of rewilding, and the culture of elephants.

The Eighth Amendment protects people from cruel and unusual punishments in the United States but what does that mean? In the last 38 years, Americans used hangings, gas chambers, lethal injections, electrocutions, and firing squads to execute convicted murderers. Given the recent reports of botched lethal injections, some experts are calling for the return of the firing squad as the most humane form of capital punishment. On this episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host J. Craig Williams interviews Judge Alex Kozinski from the United States Court of Appeals for The Ninth Circuit, exonerated death row survivor Ronald Keine from Witness to Innocence, and M*A*S*H actor Mike Farrell from Death Penalty Focus. Together they discuss the merits of firing squads vs. lethal injections, corruption in the judicial system, and the morality of western society. Tune in to hear about the 144 exonerated death row survivors as well as Ronald Keine's near miss with the gas chamber. Judge Alex Kozinski sits on the bench of the United States Court of Appeals for The Ninth Circuit where he's served since his appointment on November 7th 1985. Prior to his appointment Judge Kozinski occupied other prestigious positions including Chief Judge of the US Claims Court and Office of Counsel to the President. He is married with three children plus three grandchildren. Ronald Keine is an exonerated death row inmate who was just 9 days from his execution in the gas chamber when the actual murderer confessed to the crime. Today, he an Assistant Director of Membership and Training for Witness to Innocence an anti-death penalty organization whose leading voice is that of exonerated death row survivors. Mike Farrell played Captain BJ Hunnicut for eight years on the hit television show M*A*S*H as well other roles like Jim Hansen in another series called Providence. In the 90s, he served for three years as a member of the State of California's Commission on Judicial Performance. Mr. Farrell is a life-long opponent of the death penalty and has been the President of Death Penalty Focus since 1994. Special thanks to our sponsor, Clio.

Du kennst das. Du kaufst einen Film und das erste was dir auf dem tollen Cover ins Auge springt ist das riesige FSK Logo. Frueher war es noch dezent auf der Rueckseite platziert und nun zerstoert es viele geniale Motive. Doch was ist der Grund fuer den grossen Flatschen? Nach welchen Kriterien wird ein Film ueberhaupt bewertet? Mit all diesen Fragen haben wir uns in Diskussionen fuer Millionen mal beschaeftigt. Doch nicht nur im Irrgarten der FSK-Bestimmungen haben wir uns mal umgesehen, sondern begutachten auch wie schwer die Labyrinthe in Die Reise ins Labyrinth und Pans Labyrinth zu meistern sind. Ferner widmen wir uns noch einmal dem neuesten Teil der X-Men Reihe und schauen wie gut der dritte Film mit Drew Barrymore und Adam Sandler in den Hauptrollen ist. Natuerlich duerfen die interessantesten Kinostarts nicht fehlen. Das alles nun in der dreizehnten Ausgabe von Nightcrow.

On the Wednesday, February 5th, 2014 episode at 12 Noon Pacific/3PM Eastern time we kick off our 2014 coverage with an ACO Roundtable with three industry veterans who will dig into the headlines and discuss the meaning of the data. For a context piece on the episode, see: 'More than Half of ACOs "Save Money' Only 1/4 Bonus Providers' on ACO Watch.   Following a rather robust conversation on twitter centered around the recently published 'start up costs for ACOs' published by the National Association of ACOs (NAACOs), we decided it was a good time to dig beyond the headlines and try to make sense of the growth and dispersion of ACOs both nationally and regionally. On the broadcast is Fred Goldstein, Jim Hansen and David Crais. Join us!  

On the Wednesday, July 17th, 2013 broadcast at 12 Noon Pacific/3PM Eastern our special guests are Jim Hansen, VP of Lumeris 's Accountable Delivery System Institute and Dr Jerry Penso Chief Medical and Quality Officer the American Medical Group Associaton (AMGA). We'll discuss the recent announcement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid of the results from the first year of participation in the Pioneer ACO program. Depending on who you speak with, there is a different take on how to interpret the movement within and out of the Pioneer program. For background see: Pioneers Take Arrows While Settlers’ Get the Land?’at @ACOwatch. Join us for a timely and informative exchange on this important development in the roll out of the Affordable Care Act. For additional context, check out the 'This Week in Health Innovation with Michael Millenson'. Join us!
