In this week's episode, host Chris Wright is joined by Andy Vesey, entrepreneur, award-winning energy executive and host of the ‘Investing in Zero' podcast; Jessica Long, head of climate change and sustainability practice at Ipsos MORI; Chuck McCutcheon, editor of Bloomberg Law's environment and energy desk; and John Vidal, former editor at Guardian Environment, for a ‘Deep Dive' conversation on climate change.The conversation begins by discussing how far science and the world has come in combating climate change, referencing the 1992 Earth Summit when climate change was “barely on the map”. Together, with predictions of heatwaves, high temperatures, flooding and rising sea levels becoming a reality, guests consider why there has been limited action, and the collaboration needed to solve this issue globally. The discussion moves on to talk about generational differences around engagement with the climate change movement; how this is reflected in political voting, and how the  pandemic has caused a “trust vacuum” around government, allowing industry to take a greater stance. They compare UK-US action, sustainable infrastructure investment, what we can expect from COP26 - and whether they are optimistic about reaching worldwide net-zero goals.Created & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at: www.wrightonthenail.fm

In 1920, a young woman was pulled from a canal in Berlin. When her identity couldn't be established, speculation started that she was a Russian princess who had escaped the execution of the imperial family. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the strange life of Anna Anderson and her disputed identity as Grand Duchess Anastasia. We'll also revisit French roosters and puzzle over not using headlights. Intro: In 1899, English engineer E.W. Barton-Wright introduced his own martial art. One early American locomotive was driven by a horse walking on a belt. Photo: The Russian royal family at Livadiya, Crimea, 1913, five years before the execution. Left to right: Olga, Maria, Nicholas II, Alexandra Fyodorovna, Anastasia, Alexei, and Tatiana.

In Episode 38, I tackle the cabal of global elites who are intent on ending consciousness. In 1902, the Pilgrim Society was formed by Sir Harry Brittain as a part of interlocking organizations with designs the create a “New World Order.” The first American head of the movement was Andrew Carnegie followed shortly after by John David Rockefeller. Who is the current head of the snake? I argue that it is Bill Gates who has invested in every type of DNA splicing technology known to man.

The Guardian environment editor John Vidal reports from the UN climate change conference in Paris, where gritty but positive negotiations to broker an agreement are nearing a conclusion

John Vidal travels to Manila, one of the top three most polluted cities in the world to see (and smell) the scale of the problem. Plus, Sam Jones reports on Mexico City’s programme to improve air quality • Can Mexico City’s roof gardens help shrug off smog?

Edward Glaeser, Jonathan Glancey and John Vidal discuss why more than half of the world's population now lives in cities and the economic and social forces behind this trend

Many thanks to the website http://guardian.co.uk.com for their continued posting of important information for a needy world. In this 18 July 2010 article "10 ways vegetarianism can help save the planet" by John Vidal for The Observer, the emphasis is on eating less meat. I think we would all agree that this is an important step in the direction of eliminating the use of animal products for our nutrition.
