As the Greenland ice sheet melts, more freshwater is pouring into the oceans and that's triggering feedback loops that could mean disastrous coastal sea level rise and drought. New Yorker staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert reported from the summit of the Greenland ice sheet for her new piece, “When the Arctic Melts.” “If we cross the tipping point for the Greenland ice sheet,” she writes, “we may not even notice. And yet the world as we know it will be gone.” Kolbert joins us. Guests: Elizabeth Kolbert, staff writer, The New Yorker

Sybil Kolbert has always had a role in helping people create change, but its looked different over the years. She spent the first two decades of her career as a school psychologist, then she stepped into nonprofit work to help survivors rebuild after trauma. This is where she learned about trauma-informed care, and most importantly, about being trauma-informed - knowledge she wishes she'd had when she was working in education. Over eight years, she's learned how to steward the trauma she hears from the survivors she coaches. She's learned how to disciple with a fierce love and a loose grip. She's learned about the importance of teams and the human need for lament. She's learned how to rebuild, and how to help others rebuild.Now Sybil is taking her knowledge and passion into churches, training them in the sometimes heavy work of helping others rebuild. Her dream? That churches in her central California community would be equipped to love others the way Jesus does.Join us as we chat with Sybil - coach, writer, author (Finding Home is available here), seminary student, wife, and mother of three young adults. To learn more about Sybil's work, or to contact her, go to her website. 

How do we understand the stakes of climate change, and communicate them? As we're facing the consequences of climate change and our historical inaction as a species, how do we come to terms with the reality and uncertainty of our situation?In H is for Hope: Climate Change from A to Z, Journalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Kolbert breaks things down for us, alphabetically. She dissects the narratives around climate change, from sobering facts about our warming planet, to innovations to fuel our optimism.In this episode, Kolbert reminds us how dangerous our current situation is, and what we are missing in this fight – including gaps in our understanding of how fast the climate is changing. Plus, the role of narratives in shaping how we decide to act. To read about subjects like this and much more, visit newscientist.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In her new book “H Is for Hope: Climate Change from A to Z,” Elizabeth Kolbert writes that “to say amazing work is being done to combat climate change and to say that almost no progress has been made is not a contradiction. It's a simple statement of fact.” In this episode of ESG Currents, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author joins Bloomberg Intelligence Director of ESG Research Eric Kane to talk about this paradox, why she was drawn to writing about climate change and biodiversity, the timeline of earth's history, whether we can reach net zero when we keep inventing new ways to consume energy and much more. This episode was recorded on April 22.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In her new book H Is for Hope, author Elizabeth Kolbert explores the landscape of climate change in a series of 26 animated essays arranged in alphabetical order-from "A", for Svante Arrhenius, who created the world's first climate model in 1894, to "Z", for the Colorado River Basin, ground zero for climate change in the United States. Kolbert is a staff writer for The New Yorker and author of several books, most notably Pulitzer Prize winner The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History, which chronicled previous mass extinction events and compared them to the accelerated, widespread extinctions of our present time.

In twenty-six essays, one for each letter of the alphabet, Elizabeth Kolbert takes us on a haunting journey through the history of climate change and the uncertainties of our future in her new book, "H Is for Hope." Kolbert is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Sixth Extinction." Elizabeth Kolbert will be in conversation with Bill McKibben at Northshire Bookstore tomorrow night at 6 p.m.

Even before Al Gore's “An Inconvenient Truth” brought climate change to the mainstream, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Elizabeth Kolbert was on the beat. Her reporting in the early 2000s culminated in her book “Field Notes from a Catastrophe,” which sounded the alarm on the causes and effects of global warming.  Nearly 20 years later, Kolbert is still bringing the climate story to the public with her new book “H Is for Hope: Climate Change from A to Z.” The book is told in bite size vignettes that paint a picture of our climate present, what the future may hold and where there may be space for hope.

The Six Ideas to Change the World series, in partnership with Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust, continues in October with award-winning writer and journalist Elizabeth Kolbert, author of the international best-seller The Sixth Extinction. Plastics are poisoning us. In the midst of a global pollution crisis, research clearly illustrates the toxic effects of microplastics, which both release and attract dangerous chemicals. But while plastics are a relatively recent human invention, they have become so ubiquitous as to seem indispensable. Will our planet ever be rid of them? Join us to hear Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Kolbert discuss life beyond plastics and the wider conundrums posed by human inventions and technologies; how they contribute to and create environmental problems, but also retain important uses and may even be used as solutions. Speakers Elizabeth Kolbert is the author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change and the international best-seller The Sixth Extinction, for which she won the Pulitzer Prize. For her work at The New Yorker, where she's been a staff writer since 1999, she has received two National Magazine Awards and the Blake-Dodd Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her latest book, Under a White Sky, was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Writing on Global Conservation. Kolbert lives in Williamstown, Massachusetts, with her husband and children. Six Ideas to Change the World We are at a critical point in the global response to climate change, and the conversation around the central issues remains complex. Amidst numerous debates and conflicting narratives, public discourse runs the risk of information overload, at a time when urgent action is necessary, at both an individual and collective level. This curated series of live online events, in partnership with Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust, offers a clearer path, spotlighting the most compelling, important and hard-hitting work being published today — the six ideas that will shape the future of our planet. Tune in each month to hear stories and ideas we can all learn from. Whether it's advice on changing diets, or solutions to the world's water crisis, these conversations will suggest a blueprint for what we must do in the years ahead. Each event will feature the author of a recent work, in conversation with an expert host about the most important issues and takeaways. Audiences will also have the chance to submit questions. The recordings of previous events in the series are available to view on 5x15's Youtube channel. With thanks for your generous support for 5x15's online series.

Today's episode features an interview with Pulitzer prize winning journalist and author, Elizabeth Kolbert. Elizabeth has been reporting on the climate crisis for several decades, and her book “The Sixth Extinction” brought her enormous critical acclaim. Her most recent book, “Under a White Sky”, explores the nature of the future, analyzing how humans have, and will continue to change the planet and its ecosystems in response to our rapidly changing climate. In the book, she explores controversial ideas such as carbon capture technologies and atmospheric geoengineering. My inspiration for reaching out to Elizabeth Kolbert for this interview came from fellow Wild Lens Collective filmmaker, Kristin Tieche. Kristin has been directing a feature documentary about bats and the threat of white-nose syndrome for almost five years now, and her inspiration for initiating the project came from an article that she read back in 2009 written by none other than Elizabeth Kolbert. Kolbert's article about a mysterious die-off of bats in a cave in upstate New York eventually became a key component of her book, “The Sixth Extinction”, and it also raised a warning for bat populations across North America, which have continued to be decimated by the introduction of the fungal blight called white-nose syndrome.So when Kristin explained this connection to me and suggested that we reach out to Elizabeth Kolbert for a podcast interview, I grabbed a copy of her latest book, “Under a White Sky”, and started reading. The book is exceptional and terrifying. It paints a picture of our future in which our human society will be forced to make some very difficult decisions, and in which the best case scenario still most likely involves geoengineering. On the one hand, it showcases some fascinating cases of human ingenuity, and on the other hand, it shows how our ingenuity can spiral out of control and cause unforeseen problems that have no easy solutions. As you'll hear while you listen, Elizabeth does not shy away from the truth, even when it gets ugly, and her bluntness actually feels like a breath of fresh air. It was a true honor for both Kristin and myself to have this opportunity to speak with such an influential journalist and author.-Matt PodolskyResources:Elizabeth Kolbert's New Yorker staff profileClimate Change from A to Z - New Yorker article mentioned in the interviewMore information about Elizabeth Kolbert's most recent book, “Under a White Sky” This is a public episode.

Met uitzicht op de lokale Jaguars zijn we te gast aan de Plantage Middenlaan. Maar we zijn hier niet om aapjes te kijken. We gaan het vandaag hebben over Carl Linnaeus, Charles Darwin en de herberg Blauw Jan. Dat doen we niet met z'n tweeën, we zitten namelijk aan tafel met Hans Mulder. Hij is conservator bij de Allard Pierson Artis Bibliotheek. Mulder schreef het boek 'De Ontdekking van de Natuur', wat werd bekroond met de Jan Wolkersprijs. Leuk die natuur, maar hoe is die eigenlijk ontdekt? Daar gaan we vandaag achter komen. Meer lezen?: - H. Mulder, De Ontdekking van de Natuur (2021). - E. Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction (2014). - J. Lovelock, Novascene (2019). - N. Peeters, Flora Batava (2023).

We chat with building contractor and author Dan Kolbert about the need for - not only housing - but quality housing and the importance of Building Science. We discuss how cost and quality often don't go hand-in-hand, the problems with housing as a source of wealth, the mental health benefits (or not) of building a house, McMansions and the difference between a House vs a Home. We touch on the willful denial surrounding climate change and the perverse incentives across industries, the need for an 'adaptive' house and Dan offers some tips/advice about what to think about if you are buying a home.

In this episode of the Retrofit Podcast, host Ryan Shanahan talks with Dan Kolbert, owner of Kolbert Building, where he focuses on good design and controlling heat, weather, moisture, and drafts to craft homes that'll last generations. He's also a co-author of the Pretty Good House book and a proponent of BS + Beer. Ryan and Dan get into why it's important to monitor your projects, preferred wall assemblies, problems with heat pumps, retrofitting HRVs, and so much more.

For several years, in southern Maine, a small group of building professionals have been getting together monthly to discuss building science.     Many topics are brought up for discussion: high performance windows, venting cathedral ceilings, moisture migration in wall assemblies, slab on grade details, etc. The conversation is informal and roams a bit.   At one of those meetings, one of my guests today, builder, Dan Kolbert, expressed frustration with the status quo, and even more frustration with the various rating systems that had him jumping through many hoops to prove that his work was in fact “green” and energy efficient.     Some find these systems costly in time and money and doing little to advance the project. Rather they are simply certifying them. So Dan simply stated, “I just want to build a pretty good house.”   That's where this story begins….   https://www.finehomebuilding.com/project-guides/insulation/is-a-pretty-good-house-good-enough   https://www.thebsandbeershow.com/   https://www.prettygoodhouse.org/   https://www.prettygoodhouse.org/pgh-20 This episode was recorded in December 2022.

Over the last couple of years, we've all been in a virtual meeting and probably felt a bit lost or disengaged from the conversation.

Last week, after more than a year of drama and deal-cutting, the Senate passed a complicated piece of legislation called the Inflation Reduction Act. Its name notwithstanding,  it's being celebrated as the most important piece of climate legislation in the history of this country. And that is “a pretty low bar,” the staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert tells David Remnick, “because they've never really passed a piece of legislation on climate change.” While far smaller than the proposed Build Back Better legislation, Kolbert says, the bill includes significant tax credits that will incentivize the adoption of lower-carbon technologies. But the name of the bill, which seems to recognize that the mass of voters care more about the price of oil than a habitable planet, suggests that the political headwinds have not slackened. “George Bush famously said back in the early nineties [that] our way of life is not up for negotiation,” Kolbert notes. “Well… our way of life may not be compatible with dealing with climate change.” She mentions the recent devastating floods in Kentucky, a red state; “Is Kentucky now going to go vote for people who are firmly committed to climate action? I sadly don't expect that to happen.”   Kolbert is the author of books including “The Sixth Extinction” and “Under a White Sky.”

Human rights lawyers and authors of the book "Controlling Women: What We Must Do Now to Protect Reproductive Freedom" Julie F. Kay and Kathryn Kolbert join Zerlina on the show to discuss our next steps in protecting reproductive rights. Julie F. Kay helped lay the groundwork for the legalization of abortion in Ireland through the first direct challenge to the country's absolute ban on abortion before the European Court of Human Rights. Julie began her legal career at the Center for Reproductive Rights and has spent the ensuing decades developing innovative legal and policy initiatives to advance gender equality and religious freedom.Kathryn Kolbert made her second appearance before the Supreme Court in 1992, arguing Planned Parenthood v. Casey. She co-founded the Center for Reproductive Rights. She founded NPR's Justice Talking and the Athena Center for Leadership at Barnard College.

The new medicine for women is here—I'm back with a new season full of taboo-busting conversations about all things women's health. As a woman in her wisdom years, I'm bringing together the four decades of work I've done as a midwife, herbalist, and MD, to share tools, knowledge, ideas, and insights with you all.     Today's episode could not have come at a more pressing time in history with the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. I am joined by Kathryn Kolbert and Julie Kay, the authors of Controlling Women: What We Must Do NOW to Save Reproductive Freedom, for a critical conversation surrounding reproductive rights, abortion activism, and the American judicial system. Kolbert and Kay have together dedicated decades of their careers to litigating, lobbying, and plotting for the expansion of abortion rights. In the words of Joan Baez, "Action is the antidote to despair."    We discuss:    Why abortion became a potent and polarized political issue  How the overturning of Roe affects maternal care and decisional autonomy  The significant physical and emotional risks associated with lack of access to abortions   How you can become active in making change at a personal and local level      Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in to your body, yourself, and this podcast! Please share the love by sending this to someone in your life who could benefit from the kinds of things we talk about in this space.

Kathryn Kolbert, The Lawyer Who Argued Planned Parenthood v Casey Before the Supreme Court With Host Richard Levick of LEVICK: Kathryn Kolbert, who has a long and distinguished career advancing women's rights, spoke with host Richard Levick of LEVICK about her career and the backsliding of women's rights. Ms. Kolbert, who is the former CEO of People for the American Way and the creator and executive producer of NPR's Justice Talking, discussed the Planned Parenthood case, a Pennsylvania law that required spousal awareness prior to obtaining an abortion and was found invalid under the Fourteenth Amendment because it created an undue burden on married women seeking an abortion; the Dobbs leak and the likely overturning of Roe v Wade; and the political reality that abortion rights will no longer be found in the courts but only through political action.

On this episode of Free Range, Mike Livermore speaks with Elizabeth Kolbert. Kolbert is a writer at The New Yorker, as well as the author of several books, including The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History, for which she won a Pulitzer Prize in 2015. Her most recent book, Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future, was published in 2021. The podcast begins with Kolbert discussing how journalism, as a profession, has changed over the course of her career. While praising the accessibility that the internet has provided journalists, Kolbert also laments the way it has profoundly altered the industry's economic model, resulting in less funding being made available for in-depth reporting. She also warns that one of the unexpected byproducts of the freedom of information has been the freedom of disinformation. This has been exacerbated by changes in how journalists do their job in the internet age, where there is far less personal interaction between writers and the individuals they are writing about. Kolbert explains that the type of long-form journalism she specializes in still requires a serious investment, and this has led to new funding options such as non-profit journalism organizations. (:40 – 7:52) The conversation then shifts to Kolbert's new book, which Livermore describes as a book about unintended consequences and tragic choices in relation to the environment. One example in Under a White Sky is gene drive technology, which Kolbert explains are biological mechanisms that preferentially pass down genetic material from generation to generation. Currently there is an effort to create synthetic gene drives that would allow for the suppression of malaria in mosquitoes. Given its powerful implications, this technology is controversial, and some have compared it to the invention of the atom bomb in the sense that our scientific ability has exceeded the limits of our control. Along those lines, Kolbert states that the goal is to eventually release these modified mosquitoes in regions of Africa with high malaria transmission, but presently there is significant worry about the unintended consequences of that action. (8:13 – 18:02) This leads to an extended conversation about geo-engineering, another technology that Kolbert examines in her book. Like gene drives, geo-engineering is a technology that, hypothetically, would allow humanity to control the environment. Kolbert talks about the two primary forms of geo-engineering – removing carbon from the atmosphere and reflecting solar activity away from the earth. She emphasizes that although we do not have the capacity to remove carbon from the atmosphere at a massive commercial scale, most carbon neutrality plans place great weight on the ability to commercialize that technology in the near future. The other alternative – blocking sunlight from entering the atmosphere — poses its own set of problems, from altered weather patterns to a change in the color of the sky. Kolbert also makes the point that no amount of geo-engineering will counterbalance continued carbon emissions, and the challenges associated with controlling emissions are only increasing as the world becomes more unstable. (18:10 – 29:53) The podcast concludes with Kolbert offering insight into how she remains motivated to report on material that is often quite depressing to consider (29:55 – 31:55). Professor Michael Livermore is the Edward F. Howrey Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. He is also the Director of the Program in Law, Communities and the Environment (PLACE), an interdisciplinary program based at UVA Law that examines the intersection of legal, environmental, and social concerns.

Almost every man I know has benefited from a woman's right to choose. And in this time, we need them to be louder than ever. Control is not an option. Which is why I'm bringing Kathryn “Kitty” Kolbert on to talk about the data, action and tools that we need to equip ourselves with to support women's reproductive rights. What makes Kathryn's voice so powerful is manyfold, but one in particular is her legacy as the attorney who co-founded the Center for Reproductive Rights and argued Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the historic 1992 Supreme Court case that saved Roe v. Wade. She's also the co-author of “Controlling Women: What We Must Do Now to Save Reproductive Freedom,” which I binged the day before our interview and is mandatory regardless of your pronouns. In this episode, you'll gain access to critical information on Roe v. Wade, abortion rights, what we can do collectively, and what's next, from the wisdom of someone who has literally been at the tip of the spear for 30 years and is recognized as one of the "100 Most Influential Lawyers in America”    WORKS: - Co-founder of the Center for Reproductive Rights - Co-author of “Controlling Women: What We Must Do Now to Save Reproductive Freedom” - Founder of the Athena Center for Leadership at Barnard College, which is dedicated to the advancement of women's leadership - Co-Founder of The Athena Film Festival, which celebrates extraordinary films from across the globe that tell the stories of fierce and fearless women leaders. - Creator and executive producer of NPR's “Justice Talking,” an award-winning radio program Tools You'll Get from This Episode: - Directions on how to properly support women's rights with action - Data that helps us better understand why the system is the way it is and who's most harmed along the way - Historic accounts that help equip you with the education necessary to create progress  - Big questions to ask loved ones and strangers alike in exploring your individual role in empowering leaders who support human rights BETTER with Mark Brand is produced by Pamela Rothenberg of I HEAR YOU STUDIOS and Adam Karch with Orbyt Media

In 2005, New Yorker staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert set out to answer an important question once and for all: is climate change real? Her three-part series revealed that, yes, it is real. But that didn't exactly settle the debate. Today, Kolbert is a pioneer in climate change journalism, exploring the many ways we have tried to face the consequences of our environmental actions. She speaks to us about her reporting journeys and the pressing need to fundamentally examine how we live and consume energy.
