Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Tzeporah Berman: The Problem With Ramping Up Fossil Fuel Production & Expanding Energy Consumption According to the Stockholm Resilience Centre, "Human activities have pushed Earth beyond its Safe Operating Space. The planet's natural resilience is weakening: Global warming is accelerating, (and) ecosystems are showing clear signs of degradation." In the second of four programs arising from an interview with Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, she explains that the problem is multifaceted, but two critical areas must be addressed: fossil fuel use and our rapidly expanding energy consumption. The Greatest Cause of Premature Death Tzeporah Berman: “My research makes it very clear to me that fossil fuel use and production is the greatest cause of premature death on the planet and the greatest threat to the majority of the world's ecosystems.” Cortes Currents: “Prove it to me.” Tzeporah Berman: “Approximately eight million people die every year due to air pollution. Fossil fuels are the majority of that air pollution. Last year, the Lancet Countdown report said that, on average, five million people are dying every year from air pollution due to fossil fuels alone. “When you start adding climate impacts and deaths, the numbers skyrocket. We know now that one person is dying every minute on this planet due to lethal heat, and the primary cause of the dramatic increase in lethal heat is climate change. “Eighty-six percent of the carbon emissions currently trapped in our atmosphere — creating almost like a sweltering blanket around the Earth and causing climate change — come from three things: oil, gas, and coal.” Why Aren't Renewables Reducing Global Emissions Faster? Cortes Currents: “Given that renewables are the fastest-growing energy sector, why aren't we seeing more of an impact in terms of global emissions?” Tzeporah Berman: “We're not seeing more of an impact in terms of global emissions even though investment in renewable energy today is double the investment in fossil fuels. Last year, there was $2 trillion invested in renewables and $1 trillion invested in fossil fuels. “We're seeing dramatic growth in renewable energy, but we are also seeing continued growth in carbon pollution, emissions, and fossil fuel infrastructure. We can't solve this just by building the good stuff. We have to stop building the bad stuff too. “What we often see is, for example, Mark Carney, our prime minister, saying, ‘We're still going to move toward electrification. We're going to eventually have a low-carbon economy by building more renewable energy and electrification.' “You hear that a lot. That's good — we need that infrastructure — but no one ever phased something out by building more of it, and that's what we're doing today. “Our country has committed internationally. In Dubai, at the climate change negotiations, 190 countries said, ‘Yes, we know we need to phase out fossil fuels, and that's a priority.' Now we're saying we're going to build more of them.”

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I'm joined by Professor Sonja Ayeb-Karlsson, Professor of Intersectional Justice at University College London (UCL), whose research examines coercive control, legal entrapment, institutional abuse, migration, and human rights.Together, we explore how coercive control extends beyond intimate relationships and into family court systems, why protective mothers and children often experience institutional betrayal, and how legal systems can unintentionally reinforce abuse rather than prevent it. We also discuss the Hague Convention, children's voices in family court, and why meaningful reform must begin by listening to survivors.What we cover•Coercive control beyond intimate relationships•Family court as a form of institutional abuse•The Hague Convention and international custody cases•Legal entrapment and human rights•Why children's voices are often misunderstood•Joan Meier's research on child abuse allegations•The misuse of parental alienation allegations•Why systemic reform is urgently neededWhy listenIf you're a survivor, protective parent, clinician, attorney, researcher, or advocate, this episode offers a powerful human rights perspective on coercive control and family court abuse. Professor Ayeb-Karlsson shares how research can help expose institutional failures and create meaningful change for women and children.Guest bioProfessor Sonja Ayeb-Karlsson is Professor of Intersectional Justice at University College London (UCL). Her research focuses on legal entrapment, intersectionality, coercive control, migration, human trafficking, exploitation, and mental wellbeing.She has published more than 100 academic works, including over 50 peer-reviewed articles, with more than 17,000 citations.

6月11日，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）宣布厄尔尼诺事件正式形成，并预测它会在北半球2026-2027年的冬季持续增强，有63%的概率发展成为一个极强的厄尔尼诺事件。超强厄尔尼诺叠加在气候变化加速的趋势之上，全球平均气温很有可能创下新的纪录。但厄尔尼诺的影响不仅仅是高温，而是天气系统的异常，乃至气候稳态的转换。当大家都在讨论"今夏史上最热"，有一群人已经在设法应对每一个酷暑和寒冬。很多时候，他们已经在用自己的生活经验与实践智慧，走在气候适应的前列，只是很少被气候讨论所看见。本期节目带来两位自然之友玲珑计划伙伴的一线行动：- 陈畅，广东省规划院工程师、玲珑计划四期伙伴，长期关注适老环境规划建设。她深入重庆的老龄社区，在最热的三伏天走访调研，历时一年多编制了《老年社区高温应对建设指南》，并在家乡贵阳落地了"1平方米微气候疗愈花园"。- 张温，春蚕社会工作服务中心气候+残障项目“气轮计划”负责人、玲珑计划五期伙伴，关注气候变化下的肢体残障群体。她从2023年起深入西安残障自组织，访谈了数十位残障伙伴，记录他们在高温、寒潮下的真实处境与应对智慧。本期节目揭示了老龄社区与残障伙伴这两个概念背后的复杂性——在统一的“脆弱”标签之下，不同的身体、生活状态，会造成不一样的风险和困境。在此基础上，我们想从他们的经验出发，重新理解什么是气候适应：它不是简单的“多喝水、少出门、开空调”，也不是让个体变得更能忍耐，而是社区、城市、公共服务和社会支持系统能否更早看见那些最先受到影响的人，并和他们一起设计更安全、更有尊严的生活方式。听完这一期，你可能在下一次地铁换乘高峰里，留意到那位等了四五趟电梯、仍然没能上去的轮椅用户；也可能会开始思考，从“残障群体”到“有碍群体”，一个更尊重的称谓，是否也在提醒我们重新看见彼此的处境。也许，那就是气候韧性建设最小的起点。面对气候变化，如果你也有行动起来的想法，就是自然之友玲珑计划正在寻找的目标。玲珑计划将通过资金资助、能力建设、传播支持与社群陪伴，帮助你把好点子变成真实、落地的行动。玲珑计划第七期招募截止日期为8月5日，报名链接：https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/F-WuEzhKsQ-Y164L53OJyQ【本期剧透】03:43 气候风险之下的不平等10:55 什么是老龄社区或“双老化社区”13:28 看见身边的残障伙伴（订正：在各类残疾中先天性残疾所占比例不到1/10）21:18 关于脆弱人群的讨论：不能被隐身，但也不应被标签化27:33 陈畅的玲珑项目：老龄社区调研，《老年社区高温应对建设指南》和“1平方米微气候疗愈花园”44:48 张温的玲珑项目：残障伙伴的气候健康风险与气候适应智慧55:24 玲珑计划如何帮助一个想法变成一项落地的行动69:55 包容性即通用性：一个对老年、残障人群友好的社区，就是一个对所有人友好的社区 【延伸阅读】陈畅：老年社区高温应对建设指引（西南篇）》1.0版https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Ckhg2Tr1792MOGZehL32_Q?scene=1陈畅 等 / 中外建筑：应对高温胁迫的老龄化社区热适应性规划治理框架https://kns.cnki.net/kcms2/article/abstract?v=1EB3pfwoRP7sHHTKb46IpcCXV3MHb27yqMuV_lX2wCLiBbQU9uVtxriuCcA4sB2YKbghWWAg8i1qLGIBPfh13tAMIhjH2ZVxgBEiBBVwdHMaebO1iyWIhc9jDV9aa6z_t2kpTYX0_UcVsG0_gZOvFXAh5wQgZqHpujv-uB5SkuJPWOpKqqfk4Q&uniplatform=NZKPT&captchaId=d53551da-ab6c-442d-a435-e95247468e2b中国环境：为了老年群体应对高温，她准备从社区入手 | 碳路先锋⑧https://www.cenews.com.cn/h5hjb/news/news.html?id=1494248&nav=1麦麦 / 果壳自然：他腿上十几公分的疤，可能是被轮椅烫的 https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/r_aKsjeFuvA3h4Y3l9OSAg中国环境：“脆弱”背后有智慧：他们成气候适应“先行者”|志愿有我·2025 https://www.cenews.com.cn/h5hjb/news/news.html?id=1759206&nav=1卢辉 / 一席：老人们不懂气候变化，他们只知道天气越来越热、身体越来越不舒服了 https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/eWeHUfSa15Yqrw1P4jOGvw王靖豪 / 一席：我在朋友圈里发无障碍相关的内容经常没人点赞，直到大家的父母也老了https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/AdI6kPKgUpIe4WxcSVHfhQXue A. et al. / Nature Communications: Super El Niño events drive climate regime shifts with enhanced risks under global warminghttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-66143-7IPCC：Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability - Summary for Policymakers https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_SummaryForPolicymakers.pdfXi D. et al. / Nature Medicine：Risk factors associated with heatwave mortality in Chinese adults over 65 years https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-02880-4Romanello M. et al. / The Lancet：The 2025 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(25)01919-1WHO：Heat and health fact sheet https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/climate-change-heat-and-health世界银行：世行博客 | 世界银行在广州实践基于自然的城市降温方案https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/wr3y6CrApTiuLaM9A1Yomw?scene=1不成气候 No Such Climate：自然之友 X 不成气候 【内容专题】 https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/podcast-topic/67bc61c8606e5c594088963f【声音素材】Intro: Relaxing Ballad by Alexander NakaradaOutro: Horns by Kevin MacLeod【创作团队】 嘉宾：陈畅、张温 策划：乐园 、何弦 、自然之友 主持：乐园 、何弦 后期：乐园 、何弦、一维《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 Climatenosuchclimate@gmail.com

El programa aborda un evento de running en la España vaciada, la temporada de Jacob Ingebrigtsen, consejos para corredores y el debate sobre la inteligencia artificial como entrenador personal. El espacio se centra principalmente en el informe europeo 2026 del Lancet Countdown, que revela las graves consecuencias del cambio climático para la salud. A pesar del liderazgo europeo en transición energética, el cambio climático agrava los efectos sanitarios, aumentando las muertes por calor y enfermedades infecciosas como el dengue. También impacta en fenómenos extremos como la DANA y los incendios, desalienta la actividad física y adelanta la temporada de polen. El informe subraya la inseguridad alimentaria por el encarecimiento de alimentos saludables y la disminución de espacios verdes. Los investigadores urgen a la concienciación pública, la adaptación sanitaria y la acción política para una transición rápida hacia energías limpias, destacando la vulnerabilidad de España y el sur de ...

Small islands generally did far better during the pandemic than bigger (and often richer) countries with more complex health systems. In this episode, Emily and Matt ask: what have been the longer-term effects of Covid-19 more than five years on? Have lessons have been learned for the next shock? Where can we see both improvements and things to worry about in health provision and outcomes? We welcome two global public health experts for our “Explainer”. Sophie Harman tells us why we should worry about not only the decline of multilateral health governance, but also what might be replacing it. Simon Rushton talks us through some of the longer-term effects of the pandemic on the Global South. Then, in the Big Picture, we are joined by Roannie Ng Shiu from Samoa and Aviane Auguste from St Lucia to learn why SIDS did relatively so well in the pandemic but why more prosaic health challenges – from measles to dengue and non-communicable diseases like diabetes – are of greater immediate concern. Finally, in no stupid questions, Matt and Emily ask whether small size and islandness are actually secret weapons in helping SIDS to achieve better health outcomes. LISTENER SURVEY: To help us make Small Islands, Big Picture even better, we've put together a short audience survey and would love your input. You can find the survey at this link and your feedback will help us shape future episodes, topics, and guests. If you have a moment, please fill it out: it only takes a couple of minutes would mean a lot to us. Thanks for listening and supporting the show!

Eine Mischung aus Dauerbrenner-Themen und Neuigkeiten. Im Interview sprechen wir dieses Mal mit Prof. Dr. Susanne Möbus und Prof. Dr. Oliver Razum zum Thema Public Health im Spannungsfeld von Frieden und Krieg. Anlass sind die derzeitigen politischen Entwicklungen, die beide zum Anlass genommen haben eine Podiumsdiskussion auf der Tagung der Dt. Gesellschaft für Sozialmedizin und Prävention im September zu diesem Thema zu veranstalten. Im Murks: zunächst mal ein Novum, da Claudia Czernik ihn einspricht. Aber noch viel wichtiger: das Thema. Es geht um den Lancet Countdown.

Send us a textA new report on health and climate change paints the grimmest picture yet about what's going on – not just that 2024 was the hottest year on record, but evidence that many governments have stopped even pretending to try to do anything about it.The 2025 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change finds that more than half a million people die every year from heat-related causes, up 23 percent since the 1990s. Air pollution just from wildfire smoke was linked to 154,000 deaths in 2024. And 2.5 million people die every year because of the continued burning of fossil fuels, the report says.But Dr. Tafadzwa Mabhaudhi, Professor of Climate Change, Food Systems, and Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Director of the Lancet Countdown in Africa, says it's not all bad news. Communities, people acting in groups, city governments, and others can make a difference.“We do have the power,” says Tafadzwa, who joins One World, One Health host Maggie Fox in this episode to talk about the report and what he sees for the future.African nations, especially, have the opportunity to show the way as they build cities that take advantage of clean energy, says Tafadzwa, who is also a professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, Future Africa, at the University of Pretoria in South Africa.The report finds hope in this trend, and estimates 160,000 lives are being saved annually as communities shift away from coal and enjoy cleaner air.Listen as Tafadzwa describes some of the successes in fighting climate change and what people and communities can do to encourage their governments to act.

Welcome back to another episode of The Case.Report! This month we're shaking things up a little as NCHDs Callum and Johnny work hard stabilising not just one patient, but an entire planetary ecosystem. Planet Earth has come to TCR resus in a critical condition and there's no time to waste. With toxic levels of air pollution, rising global temperatures, escalating extreme weather events, threats to global food and water security, and a rapidly closing window to act - this is a health emergency beyond any doubt. Our adult in the room this month is the outstanding Professor Hugh Montgomery - Professor of Intensive Care Medicine at University College London, Consultant in Cardiology and General Internal Medicine, Co-chair of The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change. Listen now on ⁠Spotify⁠, ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ or wherever you get your podcasts, and as always check out our Bluesky⁠,  ⁠Instagram⁠,  ⁠Facebook⁠ and ⁠X⁠ to keep updated with all things TCR.

Send us a textGovernments and corporations are “undermining our future” by supporting fossil fuels in the face of overwhelming evidence that using coal, oil, and gas is killing people, a startling new report finds.The report, from the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, finds that in 2023 alone, more than double the number of people over 65 died from excessive heat compared to the 1990s. People living in every country around the world are now threatened by the effects of climate change. It's the latest in a series of reports showing the world is marching towards disaster.“We pull our hair out every year,” Dr. Marina Romanello, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown: Tracking Progress on Health and Climate Change, tells One World, One Health. “One of the findings that shocked us the most was the enormous amount of public funding that gets poured into fossil fuels.”The report shows that oil and gas companies are making record profits and increasing production, driving up the emissions that are making the planet hotter and the weather more extreme and unpredictable.But there is hope, the report finds. More electricity than ever is being generated by clean modern renewables – up to 10.5 percent in 2021, twice as much as in 2016. And clean energy employed 13.7 million people in 2022.Listen as Dr. Romanello tells One World, One Health about the growing problems, how governments and companies are ignoring the warnings, and where hope still lies.

In this final episode of Season 4 of Cities 1.5, David has conversations with two formidable and inspiring women who are fighting to protect the health of people and the planet from Lima, Peru and New Orleans, USA. As the impacts of the climate crisis hit harder and more frequently, the effects this has on human health also multiply. It is key that urban areas plan and adapt to meet the growing challenges of temperature rise, food insecurity, migration, and more. Of course, extreme weather events often have the most catastrophic consequences for humanity, leading to mass displacement, injury, disease and death.

La nueva edición del informe del Lancet Countdown revela que, en 2023, más de 10,000 personas murieron en América Latina debido a eventos climáticos como olas de calor, inundaciones, deslizamientos de tierra, sequías y enfermedades transmitidas por vectores como el dengue y la malaria. La mayoría de las víctimas fueron adultos mayores e infantes.

Karyn Morrissey, Professor in Environment and Marine Economics, University of Galway , tells us about latest global annual indicator report from the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change.

‘We need to put the health impacts of climate change at the centre of every sector's response'. So say academics following the release of a new report of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change. Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast was Karyn Morrissey, Professor in Environment and Marine economics at University of Galway, is a contributing author to the report.

In Season 8, Episode 2, host Sarah Thorne and Jeff King, National Lead of the Engineering With Nature (EWN) Program, USACE, welcome back Dr. Christopher Lemon, a physician and Assistant Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine; Faculty Codirector of Clinical Programs with the Institute for Planetary Health; and Fellow with the Bloomberg American Health Initiative at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In Episode 1, we talked with Chris about his journey to becoming a medical doctor and an expert and thought leader in the emerging field of planetary health. In this episode, we focus on Chris's association with the Planetary Health Alliance (PHA) and how he and PHA are helping people understand and adapt to the changing conditions posed by climate change and encouraging people to take action.As an emergency physician, Chris is attuned to the need to take action. Noting the impacts of climate change—extreme heat, weather, drought, flooding, and disease—Chris contends that all these complicated situations boil down to the fact that Humanity is a part of this planet and that we will all be affected, “If you care about yourself, if you care about the health of your family and your loved ones, you need to act now because there is no question everyone is going to be impacted by climate change.”Citing The 2023 Report of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, he describes troubling trends such as heat-related deaths of adults over 65 rising by over 80% percent since the 1990s; increased frequency of heat waves and droughts in recent decades, associated with roughly 127 million more people experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity; and new locations now suitable for the transmission of deadly infections. “These impacts could be an early sign of the future that we have in store. I think we're facing a scenario where things could be potentially catastrophic, and that also means to our health.”Much of Chris's efforts in this area is through his association with the PHA, a consortium of more than 450 universities, nongovernment organizations, research institutes, and government entities from more than 75 countries around the world. Launched in 2015, Chris defines Planetary health as “a solutions-oriented transdisciplinary field and social movement focused on analyzing and addressing the impacts of human disruptions on Earth's natural systems and how that will eventually impact human health, as well as all life on Earth.” Essential to planetary health is the understanding that it's not just climate change, it's ‘everything change,' encompassing the other ways our natural systems are destabilizing due to human influence, such as biodiversity loss, pollution, land use change, water scarcity, nutrient overloading, and marine degradation.Looking to the future, Chris is excited about the growing movement toward planetary health. His call to action is for listeners go to the PHA website and become a part of the growing community. “This is not a website where you join and it's just an email that comes out every so often. This alliance is a decentralized community for all stakeholders. We would love to interact and engage with you where you stand. I bet you have a superpower and an expertise that we need in the global community right now.”For more information and resource links, please visit the EWN Podcast page on the EWN website at https://www.engineeringwithnature.org/  Jeff King at LinkedInChristopher Lemon at LinkedIn

When it gets hot, we all get a bit stroppy: think 'shouting at people on the internet' stroppy. But that's only the tip of the (melting) iceberg. Too much heat can trigger or make worse a range of mental health conditions. And what does climate change bring? More heat.  So what are the mental health implications of rising global temperatures?  Joining Dave this episode is Dr Alessandro Massazza (X / LinkedIn) - Policy Advisor for United for Global Mental Health. Ale tells Dave all about what the science has to say about the very many ways getting too hot can fry your state of mind - and why it's time to give mental health a proper seat at the climate table. Owl noises: 06:38 - Whole Body Hyperthermia as a treatment for depression - a metareview.  07:57 - I meant the wet bulb, and we didn't explain what it is. 08:38 - Schizophrenia as a key factor in heat deaths.  11:00 - more on temperature vs asylum judges. 13:31 - the links between poverty, depression and anxiety. 16:51 - a review of ambient temperature (including humidity) and mental health17:46 - the Lancet Countdown set of indicators on climate & health. 18:53 - you must read Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. it will radicalise you 20:00 - more on the relationship between sleep loss and heat. 22:26 - Looky at what trees do to cool streets down. 35:04 - We've come across hyperobjects before, like in my chat with Jonathan Rowson. 36:22 - How health framing boosts support for climate policies. 42:35 - South Australian heat warning system & mental heath. I also mentioned at the end the study I'd read about a piece in the Times that conservative voters have larger fear centres (the amygdala).

Since the start of 2024, several countries in South America have experienced a rapid increase in cases of dengue, a viral disease transmitted by the aedes aegypti mosquito. According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), this year alone at least 18 countries in the Americas have reported cases, with more than 400 deaths. In Peru, at the end of February, the government declared an emergency in 20 districts, setting up makeshift clinics and sending additional financial and human resources to affected areas. Dr. Andrés (Willy) Lescano, who leads the Emerging Infections and Climate Change Research Unit at Cayetano Heredia University in Lima, Peru and was one of the co-authors of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change 2022 report on South America, explains why it has been so challenging to control aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the region, the extent to which urbanization, global warming, and the el Niño phenomenon are driving the current outbreaks, and steps that can be taken to better prepare the health sector for future crises associated with a changing climate.

The intersection of environmental and health endeavors is epitomized by two significant initiatives: The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change Report and COP28. The Lancet Countdown serves as a vital analysis, comparable to the championship of Health and Climate Change impact assessments. It meticulously connects the dots between health and climate, providing evidence-based science crucial for understanding the consequences of climate change on your health. Recognizing the interdependence of human health and the planet, this report serves as an indispensable guide for individuals navigating the era of climate change.  COP28, the recent climate summit in Dubai, stands as a beacon of global collaboration to address the climate crisis. Leaders worldwide gathered to strategize on cleaner energy sources, combat air pollution, and support vulnerable nations grappling with climate challenges.   Understanding these initiatives is crucial for individuals navigating the complexities of daily life amidst climate change repercussions. The Lancet Countdown informs about the health impacts, urging individuals to recognize the tangible effects already happening. COP28, on the other hand, symbolizes global unity and commitment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual actions and international efforts. Both endeavors underscore the urgency for informed choices, local engagement, and global cooperation to secure a healthier planet and better quality of life for current and future generations.  Host Bernice Butler talks with Jodi Sherman, Dave McGlinchey and Liz Willets to unpack and explore the everyday impacts of  science based reporting and planning for our future by local and world leaders. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healthy-radio/support

Welcome to the Plant-Based Canada Podcast. In this episode we are joined by a Toronto-based hospitalist and emergency physician, Dr. Teela Johnson.  Dr. Teela Johnson MSc, MD, CCFP-EM is a hospitalist and emergency room physician with a keen interest in the intersection of health, nutrition, and the climate-- and how they relate to equity issues.  Through her work as a member of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment Agri-Food Working Group and as a Board Director of the climate policy think tank Canadians for Responsible Food Policy, she brings to bear the extensive scientific evidence on how a transition to a plant-based food system can prevent and treat chronic disease, and simultaneously curtail the most detrimental greenhouse gas emissions that are propelling the climate crisis, while also giving voice and restoration to groups systematically oppressed across these intersecting realms. In this episode we discuss:Dr. Johnson's medical practiceCanadian Association of Physicians for the Environment Agri-Food Working GroupClimate change impacts, targets,  and recommendationsParis Agreement on Climate ChangeCanadians for Responsible Food PolicyImpact of transitioning to a plant-based food systemFuture research and actionsAdvice to health professionals / the publicEpisode Resources:Canadians for Responsible Food Policy: https://responsiblefoodpolicy.ca/ Lancet Countdown: https://cape.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Lancet-Countdown-Policy-Brief-Canada_ENG.pdfConsultation on the future of competition policy in Canada: https://cape.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/CompetitionActConsultation_CQDE_CAPE_EQT_ISED.pdfRecommendations from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment for Amendments to Bill C-12, the Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act: https://cape.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/CAPE-C-12-briefing-note-EN-final.pdf Paris Agreement on Climate Change: https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement Plant-Based Canada's Socials:Instagram: @plantbasedcanadaorgFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/plantbasedcanadaorg/Website: https://www.plantbasedcanada.org/X/Twitter: @PBC_orgThank you for tuning in!

Climate change is threatening human health across the globe. Extreme weather events like wildfires and heat waves are causing immediate and long-term health risks, with sometimes deadly results. According to this year's Lancet Countdown report, which tracks the effects of climate change on human health, the impacts are getting worse.  To address this growing crisis, the recent UN Conference on Climate Change, or COP28, featured its first ever Health Day. Discussions there established the issue as a vital factor in climate negotiations. But the final agreement from the climate talks does not include the phasing out of fossil fuels, which is language many health experts were hoping to see included.  So, how do researchers track the connection between climate change and human health? What are the key indicators? And what do they warn will be the consequences of continuing to burn fossil fuels?  This week host Bill Loveless talks with Dr. Marina Romanello about the intersection of health and climate change.  Marina is the executive director of the Lancet Countdown, and a climate change and health researcher at University College London. She has also carried out research in the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, and the Francis Crick Institute. From 2020-2021, Marina helped England's National Health System develop net-zero commitments.

This year's U.N. Climate Conference has already been a historic one in the nearly 30-year timespan of the COP process because it's the first time there's been a day dedicated to the linkages between climate change and health. Health advocates are drawing attention to the growing public health emergency surrounding the burning of fossil fuels, especially in the wake of controversial comments made by COP 28 President Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber in which he said there is “no science” that says phasing out fossil fuels is necessary to keep global warming in check. “Fossil fuel phase-out is the most effective and the most important public health intervention of our times,” said Marina Romanello, executive director of the Lancet Countdown on climate change and health. Romanello joined Devex global health reporter Jenny Lei Ravelo on the ground at COP 28 for the latest episode of the Climate + podcast. “We heard from Dr. al-Jaber talking that there's no scientific evidence — that's absolute nonsense,” Romanello said. “There's more than enough scientific evidence showing us that we absolutely are in trouble, that we absolutely must phase out fossil fuels.” The Climate + podcast is supported by the World Bank.

The latest Lancet Countdown report details the dire consequences of rising temperatures and increasing energy emissions. Host Ben Leonard talks with POLITICO EU health care reporter Ashleigh Furlong about the potential catastrophic threats climate change poses to human health.  

Today's Headlines: In recent events, the Israeli military's precise operation targeted Hamas within Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital, causing casualties and displacements. US intelligence confirmed the military use of hospitals, including Al-Shifa, by both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad for activities and holding hostages. Shifting to domestic affairs, the House voted to prevent a government shutdown, approving a funding resolution until mid-January and early February for specific departments. Capitol tensions escalated with a confrontation between Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, highlighting internal strife. Additionally, the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change report warned of a projected 370% increase in heat-related deaths by mid-century without effective government intervention, emphasizing the urgency of climate action. Concluding the update, Pope Francis removed Bishop Joseph Strickland, notable for his alignment with MAGA and opposition to Church inclusivity, following a formal Vatican investigation, although specific details remain undisclosed.

Sign up today:Friends, for family reasons and also because of my own mental exhaustion I will be taking a longer than usual break from the newsletter for this year's Thanksgiving holiday. The newsletter will be going quiet following Thursday's roundup and will return to our regular schedule on Tuesday, November 28. As I've written before here I can always tell when it's time for me to take a bit of a break from the newsletter and the truth is we probably passed that point around three or four weeks ago so I'm running on fumes. Thanks for reading and for supporting this venture!TODAY IN HISTORYNovember 14, 1965: The Battle of Ia Drang, the first major engagement between the United States and the North Vietnamese Army, begins. It ended on November 18 with both sides claiming victory, though the NVA's ability to fight the much better armed US Army to a draw was a boost to their morale and probably the battle's most important effect.November 14, 2001: Fighters with the Northern Alliance rebel coalition enter and occupy the city of Kabul, marking the end of the US war in Afghanista—just kidding.

Without any serious government pressure to force them to invest in genuinely renewable technologies, these firms are able to do things like, say, classify natural gas development as a “green” investment. That's absurd, of course, but who's counting?The main problem with these plans has long been, and continues to be, the fact that fossil fuel companies exempt the products they sell when assessing their progress toward “net zero” carbon emissions. Firms only account for “Scope 1” emissions, which are their direct carbon outputs, and “Scope 2” emissions, the indirect output that results from their production process. The emissions that ensue when people burn the products they sell are considered “Scope 3” and energy firms disavow any responsibility for them. Like tobacco companies, they argue that what the customer does with their products is the customer's business, not theirs. Maybe people just want to buy a barrel of oil and place it in their foyer as a conversation piece or put it to some other use that doesn't emit carbon. Who's to say?MIDDLE EASTISRAEL-PALESTINEEarly Wednesday morning Israeli forces began what they called “a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa hospital” involving “medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians.” There are hundreds of patients and thousands of other people who have been trapped in the hospital by the IDF and the chances that “no harm” will come to any of them in the next several hours are probably slim. Israeli officials have been insisting that Hamas's lair is located underneath the hospital but at this point it's too soon to know if that's the target or if this is a more limited operation. This is a developing story so there's not much more I can say about it at this time.What I can say is that the Biden administration gave a green light to this operation earlier in the day, when White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the administration has “independent intelligence” (which is code for “we didn't get this from the IDF”) that “Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip — including Al-Shifa — and tunnels underneath them to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages.” According to Kirby this intelligence shows that the militant groups have a “command and control” center in Shifa and “have stored weapons there.” Kirby insisted that that the administration was not endorsing an Israeli attack on the hospital, but anybody with ears to hear or eyes to read what he said should have no doubt as to what the intent was.I wrote everything below prior to news of the Israeli assault breaking so some of it might no longer be relevant but I think most of it still is:Gazan health authorities said on Tuesday that some 40 patients at Shifa—three of them babies—have died since that facility ran out of generator fuel on Saturday. Without electricity the hospital cannot maintain its incubator units and so there are now 36 newborns who are at critical risk. With the IDF surrounding the hospital it's also become impossible to transfer the dead to a cemetery, so personnel are planning to bury some 120 bodies in a mass grave on site. Gazan officials have proposed evacuating the facility under the auspices of the Red Cross/Red Crescent and sending its remaining patients to Egypt but there had been no movement on that front at time of writing. The Israeli government has apparently offered to send the hospitals more incubators, a fascinating attempt at a humanitarian gesture that would be completely pointless because the problem isn't the incubators, it's the electricity.In other news:* David Ignatius at The Washington Post reported (I use that term loosely) on Monday that “Israel and Hamas are close to a hostage deal.” With the caveat that if David Ignatius told me the sky was blue I'd glance out the window to double check, the terms he reported are that Hamas would release (or facilitate the release) of the women and children that it and other Gazan militant groups took hostage during their October 7 rampage through southern Israel. This would be done in stages and be matched by the release of Palestinian women and children being held by Israeli authorities. It would also involve a ceasefire of unspecified duration but “perhaps five days” according to Ignatius. The ceasefire could allow some time to address humanitarian issues in Gaza though I don't know what that would entail and whatever it was would almost certainly be inadequate.* Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with International Committee of the Red Cross President Mirjana Spoljaric Egger on Tuesday and later told reporters that the ICRC has had no access to the aforementioned hostages. It's highly unlikely that the Israelis would agree to anything involving hostages without at least proof of life, so this could be a big sticking point with respect to the potential prisoner deal outlined above. Families of the hostages, meanwhile, are marching from Tel Aviv to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem to pressure him to take some action to secure the hostages' release.* Israeli occupation forces killed at least eight Palestinians in the West Bank on Tuesday, seven of them in Tulkarm. The IDF carried out a drone strike in that city, an occurrence that's still relatively rare in the West Bank though it's certainly become more common over the past year and in particular the past month.* Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich issued a statement on Tuesday endorsing what he laughably termed the “voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world.” I guess “leave or die” is a choice, right? A couple of Israeli politicians floated this idea on Monday in a Wall Street Journal editorial that was less a serious proposal than a written middle finger to Western critics of the Israeli military campaign. That piece didn't go into extensive detail about what a mass relocation would look like—again, it wasn't meant as a serious proposal—but Smotrich's intent is much easier to guess, and that's the permanent ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the relocation of its population as far away from Israel as possible. Smotrich, whose ministerial brief also includes running the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories office, isn't part of Netanyahu's “war cabinet” but that doesn't mean he's completely lacking in influence.* The US and UK governments on Tuesday announced new sanctions targeting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad members along with a Lebanese entity that allegedly facilitates money transfers from Iran to Gazan militant groups. This is the third round of sanctions the Biden administration has imposed since October 7. Also on Tuesday, over 400 employees of the Biden administration sent a joint letter to their boss, Joe Biden, expressing opposition to the administration's approach to the Gaza conflict.YEMENHouthi rebels say they fired another barrage of missiles toward Israel on Tuesday. There's no confirmation of this, though the IDF did say that its air defenses downed a single missile near Eilat that we can probably assume was of Houthi provenance. The leader of Yemen's Houthi movement, Abdulmalik al-Houthi, delivered a speech on Tuesday pledging that his rebel fighters would continue attacking Israel. In particular, Houthi suggested that they could target Israeli commercial vessels in the Red Sea, which would certainly be an easier target for them than Israel itself.IRAQA Turkish drone strike killed two people, both allegedly members of the Sinjar Resistance Units militia, in northern Iraq's Nineveh province on Monday evening. The Sinjar militia was formed in 2014 with assistance from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and is still allied with that group, which makes its personnel potential targets for the Turkish military.Elsewhere, the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court removed two members of the Iraqi parliament on Tuesday, one of whom just happened to be speaker Mohammed al-Halbusi. It's not clear why, though another MP named Laith al-Dulaimi had reportedly sued Halbusi alleging that the speaker forged Dulaimi's name on a resignation letter. Dulaimi was, as it happens, the other MP who had his term ended by the court (I assume that's not a coincidence). The ruling created a potential political crisis for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaʿ al-Sudani. As speaker, Halbusi was Iraq's leading Sunni Arab politician, and his support was important to Sudani's government. Three members of his Progress Party quit their cabinet posts after the court ruling and it remains to be seen how that will impact Sudani's position.ASIAAFGHANISTANAfghan Commerce Minister Haji Nooruddin Azizi apparently visited Pakistan this week, where—according to the Afghan government—he pressed Pakistani Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani on the issue of all those Afghan migrants the Pakistani government is presently deporting. Specifically it sounds like Azizi raised the issue of allowing deportees to at least take some of their money and/or possessions to Afghanistan with them. Deportees are currently arriving with nothing and are being housed in what are effectively refugee camps—leaving aside the incongruity of being a “refugee” in one's home country—on the Afghan side of the border.MYANMARReports on Monday only hinted at some new fighting in western Myanmar's Chin state, but as more details are emerging the situation there sounds pretty serious. According to the Chin National Front, rebel fighters had by the end of the day seized two Myanmar military outposts and were working to seize control of the Myanmar-Indian border. According to Indian media the fighting has sent some 2000 people streaming across that border to escape. In neighboring Rakhine state, the rebel Arakan Army has also been seizing military outposts and authorities have imposed a curfew in the state capital, Sittwe, as a result. Rebel factions across Myanmar have launched new offensives in recent weeks, starting with the “1027” (for October 27) operations by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army in Shan state. Myanmar's ruling junta is clearly struggling to mount a response.CHINAJoe Biden told reporters on Tuesday that his main goal in meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco this week is to restore “normal” communications between their governments. In particular this would involve a return to regular military-to-military contacts, something Beijing ended in the wake of former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last year. Any prospect of resuming those contacts was complicated by the fact that former Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu was under US sanction. But as he's no longer defense minister that complication is no longer an issue.AFRICALIBERIALiberian voters turned out on Tuesday for the second round of that country's presidential election, pitting incumbent George Weah against Joseph Boakai. Both candidates finished with just under 44 percent of the vote in last month's first round. Such a close finish might augur poorly for the incumbent in a head to head matchup, though that's just one of many factors that could sway this vote in either direction. Polls have closed in that contest but I have yet to see anything by way of preliminary or partial results.MALIMali's ruling junta says its security forces have seized control over the northern town of Kidal after battling with rebels in that region for several days. The Malian military and mercenary auxiliaries marched on Kidal after United Nations peacekeepers vacated the region as part of their ongoing withdrawal from Mali. Kidal has been a rebel stronghold since the initial northern Mali uprising in 2012 and government control there has been nebulous at best since then. There's been no comment as far as I know from the rebels and it's unclear what their disposition is at this point.ETHIOPIAAccording to Addis Standard, Fano militia fighters attacked a predominantly Oromo community in Ethiopia's Amhara region last week, killing at least 25 people and displacing some 3000 into the Oromia region. The Fano militia is still battling the Ethiopian government but Amhara paramilitary groups have also made a pastime of preying on ethnic Oromo communities (likewise, Oromo militias have preyed on ethnic Amhara). In this case they apparently demanded grain from the community and attacked after residents refused to comply.On a more upbeat note, the US Agency for International Development is reportedly planning to resume food distribution across Ethiopia next month under a “one-year trial period.” The agency suspended its Ethiopian food program earlier this year amid allegations that the aid was being diverted. It resumed providing food aid to Ethiopian refugees last month and is now planning to spend the next year testing whether procedural changes adopted by aid groups and the Ethiopian government are enough to stop that alleged diversion. Solid data is hard to come by but it's possible that hundreds or thousands of Ethiopians have died because of the decision (which the UN World Food Program joined) to suspend food aid.DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGOThe death toll from Sunday's Allied Democratic Forces attack on a village in the eastern DRC's North Kivu province has risen to 33, according to provincial officials. ADF fighters are also believed to have been responsible for attacking a village in neighboring Ituri province on Tuesday, killing at least 11 people.EUROPERUSSIAVladimir Putin signed a new law on Tuesday that permits elections to be held even in parts of Russia that are under martial law. This apparently clears the way for the portions of Ukraine that Moscow claims to have annexed to participate in next year's presidential election. The effect will be to try to stitch those regions a little more tightly to Russia and complicate any possible return to Ukrainian authority.UKRAINEThe European Union promised back in March to supply the Ukrainian military with 1 million 155 mm artillery shells within 12 months. You'll never guess how that went. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told a meeting of EU defense ministers on Tuesday that the bloc isn't going to fulfill its commitment and even went so far as to criticize the fact that it was made in the first place. The will was apparently there, but EU member states still don't have the collective capacity to churn out that many shells that quickly. The effort has apparently sparked a boost in production capacity but not enough to meet the 12 month deadline.SWEDENSweden's NATO accession may be moving slightly forward, as the Turkish parliament's foreign affairs committee will take up the issue on Thursday. It's been about three weeks since Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan submitted Sweden's accession to parliament and it should be clear by now that the folks in Ankara are in no particular hurry to work their way through that process. There may be some impetus on the part of other NATO members to have the issue resolved in time for the alliance foreign ministers summit on November 28, but Erdoğan has proven himself to be fairly impervious to that sort of pressure in the past.AMERICASUNITED STATESFinally, TomDispatch's William Hartung wonders whether the “Arsenal of Democracy” really cares all that much about the “democracy” part:The list of major human rights abusers that receive U.S.-supplied weaponry is long and includes (but isn't faintly limited to) Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Turkey, Nigeria, and the Philippines. Such sales can have devastating human consequences. They also support regimes that all too often destabilize their regions and risk embroiling the United States directly in conflicts.U.S.-supplied arms also far too regularly fall into the hands of Washington's adversaries. As an example consider the way the UAE transferred small arms and armored vehicles produced by American weapons makers to extremist militias in Yemen, with no apparent consequences, even though such acts clearly violated American arms export laws. Sometimes, recipients of such weaponry even end up fighting each other, as when Turkey used U.S.-supplied F-16s in 2019 to bomb U.S.-backed Syrian forces involved in the fight against Islamic State terrorists.Such examples underscore the need to scrutinize U.S. arms exports far more carefully. Instead, the arms industry has promoted an increasingly “streamlined” process of approval of such weapons sales, campaigning for numerous measures that would make it even easier to arm foreign regimes regardless of their human-rights records or support for the interests Washington theoretically promotes. These have included an “Export Control Reform Initiative” heavily promoted by the industry during the Obama and Trump administrations that ended up ensuring a further relaxation of scrutiny over firearms exports. It has, in fact, eased the way for sales that, in the future, could put U.S.-produced weaponry in the hands of tyrants, terrorists, and criminal organizations.Now, the industry is promoting efforts to get weapons out the door ever more quickly through “reforms” to the Foreign Military Sales program in which the Pentagon essentially serves as an arms broker between those weapons corporations and foreign governments.Thanks for reading!

Which papers are telling the truth? And which are giving inches to climate skeptics?In this episode, Lucy McAllister, Assistant Professor in Environmental Studies at Denison University, explains how journalism's obsession with "balance" causes bias in climate reporting. She walks us through new research which shows how climate coverage accuracy has improved since the initial findings in 2004, but that there is still a significant divide between left-leaning and right-wing papers, specifically those owned by Rupert Murdoch.She also reveals how the tactics of muddling the discourse has become more sophisticated, with column inches now being given to climate skeptics or discourses of delays. Combatting this is critical, Lucy says, pointing to solutions journalism as critical in the fight to "reframe" narratives to empower communities around the world.“We're seeing media more accurately representing the science on climate change—climate change is happening, it's caused by humans. Now we're seeing in terms of climate action that climate skeptics, deniers, or discourses of delay, are being given more space in the news article, more power than like a relevant climate expert or policymaker.“So they're getting the science right but then when they're talking about the actual solution and action moving forward, we're still seeing this problematic balance issue where one side is being favored.”Referenced Papers/Articles:* Balance as Bias: global warming and the US prestige press* Balance as bias, resolute on the retreat?

Prior to this position, she worked at the Technical University of Munich, Babson College, and Boston College. Lucy's interdisciplinary research focuses on the framing of overlapping global environmental injustices—climate change and hazardous waste—and the disproportionate impact on minorities, women, children, future generations, and other stigmatized groups. Broadly, her research explores how we communicate and perceive social harms and environmental injustices, and therefore informs work on inclusive, interdisciplinary solutions. She has published research in several outlets, such as Environmental Research Letters, The Lancet, The Lancet Planetary Health, Health and Human Rights, Science and Engineering Ethics, and the Sociology of Development.

Climate change is severely impacting people's health around the world, a report by a leading medical publication has found. The Lancet Countdown report says the world's continued reliance on fossil fuels increases the risk of food insecurity, infectious disease, and heat-related illness. We'll hear why some diseases are on the rise - and how millions of us may be affected. Also in the programme: Ukrainian refugees are told to stay out of the country this winter because of likely power cuts; and how scientists have made a breakthrough in the speed and efficiency of the internet.

In the first episode of the second season, Daniel Shneider and Ajani Stella, students at Hunter College High School in NYC, talk to Dr. Stuart Capstick, Deputy Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST Centre). Dr. Capstick researches public understanding of climate change, and the ways in which citizens' involvement can lead to action. He co-leads a research theme with the CAST Centre focussed on real-world trials to inform low-carbon transformations; this work involves collaborations with NGOs, industry and the Welsh Government. He is a lead author of the UN Environment Programme 2020 ‘Emissions Gap' report chapter on low-carbon lifestyles, looking at social science approaches to help inform and understand lifestyle change. Since 2019 he has also been a co-author of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, involved in assessing media reporting of health and climate change. Dr. Capstick's previous research has examined the potential for behavioral ‘spillover' (how one low-carbon behavior can lead to another), the ways in which people's understanding of climate change evolves over time, the links between personal experience of extreme weather and attitudes to climate change, public perceptions of ocean acidification, and approaches to communicating climate change.Hosts: Daniel Shneider and Ajani StellaProducer: Ariama LongSpecial thanks: Jag Bhalla
