Podcasts about net zero

It seems like everywhere you turn anymore there are stories in the news that challenge us to think critically and biblically about what is going on around us. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to our expert on climate and the environment and the regulations regarding them and he told us about some important changes regarding classification of carbon dioxide, why the European Union wants more use of artificial intelligence and more conflicts with the NetZero polices being heralded just a few short years ago. Then we spoke to a front line fighter for American sovereignty as she continues to update on of the World Health Organization’s unrelenting push to impose international health regulations on all people in all countries that will digital I.D.’s that can track every aspect of your life and would open the door to the kind of social control currently in practice in communist China. Our guest explained why legislation is needed to protect our national sovereignty from this invasive effort and we posted a link to a petition you can sign on our website so that you can join in the fight. Traditional, orthodox Christian beliefs that were once both commonly known and universally accepted are being challenged like never before. Preachers and teachers are leading people astray with what the apostle Paul referred to as “another gospel”. Our guest said that this confusion is leading to legalism, wrong thinking about grace and an over emphasis on prosperity. He took us back to the scriptures to expose these lies and subtle deceptions as a way of lifting their burden off of people’s hearts and turning once again back to the unchanging power and truth of the true gospel. It is fair to say that the Christian life has no power apart from the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. That world transforming event, broke the curse of sin and set captive humanity free. But how much do we avail ourselves of that transformative power? Our guest, a respected apologist, explained the archeological evidence to His resurrection, why His resurrection is SO important and how to use that truth to draw others to the foot of His cross. Once again, we encouraged you to bring your questions to our conversation with a respected expert on the encroachment of the so-called ‘gay gospel”. Having come out of that lifestyle, our guest has been able to see its growing impact on the church of today and how much more acceptance of this false gospel has grown over the years. He offered clear, biblical sound answers to some of the most challenging aspects of this issue for families, friends and churches. Janet and Craig are back with another examination of the headlines of the week through the unchanging lens of scripture.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does net zero really mean, and what will it take to get there? In this episode, highlights from past guests reveal the full spectrum of views—from urgent calls for climate action to scepticism about costs and feasibility. With perspectives on extreme weather, carbon pricing, nuclear energy, coal, and productivity trade-offs, this episode cuts to the heart of the net-zero debate. Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta says he plans to remain at the company while focusing on succession planning through a “layering concept” that develops multiple internal candidates via rotations and expanded responsibilities. Radisson has pledged to transform 100 hotels into net-zero properties by 2030, though financing remains uncertain due to its asset-light model. Meanwhile, a potential U.S. government shutdown could disrupt travel services like national parks while essential functions such as TSA, air traffic control, and passport processing continue.

Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes – collectively known as blue carbon – are some of the most efficient natural carbon sinks on the planet, storing carbon up to 10 times faster than terrestrial forests. They also protect coastlines, support fisheries and provide critical habitat for biodiversity. Yet these ecosystems are disappearing rapidly, and their protection remains underfunded in most climate strategies.   The importance of blue carbon is beginning to gain traction among corporate sustainability teams, but it still represents a small share of nature-based investments. There's a clear opportunity to change that, especially in regions such as west Africa where high-impact restoration efforts are underway. Our panel of experts: Whitney Johston, director of ocean sustainability, Salesforce Yihan Wang, strategy and climate impact, Terraformation Amy Schmid, global blue carbon project lead, Conservation International Ledama Masidza, founder and marine conservationist, KindWorld Project The discussion covers: What to look for in a high-quality blue carbon project How blue carbon fits into broader net-zero strategies Why west Africa is a critical region for scalable blue carbon investment This session is designed for corporate sustainability, ESG, and procurement professionals exploring nature-based climate solutions. Case study: This session studies ReDAW, a mangrove restoration project in Ghana's Anlo wetlands. It's one of the few blue carbon projects of its kind currently in development globally, demonstrating measurable impact for climate, communities, and biodiversity. We also explore what credible blue carbon projects look like today, where the gaps are, and how companies can support this work in a way that aligns with climate, nature, and community goals.

Time is running out to get your tickets for Chaos Trivia! Team LMSU is joining forces with the fabulous folks from Currently Speaking for a blockbuster crossover event, with special guests, the NEMchat Singers. Chaos Trivia is set for the first night of the All Energy Conference on Wednesday 29 October in Melbourne, and as predicted, tickets are selling like hotcakes with only a few left! There will be trivia! Role playing? Musical interludes! Food! Drinks! And Tennant is still committed to some wizard cosplay! All proceeds go to the First Nations Clean Energy Network so - RUN, don't walk and snag tix for you or a whole trivia team.—Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a target! Your intrepid hosts reflect on the many and varied reactions to the slick and stage managed birthing of the Climate Change Authority's advice on a 2035 target and the Government's acceptance of their advice to adopt a target of 62-70% emissions reduction on 2005 levels by 2035. Simultaneously declared “Economy wrecking” (Opposition), “Weak and disappointing” (Greens) and “The sweet spot” (Prime Minister Albanese), it looks like business groups broadly land in the “benign toleration” camp and environment groups unhappy with the bottom end of the range. What do we reckon? The real debate starts now on the level of ambition needed in the policies to get to the top of the range—especially since current policies only get us to about 51% by 2035.Looking for fodder for your own opinion? Check out the op-eds penned by Luke and Adam Morton, and Adam's conversation with CCA Chair Matt Kean.Our main courseIt wasn't just the targets the Government served up last week that had your intrepid hosts salivating at the degustation menu of climate policy offerings to sample. Treasury modelling, NDCs, sector plans, OH MY! But y'all know the LMSU crew can't resist the sweet tantalising temptation of a seriously nerdy modelling exercise and so it was decided - there was never really any question - to the Treasury buffet we go! With three scenarios to unpack, a friendship of climate models used - TIM, MIRA, EMM, ALEX, anyone? There was a lot to digest in here! Eye watering economic upsides for green exports, signalling on declining fossil fuel exports, the cost of delay and some seriously refreshing honesty about limitations of modelling, there was something for everyone here and some significant foundations being laid for the future debate of climate policy in Australia.One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is: a fun Well Actually post, “Why every Sankey diagram you've ever seen is wrong” by Michael LiebreichFrankie's One More Thing is: a shout out from Marian Wilkinson in response to our recent episode on her Quarterly Essay on Woodside, saying she wanted to provoke a broader discussion on the influence of large companies like Woodside on federal and state politics and local communities. Love your work Marian!Luke's One More Thing is: a plug for his other podcast, First Fuel, which features his recent interview with Dr. Saul Griffith at the Energy in WA conference in which Saul predicts the economics of electrification will spur a rapid decline in gas exports and urged a pivot to clean commodities.And that's it for now, Summerupperers. There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: head toletmesumup.netto support us on Patreon, procure merch, find back episodes, and leave us a voicemail!

The media has started to notice that opposition to the “net zero” agenda is fueling a political revolution in Great Britain. POLITICO just ran a hit piece on The Heartland Institute and its climate science and policy presentation at a Reform UK party event this month. It treats as a scandal that Heartland UK/Europe has “held conversations with policymakers within Reform UK.”Did that happen? You bet. And it's long overdue for organized and effective pushback against climate alarmism and net zero madness.On Episode #174 of The Climate Realism Show, we welcome back the indefatigable Lois Perry, director of Heartland UK/Europe and host of her new program The Lois Perry Show: A Bird's Eye View. She'll join Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely to talk about all that—and some of the craziest climate news of the week.

In this week's episode of Energy Evolution, hosts Taylor Kuykendall and Eklavya Gupte discuss a new series of articles from the S&P Global Commodity Insights newsroom examining how some of the world's largest companies are faring on their path to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The hosts interview Commodity Insights senior news reporters Karin Rives and Alex Blackburne about how US and European utilities are adapting their net-zero strategies amid evolving political and economic realities. Rives sheds light on how some US utilities are increasingly backtracking on their green pledges and adjusting their messaging to align with the Trump administration's "American energy dominance" agenda. Meanwhile, Blackburne discusses how European utilities are maintaining their emissions targets even as they scale back investment plans due to macroeconomic headwinds.

In this episode, we are joined by Attzaz Rashid (Barratt London) and Joel Callow (Beyond Carbon) to talk about Barratt London's move into Passive House.It was a chance to get into what attracted Barratt to developing this Lo-E homes proposition and how they came to feel confident about committing to deliver certified Passive House apartments, the team effort that's been employed to make it work, and the way this change has brought about a renewed enthusiasm for the job in some of the project's participants.It's a really interesting exploration of how the rigour and challenges of Passive House has affected Barratt's approach to high-density building, and how the Passive House approach has come to be recognised as advantageous to Barratt, in all sorts of ways. Finally, the critique of M&E design that's made late on in the episode is not a Barratt critique—as Az makes abundantly clear—this is one founded in Joel's experience of inheriting issues that require Beyond Carbon's expertise for their resolution.Notes from the showAttzaz Rashid on LinkedInJoel Callow on LinkedIn The Barratt London websiteThe Beyond Carbon websiteDistrict heating and passive house - are they compatible? from the pages of Passive House PlusBarratt launches record passive house scheme also from the pages of Passive House Plus**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

The battle lines are being drawn ahead of next month's critical meeting and vote at the International Maritime Organization on its Net Zero Framework. The outcome of the extraordinary meeting of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) is far from certain.In this episode, we delve into the heated discussions surrounding the International Maritime Organization's upcoming vote on its Net Zero Framework. Join Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Trade Maritime News, as he analyses the contrasting positions by highlighting statements from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and the Getting to Zero Coalition, among others.The episode looks at the impact Trump Administration's “unequivocal rejection” of the IMO's Net Zero Framework and the impact of its threat of retaliation on states that give it their support. With emissions rising and differing opinions on the path forward, this episode is essential for understanding the future of shipping and the prospects for global environmental commitments.

Chris Morrison criticizes the Met Office and other climate organizations for the poor siting and inaccurate data collection at weather stations, which he argues skew global warming statistics. He highlights the work of researchers like Ray Sanders and Dr. Eric Huxster, who have identified serious flaws in temperature recording practices, such as measuring heat spikes near artificial heat sources. Morrison also discusses how these flawed practices contribute to fearmongering about climate change, advocating for a return to rigorous scientific standards untainted by political agendas.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:34 Freedom of Information Act Request01:44 Analysis of Temperature Records01:59 Amateur Contributions to Data Analysis02:53 Heat Spikes and Their Implications05:06 Questioning the Met Office's Data Integrity05:47 Historical Temperature Comparisons07:53 Global Warming and Data Manipulation08:19 Political and Media Influence on Climate Data09:28 Challenges in Accurate Temperature Measurement15:11 Global Perspective on Temperature Measurement23:51 Net Zero and Climate Policy Critique25:03 Public Perception and Media Influence27:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts35:10 The Energy Crisis and Net Zero Debate35:52 Critique of BBC's Coverage on Net Zero36:49 Philosophical Debates on Net Zero38:00 Mainstream Media's Shift on Net Zero42:39 The Role of Financial Journalism47:11 Climate Journalism and Grooming Courses56:16 COP Meetings and the Future of Climate Politics01:03:46 The Scientific Debate on Climate Change01:08:47 Concluding Thoughts on Climate Sciencehttps://twitter.com/CMorrisonEsqhttps://dailysceptic.org/author/chris-morrison/========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

If only nostalgia paid the bills. But when it comes to peaches, it doesn't. Wattie's is out. Pams do a good line of imported stuff, and those who buy peaches in tins like it cheap. A lot of us like cheap. Cheap has never been more appealing in a cost of living crisis. If I was in the business of patriotic purchases, I would close my door and go home. It does work to a degree overseas. Australia is running an "Australian Made" campaign which has had traction. Canada gave it a good push post the tariff debacle. The French are into it. But a place like New Zealand, despite the rhetoric, has never really excelled at being good at backing local. Pams do peaches at $0.99. Wattie's is $3.90. They would have to be some pretty spectacular fruit for that price, and that is why Wattie's is out. They told us yesterday demand is down. Who needs Brian down the road in Hawke's Bay when you have fruit from Lord-knows-where at a fraction of the price? Peaches are also out of favour. As Greg my hairdresser and I were talking during the week, who buys cans of peaches anyway? It's school camp food, he suggested. But he might just be one of those trendy urbanites. I walked him down memory lane with my childhood canned fruit salad that had peaches and pears and apples and two cherries. The cherries were the prize. I'd happily burn a whole can of syrupy crap to land the two cherries. But here is the thing – one of the tricks in life is honesty. When we face these issues, we burn a lot of energy and time on things we know aren't going to work, or are past their used by date, or are a waste of time. Marching for Gaza is not saving a single life or stopping the war. Turning up at COP30 isn't getting an inch closer to Net Zero and Helen Clark is never going to think more concerts at Eden Park is good. We don't like local anything if we have to pay more than some cheap crap from Vietnam or on Temu. It is what it is. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Day three of London International Shipping Week sees the circus descend on the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization, which is playing host to the week's headline conference. Lloyd's List editor-in-chief Richard Meade, who moderated a session on decarbonisation, and senior reporters Joshua Minchin and Declan Bush were joined by Cargill Ocean Transportation president and chair of the Global Maritime Forum Jan Dieleman to reflect on the day's discussions and ask whether next month's crucial Net-Zero Framework vote would go through. Plus, Joshua asks whether shipping is suitably reassured by the several, passionate promises by military leaders this week that their forces are determined to protect shipping.

Politicians are finally waking up to the folly of Net Zero. The Tories have called for drilling in the North Sea. Reform UK wants to lift the ban on fracking. But the UK's Labour government remains totally committed to renewables, no matter the costs. Here, Kathryn Porter – energy consultant and founder of Watt-Logic – explains why Britain's bet on wind power has proved so disastrous. The result is rising prices, deindustrialisation and even the risk of major blackouts. The time to change course, she says, is now.

The policy environment in the US at the moment is challenging, but developers, utilities, and investors are still moving forward with decarbonisation goals and climate action; they're just talking about it and approaching it in a different way. As RE+ (North America's biggest clean energy event) kicks off, Sylvia Leyva Martinez talks to veteran climate journalist and cleantech investor Molly Wood, about the ways in which the industry is navigating the uncertainty. Molly talks about the outdated forecasts of 1–2% load growth which are being blown apart by real demand increases of up to 30% in some regions, driven by electrification, AI, and data centers. If you can't make it to the event this year, Interchange Recharged will bring you the key discussions and exclusive insights so you don't miss out. You'll hear why traditional load forecasts are being upended by surging demand from AI and data centers, and what that means for project planning and risk management. Despite policy headwinds, the money is still flowing, but in smarter ways: into scalable tech like batteries, grid modernization, and distributed solutions. Investors are refocusing on scalable, commercial-ready technologies like batteries, grid modernization, and distributed energy solutions. And as the narrative shifts from using terms like “net zero” to the more pragmatic “energy dominance,” the conversation explores how storytelling shapes strategy, and why hyperscalers like Google and Amazon may even build their own small modular reactors or power islands to secure the future of energy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
