Today on the show... The world is walking away from the Paris Climate Agreement - should we? With just 15 out of 194 nations meeting their emissions deadlines, is this deal dead in the water? Shane Jones and others think it’s time to rethink our commitment. Are we saving the planet, or just writing blank checks to the Congo? Let’s break it down. Shane Jones is fired up, and he’s not holding back. He says NZ’s climate policies are economic lunacy, coal is here to stay, and the Paris Agreement is more religion than reality. But what’s the alternative? Can we balance pragmatism and climate action? Plus, some Letters to the Editor!

Dr. Elizabeth Hessami, who is a licensed attorney. She has served as a visiting attorney for the Environmental Law Institute for nearly a decade, researching post-conflict natural resources management and specializing in armed conflict and the environment. As well as my professor at Johns Hopkins. We talked at the end of last year and since then, Trump was sworn in as President of the United States again. On January 20th at his Inauguration Speech, President Trump stated “drill baby drill” expressing his interest to increase the US's exploitation and drilling of fossil fuels. He is also a notorious climate change denier. So it comes to no surprise that nationally and internationally there are policies that the Trump Administration will be implementing or receding, - like withdrawing out of the Paris Climate Agreement, that will have an effect on not only the climate globally, but also on international security and relations With Dr Hessami we specifically talk about the critical minerals deal with Ukraine - to give an overview, The initial deal called for Ukraine to use its mineral resources to repay the United States $500 billion for military aid previously provided. The agreed upon framework does not designate the rights of $500 billion worth of minerals revenues to the United States nor does it include a security guarantee for Ukraine. Rather, the agreement establishes a reconstruction investment fund with joint U.S. and Ukraine ownership. Ukraine will contribute 50 percent of all revenues earned from the future monetization of all Ukrainian government-owned natural resource assets into the fund.We also discuss how to stay hopeful and actions we can take ourselves during these changing times.I also want to note that we recorded this on February 21st of this year before any further meetings and talks between Trump and Zelynskyy happened.Contact and connect with Dr. Hessami: ehessam1@jhu.edu Sources:https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/26/europe/ukraine-us-mineral-resources-deal-explained-intl-latam/index.htmlhttps://www.csis.org/analysis/breaking-down-us-ukraine-minerals-deal
Welcome back to Architecture 5 10 20! I'm your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. My guests for this podcast are pioneers and visionaries shaping the future of the built environment across various disciplines. Join me in exploring their remarkable journeys, discovering how they reach their current heights, and envisioning what lies ahead in the next 5, 10, and 20 years. Listen in as I have a conversation with my colleague Dan Piselli, FXCollaborative Director of Sustainability. We break down what it actually means for architects to commit to sustainability and discuss the state of climate commitments in architecture and beyond. We talk about how firms are measuring up to the AIA 2030 Commitment, the gaps between goals and actual progress, and, of course, what needs to change if we want to hit those looming 2030 and 2040 climate milestones. Dan shares his insights into how sustainability has evolved from a niche interest to a central concern in architecture, as well as why some states and firms seem to be going faster than others in energy efficiency. We also talk about the commitments made by mechanical and structural engineers, contractors, and manufacturers because, after all, sustainability isn't just an architect's responsibility; it's an industry-wide effort. Along the way, we touch on the role of building codes, the impact of energy modeling (or lack thereof), and why some firms are struggling despite their best intentions, and, of course, we confront the big question: are we actually on track to meet net-zero goals, or are we just going through the motions? Dan shows how industry climate commitments help track progress and drive real change, even though there's still a lot of work to do. Moving forward, shifting laws and market trends should keep shaping sustainability efforts, with regeneration and adaptation playing big roles. If you are an architect, engineer, or just someone wondering what real climate action looks like in the world of architecture, then this episode is definitely for you. Time stamps: [02:09] - Dan reveals that his passion for sustainable architecture began in childhood and led him to become FX Collaborative's director of sustainability. [04:36] - The world is far from meeting Paris Climate Agreement targets, with U.S. climate funding looking at setbacks. [07:57] - Dan points out how the AIA 2030 commitment pushes firms to design net-zero buildings. [11:03] - In 2023, 61% of projects used energy models, but they only slightly outperformed non-modeled ones. [13:04] - Various industry commitments focus on carbon reduction. [16:06] - Dan argues that clients increasingly consider firms' climate commitments. [17:42] - Dan explains that, in 2023, 490 companies reported nearly 25,000 projects, with 10% meeting the 80% reduction target. [20:08] - Ruben Hall, a nearly complete Passive House retrofit, exemplifies energy-efficient building conversion in NYC. [23:18] - The 2030 memo outlines project goals, ensuring alignment with the commitment to energy efficiency. [25:44] - Dan explains how daylight dimming systems and LED fixtures enhance energy efficiency. [27:38] - Rapid environmental policy changes such as Local Law 9 stress the need for sustainability strategies focused on the future. [28:58] - Dan argues that the future of sustainability is in regeneration. Links / Resources:Guy Geier Instagram | Twitter Dan's LinkedIn Page
The Marshmallow Test: Trust Issues Start Young What if I told you some kids fail the Marshmallow Test not because they lack self-control, but because they've already figured out adults are about as trustworthy as a raccoon guarding an open bag of chips? Why wait for a second marshmallow when the adult in charge looks like they're about to eat it themselves? These kids aren't impulsive—they're just realists in a world where promises vanish faster than campaign slogans after election day. Promises, Patience, and Sweet Lies For those who missed the memo, the Marshmallow Test is a famous psychological experiment where kids are given a choice: eat one marshmallow now or wait 15 minutes and get two. It's often seen as a predictor of future success, and every parent secretly hopes their child will resist that marshmallow, picturing it as the golden ticket to Ivy League diplomas, corner offices, and a perfectly polished future. But here's the kicker: kids don't wait because they're born with superhuman willpower; they wait because they trust that the second marshmallow will actually show up. Trump and the Case of the Vanishing Marshmallows And that brings us to Trump. His presidency was like throwing kids into a Marshmallow Test with an adult who keeps saying, “Just wait a little longer,” while sneakily scarfing down all the marshmallows behind their back, and after you waited and there's no marshmallow left, they'd declare, “The deal's off.” Whether it was pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, reversing healthcare protections, or rolling back rights for marginalized groups, his policies created an environment where no one could trust what tomorrow might bring. Short-Term Thinking: The Ultimate Buzzkill This isn't just bad governance; it's psychological sabotage. When people lose faith in the future, they stop investing in it. Businesses delay innovation—why take risks when regulations flip-flop every four years? Families postpone major life decisions—just look at how birth rates dropped during COVID-19 as financial and health uncertainties skyrocketed. Society becomes stuck in short-term thinking, grabbing at immediate gains instead of planning for long-term success. Macron, Sarkozy, and Europe's Trust Meltdown And let's not pretend this is just an American issue—Europe has its own cautionary tales we'd be wise to avoid. Remember Macron dissolving France's National Assembly after his party lost its majority? He promised voters their voices would shape governance but then failed to appoint a government reflecting their choices. Or Sarkozy, who pushed France into joining a European treaty despite voters rejecting it in a referendum? These moves didn't just undermine democracy—they shattered public trust in institutions and leadership itself. Kierkegaard Was Right (But Marshmallows Prove It) Philosopher Søren Kierkegaard once said, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” Trust is what allows us to live forwards—to make sacrifices today because we believe they'll pay off tomorrow. When leaders like Trump (or Macron or Sarkozy) undermine that trust, they don't just disrupt progress; they erode our collective ability to plan for a better future. The Real Lesson of the Marshmallow Test: Snack Now or Later? Isn't the real lesson of the Marshmallow Test less about patience and more about trust? I mean, who's going to wait for a second marshmallow if you're not even sure it's coming—are we optimists for holding out, or just realists who know when to grab the first snack and run?

The good news for climate realists and better governance in the Trump administration is piling up so fast it is difficult to keep up. As we covered on this show on December 6, a bit of undercover journalism by Project Veritas exposed a left-wing staffer at the Environmental Protection Agency admitting that he and others were trying to get billions of our tax money “out as fast as possible” before the Trump administration arrived in January and put a stop to it. “It truly feels like we're on the Titanic and we're throwing gold bars off the edge,” laughed Brent Efron, former “special advisor for implementation” at EPA. Well, new EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced this week that he has jumped into his submersible and snatched the gold bars ($20 billion) out of the hands of unaccountable lefty nonprofit “NGOs” and returned them to the treasury. The endless flow of our tax money going to environmental extremists groups who advocate against America's interest seems to be coming to an endThe Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely, will also talk about how the Paris Climate Agreement seems to be breaking apart, provide a media “Climate Fact Check” for January, check in on the continuing failure of EVs, show you what a “dying coyote” climate protest looks and sounds like, and more.DONATE to support the show. http://heartland.org/tcrs

Gwyn and Ode talk about how to offset the impact of US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and projected federal conservancy failures as much as possible with local efforts.
Now that the Los Angeles fires have been contained, Angelenos face health concerns from fire pollutants among many long-term consequences. Plus, President Donald Trump withdraws the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement. Will Michael Bloomberg's offer to pay for the U.S.'s portion of the group's budget make a difference? And the homeowners' insurance crisis on Martha's Vineyard may soon be a problem for all of us. It's our environmental news roundtable!
Christiana Figueres, the driving force behind the groundbreaking Paris Climate Agreement, reflects on the high-stakes negotiations that reshaped the global fight against climate change in the year that marks its ten-year anniversary. With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, she reveals the relentless pushback from the fossil fuel lobby, and the ever-shifting geopolitical tensions that threaten progress. Will the world stay on course, or are we teetering on the edge of climate catastrophe?Co-hosts Paul Dickinson and Tom Rivett-Carnac recall the final hours of the deal being adopted, the extraordinary feeling of seeing the world come together in unanimous support of climate action and make their predictions for how the business and political worlds will move forward in a new era of leadership. As Donald Trump kicks off his second term with a raft of immigration policies, the hosts discuss how the number of people set to be displaced due to climate is set to exceed a billion by 2050. Plus, whether 2025 is the year the insurance industry reaches an existential crisis as climate-related weather events, like the LA fires, become uninsurable. ********************************************Want to share your views on how the Paris Climate Agreement changed the course of history?

A former Climate Change Minister says it would be a mistake to withdraw from a global climate deal. ACT Leader David Seymour's floated the idea of New Zealand leaving the agreement, saying it's perhaps a discussion for a future election. Labour's calling on Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to recommit to the deal. Nick Smith told Mike Hosking it would be great if we could hold a consistent stance on this. He says the problem with an issue like climate change is if Government policy is flip-flopping all the time, you're not going to make any progress.

A record 47% of the European Union's electricity is now generated by renewable energy sources. Saudi Arabia and China have also been investing in greener energy sources. In the U.S., however, President Donald Trump has pulled the country out of the Paris Climate Agreement and is pushing more fossil fuel development. We’ll discuss. Plus, we’ll talk about the potential trajectory of interest rates and the state of the airline economy.

In this special episode, I trade my hosting chair for the hot seat: Rebecca Riley of the Free Minds Book Club interviews me about the Changing Planet Justice Foundation, the nonprofit I founded to empower youth to lead community-based climate action. We kick things off with my origin story, tracing how my passion for national parks and environmental justice blossomed into a global initiative. Changing Planet Justice provides youth with opportunities to share their climate stories and gain hands-on climate leadership experience. Through live workshops, citizen science projects, interactive planning tools, and one-on-one mentorship, youth of all ages and backgrounds turn their ideas into impactful climate action projects. I share the inspiration behind the organization, the tangible impacts it has achieved, and how I keep the mission grounded by prioritizing youth perspectives and encouraging kids to define and map their environmental priorities. We dig into how I combat climate apathy, even as politicians and fossil-fools prioritize greenbacks over green solutions—handing my generation a steaming pile of earth. I share my thoughts on the outcomes of recent COP conferences and the lingering fallout from President Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Finally, I explain why--despite a political climate that's as overheated as the actual climate--I'm genuinely hopeful for the planet's future and confident in my generation's climate resilience. This interview will appear in Free Minds Connect magazine, published by Free Minds, a Washington, D.C. nonprofit that uses books and writing workshops to empower incarcerated youth to rewrite their stories and become agents of change. Rebecca Riley, the Jail Book Club Coordinator, leads this conversation with her insightful and compelling questions.
On the heels of the fires that continue in Los Angeles, the Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that 2024 was the first calendar year that was 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – the limit agreed upon in the Paris Climate Agreement. Yet, support for climate policies here in Canada seem to be on the wane. According to Abacus Data, concern about climate change has decreased 14 points between 2023 and 2024, from 76% to 62% of Canadians. And, according to an Ipsos poll from this month, climate change or the environment was ranked ninth among the list of priorities for Canadian voters. Housing, healthcare, economy, inflation/interest rates, and immigration rounded out the top five. Do we simply no longer care about climate change in this country – especially at the ballot box?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/27/2025): 3:05pm- After the first week of his second term as president, Donald Trump mandated employees of the federal government work in-person, withdrew the nation from the Paris Climate Agreement, withdrew the nation from the World Health Organization (WHO) citing their willingness to cover-up China's COVID-19 transgressions, delayed enforcement of a national ban of TikTok, recognized two genders—male and female, pardoned 1,500 Americans arrested for their actions on January 6th, 2021, expanded domestic energy production, shut down the U.S. Southern border and began deportations of dangerous illegal migrants, and guaranteed free speech on social media. Trump also fulfilled a long-term campaign pledge to focus on meritocracy and pivot away from the prioritization of far-left policies like diversity, equity, and inclusion (D.E.I.) within the federal government. Rich wonders, was this the most consequential first week in modern presidential history? 3:15pm- On Sunday, the Trump Administration arrested nearly 1,000 illegal migrants who have been accused of serious crimes. Comparatively, the Biden Administration averaged 310 arrests per day, according to Axios. The New York Post reports that in a raid over the weekend, federal agents arrested 50 members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in Denver, Colorado. 3:30pm- CIA Says Lab Leak the Likely Origin of COVID-19: Michael R. Gordon and Dustin Volz of The Wall Street Journal write: “The Central Intelligence Agency has now concluded that the deadly Covid-19 pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, lending credibility to a view that has been the focus of sharp debate among scientists and politicians for years. In doing so, the CIA has now joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Energy Department in identifying a laboratory mishap in Wuhan, China, as the probable source of the Covid virus. It has killed more than 1.2 million Americans and over seven million people worldwide.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/cia-now-favors-lab-leak-theory-on-origins-of-covid-19-eff4e67c. 3:40pm- After initially rejecting deportation flights containing Colombian citizens who entered the U.S. illegally, Colombian President Gustavo Perez reversed course—even providing the U.S. with his own presidential plane to assist in the process. After Perez's refusal, President Donald Trump announced he would slap Colombia with a 25% tariff, with the promise it would quickly increase to 50%. The United States is Colombia's largest trading partner. 4:00pm- Robert Bork Jr.—President of the Antitrust Education Project & President of the Bork Communication Group—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Federal Trade Commission in the Trump Administration. Will antitrust concerns persist over Microsoft's $13 billion investment in OpenAI? Could hypothetical overregulation of artificial intelligence harm American innovation—potentially allowing for foreign adversaries to better compete in the emerging industry? Plus, Bork reacts to Nvidia stock falling 17%, wiping out nearly $600 billion in market value. 4:30pm- Last week, prior to the NFC Championship game, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker misspelled “Eagles” while leading a chant to support the hometown team. Yesterday, the Eagles dominated the Washington Commanders, 55 to 23. But today, Parker spelled the team's name properly—did she just jinx the whole city right before the Super Bowl? 4:40pm- While appearing on NPR, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner stated that he is exploring the possibility of filing local charges against Pennsylvanians who unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 despite President Donald Trump's recent pardons. But how does Krasner have jurisdiction over federal offenses that were already reversed? 5:00pm- Last week, prior to the NFC Championship game, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Park ...

Send us a textIs America's political landscape bracing for a seismic shift? We explore this question through President Trump's whirlwind of policy changes during his first week back in office. From immigration to climate policy, his executive orders are setting a new and controversial direction for the nation. We dissect the implications of rolling back protections for asylum seekers, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, and the bold move to expand fossil fuel use. We also tackle the controversial reshaping of federal diversity programs and the pardoning of individuals tied to the January 6 Capitol incident, unveiling Trump's broader agenda to redefine American life and politics.The episode delves deep into the provocative question of federal economic interdependence between red and blue states. We explore the irony and complexity of red states, which often champion smaller government, benefiting the most from federal aid funded by blue states. How does this reality impact infrastructure, public services, and even the migration of skilled professionals? We analyze the socio-economic challenges and brain drain that result from these political decisions, as well as the contrasting affordability and quality of life between red and blue states.To wrap up, we assess how Trump's executive actions are shaking up both domestic and international realms. His decisions to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, restrict recognition of gender identity, and withdraw from international organizations like the WHO could have far-reaching global implications. We question the sustainability of the red state economic model and the potential fallout if they were to pursue secession. Join us in unpacking these bold moves that could reshape the United States and its position in the world.ChristiTutionalist Politicsthe "ChristiTutionalist Politics" podcast.

President Trump wasted no time after his inauguration on Monday reversing all of his predecessor's executive orders that made climate alarmism and “green” energy the focus of American government. He didn't just reverse bad policies, and pull us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, he went farther than he did in his first term to ramp up American energy production and rein in an Environmental Protection Agency that regulated far beyond its mandate. Among at least 47 climate- and energy-related EOs signed in the first 24 hours of his swearing-in was one tackling what has long served as the keystone of limitless environmental regulation: the “endangerment finding” for carbon dioxide emissions. May we finally see the end of the EPA's abuse of its regulatory power?The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely are joined by special guest Myron Ebell, who was on President Trump's EPA Transition Team for his first term to break down what these reversals of radical climate and energy policy will mean for America and the world.

With a few strokes of the pen, it's as if he never left. Or is it? On day one of his second term, Donald Trump pardoned nearly all those convicted in the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol. Has the 45th and now 47th president succeeded in rewriting the narrative? His diehard supporters are cheering, hailing the pardoned as "hostages" of a political witch hunt and celebrating his promise of mass deportations targeting "criminal aliens". But can Trump keep his coalition intact? From populist voters to billionaire tech titans like Elon Musk, do their interests truly align? And in Washington, where his party controls Congress and the Supreme Court is stacked with his appointees, can the disrupter-in-chief truly crush his enemies and solidify his legacy?Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Guillaume Gougeon and Annarosa Zampaglione.
In this solo episode of The Mark and Pete Show, Pete delves into the whirlwind of actions taken by President Donald Trump on his first day back in office.

Pete examines the implications of Trump's executive orders, including the controversial end to birthright citizenship, the U.S. exit from the Paris Climate Agreement, and the focus on border security. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the immediate impact and future ramifications of these bold moves. Tune in for a detailed breakdown of what could be one of the most pivotal days in recent U.S. political history, offering insights into what might come next.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

The game of the night will either be Codenames or Chameleon. The Zoom link is posted in the Victory Chat as well as this episode page on Patreon! When it comes to the DNC Chair election on February 1st, the only choice is Ben Wikler, chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin since July 2019. None of the other candidates, except for Ken Martin, the state chair of the Democratic Party in Minnesota, even come close. Why? Because, unlike Martin, Wikler has faced off with the worst of our national demons in Wisconsin—a state that's long been a laboratory for GOP autocracy, as detailed in Ari Berman's must-read book Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It. In this week's bonus show Q&A, shaped by our Democracy Defender-level supporters and higher, we make the case for Wikler and break down the dynamics of a race that could shape not only the future of the Democratic Party but the soul of America.
