Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 13, 2022 is: crucible • KROO-suh-bul • noun Crucible refers to a place or situation that forces someone or something to change. Most commonly found in formal and literary writing, it can also mean “a difficult test or challenge.” Its original meaning, still in use, is “a pot in which metals or other substances are heated to a very high temperature or melted.” // Her rock-solid songwriting skills were forged in the crucible of the Nashville music scene. // After years of intense daily archery training, she is ready to face the crucible of the Olympics. See the entry > Examples: “Fungi have helped trees adapt on a millennial scale. They could be crucial to helping trees adapt in the climate crisis. ‘In difficult times, organisms find new symbiotic relationships in order to expand their reach,' said Dr. [Cosmo] Sheldrake, the biologist. ‘Crisis is the crucible of new relationships.'” — Somini Sengupta, The New York Times, 27 July 2022 Did you know? Unless you're studying Arthur Miller's The Crucible in school, it may not be crucial to learn the story behind crucible, but it can't hurt! Crucible looks like it should be closely related to the Latin combining form cruc- (“cross”); however, unlike crucial, it isn't. It was forged instead from the Medieval Latin crucibulum, a noun for an earthen pot used to melt metals, and in English it first referred to a vessel made of a very heat-resistant material (such as porcelain) used for melting a substance that requires a high degree of heat. It's possible that the resemblance between cruc- and crucible encouraged people to start using crucible to mean “a severe trial,” as that sense is synonymous with one meaning of cross, but the idea of simmering in a literal crucible also sounds plenty severe. The newest sense of crucible (“a situation in which great changes take place,” as in “forged in the crucible of war”) recalls the fire and heat required to transform some solids into liquids.

This episode originally aired on October 20th, 2020. From California wildfires and Gulf Coast hurricanes to flooding in China and Pakistan, the impacts of climate change have grown increasingly evident. And whether it is agricultural workers, low-income and minority communities, or the world's poorest in the Global South, the severe inequities in who bears the burden of climate change as well as in air and water pollution is also receiving growing recognition.  In this episode of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Jason Bordoff is joined by one of the leading reporters today writing about the links between a warming planet and such issues as race, conflict, natural disasters, and big tech: Somini Sengupta.  Somini is the international climate reporter for The New York Times. A George Polk Award-winning foreign correspondent, she previously worked in other capacities at The New York Times as its United Nations correspondent, West Africa Bureau Chief, and South Asia Bureau Chief. She spoke about the critical role journalists play in telling the stories that help illuminate how climate change affects families and workers around the world. 

En este "A riesgo de demanda" (ARDD):  Los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos han afectado enormemente a todo el mundo. Y las recientes inundaciones en Alemania y los incendios en el oeste de EE.

In Germany, searches for the missing continue in the wake of recent catastrophic flooding that destroyed villages and claimed almost 200 lives so far. That disaster, together with wildfires that rage in Canada and the western U.S. and record-breaking temperatures in Russia, led New York Times climate correspondent Somini Sengupta to conclude that “the world as a whole is neither prepared to slow down climate change, nor live with it.” We'll talk to Sengupta about why even wealthy countries are ill-equipped to deal with the worst effects of climate change and what it will take to force international action.

Zócalo and the University of Toronto present The World We Want, an event series exploring our current societal, political, and economic challenges and how we might emerge from the current moment. The series includes “How Do Our Cities Prepare for the Post-Apocalypse?” It’s too late to prevent the apocalypse. Because it’s already here. A virus spreads globally, creating a pandemic, as yet uncontrolled. Climate change accelerates, and hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, and floods grow deadlier. Nuclear weapons and disruptive technologies proliferate, and economic dislocation and record mass migrations destabilize cities. Is it reasonable to expect urban centers, which are particularly threatened by many of these global phenomena, to do much more than mitigate the damage? And if world-altering disasters—from climate change to mass social breakdown—are inevitable, what can we do now to give our densest and most vulnerable communities a better chance of recovering from these apocalypses, and perhaps even thriving again in the centuries to follow? University of Toronto professor and urbanist Richard Florida, Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr of Freetown, Sierra Leone, Forensic Architecture Senior Researcher Samaneh Moafi, and Serge Dedina, Mayor of Imperial Beach, CA and Executive Director of WILDCOAST, visit Zócalo to discuss how cities around the world might prepare for the post-apocalypse. This Zócalo/University of Toronto online event was moderated by Somini Sengupta, international climate reporter at the New York Times.

New York Times international climate reporter, Somini Sengupta, visited the University of Melbourne recently to talk about urban life and climate change.She said we live in a time when most of the world's population is urban and so climate change presents grave new risks for the world's cities and so forces those who live there to figure our how to survive.Somini discussed the scale of the problem and considered the different ways urban populations around the world are rapidly recalibrating their behaviours to address and counter climate change.She pointed the near full theatre of a New York Times story that allowed people to discover "How Much Hotter Is Your Hometown Than When You Were Born?"

2/28/19 Toward a Better Future: Transforming the Climate Crisis "The Human Toll of Climate Change: A Reporter's Reflections" Opening Keynote Address by Somini Sengupta, The New York Times International Climate Reporter and George Polk Award-winning foreign correspondent Climate change is not only about the planet -- it's about the past, present, and future of the people who live here. Sengupta shares reflections from her writings about the human toll of climate change on vulnerable communities around the world. The Rothko Chapel and University of St. Thomas hosted a three day symposium exploring the current climate crisis, its impact on vulnerable communities, and mitigation efforts being implemented locally and nationally. Given the global interconnectedness of the climate crisis, the symposium explored how best to move to a zero emission, low carbon economy through the engagement of presenters from religious, Indigenous, public health, energy, government, philanthropic, academic and arts sectors and communities. A central focus was on individual and institutional actions, practices and policies that must be taken to create a more livable and equitable future. Somini Sengupta, The New York Times’s international climate reporter, tells the stories of communities and landscapes most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. A George Polk Award-winning foreign correspondent, she has reported from a Congo River ferry, a Himalayan glacier, the streets of Baghdad and Mumbai and many places in between. As The Times’s United Nations correspondent, she reported on global challenges from war to women's rights. Her first book, The End of Karma: Hope and Fury Among India's Young was published in 2016 by W.W. Norton. She grew up in India, Canada and the United States, graduating from the University of California at Berkeley.

Seventy years after independence, India is the world's largest democracy, one of its most diverse societies, and the economy with growth potential that could rival China's. Yet it also remains one of the poorest and unequal, with hundreds of millions mired in deep poverty and limited by a rigid caste system that constrains social mobility. The Narendra Modi-led government's turn to Hindu nationalism has sharpened sectarian tensions and raised questions over the rule of law—and hasn't helped relations with Pakistan either. With three decades left before its centennial, what must India do to become a decisive force on the world stage and convert its expected demographic dividend into broad prosperity? Featuring: Alyssa Ayres, Senior Fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia, Council on Foreign Relations; Raghuram Rajan, Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, University of Chicago Booth School of Business;Somini Sengupta, UN Bureau Chief and Foreign Correspondent, New York Times; Tunku Varadarajan, Virginia Hobbs Carpenter Fellow in Journalism, Hoover Institution, Stanford University. Moderated by Marshall Bouton, Senior Fellow, Center for Advanced Study of India, University of Pennsylvania.

Akaash and I are in way over our heads as went to the United Nations to interview the Bureau Chief for the New York Times, Somini Sengupta. Somini has been a journalist for over 20 years and has been the Bureau Chief for the Times covering South Asia, Western, and Central Africa all before ending up at the UN. She generously took time after a huge vote to talk to us about her latest book End of Karma: Hope and Fury among India’s Young, as well as her journey from being born in India, to growing up in Canada, to college in the US, to going back to India to work. Her journey allows her to share the unique aspect of inhabiting each of the identity spaces with which we so often talk about being in conflict. It is a powerful discussion that goes so far as to even question the very concept of the East/West construct. Akaash and I were taken to school, and I gotta admit, it was beautiful.

My guest today Somini Sengupta is the United Nations correspondent for the New York Times. She's the author of the new book The End of Karma: Hope and Fury Among India's Young which tells the story of a huge demographic challenge facing India today, where 365 million people are between the ages of 10 and 24. It is the youngest country on the planet, and through storytelling and reporting, Somini puts the experiences of India's young into the broader context of the country's political, social and economic challenges.  Somini was born in Calcutta, but came to the Canada and then the USA at a young age. She joined the New York Times in the mid 1990s and she tells some powerful stories from her reporting in Africa in the early 2000s, including Liberia, Congo and Darfur.  We kick off discussing her new book, and a term she coined to describe India's youth generation, the "noonday children."
