“Among the growing effects of the climate crisis, the evolution of hurricanes is one of the more immediate and destructive.” Our oceans are warming. Superstorms are intensifying. In Porter Fox's new book, the accelerating danger resulting from these two realities of the climate crisis is on full display. And Fox is no stranger to the ocean - as a longtime sailor and decades-long climate writer, he literally confronts deadly storms in his reporting. Now, with latest book, Category Five, Superstorms and the Warming Oceans that Feed Them, he's unpacking what he's heard from scientists and explorers alike to mark the changes we've already seen with oceans and superstorms and what's in store as warming accelerates. He joins this week to talk about the damage we're seeing from natural disasters, the disparity in disaster responses, and why he wanted to combine memoir and climate science for this book.  Porter Fox is a writer and author of books like The Last Winter and Northland. He writes and edits the award-winning literary travel writing journal Nowhere, teaches at Columbia University School of the Arts and is a MacDowell Fellow.  Read Category Five, Superstorms and the Warming Oceans that Feed Them As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

What used to be called 100-year floods are now annual occurrences. Summer 2023 was the wettest ever in Vermont, with 2 feet of rain falling on the state. One storm submerged the capital of Montpelier. This July saw towns such as Plainfield ripped apart by raging rivers. In Connecticut this month, a storm dropped more than a foot of rain, leading to deadly and destructive flooding.Author Porter Fox says the source of these deluges — as well as heat waves, fires, and floods — is the ocean, where about 90% of global warming is occurring. This is the inexorable consequence of human-caused climate change. The top layer of the ocean has warmed about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which is “large enough to transform marine biodiversity, change ocean chemistry, raise sea levels, and fuel extreme weather,” reports the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.Fox explains the connection between oceans, climate change and extreme weather in his new book, “Category Five: Superstorms and the Warming Oceans That Feed Them.”Fox has a personal connection to the ocean. He grew up on Mount Desert Island in Maine, home to Acadia National Park. His father was a renowned boat builder, and Fox learned the craft of ocean sailing by trial and lots of error. He later attended Middlebury College and wrote about skiing adventures all around the world as an editor of Powder Magazine but has now returned to his first love, the sea. Fox's other books include “The Last Winter” and “Northland.”In “Category Five,” Fox captures the awesome power of the ocean by profiling a legendary storm sailor, a mapmaker and a maker of sailing drones, among others.“The ocean is the mother of all weather. It's like a battery that is getting charged up by this excess heat that we have,” Fox said. This is creating squalls and hurricanes with “metrics that we've never seen before.” These monster storms are “traveling farther while moving slower, thus dumping more water and the ferocity of their winds has more time to wreak havoc as they go,” Fox said.“A full throated ocean gale is absolutely terrifying,” he said. These storms have an “explosive sound and shrieking and raging wind and waves that are so powerful they can toss around a 30,000 pound boat like it's a little toy.”Even landlocked places such as Vermont are experiencing the power of the ocean. “Most of the rain that you see in Vermont comes off of the ocean and evaporation. So we have a hotter climate over the ocean. We have more evaporation. We have more energy being infused into the atmosphere,” Fox said. “So every front, every thunderstorm, every squall, every rainstorm is directly connected to the ocean.”The warming ocean has transformed how and when storms occur. “Hurricane season used to be roughly from June to November,” Fox said. Hurricanes have recently occurred in January and May. "Now there is no off season,” he said.What would it take to fix what is broken? “It's kind of an obvious answer: just a little bit of everything,” Fox said. That includes “changing how we create and consume energy around the world, closing down coal-fired power plants, changing from gas cars to electric cars or hydrogen batteries.”“Without the ocean, we'd be gone by now," Fox said. "That 90% of the heat that it is absorbed (by oceans) would be right up in the atmosphere. Temperatures would be unbearable. Storms would be so much more powerful. And yet the ocean is this buffer.”“There's a lot of checks and balances, and it's perhaps the reason that this little blue ball of a planet has maintained life for so long,” he said.“If we can just be aware of that and kind of nudge some of those balances," Fox said, "you could bring the planet back to the way it was pre-1800s.”

In the last 30 years, there has been an explosion in the diversity of cuisine. But while there are more diverse and healthier food choices available than ever before, and people are becoming more aware of what they are actually eating, the science of taste is still underdeveloped compared to our other senses.John McQuaid, is a journalist and author, most recently of the book "Tasty: The Art and Science of What We Eat," which explores the biology and history of flavor from the origin of life to the modern food system. While working for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, he was the lead reporter on a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper series about market-driven fisheries collapses around the world and co-writer of a series that anticipated the city's near-demise by Hurricane Katrina. He has also written for other publications including Smithsonian magazine, The Washington Post, and Scientific American.John and Greg talk about the interplay of the natural, genetic and neurological aspects of taste and how this sense has evolved in our culture in the last decades. They also discuss the limitations of industrial manufacturing and artificial flavors and the obstacles to using machine intelligence to come up with new recipes.Episode Quotes:Food is a product of a particular time and place28:36: Food is very much a product of particular time and place. And to experiment radically with it is both exciting, somewhat dangerous; if you do it right, can be a real revolution. And so that's a lot of what's going on now. In flavor, they're starting to manipulate these processes, which have cultural roots, but nobody really understands how it works in terms of the flavors it produces because flavors are so complicated. Just the biochemical makeup of them, in addition to how we experience them, is very poorly understood.12:02: Over time, we learned to integrate and create more complicated experiences around food that could turn bitterness into something that was a plus rather than a minus.Can we use machine intelligence to come up with new recipes?44:15: To create new cuisine, you need to build on existing traditions and experiment, and it's a constant, never-ending process that's underway. And it's a live process. It requires human beings trying different things and tasting different things. And they might get some clues from looking at how computers would suggest putting certain flavors together. But until you actually do that in a kitchen, you're not really going to know what works and what doesn't.Show Links:Recommended Resources:“Tasty: The Art and Science of What We Eat” Book by John McQuaidGuest Profile:Professional Profile at the Wilson CenterJohn McQuaid's WebsiteJohn McQuaid on LinkedInJohn McQuaid on TwitterHis Work:Articles on Scientific AmericanArticles on ForbesTasty: The Art and Science of What We EatPath of Destruction: The Devastation of New Orleans and the Coming Age of Superstorms

Ron Kamen, represents commercial organizations in clean energy projects that reduce energy costs and lower carbon footprints. He started the AWESome EarthKind podcast to generate hope & empower families with the tools to have a positive impact. For 3 decades, he's worked with large and small businesses, governments & non-profits to identify achievable clean energy goals, create strategies, and deliver next-generation cost-saving climate solutions.   His career began with fixed-income seniors who had to choose to "heat or eat" due to astronomical utility cost increases. He came to realize that energy was also the major source of air, water & land pollution. (In my home state, energy is responsible for ~ 90% of greenhouse gases).   Climate disruption became personal in 1998 when an upstate NY tornado severely damaged his home and his family narrowly avoided catastrophe. Since then, climate-induced weather disasters have become commonplace, with Superstorms, massive flooding, droughts, wildfires, and polar vortices shutting down electric grids and threatening lives (even in "climate-change-denying" southern states),   EarthKind Energy Consulting brings this commitment, experience, and expertise to every project. Our successes include reductions in electricity, heating, & transportation costs; improved carbon footprints; outstanding financial returns; and zero cash down projects that provide immediate and long-term savings. There is nothing better than working with good people and organizations who aim to have a positive environmental impact - and realize that they can save money doing it.   As a public speaker, he also makes public presentations that educate, inspire, and empower both young and old to "Go Clean & Save Green". The AWESome EarthKind podcast promotes that women and mankind - all EarthKind - are Forces of Nature. We are the 5th Element, and we are literally changing the work. We CAN make a real difference (and save ourselves money) when we focus on clean energy for our homes, businesses, communities, and nation.   Show Highlights Ron shares his work with clean energy, clean tech, renewables and more in the greater New York area and beyond.  Energy is the answer to a lot of our economic environmental issues.  Figuring out how property owners, commercial buildings, nonprofits, government, can make transitions to clean energy to have environmental cost efficient  benefits.  EarthKind is a small boutique consulting company targeting clients who want to tap into the opportunity to save a really dramatic amount of money for the environment. Build awareness for geothermal exchange, where it becomes most cost effective, and what's holding the technology back.  Grid evolution with distributing storage, being a generation source, electric vehicle supplying battery storage and use as a revenue source.   The technology that supports environmental policy and pockets to drive economic decisions.   Benefits of building an  infrastructure with renewable vs fossil fuels when promoting new construction.         “The problem with fossil fuels and with things like nuclear is that they're very cost excessive and cost always increases. Whereas when you take a look at renewables, the great thing about renewables is that once you build the infrastructure, all you have to do is maintain it. The water flows, you get free electricity. The wind blows, you get free electricity. The sun shines, you get free electricity.” -Ron Kamen               Get the episode transcript here!!

I hosted over 50 of them in our high school library where we taught them about online resources, file sharing, collaboration and content creation in print and audio.I gave the students several topics to pick from for their research. So in this episode, I reflect on the process, we then listen to the students' recordings, and I follow up with some comments. My final analysis is process over product wins the day. The content they produced was good, but the process to arrive at that content was fantastic. Don't be afraid to let students have the time needed to process. I know you could get them there faster, but the quality of the result depends on a slow simmer sometimes. So listen and be impressed by what these students cooked up.

Welcome, AWESome EarthKind People! Hi - I'm Ron Kamen - your host & clean energy guide. For more than 3 decades, I've helped businesses, governments, non-profits and communities take their next step in clean energy transformations that reduce carbon footprints and save money. AWESome EarthKind is here to empower and energize YOU - so that you can take your next step. We launched the AWESome EarthKind podcast a year ago on August 6th, 2020 –– the 75th anniversary of humanity's destructive use of nuclear power on the people of Hiroshima, arguably the date that humanity became the 5th Force of Nature. Almost every day, extreme weather events demonstrate the incredible power of the 4 elements – the Air, Water , Earth, and Sun.  Our entire civilization is now at the tipping point. Weird and unpredictable weather has become the new normal. Wildfires, droughts, and extreme heat are affecting many people around the planet, while the increasing number and intensity of floods, Superstorms, and tornados regularly threaten just about everyone. To divert the catastrophic consequences of climate disruption, we MUST all come together and make the transition to clean energy. We started AWESome EarthKind to share the GOOD News that the AWESome Forces of Nature offer us thousands of times more energy than we need. We want to ensure that you - and everyone - understands the BETTER News - that human ingenuity and innovation are harnessing the 4 Elements and that we can now use this AWESome EarthKind Energy for all our electricity, heating, cooling, and transportation needs And we aim to spread the BEST News… that clean energy can save us money. YOU, me, and the 7 Billion people on the planet are now the 5th Element. Woman and Mankind - all “EarthKind” – are literally changing the world, and we all need to take the personal, professional and political actions that can stop and reverse the catastrophic impacts of climate disruption – and create a brighter, healthier, more just and prosperous civilization. AWESome EarthKind is for people who want to learn how to move to clean energy and save money when they make the transition. Over this past year, we've created episodes with leading policy and technology experts, construction professionals, and average homeowners who are working toward a clean energy future.   Awareness, Hope, & Opportunity of clean energy technologies Health Impacts and how clean energy technologies can reduce the risk of asthma & other respiratory illnesses Energy Efficiency & Clean Energy's Big 3: Renewable Electricity, Clean Heating & Electric Vehicles The Business Voice & New Business Models that have created 3.4 Million American jobs – 3x more than those in the fossil fuel industry Environmental Justice and how clean energy “empowers the people that most need the work with the ability to do the work that most needs doing” Clean Energy Investments that provide superior returns while protecting & promoting your values   Starting your own Ecopreneur Business   The Basics of how to access clean energy technologies and save money Small Actions that make a big difference  Specific steps we can each take to reduce energy costs with solar electricity, clean heating, and electric cars Deep dives into utility and government incentives How to evaluate your unique situation, build a vision of where you'd like to be, and create a strategy that will reduce your energy costs, improve your family's health, and create a proud legacy for your grandchildren How to generate additional income – or build your own clean energy business – without having to learn complex technologies - in the $13 TRILLION clean energy economy.   Over this past year, AWESome EarthKind Energy released weekly new podcast episodes with interviews of fascinating EarthKind people doing AWESome things with clean energy.  We've introduced you to individuals who are “walking the talk” and shared their SuperNova ideas to entertain, enlighten, and inspire you. You've heard what other homes, workplaces, and communities are doing to evolve to clean energy technologies, the challenges they faced, and the solutions they created. We've explained how LED lightbulbs are so much more efficient that regular incandescent lights because LEDs provide the same visible light - without wasting 90% of the energy creating heat. We've let you know that, wherever you live or work, you can have some type of renewable electricity. Even if you can't put solar on your roof, there are other options on your property; additional ways to gain the benefits of solar in your community; and even options to purchase clean electricity from your utility or energy service company. We've enlightened you with the knowledge that your refrigerator is one type of heat pump - and how other types of heat pumps can you save money when you shift to clean heating & cooling in your home, school, and workplace.  We've examined air source heat pumps, which are simply air conditioners that both cool AND heat.  In the Power of Earth with Comfort by ClimateMaster series, we've conducted deep dives into ground source, or geothermal heat pumps - the most efficient forms of heating and cooling. We've shared how half the sun's energy is stored in the ground beneath your feet – and how places like St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City installed a zero-emission, quiet, and comfortable geothermal system that was less expensive in upfront capital costs – and reduced their energy expenses by 30%  And how geothermal systems under the footprint of new and existing homes, multi-family dwellings, and office buildings are providing all the heating, cooling, and hot water for buildings as tall as 25 stories. Lastly, we've aimed to energize you with the ability to transition to your choice of over 50 Electric Vehicles that are Faster, Cheaper & more Reliable than gas cars, trucks & SUVs. Over this past year, Covid-19 has given everyone on Earth a massive wakeup call that reminds us that life is short, and fragile. Our lives, and the lives of all we love and everyone we know, now depend on our making the transition to clean energy.  Several years ago, I was privileged to see firsthand how we might transform a dark and hopeless situation into a bright future. When my wife was facing imminent death after a long battle with liver disease, she was saved by a Live Liver Transplant, and I discovered how the Liver is the body's renewable organ. In her case, the combination of human will power, Nature's incredible healing capabilities, and modern technology saved her life. Together, we are all now an AWESome Force of Nature. We ARE literally changing the world. The only question is – will we continue to fuel catastrophic climate change – or will we create the clean energy future we need to make the world safe for ourselves, our children, and all future generations?

The Philippines is no stranger to storms. The country's group of islands weather around 20 storms and typhoons a year. But when news of supertyphoon Goni was announced, it took action, preparing itself as best it could under the restrictions of Covid-19. 390,000 people were evacuated from their homes as 2020’s strongest storm hit the archipelago on the November 1. The storm was the most powerful typhoon to make landfall on the islands since 2013, when Typhoon Haiyan killed at least 6,000 people. As Goni left a trail of devastation in the Philippines, another storm was brewing on the other side of the world. Hurricane Eta bore down on Nicaragua, damaging homes, tearing down power lines and causing flash flooding. 2020 has seen more storms from the Atlantic ocean than ever in recorded history.

Retour d'Amplitudes sur les ondes pour une 7e saison ! Et pour fêter notre récidive et le saint passage à 2h d'antenne, on a choisi de faire évoluer un peu le concept pour passer à des émissions un peu plus thématiques. On a donc commencé sur les chapeaux de roue avec une spéciale NOISE ! La sale, la violence, celle qui suinte la haine et déchaîne les sueurs froides ou chaudes. On y parle (un peu) des débuts "historiques", des grands acteurs de la noise, et on y parle (surtout) de ce que la noise a légué à d'autres courants moins extrêmes, et comment la recherche de radicalité s'émancipe parfois du phénomène de mode pour opérer une convergence avec les sonorités noise plus "originelles".

Tonight's discussion is about Superstorms. Over the years America has been impacted with some very tense, violent, deadly storms including tropical storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Just recently in Oklahoma there were multiple tornadoes that caused severe damage and changed the lives of many people as thousands were left with their homes in rubble, hundreds injured, and dozens killed. This is a serious concern across the nation and one that is unfortunately out of our hands but though we can't control the weather we can brace ourselves and reduce the # of casualties and injuries dramatically by educating ourselves and realizing that any of us in any state, any town, any city or county can all be victimized. Superstorms are unbias and when they strike, they strike full force. Let's stop leaving our safety and livelyhood in the hands of the weathermen because all they can do is let us know the weather they can't make decisions for us once it's arrived. As we close our week with HTT (Hot Topic Thursday), we want to discuss something real that has a significant impact on society and our well being. It doesn't get any realer than this. If you'd like to listen to the live show on your phone or even join in on the discussion and share your opinion the #  is (347) 838-9540. Call in tonight at 9PM EST.
