Forget merely about melting polar ice caps—expansion of deadly diseases is possibly the true Pandora's Box that climate change is rapidly opening. In this episode of Reversing Climate Change, host Ross Kenyon is rejoined by Zoya Teirstein, staff writer at Grist, to discuss the intricate and chilling intersection of climate change and disease. The way Zoya puts it, climate change is taking the Earth and shaking it like a snowglobe: pathogens are meeting up in new configurations and wreaking havoc. She covers these proliferating diseases and their connection to climate change in her timely beat at Grist. Learn how bacteria is traveling up the coast due to warming temperatures - accessing geographies where doctors are not familiar and not prepared to deal with the resulting, often fatal, illnesses. Beyond the rising temperatures creating breeding grounds for deadly mosquitoes, and disrupted ecosystems with unpredictable consequences, the episode explores the challenging discussions around managed retreat and adaptation. While the threat of mass death from heat waves exceeds critical thresholds, the conversation also unveils rays of hope—community resilience, the potential for preventable deaths through early action, and the ultimate cure lying in reversing climate change. This critical wake-up call and call to action underscore the urgency of addressing the disease dilemmas caused by climate change. Share, discuss, and unite in the fight for a healthier planet.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Sara Marcus, assistant professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, about her recent book Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis. Then, Emma is joined by Zoya Teirstein, climate change and health reporter at Grist, to discuss her recent reporting on climate change-related illnesses. Emma starts off by highlight reporting in Bloomberg that showed how the city of Minneapolis had beaten back inflation in no small part due to a concerted effort to build more affordable housing in the city. Emma also touches upon Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro's visit to Eagle Pass, Texas, as he surveyed the absolutely evil conditions Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had set up at the Southern border to control and deter migration. Then Emma is joined by Sara, and they begin their conversation by specifying what the moments of "political disappointment" in American history are per her scholarship, and what are the specific characteristics that makes these moments correlate with one another. As Sarah explains, these moments (starting with Reconstruction and ending with the response to the AIDS crisis in the 1980's) bear similarities in the cultural responses to them. Emma notes that the moments that Sara highlights, that of "political disappointment" aren't monocultural historical moments from the 1960's, but ones that center on marginalized communities. Sara observes how the narratives of "progress" perpetuated in American history are ones that are clearly rebutted and contradicted by the experiences of marginalized communities, as writers like WEB Dubois observed in their writings. They then touch on another moment outlined in Sara's research, the Civil Rights Movement, and how her thesis manifested in ideological and strategic conflict between Martin Luther King Jr. & Stokely Carmichael, and how that conflict was ultimately exacerbated by the people reporting on and historicizing it. They jump back in time to Sara's research on the 1930's, specifically the quarrels that characterized the politics surrounding the New Deal, specifically within the American Communist movement in the fight against fascism, and how the factionalism at the time complicated and blurred the lines of racial coalitions at the time. Emma reflects on how some of these notions that Sara outlines, and how they show some strong parallels with some of the disaffection of young voters on the Left who, galvanized by Bernie Sanders' 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, are unsure of what may come in the future that may replicate that, if anything. They touch on the feminist movement in the 1960's and 1970's, before ending the conversation on Sara's section on the AIDS crisis. Then, Emma speaks with Zoya, and asks her to react to some of the footage coming out of the island of Maui in Hawaii, that's been besieged by raging wildfires. Zoya observes that this summer has been a summer of weather extremes across the country, and that the situation in Maui is no different. Emma asks Zoya if she thinks there's been a larger media reckoning in how climate change has been covered, seeing now that, in the context of the air quality issues in New York City earlier in the summer, that extreme weather issues have come home to everyone nationwide as opposed to the protection from them some may expect on the East Coast in urban centers. Emma and Zoya then dive into her reporting in Grist, and how Samoa and its residents, as well as its physicians, have been on the forefront of climate-related illness, both experiencing it and treating it, and, in Zoya's estimation, it'd be a mistake for medical practitioners to not try and emulate early treatment methods that Samoan doctors are developing. Emma asks Zoya what she thinks are some heat and climate-related illnesses may become more and more prominent as extreme weather events begin to become more and more common. Emma asks how some of these climate-related illnesses, like fungal-based illnesses or illnesses like dengue fever, are able to migrate when they may have been previously unable to, and how lower-income areas with less supported water and sanitation infrastructure can be even more adversely affected by this disease migration. They end the conversation by touching on Zoya's most recent piece, about the heat-related illnesses found in people in Phoenix, Arizona, after 31 straight days of over 110 degree heat. Zoya, trying to stem the tide of doomerism, ultimately does qualify that there have been serious and encouraging medical breakthroughs to help mitigate these issues (whew!). And in the Fun Half,  Emma is joined by Brandon and Binder as they break down Michael Knowles hawking an abortion reversal pill, Fox News highlighting a Mom on TikTok...bemoaning American capitalism??, Matt Walsh complains that people care more about the fate of hummingbirds than the fate of white people, and Twitter flack Linda Yaccarino tries to claim that X (??) is even safer than it was a year ago (Binder, you'd be surprised, doesn't agree with this!).

The Western U.S. is experiencing a period of dryness so extreme that some experts say it no longer qualifies as just a drought. Rather, it might be described as a more transformative trend of “aridification” — the most significant drought to descend on the American West in 1,200 years, according to Zore Teirstein (pictured) from Grist magazine.

Andy Teirstein composes for film, opera, and movement theater and he finds inspiration in the folk roots of modern culture and as a folk fiddle and banjo player. His new album, “Restless Nation,” reflects, musically, on his many travels.Andy's early life reflects an eclectic background comprised of music, clown work, exploration, and acting. A vagabond by nature, his travels have helped bring strangers together, shatter stereotypes and open our minds to limitless possibility.  The Village Voice said Andy's music "seems to speak in celestial accents of some utopia whose chief industry is dancing." A must listen! Also on Speaking of Travel is Tina Kinsey from the Asheville Regional Airport to share tips on what you will need to know about air travel this summer.

Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel. This week we speak with composer Andy Teirstein about his new contemporary classical music album, “Restless Nation” and play selections from it. Like his music, Teirstein is hard to categorize. Born in New York City to a Jewish family, he quickly diverted from his classical piano and violin lessons and formed folk bands in his youth. Later, he joined a wilderness school's itinerant bus and he traveled around the United States while hiking, working in local communities -- and absorbing their music. These travels and his subsequent varied occupations can be heard in his compositions, whether as a field hand, a clown, an actor, or a university professor. The inspiration for the new album's pieces comes from all over the globe, too, including here in Israel. We've played selections of “Restless Nation” throughout the conversation. One piece includes Israeli oud player Yair Dalal and was inspired by a camel trek with Bedouin in the Arava Desert which ended each night with fire-side jam sessions deep into the night. [caption id="attachment_2732495" align="alignnone" width="600"] Fire-side musical jam with Bedouin, oud player Yair Dalal and composer Andy Teirstein. (courtesy)[/caption] There is a whole cast of other leading musicians recorded on the album, including Teirstein himself on a haunting harmonica solo in his piece, "Letter to Woody," based on archival documents he found in the Woody Guthrie library. Today, Teirstein is a professor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He is also active in coexistence arts initiatives, such as the Translucent Boundaries project, which was founded in Israel and since expanded globally. It seeks to bring together the music and dance from peoples who share borders. A big thanks to Navona Records for granting permission for use of the album tracks. "Restless Nation" can now be streamed or purchased. Choose your platform here. Watch "Cluck Old Hen" here.

So many candidates, so little time! If you’re curious what some of the Democratic contenders for president are proposing when it comes to climate change, fasten your seatbelt. From plans to reach net zero emissions by 2045 to investments in direct air capture technology, the presidential hopefuls each have an ambitious climate platform. Who has the most aggressive approach? What are some of the more unique initiatives? And how achievable are the policy proposals currently on the table?   Zoya Teirstein is a climate reporter for Grist, an environment and climate change media platform based in Seattle. Her work has been featured in Mother Jones, Salon and The Verge, among many other publications. Today, Zoya joins Alexsandra and Ross to explain why climate change has become part of the cultural zeitgeist for the first time. She walks us through several of the presidential candidates’ climate plans, covering Biden’s shifting approach, Inslee’s comprehensive policy, and Warren’s initiative to green the military.    Zoya also shares why an all-of-the-above approach is controversial, how feasible it would be to institute a carbon tax, and why there is a growing call for a separate climate debate.  Listen in for insight into where Bernie, Beto and Booker stand on climate change and learn what Mayor Pete, Michael Bennet and John Delaney are proposing in terms of climate policy.   Key Takeaways   [0:48] Zoya’s path to reversing climate change  Read story about drought in Syria in Grist Made own major writing on climate change   [2:16] Why climate change is in the cultural zeitgeist for the first time Trump administration’s war on environment Widespread youth movement frame as moral issue AOC’s introduction of Green New Deal Urgency in scientific reports (e.g.: IPCC)   [8:20] Joe Biden’s shifting approach to climate change Widespread condemnation of ‘middle of the road’ policy Shifted to net zero emissions by 2020, $5T climate plan   [12:39] Why an all-of-the-above approach is controversial Includes coal and natural gas Natural gas + fracking industry downplay methane emissions   [14:07] The growing call for a climate debate Touches all other issues Endorsed by 14 candidates   [19:53] Jay Inslee’s comprehensive climate policy WA just passed suite of clean energy bills Running as climate candidate ($9T plan) Includes international component   [24:33] Elizabeth Warren’s approach to climate change No drilling on public lands Green the military (one of biggest emitters) Invest in low carbon tech + push out to world Put Americans to work in green economy   [29:29] Bernie Sanders and Beto O’Rourke’s climate plans Sanders yet to release policy (long history as climate hawk) O’Rourke promise net zero emissions by 2050   [31:42] Cory Booker’s Environmental Justice Plan  Pro nuclear energy, boost to EPA Pay for pollution policy with companies   [32:52] Pete Buttigieg's approach to climate change Strong record as mayor of South Bend, IN Climate policy initiatives on website (supports GND)   [34:09] Michael Bennet’s climate plan Centrist candidate Farming-centric package   [35:29] John Delaney’s plan for climate change Introduce price on carbon Invest in direct air capture technology Fund by ending fossil fuel subsidies   [40:28] Zoya’s insight on the feasibility of a carbon tax Delaney’s plan = revenue neutral Eliminates 90% of emissions by 2050   [44:44] Bill Weld’s position on climate change Challenge Trump from inside Republican party Middle of the road, transition away from fossil fuels   Connect with Ross & Christophe   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Grist Zoya on Grist Zoya on Twitter “How Climate Change Worsened Violence in Syria” in Grist  Green New Deal IPCC 2018 Report on Climate Change 2018 National Climate Assessment “We Broke Down What Climate Change Will Do, Region by Region” in Grist Diamond Joe Biden in The Onion “Presidential Hopeful Biden Looking for ‘Middle Ground’ Climate Policy” in Reuters Sunrise Movement Joe Biden’s Climate Plan  Todd Tanner’s Conservation Hawks Washington Initiative 1631 Jay Inslee’s Climate Plan Paris Agreement Elizabeth Warren’s Plan to Green the Military The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World by Jeff Goodell “How Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal is Being Built” in Grist Justice Democrats Oil Change USA No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge Cory Booker’s Environmental Justice Plan Nathaneal Johnson on Grist “Mayor Pete: 2020’s Stealth Climate Candidate” in Grist Pete Buttigieg’s Climate Policy Michael Bennet’s Climate Policy John Delaney’s Plan for Climate Change Andrew Yang on Carbon Removal Newsroom The Daily Podcast Chernobyl on HBO

By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change—including how to stop it. The New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of a handful of scientists who embarked on a decade-long scientific struggle to convince the world to act before it was too late. Rich joined us with Losing Earth, a book-length expansion on that explosive article. He took the stage and met with Grist writer Zoya Teirstein to share a chronicle of the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age. Rich revealed, in previously unreported detail, the birth of climate denialism and the genesis of the fossil fuel industry’s coordinated effort to thwart climate policy through misinformation propaganda and political influence. Join Rich and Teirstein for an urgent conversation about the moral framework of climate change that is essential for understanding how we got here, and how we must go forward. Nathaniel Rich is the author of the novels King Zeno, Odds Against Tomorrow, and The Mayor’s Tongue. He is a writer at large for The New York Times Magazine and a regular contributor to The Atlantic and The New York Review of Books. Zoya Teirstein is a news writer at Grist. Her work has appeared in The Verge, Mother Jones, Business Insider, HuffPost, Salon, Slate, and others. Recorded live at The Summit by Town Hall Seattle on April 26, 2019.

A Blessing on the Moon is a new music-theater work composed by Andy Teirstein, and based on the novel by Teirstein’s collaborator, Joseph Skibell (the novel was published by Algonquin Books, 1997). Joseph Skibell often describes A Blessing on the Moon as “a novel masquerading as a folk tale.” Andy Teirstein describes his musical adaptation as “an opera masquerading as a folk spiel.” The journey of Chaim Skibelski, who has just been shot dead, and his Rabbi, who is now a crow, as they wander through Poland searching for an afterlife, lends itself easily to the genre of music-theater. Words, music and movement can be expressive of the edges of experience explored in the magical realism of this epic narrative, which contains wry humor, poetry, and a sharp sense of each character's perspective, even extending to the Polish family that has moved into the protagonist’s home, and the German soldier who has shot him.
