To tackle climate change, we need good stories and we need good storytellers. Kim Stanley Robinson is a climate fiction author who has written more than 20 novels, including Ministry for the Future, which was published in 2020. It opens in 2025, with a heatwave that kills millions in India. It's a grim scene, and what follows is the story of humans striving to cope with an increasingly inhospitable planet — there's ecoterrorism, high-finance, wild chases over the Swiss Alps. What emerges in Ministry is the a ‘optopian' roadmap, in which the world gets to grips with the climate crisis and begins to rectify the situation. In the first of three episodes talking with climate storytellers on Zero, we hear from Robinson about how he crafts a good story out of a desperate situation, what he thinks the limits of climate storytelling are, and how his thinking has changed since publishing Ministry for the Future.

A hotter planet is also a smokier one, as residents of New York City are finding out this week. As the intensity and size of wildfires grows, more and more people are being exposed to dangerously unhealthy air. Just how dangerous? Oscar Boyd asks Akshat Rathi to explain the health effects of exposure to intense air pollution. It's not a new problem, but it's a growing one and many of us will need to learn how to deal with the risks.

Endangered whales getting hit by container ships. Sharks dying on hooks intended for other fish. Pesticides wiping out bees by the millions. Scientists and entrepreneurs are testing new ways to use artificial intelligence and other technologies to try to protect threatened creatures from harm. Bloomberg reporter Todd Woody joins this episode to talk about a project that uses computers to listen across oceans for whales--and automatically warn ship captains when they're on a collision course with a giant underwater mammal. We visit a company in the UK working on a device that sends a signal to repel sharks from fishing lines. And reporter Coco Liu describes a new food supplement for bees that turbo-charges their energy levels and replaces nutrients lost to habitat destruction.

Plastic straws are designed to be used once, but they remain in the environment forever, contributing to the ocean pollution crisis. In recent weeks, multinational corporations like Starbucks, Bacardi, Alaska Airlines and others have committed to addressing the problem at its source by pledging to eliminate single-use plastic straws. In this episode of Deeply Talks, Todd Woody, News Deeply’s executive editor for environment, discusses this phenomenon with Dune Ives, executive director of the environmental group Lonely Whale, whose “Stop Sucking” campaign helped kickstart the movement.

This episode of Deeply Talks is live from the Economist World Ocean Summit in Mexico! Todd Woody, News Deeply’s executive editor for environment, talks with Fernando Secaira, director of climate & risk resilience Mexico for the Nature Conservancy, Mark Way, corporate climate lead at The Nature Conservancy, about a new public-private consortium that is taking out an insurance policy on a 37-mile (60km) section of the Mesoamerican Reef off Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula. We’ll talk about why the government, the tourism industry, insurer Swiss Re and the Nature Conservancy have joined forces to insure a section of the reef, how the insurance policy will help preserve the corals and whether such financial innovations could help protect imperiled coral reefs elsewhere.
