Counter Crisis

In 2016, Cyclone Winston devastated Fiji – flattening villages, cutting power, and leaving hundreds of thousands in urgent need. But as the crisis unfolded, aid stalled. Bureaucracy delayed funding, costing time and lives. Nine years later, the system remains broken. Disaster response is fragmented, and vulnerable nations are left waiting. With foreign aid shrinking and the next crisis inevitable, how can we fix it before it's too late? In this episode, Tortoise editor Jeevan Vasagar talks to Kathy Baughman McLeod and Dan Lund about how pre-arranged financing could finally break the costly cycle of response and recovery. Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Counter Crisis is brought to you by the Centre for Disaster Protection, which helps countries find better ways to manage disaster risk – protecting lives, livelihoods, and economies before crisis strikes.

Iconic outfit Tortoise have influenced a kaleidoscopic range of artists throughout their forty year career. Arguably, their legacy outweighs their output — they’ve released only seven albums since 1990. Needless to say, we are very happy to share their first new music in almost ten years  — the melodic and crunchy “Oganesson” forecasts more good things to come.

90 Miles From Needles with Chris Clarke and Alicia Pike

Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke looks into three astonishing science facts about deserts that challenge traditional views of these arid landscapes. From the surprising biological interactions involving desert tortoises and ticks to the hidden carbon-sequestering prowess of desert soils, the episode showcases desert ecosystems, their intricate balance, and the sometimes unexpected roles they play. This episode provides a fresh perspective on how deserts contribute to global environmental stability and why they merit protection. The first segment of the episode highlights the intriguing relationship between desert tortoises and ticks, specifically the role tortoises play in reducing the prevalence of tick-borne diseases like tick-borne relapsing fever. Clarke discusses research by Dr. Molly June Bechtel, which reveals that desert tortoises possess a blood factor that reduces harmful Borrelia bacteria, thereby offering insights into the greater ecological importance of these critically endangered reptiles. In another surprising desert fact, Clarke explores the soil carbon sequestration abilities of arid ecosystems. Despite popular misconceptions, deserts store immense amounts of carbon, thanks to unique geological and biological processes such as calcium carbonate formation and glomalin production by mycorrhizal fungi. These findings emphasize the critical environmental role deserts play and their potential impact on mitigating climate change. The episode concludes with a fascinating examination of desert pavement, a geological phenomenon that stabilizes loose sediment and contributes to air quality by preventing dust pollution. Clarke describes how desert pavement forms over time and its ecological benefits, like housing viable wildflower seed banks. This episode not only captivates with revelations about the intricate mechanisms at play in desert environments but also reinforces the necessity of preserving these ecosystems for their environmental and health benefits. Key Takeaways Desert tortoises host ticks, which have a low incidence of Borrelia due to a bactericidal factor in tortoise blood, aiding in controlling tick-borne diseases. America's deserts act as significant carbon sinks, sequestering over 55 million tons of carbon annually through soil processes like glomalin production and caliche formation. Desert pavements, formed over time through wind and water interactions, play vital roles in air quality and soil stability. Protecting desert ecosystems is crucial, not only for conserving biodiversity but also for their role in reducing climate change impacts and preventing the spread of diseases. The podcast emphasizes the various misunderstood yet essential ecological functions of deserts, advocating for their conservation. Notable Quotes "One desert tortoise has done more for human public health than an entire RFK junior." "We may actually be making climate change worse in the long term by destroying the desert to put in solar power." "A feature of the landscape that's about as innocuous as you can imagine turns out to clean our air of asthma-inducing dust." "If we're going to get through this really ugly period, it's going to have to be about the love."

Memecoins started as a fad. A niche but fun way to bet on the longevity of internet trends. But then, days before his second inauguration, Donald Trump launched his own, $TRUMP… and changed the game. The value soared as supporters piled in, before crashing when his wife, Melania Trump, also released one. Amid the mayhem, one early buyer of the coin walked away with $109 million.The path to finding out who profited from $TRUMP goes through Argentina, where a young and naive entrepreneur called Hayden Davis attempted to pull off a similar stunt with the backing of the nation's libertarian president, Javier Milei. But while Trump seemed to get away with it, Davis is now facing calls to be arrested.This episode offers a rare glimpse into a murky world full of get-rich-quick schemes, flashy personalities and cut-throat deals. It also carries a warning: what happens when unregulated crypto assets become a core part of the US economy?Reporter: Patricia Clarke and Barney MacintyreProducer: Patricia ClarkeSound design: Dominic DelargyArtwork: Lola WilliamsEditors: Jasper Corbett and Ceri ThomasTo find out more about Tortoise:Download the Tortoise app – for a listening experience curated by our journalistsSubscribe to Tortoise+ on Apple Podcasts for early access and ad-free contentBecome a member and get access to all of Tortoise's premium audio offerings and moreIf you want to get in touch with us directly about a story, or tell us more about the stories you want to hear about contact hello@tortoisemedia.com Hosted on Acast.
