Podcasts about wildfires

We know the planet is getting hotter because of human-induced climate change. But just how hot could it get?In this show, Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar chat to NASA scientist, Kate Marvel, about the world of climate modelling. Kate has spent decades trying to work out what will happen to the Earth as emissions of carbon dioxide increase. Although the basic facts of climate change are settled, climate modellers are trying to understand how photosynthesis by plants will change in a warmer world. And they're also puzzling over the crucial role played by clouds! Recently, Kate has written Human Nature, a book about how climate change affects our emotions - from grief and anger to hope and love. She says the wide range of feelings prompted by global warming are compatible with getting the science right.Hosts: Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar Guest: Kate Marvel, Climate scientist and author Production Team: Nik Sindle, Diane Richardson, Brenda Brown Sound Mix: Phil Bull and Tom Brignell Editor: Simon WattsIf you have a question for the team, email: TheClimateQuestion@BBC.com or WhatsApp: +44 8000 321 721Image credit: Wildfires in California, Reuters

Even police chiefs in Minnesota are calling out ICE tactics as race-based and out of line. This week, Alex focuses on what comes next — from conditions at ICE detention centers, to the long-term impacts this lawless use of force will have on communities. First Alex speaks to David Wilson, an immigration attorney in Minneapolis about the horrible treatment and lack of medical care his clients are facing. Then she's joined by MS NOW Political and National Correspondent, Jacob Soboroff, to talk about what he's seeing on the ground in Minneapolis, how Trump 2.0 immigration enforcement compares to the family separation policy he covered during the first term, and his new book “Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster”.

Assemblymember John Harabedian's (D-Pasadena) Mortgage Forbearance Act, has been signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.AB 238, the Mortgage Forbearance Act, provides essential relief to survivors of the Los Angeles Fires by allowing a pause on mortgage payments for up to a year. Fire victims entering into forbearance will not face any penalties or credit damage during the pause in payments. Importantly, the bill also prohibits lenders from requiring lump sum payments at the conclusion of the forbearance period, allowing homeowners to focus on rebuilding.“For months since the fires, survivors have been forced to make two housing payments: one for their temporary rental accommodations and another mortgage payment for a house that either doesn't exist anymore or is uninhabitable due to smoke and ash damage. AB 238 will ease the financial burden that too many families are facing by allowing them to pause their mortgage payments for up to a year while they get back on their feet,” said Assemblymember Harabedian (D-Pasadena).After the fire, Assemblymember Harabedian worked with the Governor to secure initial commitments of 90-day forbearance periods from nearly 400 lenders in California. AB 238 takes effect immediately. If you encounter any difficulties with your servicer, please notify the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) which is charged with ensuring your rights under this new law are upheld. You can also contact Assemblymember Harabedian's district office at (626) 351-1917 for assistance.The Governor's decision has brought us a step closer to recovery.

Jacob Soboroff was one of the reporters on the front lines of last year's devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. For him, the story was also deeply personal: He grew up in the Palisades, one of several neighborhoods engulfed by the flames. In his new book Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster, Soboroff provides a firsthand account of the Palisades and Eaton fires – and tries to understand what went wrong. In today's episode, Soboroff speaks with Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd about witnessing the destruction of his childhood neighborhood and the political aftermath of the fires.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

As wildfires tore through California and forced over 100,000 evacuations, even Leftist celebrities began criticizing LA Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom – and some left the Left altogether. Jillian Michaels, who lost her Malibu home in the 2018 Woolsey fire, tells NewsNation the state's response to wildfires and its COVID lockdown policies changed her views after a lifetime in deep blue California. Amidst the latest Newsom and Bass scandals, two celebrities have taken steps to fix the state: former reality star Spencer Pratt, who lost his home in the Palisades fire, and Trisha Paytas, who says becoming a mother in 2022 made her more concerned about the future of California. Can celebrities save California – and the country – from Gavin Newsom? Jillian Michaels is a fitness expert, entrepreneur, and media personality. She created The Fitness App, which won best-of awards from Google and Apple, and hosts the Apple award-winning podcast Keeping It Real.

Buttery notes. Hints of cherry. A wisp of chocolate. All are desirable tastes in wine. But what happens when the grapes have been exposed to wildfire smoke and the wine tastes more like BBQ or an ashtray? Wine makers and scientists are exploring how to create wines from grapes that may have been tainted by smoke. At a time when the wine industry is facing the headwinds of tariffs, decreasing interest in wine, and climate change, these efforts have taken on more importance. We'll talk about what happens when smoke gets in your wine. Guests: Nicola Twilley, contributor, New Yorker Magazine.

What's it like to lose everythign in a wildfire? A KNX reporter knows first-hand, and draws us into her heartbreaking story as KCBS reports on insurance company moves to remove coverage in some states and WWL reports on Chevron fighting a $74 million payout for alleged destruction of wetlands.

Idaho homeowners are seeing insurance premiums rise and policies canceled as fears of catastrophic urban wildfires grow, prompting bipartisan concern at the state capitol. 

In the midst of the one-year anniversary of LA's devastating, off-season wildfires, we're reminded that to live in a time of drastic climate change is to prepare for the improbable. From bigger tornadoes and more severe floods to prolonged droughts and deadly heatwaves, no region is immune to the increasing intensity of natural disasters driven by climate change. The rest of the world is coming face-to-face with the brutal reality that people in the Global South have faced for years — when it comes to climate disasters, it's not a matter of if they'll hit you, but when. But there are things we can do at home and in our communities to adapt before, during, and after disasters. On this episode, we hear from community members around the world about the climate disasters they've experienced and how their communities are adapting. We're speaking with meteorologist Chase Chain about how discussing the weather means discussing climate change. And, we're talking about how to make ourselves and our communities less vulnerable to the effects of climate disasters.

This podcast episode provides a comprehensive overview of current weather conditions and natural events affecting various regions of the United States. The salient point of discussion centers on the notable warmth in the western states juxtaposed with a winter storm impacting the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Additionally, the episode addresses ongoing freezing spray hazards in the Bering Sea and the current status of wildfire incidents, which remain low but are nearing containment in Kentucky, Texas, and Missouri. Other significant updates include new flood maps released by FEMA for Pima County, Arizona, and winter weather advisories for Northern Michigan. We conclude with a reminder to monitor local forecasts for any evolving weather situations and to prioritize safety during adverse conditions.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has reported significantly above normal warmth across the western United States.* In Alaska, freezing spray hazards are currently affecting portions of the Bering Sea, posing risks to mariners.* A prolonged Santa Ana event is anticipated in Southern California, with strong gusts and dry conditions.* Residents of Pima County, Arizona, are encouraged to review newly released flood maps from FEMA.* Winter weather advisories have been issued in Michigan, warning of slippery roads and reduced visibility due to blowing snow.* Flood watches are in effect for parts of Washington State, where minor flooding is a concern due to recent rains.Sources[NWS Anchorage Marine | https://marine.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?product1=Heavy+Freezing+Spray+Warning&warnzone=PKZ414][FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20260112/fema-updates-flood-maps-pima-county][NWS Los Angeles | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS San Diego FWF | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=SGX&product=FWF&site=sgx][NWS Bay Area AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=mtr&product=AFD&site=mtr][NIFC | https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn][NWS — Winter Weather Advisory text | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS Grand Forks/Duluth — WWA/HWO | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=fgf&wwa=all][NIFC | https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn][NWS Seattle — Flood Watch | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=sew&wwa=all][NWS Seattle AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=SEW&product=AFD&site=sew] This is a public episode.

As Idahoans endure weeks of wildfire smoke each summer, a neurologist is warning that what we breathe doesn't just irritate our lungs — it may be harming our brains as well. 

He believes the best way to engage people in matters of science and technology, especially nonscientists, is through stories. A fascinating story that frames the technology issues in understandable terms can capture the interest of a wide audience, therefore, "100 Years to Extinction." is made palatable.He claims society faces a potential 11-foot rise in sea level, more violent storms, and wildfires caused by the climate crisis. There are thirteen thousand nuclear weapons in nine countries, just a small fraction of which could destroy our civilization. Fifty percent of AI experts believe that there is a 10 percent chance that AI could lead to human extinction. Uncontrolled genetic engineering could lead to bioweapons, new deadly viruses, giant soldiers, and new humanoid superspecies. The technology is easy enough to use, so that a kit is available for hobbyists to change the DNA of frogs. Uncontrolled information on the internet's social media is leading to a post truth society. Controlling these technologies is extremely urgent, he says.He is the author of 100 YEARS TO EXTINCTION: The Tyranny of Technology and the Fight for a Better Future. https://100yearstoextinction.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

On January 7, 2025, the Palisades and Eaton Fires erupted, eventually burning down more than 16,000 structures and killing at least 31 people, becoming among the most destructive and deadly wildfires in California's history.  Two Wirecutter writers, Gregory Han and Mike Cohen, lived through the Eaton fire. Both lived in Altadena, just outside Los Angeles. Gregory's home was damaged, while Mike's burned to the ground. They collaborated on an article sharing their biggest lessons of recovery, which Wirecutter published last July, as part of our emergency preparation coverage.  Now, in a special podcast series, they are sharing the biggest lessons they've learned from the past year–—and what they can teach you about how to prepare for a disaster.  Unfortunately, climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent, more intense, and more unpredictable. In the last year alone, we've seen cataclysmic floods in the Texas Hill Country, deadly tornadoes in many parts of the U.S., and increasing flash floods across the country, just to name a few. No one is completely insulated from these types of events.  In this first episode, we'll introduce you to Gregory and Mike, and why they think it's imperative to invest in your community before a disaster.  You can listen to parts two and three of this series here. Part three will be published on Jan. 12. Actionable steps you can take from this episode:Invest in your community before a disaster. Information can be hard to come by during and in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. This is when knowing your neighbors can be invaluable. Both Gregory and Mike relied on neighbors and others in their community for information before, during, and after the fires. They've continued to share resources with this community as they've worked toward recovery over the past year.Create an easy way to communicate with your neighbors. This could be a text chain or a group chat–through something like WhatsApp or GroupMe. Maybe you're already involved with a group that may eventually help in an emergency.

One year ago, as devastating wildfires tore through Los Angeles, nonprofit Baby2Baby was on the ground helping. We're revisiting the conversation Co-CEOs Norah Weinstein and Kelly Sawyer Patricof had on stage with host Jeff Berman in 2025 about what it was like to use everything they'd learned scaling their nonprofit to help their hometown in a moment of crisis.Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/newsletter/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Federal prosecutors say arrests tied to California's homeless services are just beginning after investigators – tipped off by a viral Nick Shirley video – uncovered fraud across multiple states. President Trump has accused California of corruption even worse than Minnesota's multibillion dollar scandal. US Attorney Bill Essayli alleges that real estate executives stole millions from pandemic-era programs, with dozens of active probes underway. Meanwhile, in the wake of the Palisades wildfires, CA Gov. Gavin Newsom is requesting (even more) billions of dollars of federal disaster aid – leaving many CA residents to wonder where their tax dollars have been going.

Ring founder Jamie Siminoff joins the show in studio to tell the unbelievable story of Shark Tank’s biggest mistake. From being rejected on national TV to building a simple garage invention into a $1 billion Amazon acquisition, Jamie takes us behind the scenes of how Doorbot became Ring—and why perseverance mattered more than a deal. Jamie also dives into his journey as a serial entrepreneur, sharing lessons from launching disruptive companies like PhoneTag and Unsubscribe.com, and what he’s learned from a lifetime of inventing and failing forward. Plus, Jamie unveils Fire Watch, a powerful new safety feature launched by Ring and Watch Duty to help communities detect early wildfire and smoke threats. One year after devastating LA fires, he explains how real-time alerts and community-driven data are becoming a lifeline for first responders and residents alike. And in a personal, gripping moment, Jamie recounts how he and his neighbors worked together to save their Palisades homes from the fires, offering real-world insight into preparation, technology, and community action when it matters most. Innovation, resilience, and survival—this episode has it all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dustin Kunkel is a father of two, works in the solar panel business, and is a neighbor of "Marketplace Morning Report" host David Brancaccio. Kunkel lost his Altadena home in the Eaton Fire and, since then, spoke to 30 contractors before finding someone to rebuild the house. We hear what the process — and pricing — has been like. Also, the realities of this economy continue to diverge for lower- and higher-income households.
