    The KJ Show Episode 101: #Climate Contradictions
    Sep 4 2024
    The truth is slowly coming out as more environmental activists realize the grave damage caused by renewable energies. Our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss some surprising stories that didn't make the news in today's show.



    For example, Green Party members in Australia now oppose wind turbines. In contrast, others support nuclear power as a clean, renewable energy technology.



    Furthermore, according to a group of climate scientists, global warming rates are lower than expected, which contradicts the gloomy predictions of an imminent catastrophe.

    The KJ Show Episode #99: Trees- A Shady Climate Solution
    Aug 21 2024
    Trees have been described as the "lungs" of the Earth. Besides shading us on hot days, trees store carbon, create diverse habitats, and beautify our Earth. However, while carbon offsets to plant trees are going in popularity, recent studies suggest that we don't have the right kind of trees or enough of them to meet these lofty goals.



    On today's show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss how trees are helping utilities reduce energy usage, but the best approach is to leave trees alone.

    The KJ Show Episode 98: #Falling Short of Net #Zero Goals
    Aug 7 2024
    More than 200 companies are failing to meet their net-zero pledges because these pledges are unrealistic and unattainable. Air New Zealand was one of the most recent companies to admit that it can't meet these goals because "there are so many levers outside of our control."


    But the real issue is there is no agreed upon definition of "net zero." How is "net" calculated, and are those estimates accurate or simply aspirational?


    On today's show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss the confusion and surroundingg "net zero" pledges.

    On today’s show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss the promise and pitfalls of solar ovens.

    The KJ Show Episode 96: Electrification and Elections
    Jul 10 2024
    The European Union (EU) presents itself as a decarbonization pioneer. Its ambitious policies want to transform Europe into the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. But the recent elections, combined with the growing “green backlash,” may now squash many of those plans.

    Are the European election results a harbinger of pushback in the US? The tides are already turning with the Supreme Court’s recent ruling against the Chevon Defense, which allowed the EPA to intervene in state policies.

    What will the November 5 election results mean to electrification policies across the US?

    The KJ Show Episode 95: Indoor AG: Is It Just a Pipe Dream?
    Jun 26 2024
    Indoor agriculture, another name for marijuana cultivation, is a booming business. While electric utilities are promoting the use of indoor grow lights, growing pots also creates a surge in CO2 emissions.


    The US Department of Energy, US Environmental Protection Agency and industry data all determined that growing cannabis indoors leads to higher greenhouse gas emissions in the Mountain West, Midwest, Alaska and Hawaii compared to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Moreover, researchers found that one serving of cannabis contributes more greenhouse gas emissions than a serving of beer, wine, spirits, cigarettes, or coffee.


    Although environmentalists advocate a no-meat diet because cows have levels of GHG emissions they don't hold the cannabis industry to the same standards.

    Jun 19 2024
    When does science become settled? Truthfully, science is never settled, but that is not what the schools, colleges and universities are teaching about climate change. Climate science is viewed as an undisputable fact, and the educational community stifles any debate to the contrary.


    Has climate education become a propaganda tool, or is it a scientific fact? On today's show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will discuss how climate science is being taught at American schools—and how this deviates from established teaching paradigms such as the "scientific method."
