  • Resumen

  • We all know about the doom and gloom associated with environmental issues. We need to tell ourselves a new story. Instead let's talk about energy independence, green jobs, livable cities, clean water, clean air, and healthy children. This is where politics, perceptions, and life-style meet the catastrophe that is unfolding in front of our eyes. Here's a suggestion — subscribe, tune-in, and stop doom-scrolling.

  • Letters of Warning and Hope: Climate Scientists Write About the Crisis
    Jun 13 2024

    Hundreds of climate scientists were asked this simple question: “What do you feel about climate change.”
    The result was poignant, angry, bewildered, and in some cases hopeful letters from climate scientists that most importantly, spell out what we need to do to avoid the calamity that is barreling rapidly toward us.
    Climate change is a complex and intimidating threat. You can't see it when you look out your bedroom window. Its impacts are often not immediately noticeable, nor are the benefits of acting against it.
    Luckily there are a large group of passionate individuals who have dedicated their lives to studying climate change. These people write complex research papers, unpacking every aspect of climate change, analysing it thoroughly and clinically.
    They understand the numbers, the facts and the figures. They know what is causing it, what the impacts will be and how we can minimise these impacts.
    But they're not clinical: distant and unemotional. These scientists are mothers, fathers, grandparents, daughters. They are real people. And they're concerned.
    Listen to the end where we share the only historically demonstrated, scientifically proven, socially supported method of turning the battleship of climate and ecological destruction around. And the best part? It involves you.

  • Climate Crisis vs. Culture Wars: The Green Backlash
    Jun 4 2024

    This year elections are taking place across the globe covering almost half of the world’s population. It is also likely to be, yet again, the hottest year on record as the climate crisis intensifies.
    Around the world, nations are choosing to prioritize economic growth and national interest over climate policy.
    There are worrying signs of a green backlash - or green lash - are rising, as citizens and businesses start feeling the costs of the energy transition.
    Globally, voters are anxious about the cost of living, while green regulations are starting to affect the stuff of daily life — what cars people buy and how they heat their homes.
    Do you choose a heat pump in your house? What car are you going to drive? These are emotional things to people.
    Climate isn’t a core issue for most voters the way the economy and security are. But the flag-waving right has made climate policy another culture-wars flash point — an example in their eyes of costly, intrusive overreach that compromises personal choice and national sovereignty.
    Much of the right believes that the bigger threat "is not climate change; it’s the actions taken by governments to decarbonize economies.
    This is not good news —We are literally in a fight for Heaven and Earth.
    Tune in and listen to the end where we give you, not only some much need hope, but your role in this hot mess.

  • Climate End-Game: This is Not Your Daddy's Gloom & Doom
    May 30 2024

    The Climate End-Game is when global temperatures exceed 3°+ Celsius over this next century and beyond.
    If that were to occur, there could be multiple tipping points sparking each other at the same time, jacking the scorching heat even higher.
    Scientists say the world needs to think about a worst-case climate senerio. A team of international researchers says we need to start preparing for the possibility of a "climate endgame" as extreme weather events keep ravaging the planet.
    They tell us the risk that global warming could lead to not only collapse of civilization, but to human extinction is dangerously under-explored.
    With our overheated planet, we have had so many apocalyptic warnings that it has spawned a whole industry of books (Cli-Fi), movies, and video-games — a kind of disaster voyeurism.
    At the moment, the chances of going over 4°C. are small, but this is our first climate catastrophe party that we have thrown, so it’s all speculation.
    We need to be realistic about the four horsemen of the Climate Endgame: famine, extreme weather, conflict, and infectious diseases. The ultimate purpose of this area of study would be about better understanding, which prevents the worst case scenario and being prepared for it.
    We have already baked billion of tons of carbon into our oceans and atmosphere, so no matter what preventative actions we take, the temperatures and the chaos will plague us for the next century.
    Of course, we all know the solution: we must largely stop burning fossil fuels within a decade, period. If we fail, then we risk crossing tipping points that could push global climate chaos out of humanity’s control.
    In the episode we also explore concepts of gloom and doom vs. giving the public the facts of our dire situation so they can be part of the solution.
    While that’s all very nice, keep in mind that we have the technology of the gods and the politics of narcissistic children. Will we meet the challenge, or amuse ourselves to annihilation?
    At the end of this episode, we share a historically proven, scientifically supported, researched verified method of solving the climate monster we have unleashed. In fact, it may be the only hope we have.
