Stranger than (Climate) Fiction
December 12, 2023 10:00 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MBWhat is the role of literature in the climate policy and technology discussion? How does the genre allow us to explore uncomfortable climate scenarios, including those to do with heat death and direct action? While ultimately successful, the path laid out in the book is very bumpy, volatile, and rife with violence – strikingly different from the smooth and orderly transition often offered up by politicians and techno-optimists. On S5E7 of Energy vs Climate, David, Sara, Ed, and New York Tim...
Energy vs IEA Oil and Gas Scenarios
December 04, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBPublished each year, the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) World Energy Outlook (WEO) is a leading source of scenario-based analysis of global energy demand and supply.

Transmission vs Climate
October 29, 2023 15:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBLong distance and interregional transmission lines promise to increase reliability, mitigate the impact of extreme weather events, and provide electricity consumers with access to low-cost resources. They are an important piece of the energy transition puzzle. But despite the well documented benefits of long-distance transmission, to date there has been limited progress in building out interties across North America. What lessons can we draw from the early days of renewable development tha...

October 05, 2023 07:00 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBSince the Paris Agreement coming into force in 2016, world leaders have increasingly emphasized the need to keep warming to the 1.5°C target by the end of this century, in order to avoid more dangerous impacts from climate change. Yet temperature readings around the globe show that the world has already warmed by roughly 1°C on average above pre-industrial levels. Many models suggest we will very likely exceed 1.5°C of warming, possibly in the next 5-10 years, in the absence of aggressive wo...

U.S. Policy vs Climate
October 26, 2022 15:00 - 48 minutes - 33.7 MBAfter months of uncertainty the United States passed the biggest climate bill in its history, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
