50% of all new cars are SUV's, which may come as a surprise to you, considering the various noises around the world about moves to green transport.

March 25, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 41.9 MB

When people think about environmentalists, the next words they probably say are, "Oh, like Extinction Rebellion?" The impact of XR on the the climate movement probably can't be over stated.

Green energy has never been cheaper, so why aren't we transitioning faster? With Brett Christophers

February 19, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MB

If there is any one word that is synonymous with tackling climate change it is “electrification”. Yes, getting off fossil fuels and taking the majority of CO2 out of our economy are the goals of many working on the climate, but if there was one silver bullet for the climate movement its generating more clean electricity.   Renewable forms of energy have sharply decreased in price over the last twenty years, and battery storage solutions are coming on in leaps and bounds, but most of the wor...

This week we are joined by Peter Kalmus, Climate scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasa...

January 08, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MB

To say the modern world is dependent on materials we dig out of the ground is an understatement. From the lithium in your phone battery to the cup you're drinking your tea in, mining and mineral extraction play a vital part of how survive on earth.

This episode was first broadcast on November 9th 2020 Note: This episode was recorded before the results of the U.S election were published.  How do we define the success of a city? Or a country?

July 03, 2023 06:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MB

Can we sail to Zero Carbon global trade?

June 05, 2023 06:00 - 58 minutes - 40 MB

In 1950, world shipping was roughly half a million tonnes of cargo. As of 2019 it's now 11 billion tonnes. A mind blogging increase in 70 years.  Shipping  is one of the most resistant and slow sectors to clean up its climate act, with only a commitment to reduce emissions by 50% from the International Maritime Organisation at 2050.  So what can we do to green maritime trade? And has the answer been blowing in the wind all this time? This week Ads and Andrew are joined by Dr Christiaan De...

  The IPCC report always comes as a splash for those in the climate movement, ringing the alarm bells ever more about our planet's awful condition. But who writes it?

Dangerous Assumptions

April 10, 2023 06:00 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MB

What's that old line? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes is a sign of madness. There is plenty of consensus around what we should be doing to mitigate the worst affects of climate breakdown, but if all the methods we are using the ones that got us in this predicament in the first place, chances are they're not going to work. Is the dominant climate strategy built on a series of dangerous assumptions?  This week on the show we are joined by Ben See. ...

Why do so many of those in power communicate on climate so poorly? This week on the show we are joined by Dr. Genevieve Guenther. Genevieve ...

You might be forgiven thinking that something as huge and undeniable as climate change would manage to stay out of the way of the madness that is right wing culture wars. And you'd be wrong.
