Such a brilliant talk . Everything is said by I could have said myself. One thing can be added . How about the wars that pollute and their bombs erc. Fireworks , To me they are the worst for the Global Warming. đ¤đĽ´đ¤˘
If America withdraws from the Paris agreement, maybe through different collaborations of nations (such as brics, perhaps) the climate movement in all its iterations will stop focusing on the USA as some sort of lynchpin - we need to turn our attention to the rest of the world. If other nation partnerships are given the same exposure afforded the Whitehouse perhaps we can stop tying ourselves in knots over the egos at play there. I understand that the USA is powerful, but itâs not the only player
Missing from the fundamental international goals is a minimum and steadily rising economy-wide carbon price on all fossil fuels. bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-presentation
The sun is suppiosed to warm our planet. Our sun doesenât seem to have natural fluctuating activity and energy output cycles that move between peaks and vallleys in easilly observable and predictable short cycles and long cycles of unknown interwalls, impossible to observe. Another constant, seems to be the earths orbit. When you dont even take in account the effects on climate by two of the most influecial cycles on earths climate in our solarsystem, then climate change is suspect.
Vote 3rd party Jill Stein is a green party candidate who cares more about the environment than both Biden and Trump combined. She is also very much against the genocide and ecocide happening in Gaza. Saying Biden is our only option is the one thing I have strongly disagreed with from listening to this podcast. He is not the only option.
always entertaining, always motivating. always informative and thought ful.
A suggestion for a specific system change: a steadily rising carbon fee on fossil fuel production in all countries (and CBAMs for the laggards). Rebate all the money collected to from coal, oil, & gas producers to all households on an equal per-capita basis each month. Set the price schedule to match the IPCCâs minimum target price for a 1.5°C goal as specified in the https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ - $135 by 2030 and rising a minimum of $8 a year through 2100. See bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-pdf
Great show as always. But ever since the IPCC SR15, the way I judge the success or failure of each COP is whether or not there is a global agreement to price GHG pollution along the minimum price level specified by the IPCC: $135/tCO2e in 2030 and rising at least $8/year through 2100. How to do it equitably: carboncashback.org/carbon-cash-back. The US carbon price gap is growing: bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-pdf.
An economic crisis, thousands struggling to pay the mortgage due to high interest rates and increased number using foodbanks/on welfare. Please stop saying weâre privileged. Itâs divisive, it doesnât help
Definitely the most pleasant and yet motivational podcast on clinate change. My absolute favorite.
With respect to consumerism, there is plenty we can and need to spend on right now...green infrastructure. Maybe it's not as impulsive but it feels a lot better for a lot longer. Thanks for a great podcast and inspiring guests!

Great episode, and full of useful info. As has probably been mentioned elsewhere, my only quibble is that they were all abbreviations but not actually acronyms (which are pronounced as words)??!!
