  • Really informative and I love the diversity of topics

    I really love this podcast. I was originally recommended it by Professor in an a class on global environmental change. I listened to it months later into my enjoyment and newfound excitement really got a lot out of these podcasts. If you want a introduction or intermediate understanding of a topic, it is great and I highly recommend it.

  • Climate One is an excellent resource for learning & new perspectives

    I first discovered Climate One during broadcasts of the Commonwealth Club on NPR, and have been listening for years. In light of changing politics it’s more important than ever to keep abreast of Climate issues, ideas to resolve them and success stories to help keep us motivated…as well to inspire the next generation!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ENCORE: Benji Backer and Katharine Hayhoe on Finding Common Ground
Q: How can you engage people who are skeptical about climate change without triggering partisan defenses?
By meeting people where they are, focusing on shared values like nature, health, and responsible stewardship, and telling personal, relatable stories that connect climate action to everyday experiences.
ENCORE Dead Heat: The Danger Of Home Power Shutoffs
Q: What are the main drivers of rising electricity shutoffs despite high bills?
A combination of increasing rates driven by infrastructure investments and fossil fuel volatility, climate-driven demand from extreme heat, and insufficient protections for vulnerable households.
Beyond the Rights of Nature: Land that Owns Itself
Q: You present as white. How do you navigate drawing on Indigenous traditions without appropriation?
We acknowledge that rights of nature originate in Indigenous cosmovisions and aim to partner with Indigenous communities, with guardians and tribal leadership guiding how these principles are applied respectfully within Western legal systems.
Beyond the Rights of Nature: Land that Owns Itself
Q: For someone who's unfamiliar with this phrase, what does rights of nature mean for a river or a forest to have legal rights?
It means moving from treating nature as mere property to recognizing its inherent rights, with local laws outlining what it means for a river or forest to exist, flourish, and regenerate, and giving residents or guardians standing to defend those rights in court.
Cleaner Steel is Coming. Will the Communities That Built the Industry Benefit?
Q: What are the main technological paths to cleaner steel and how feasible are they in the near term?
Direct Reduced Iron using methane or hydrogen offers a cleaner path than traditional coal-based blast furnaces, with existing plants showing potential to switch fuels with limited changes, while hydrogen-based routes and electric arc furnaces are progressing but face higher costs and hydrogen supply challenges.
