  • Fake globalist propaganda to tax carbon dioxide as the fascist technocrats enslave the West with their one world surveillance state. Genocidal Gavin Newsom, a zionist World Economic Forum "young global leader" drained the water reservoir a year ago to burn down yet another town in Failed State California. Build back better a "smart" 15 minute city for social credit system & kill all the chickens and cows to control the weather. 🐔

  • Don't let guests run on

    I highly value the information in podcasts prepared for Climate Rising. My only complaint is that some guests freely talk for long periods of time without interruption. These guests will speak fast and without pause. The podcast can then sound more like a commercial for the guest than a teaching and learning experience. A bit more interaction please.

  • Climate podcast like no other!

    Climate Rising is an absolute gem. It stands out for diverse guest lineup and Mike’s ability to pose tough questions that elicit genuine, insightful answers. The show explored wide range of climate perspectives and innovative solutions, and I love that Mike always asks guest what young students and others can do in the careers. I am one of those people that this podcast has inspired! Thank you, Mike!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Using AI to Unlock Geothermal Energy at Scale: Zanskar
Q: Could you walk us through the Lightning Dock origin story and what happened after that?
Lightning Dock was discovered by homesteaders in the 1940s when water wells inadvertendly hit steam. It became famous for growing roses in greenhouses using the heat and later saw a power plant built in 2013 and expanded in 2019, though reservoir issues arose. In 2024, Zanskar purchased the field, ran deeper production wells, and dramatically increased output, repowering the plant with that single well.
David Potere at BCG X: Using AI & Satellites in Climate Solutions
Q: All right, so David, let's begin, if we could, with a brief introduction to your role at Bcg X, and a bit about how you got there.
David explains his MD/Partner role at BCG X, the unit's focus on integrating AI, data, and climate-related decision-making, and his path from academia to the firm, including a stint in startups and a return to BCG.
VF Corporation: Scaling Regenerative Materials Across Global Apparel Supply Chains
Q: How does VF decide which materials get regenerative treatment and which stay conventional?
Brand-led decisions drive the allocation, with VF recommending regenerative programs and brands choosing where to apply them based on cost, performance, and the ability to fit into their product lines; regenerative cotton, for example, is now closer to cost parity and is expanding across collections.
Scaling Regenerative Agriculture and Carbon Markets with Indigo Ag’s A.J. Kumar
Q: How do you address the additionality and durability concerns common in carbon credits?
We use a three-tier approach: a recognized carbon registry with a buffer pool to ensure durability, project-scale aggregation to reduce noise and improve certainty, and integration of diverse regenerative practices that deliver additional environmental co-benefits and long-term farmer profitability.
Scaling Regenerative Agriculture and Carbon Markets with Indigo Ag’s A.J. Kumar
Q: What's the product or service Indigo Ag provides in the Regen Ag area, and what motivates farmers to engage?
Indigo offers a mix of financing, data tools, and market access. Farmers are motivated by the prospect of higher resilience, potential yield stability, and access to premium payments or carbon credits that help offset transition costs, especially when paired with education and resources.
