  • Invigorating Conversations

    This is a stellar podcast. Mike Taufel is an insightful interviewer, asking salient questions that makes the listener feel more like they are privy to a comfy rap session between super-smart friends. I have learned so much from these conversations. Having listened to a few episodes so far, I plan on delving back into the archives to find earlier ones. Great stuff.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Evolution of Corporate Climate Reduction Targets
Q: How will the database help us understand the dynamics among institutional investors and the investing community?
The database can help researchers examine how investor pressure and policy shifts relate to target adoption and disclosure. The researchers also raise questions about whether corporate investments and emissions progress will persist when companies become less publicly vocal, and how investor pressure may change under political opposition.
The Evolution of Corporate Climate Reduction Targets
Q: What are some of the key initial takeaways that you get if you look at this?
About half of Russell 3000 firms have adopted climate-related targets, adoption grew rapidly before plateauing and declining in 2024, and companies frequently revise targets before their target year. Early research also finds faster emissions-intensity reductions among firms with targets, though the results do not establish causation.
Danone & EDF’s Partnership to Reduce Methane in Dairy Supply Chains
Q: Are there co-funding models? Is there opportunities to bring in public sector funding?
Anderson and Adamo describe combining company spending with USDA and state funding, low-interest loans, and collaboration among supply-chain buyers. They emphasize directing funds to farms and using contracts and shared equipment to extend the impact.
Danone & EDF’s Partnership to Reduce Methane in Dairy Supply Chains
Q: Why do these issues matter to Danone and what's at stake for the company?
Adamo says agriculture is essential to Danone's supply, while climate-related risks can disrupt farms and commodity availability. He also cites investor, employee, customer, and consumer expectations as reasons to pursue climate action.
Powering AI and the Energy Transition: Why Permitting Reform Matters
Q: What role do hyperscalers play, and can policy align them with clean energy goals?
The guests discuss hyperscalers' need for speed-to-power and willingness to pay for clean energy, with examples like Google's long-term PPA and geothermal investments.
