  • hole in the wall for passive cooling

    … or rather two: put in the right places as witnessed personally in Kerala/India decades ago; and (to follow up on Hassan’s conclusions):

    none of this is either impossible or unaffordable (nor is it magic belief); it’s really about courage to have a closer look at what has worked and may be repurposed for modern cities, even beautiful as we have just heard about Cairo’s legacy; more often than not invisible until we enquire (as I happened to do in response to passive cooling when no one else se... more

  • Another carnist COP-out

    Graihagh Jackson & Justin Rowlatt do a lot of good climate journalism. That made the latest Q&A episode so disappointing in its underplaying of the significant impact of animal products on climate change & the big benefit of switching away from consumption of these harmful (for personal health & the animals themselves as well as climate & nature) foods.

  • Cringey delivery — 2 stars subtracted

    Cringey delivery (-) of important climate change topics, with beginner-friendly and accessible content (+). It’s hard to find a beginner friendly podcast on climate change. This podcast does a great job of making accessible information. What I can no longer handle is the weird “VH1: Where Are They Now” tone used to provide crucial facts for people to absorb without distractions at the same time from the weird format. The manner in which this podcast is made and scripted may work for some, but it... more

  • Weirdly plucky

    And upbeat for a podcast about an attempt to save an entire planet. Get that it can’t be all doom and gloom but it feels creepily disconnected. Maybe rein it in?
