4.7 out of 5 stars from 162 ratings
  • Neoliberal garbage. Believers/peddlers of carbon decoupling, a bogus theory capitalists use to pretend we can keep growing economically without destroying the planet. Dangerous ideology, don't waste time, we can't afford it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Radio Ecoshock: El Nino wildfires & Amazon tipping
Q: How is the Amazon status affecting global climate risk, and what are the tipping-point concerns?
Dr. Nobre explains that large-scale deforestation and warming are pushing the Amazon toward a tipping point where the forest degrades, reduces rainfall, and could become a carbon source instead of a sink, with potentially dramatic regional and global climate implications.
Radio Ecoshock: El Nino wildfires & Amazon tipping
Q: What does the new paper say about diurnal weather constraints and longer burning hours in North America?
The paper shows that weakening diurnal weather constraints allow longer burning hours, meaning fires burn for more of the day and night, which changes how fires are experienced and fought, increasing the probability of larger, more intense fires.
Radio Ecoshock: War To World: Climate Hits Harder
Q: How many lives could be saved with better weather forecasts, and is the benefit limited to future decades or just staying level?
The study suggests thousands of lives could be saved annually (around 2,000 at minimum) with better forecasts, particularly on hot days, while climate change will still increase heat-related deaths if emissions are not curbed.
Radio Ecoshock: War To World: Climate Hits Harder
Q: What do experts expect for their field in terms of forecast improvements and challenges?
Experts expect continued improvements in data gathering and model refinement, with AI playing a growing role in forecasts, but emphasize that human judgment remains essential to interpret, communicate, and apply forecasts effectively.
Radio Ecoshock: Life After the Crash II
Q: Can you start with a short explanation of what eco-migration is?
Eco-migration refers to people who are compelled to leave their long-time homes primarily due to environmental pressures such as climate change, water shortages, and desertification, often intertwined with poverty and population pressures; it is not a voluntary migration but a forced adaptation to changing conditions.
