  • 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: War Is Climate Change
Q: What is AMOC and why is it important for climate stability?
AMOC is a large-scale ocean circulation that helps keep parts of Europe warmer; its weakening or collapse could cause major regional shifts and sea level changes, with impacts across ecosystems and economies.
Radio Ecoshock: Wildfires – The New Climate War
Q: Just to start us off, did you personally feel threatened by wildfires this year, or were you impacted by smoke?
The guest described a hot, smoky summer with cabin fever and pervasive indoor smoke, highlighting personal disruption and health concerns from smoke exposure.
Radio Ecoshock: Urgent Planet & Manufactured Fright (replay)
Q: How does the new study relate to previous thinking about emissions from shipping and their role in climate change?
The study confirms that oceanic emissions are a significant and growing portion of total emissions, and it emphasizes the value of tracking emissions at the vessel level to understand true impact, including the contribution from ships that broadcast data and those that do not.
Radio Ecoshock: Climate Free-Fall
Q: Can governments and business plan for these extremes, the chaos, rather than gradual climate change?
Yes, but it requires both long-term resilience investments and agile, scenario-based planning that accounts for increased variability and potential abrupt changes, rather than relying solely on gradual projections.
Radio Ecoshock: Hot And Polluted Episodes (replay)
Q: Why are wet-bulb temperatures used, and what thresholds are relevant for human safety?
Wet-bulb temperature reflects cooling potential via evaporation; historically a 35 C threshold is cited, but recent experiments show lower thresholds (around 30.6 C) for health risk in humid conditions, and the actual danger depends on humidity and air conditions.
