9 NOV 2024 · With Donald Trump's victory, near-term global progress on climate change seems impossible. How did we get here? This episode looks at each state and shows how deep and wide Trump's appeal was. My view of why has a lot to do with social division. The orientation to blame and attach each other over superficialities, very common on the left, creates an angry divided society on which a candidate of anger and division can easily prey. Blame feeds the monster of division, and the 2024 election is that monster's excrement.
29 OCT 2024 · We made this episode in December 2020, after the 2020 election but before President Biden and Vice President Harris took office. It's directly relevant now. Alycee and Matt examine Trump's efforts to rip open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and what Biden might do to stop it (he later did exactly what we said). And we talk about the threat of fascism in American politics. Four years ago, and one month from now, America and the climate face the same dilemma.Â
16 OCT 2024 · Tim Walz, Democratic Party Vice Presidential nominee and Governor of Minnesota, has been hailed as a progressive. And he is, relative to other national politicians. But what if we assess him relative to scientific necessity on climate change? The record is mixed. We aim for an even-handed discussion of Tim Walz's record, and of his potential should he and Kamala Harris win the White House.Â
22 SEP 2024 · Sorry for the delayed posting on this one, folks! Though late, it remains (unfortunately) absolutely relevant. The topic? Climate disasters are happening all over the United States and all over the world, with deadly consequences. The climate crisis is hurting us a right now; it is not a future problem. Extreme temperatures in India, hospitalizations at Trump rallies, dead homeless bodies on the streets of Phoenix, and half a million heat stroke cases at the Hajj in Mecca are just a few of the incidents we cover.
15 SEP 2024 · Alycee (who is a lawyer) and Matt (who is not) talk about a few things today, and we start with suing the bastards. As we try to get some action on the climate emergency, do lawsuits work? Suing the fossil fuel companies, suing governments for non-action, what does it accomplish and what does it fail to accomplish?Â
1 SEP 2024 · In this episode we describe climate disasters covering June and July, including 300 foot high flames hurtling through a UNESCO site faster than a human can run, fires so large we have no means of fighting them, the moon appearing orange around the world from so much smoke in the air, floods that make four story buildings disappear in seconds, on and on (and this doesn't even include the hurricanes, typhoons, and oil spills). It's tough but necessary listening as we come to appreciate how dire the global situation has already become.
26 AUG 2024 · The Harris vs. Trump election is currently the biggest story in climate policy, so we have more to say about it. What does fracking have to do with the rural vote in Pennsylvania? And how is that connected to carbon emissions from bombs and rockets in Israel and Palestine? It's all connected. Alycee and Matt explain how.
11 AUG 2024 · Alycee and Matt analyze the presidential election in climate policy terms. We try to locate Kamala Harris on climate policy, and discuss the implications of her vice presidential pick. Harris has a track record of prosecuting big oil and winning multi-million dollar settlements from them, and she opposed fracking, then later promised she would not ban it. (In line with FCC rules this analyzes but does not endorse or electioneer.)Â
20 JUL 2024 · The new Vice Presidential Republican nominee J.D. Vance favors taxing corporations, curtailing foreign wars, and clawing back executive pay. At times he sounds more like the running mate for Cornel West than for Donald Trump. So what is going on? Is the so-called New Right that he personifies genuinely different from the traditional Republican Party once in office? Or is Vance bought and paid for by corporate interests after all? Climate policy is the give-away, the proof of what is really going on.
9 JUL 2024 · This episode runs through some of the climate disasters of early 2024 - one after another. It's not easy listening, but it's necessary listening. The news media is drastically under-reporting how dire things already are, right now, which is why so many people think climate change is a future disaster. In fact, it is a present disaster. This episode covers the opening months of 2024. Â
