    Are Doomers Really the Bad Guys? with Eliot Jacobson

    In this Climate Chat episode, we interview returning guest Prof. Eliot Jacobson about his response to a recent paper claiming "doomerism" is harmful and suggesting people can be "inoculated" from "doomer" messages. Prof. Jacobson responded on his Substack blog with an article titled "The Fundamental Theorem of Doomism". Dr. Eliot Jacobson is a retired academic, former casino gaming consultant, and prominent climate science commentator. He earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Arizona in 1983 and spent over two decades in academia, serving as a mathematics professor at Ohio University before teaching computer science at UC Santa Barbara until his retirement in 2009. Following his academic career, Jacobson transitioned into the casino industry and founded Jacobson Gaming, LLC, where he became a leading expert on table game design, mathematical certification, and advantage play, authoring several books including the industry best-seller Advanced Advantage Play. Today, he is widely recognized for his advocacy and data analysis regarding the climate crisis, utilizing his blog Climate Casino and social media to discuss extreme weather anomalies, ecological overshoot, and the realities of climate change from a self-described "doomer" perspective.

    Does AMOC Collapse Depend on Rate of Warming? with René van Westen

    In this Climate Chat episode, we interview returning guest René van Westen on his latest Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) research that shows that AMOC collapse depends not on the amount of warming but rather the *rate* of warming.

    The Biology of Collapse with George Tsakraklides

    In this Climate Chat episode, we interview scientist, activist and author George Tsakraklides about his book, The Biology of Collapse. George Tsakraklides is an author, Substack writer, and interdisciplinary commentator with an educational background spanning molecular biology, chemistry, food sciences, and Earth sciences, alongside two decades of experience in corporate data analytics and marketing. He has authored numerous works of non-fiction, fiction, and poetry—including The Biology of Collapse: Lessons from Nature on Growth, Power, Extinction and Rebirth, Beyond the Petri Dish, The Unhappiness Machine, and Frankenpolitics. His core perspective draws direct parallels between natural biological systems and human socioeconomic structures. He heavily critiques endless economic growth as an unsustainable, terminal pathology, while frequently challenging mainstream political reform and the efficacy of traditional technological mitigation strategies.

    The Physics & Economics of Sea Level Rise with Robert Kopp

    In this Climate Chat episode, host Dan Miller interviews climate scientist Dr. Robert Kopp about sea level rise predictions and the economic impacts of sea level rise. Robert Kopp is a climate scientist who serves at Rutgers University as a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences. Professor Kopp’s research focuses on past and future sea-level change, the interactions between physical climate change and the economy, the use of climate risk information to inform decision-making, and the role of higher education in supporting societal climate risk management. He directs the Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub, a Rutgers-led consortium that advances coastal climate adaptation and the scientific understanding of natural and human coastal climate dynamics. He is a founding principal investigator of the Climate Impact Lab, a multi-institutional collaboration advancing data-driven approaches to estimating the social and human costs of climate change. He is also co-lead for engagement and applications for the NASA Sea-Level Change Team. He was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s recent (2021) Sixth Assessment Report.  He has previously served at Rutgers as Director of the Rutgers Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences and as co-director of the University Office of Climate Action. Professor Kopp received his Ph.D. in Geobiology from the California Institute of Technology and his undergraduate degree in Geophysical Sciences from the University of Chicago.  He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow.

    "Uncharted Territory!": The Upcoming Super El Niño with Jeff Berardelli

    In this Climate Chat episode, host Dan Miller interviews WFLA Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist Jeff Berardelli about climate change, climate communications, and the upcoming super-strong El Niño. Jeff Berardelli is the Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist at WFLA-TV (NBC) in Tampa, Florida, and a highly regarded national voice in climate communication. Over a 25-year broadcast career—which includes serving as a national meteorologist for CBS News—he has specialized in bridging the gap between daily local weather forecasting and the broader physics of global climate change. Berardelli holds a B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences from Cornell University and an M.A. in Climate and Society from Columbia University, academic foundations he leverages to make complex environmental science accessible, visual, and highly engaging for the public through initiatives like "Jeff's Climate Classroom."

    What Happens to Our Food Supply When We Dim the Sun? with Brendan Clark

    In this Climate Chat episode, host Dan Miller interviews Cornell atmospheric climate scientist Brendan Clark about his research on how Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM, a.k.a., solar geoengineering) will impact vegetation growth and agriculture. We will also discuss Brendan's recent paper on how global warming induced changes to vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is slowing the growth of trees and reducing an important carbon sink. Dr. Brendan Clark is an atmospheric scientist and Postdoctoral Research Associate at Cornell University who specializes in modeling climate intervention scenarios, specifically Stratospheric Aerosol Intervention (SAI). His research focuses on evaluating the regional trade-offs and agricultural impacts of solar geoengineering, simulating how altered temperature and sunlight patterns would affect global crop production, food security, and terrestrial ecosystems. A former graduate researcher at Rutgers University, he has authored prominent papers on these climate engineering variables, including a lead-author study in Nature Food examining how optimal climate intervention strategies vary by nation.
