    Is Solar-Geoengineering Too Risky? with Chris Parker

    In this Climate Chat episode, we interview interview climate scientist Chris Parker about climate change risks and have a discussion on the risks of doing solar-geoengineering (a.k.a, Sunlight Reflection Methods or Solar Radiation Management (SRM)) vs. the risks of not doing it. Chris Parker is a climate scientist and hydrologist specialising in translating global and UK climate projection data into practical risk assessments for government, regulators, and infrastructure providers. He was formerly Climate and Data Lead for the UK's Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment – Independent Assessment (CCRA4-IA) at the UK Climate Change Committee, where he authored the national climate framing and led the Climate Chapter of the 'Well-Adapted UK' report. Over a 14-year career spanning engineering consultancy and the CCC, he specializes in bottom-up, adaptation-focused approaches to assessing climate risk at local and regional scale.

    The Enigma of Climate Inaction with Frédéric Samama

    In this Climate Chat episode, we interview author Frédéric Samama about his new book "The Enigma of Climate Inaction." The book explores humanity’s perplexing passivity in the face of the looming climate crisis―despite our having known about it for decades, the fact that we brought it into existence, and the existential threat it poses to our species. We will be discussing and comparing Frédéric's theory of "societal bubbles" with host Dan Miller's theory of limits of human cognition to deal with long-term problems, which Dan covered in his "Barriers to Climate Action" Climate Chat program. The Enigma of Climate Inaction draws on cutting-edge insights from cognitive science, anthropology, history, economy, finance, and philosophy. Samama argues that our success in accessing resources has bred an overconfidence in the systems that enable it. By uncovering the roots of our inaction, he moves beyond merely identifying the problem and offers a framework for action. He invites readers to experience a jolt in perspective―one that prompts a re-evaluation of our relationship with nature and our sense of responsibility. Frédéric Samama has built a career at the intersection of finance, research, and the public good. As the inventor of leveraged employee stock ownership plans deployed globally and a pioneer in green finance, he also launched, in 2009, alongside Joseph Stiglitz and Patrick Bolton, a research center dedicated to the role of investors in addressing climate change; initiated innovations such as the first mainstream low-carbon indices; and co-founded the first global coalition of climate-committed investors. He also teaches at Sciences Po. Holding a Ph.D. in economics and a Master’s degree in philosophy, he is the author of The Enigma of Climate Inaction (Routledge), an essay that draws on cognitive science, economics, anthropology, and philosophy to shed light on the mechanisms of collective inaction on climate change. In 2026, Environmental Finance named him “Personality of the Year.” Summary of Frédéric's book: https://conference.sciencespo.fr/content/2026-07-06/the-enigma-of-climate-inaction_NYQGjXlJd35MHyQi8WTU Dan's Barriers to Climate Action program: https://youtube.com/live/olcYG0LwJlw Please Like and Subscribe!

    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

    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.
