    S2 E3 - Adaptation

    In this episode, we unpack adaptation. We know the climate is changing, and while mitigation can still lessen the damage, our future is going to be massively impacted by how we adapt to the changing climate around us. We sit down with Paul Kirshen, a faculty member at UMass Boston and Tufts University and climate adaptation expert, and Kate Dineen, President and CEO of A Better City, a Boston-area non-profit that focuses on regional climate and transportation issues.

    S2 E2 - Climate Modeling

    We've touched on the use for and impact of climate models in past episodes, but today we take a deep dive into the world of climate modeling - how it works, what the challenges are, what climate models can help us understand about our future, and how to best communicate this information to a world that needs to know what's coming next in order to adapt and prepare. We're joined in studio by Yi Ming, Core Faculty Member at Schiller Institute and Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences at Boston College, and Jennifer Morris, Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy.

    Episode 8 - The Nuclear Option

    In our final episode of Season 1, we talk about the basics of nuclear power, where the technology stands currently, and how it can help us reduce emissions while still meeting our rising energy needs. We sit down with Devon Battaglia, Senior Manager of Physics Operations at Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), and Jacopo Buongiorno, Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT and a member of the United States National Academy of Engineering, to talk about advancements in nuclear fission and fusion and the impact nuclear power can have on our future.

    Episode 6 - Transitions

    In our 6th episode, we look back at transition points in our nation's history to see what they can teach us about the crossroads we face today. Boston College Professors Conevery Bolton Valencius, an historian of energy, environment, and health, and John E. Ebel, Senior Research Scientist at the Weston Observatory at Boston College, join us at the table for a high-energy (see what I did there?) conversation exploring the lessons of history and drawing connections to our current moment.

    Episode 4 - Farm to Table

    In this episode, we talk with Frances Moore Lappé, co-founder of the Small Planet Institute, researcher, and author or co-author of 21 books, including Diet for a Small Planet, and Angelo Gurgel, a principal research scientist at the Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy at MIT about how what we eat impacts the climate crisis at every single level. From land use and agricultural systems and approaches to what you put on your family's dinner table, we dig into how "every bite you take is a vote for the world you want."

    Episode 1 - Weather vs Climate

    In our first episode, we dig into the basics. Joined in studio by WBZ Chief Meteorologist Eric Fisher and Adam Schlosser, Senior Research Scientist and Deputy Director at the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy, we talk about how we know the climate is changing, why it's so difficult to talk about in this current moment, and how to stay positive and optimistic when dealing with such a big problem.
