Into The Clear Blue Sky w/ Rob Jackson

Rob Jackson is the Chair of the Global Carbon Project, a Senior Fellow at Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Institute for Energy, and a professor of earth science at Stanford University. Through global scientific leadership and groundbreaking research, communications, and policy activities, Jackson’s work has reduced millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions and improved human health, safety, and air and water quality. In his new book, INTO THE CLEAR BLUE SKY: THE PATH TO RESTORING OUR ATMOSPHERE, climate scientist and chair of the Global Carbon Project Rob Jackson introduces the innovators who are doing the work: finding methods to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into minerals, perfecting e-motorcycles, developing the world’s first fossil-free steel, and creating nutritional additives for cows to cut down on the methane they release. INTO THE CLEAR BLUE SKY finds hope in unlikely places—from Amazon wetlands to Swedish steel plants—and offers a realistic roadmap toward restoring the atmosphere to preindustrial health.

The Parrot and the Igloo w/ David Lipsky

David Lipsky is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Absolutely American and Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, the basis for the acclaimed movie The End of the Tour. He has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, Harper’s, Rolling Stone, This American Life, All Things Considered, and New York, and is the recipient of the National Magazine Award and the GLAAD Media Award. In THE PARROT AND THE IGLOO: Climate and the Science of Denial, now published in paperback, Lipsky explores how “anti-science” became virulent in American life—through the history of climate denial and its consequences. Climate change has become an unavoidable fact and ongoing catastrophe. The science was clear decades ago. How did so many Americans come to doubt evidence so widely accepted and compelling? It is the story of the inventors (Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse) who made our world; the scientists who bravely sounded the climate alarm; and then the hucksters, zealots, dreamers, and crackpots who lied about that science.

Well Done Oil Wells w/ Curtis Shuck (Well Done Foundation)

Millions of Americans across the country live within just one mile from an orphaned oil and gas well. These abandoned wells contribute to 20-30% of methane leaks in the US, which affect drinking water, harm wildlife, ruin the land, and create flooding risks, according to experts. Curtis Shuck, Chairman of the Well Done Foundation, is doing something about this. WDF is the only national nonprofit working to plug millions of orphaned oil and gas wells across the U.S. Find Curtis Shuck and Well Done Foundation online: www.welldonefoundation.org/Find me online: This Sustainable Life: Solve For Nature Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shows.acast.com/solvefornatureBlog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://verdantgrowth.blog/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/verdantgrowth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/VerdantGrowth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/realverdantgrowth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/verdant.growth ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/verdantgrowthofficial Hosted on Acast.

A River Divided w/ George Paxinos

Environmental activist and renowned neuroscientist, George Paxinos has identified and named more brain areas than anyone in history and published 57 books. His atlases and concepts of brain organization are used by most scientists working on the relationship between the brain and cognition, emotion, motivation and thought, including neurologic or psychiatric diseases such as Alzheimer’s and depression. His latest book took 21 years to develop and publish. His new book, A River Divided, is a cross between a science fiction and ecofiction novel. It follows Evelyn, a geneticist and amateur archeologist, who discovers a tomb while vacationing in Israel. Believing she has found the remains of Christ, she attempts to revive the DNA found preserved at the site so that she can clone Him. But with human cloning being both illegal and unprecedented, she takes the risk of carrying the embryo herself. Though more a scientist than a zealot, she wants to do everything to bring Him back to the world. If her experiment were successful, the consequence could be the salvation of a dying Earth. The result of her daring discovery is the birth of identical twins Christopher and José, who are raised apart and unaware of each other's existence— one in the affluent suburbs of Sydney and the other in the slums of Buenos Aires. As different artists would sculpt different statues from the same block of marble, different environments produce different characters out of the same DNA. The twins are destined to clash, adversaries in an almighty battle for the Amazon.
