Our world faces a crisis, with life on the planet under attack. Beyond false solutions, critical questions emerge regarding food systems, economic models, and halting fossil fuel expansion.

Our world faces a crisis, with life on the planet under attack. Beyond false solutions, critical questions emerge regarding food systems, economic models, and halting fossil fuel expansion. Climate justice groups are actively challenging dominant patriarchal cultures that exploit nature, other cultures, and women, advocating for biodiversity, ecosystem health, and the Rights of Nature.

Osprey Orielle Lake, founder of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network, discusses her new book, The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis, with host Dale Walkonen. Her work explores how climate justice can address these global challenges.

Our essential infrastructure and living systems are unraveling. Professor Leah Rampy, author of *Earth & Soul*, discusses with Dale Walkonen how life's interconnectedness compels us to collaborate with each other and nature.

Despite our complex, existential predicament, we can lay stepping stones for future generations to achieve a livable future.

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals annually for just 12% of the human diet, while also degrading topsoil.

Though regenerative farming is proposed, it often requires farm animals. This prompts the question: shouldn't we instead allow wildlife to return? Sailesh Rao (Climate Healers) and Larry Kopald (The Carbon Underground) discuss this with host Dale Walkonen.

The planet faces critical challenges in the next 10-20 years due to climate breakdown, with critical systems on the verge of failure. Young people must decide whether to plan their lives based on endless growth and consumerism, or lead a movement to adapt to changing conditions. What role will AI play in our future?

Former NASA engineer Tom Riley, author of climate detective novels, Paul Beckwith, and host Dale Walkonen explore how stories can inspire necessary and ethical action. Tom Riley's latest novel, *Dark Heat*, is available on Amazon.

Italy, situated between the rapidly warming Adriatic and Mediterranean seas, is acutely vulnerable to climate change. Last year, severe drought drained many rivers and dried up 45% of its farmland.

This year, northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region faced catastrophic flooding, with rivers bursting banks and submerging thousands of acres after receiving half their annual rainfall in 36 hours. Professor Peter Wadhams, witnessing these crises firsthand from Turin, highlights heat as a major concern, regardless of varying wet or dry conditions.

Glaciers are vital for global cooling and freshwater, but they are rapidly shrinking worldwide. Accelerating ice loss, particularly in the Himalayas, Alps, and at both poles, causes severe events

Glaciers are vital for global cooling and freshwater, but they are rapidly shrinking worldwide. Accelerating ice loss, particularly in the Himalayas, Alps, and at both poles, causes severe events like avalanches and flash floods, exacerbating disasters such as Pakistan's 2022 monsoons.

Professors Detlef Stammer (University of Hamburg) and Peter Wadhams (Cambridge University) will discuss these disappearing glaciers, their impacts, and potential conservation measures.

Plastic poses serious health risks, from its production harming communities to its breakdown into ubiquitous microplastics infiltrating our environment and bodies. Over 9 billion tonnes have been

Plastic poses serious health risks, from its production harming communities to its breakdown into ubiquitous microplastics infiltrating our environment and bodies. Over 9 billion tonnes have been produced since 1950, with ocean debris potentially outweighing all fish soon.

Greenpeace's John Hocevar will attend negotiations in Ottawa for a binding Global Plastic Treaty. Join the campaign by signing a letter to President Biden, urging a strong treaty: Greenpeace USA.

Greenland’s ice sheets hold enough freshwater to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While not an immediate threat, recent research shows glaciers are shrinking seven times faster than a few

Greenland’s ice sheets hold enough freshwater to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While not an immediate threat, recent research shows glaciers are shrinking seven times faster than a few years ago, losing an average of 30 million tonnes per hour.

This influx of freshwater into the ocean significantly impacts the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is vital for maintaining global weather patterns. Experts like Peter Wadhams and Paul Beckwith are studying these critical changes.

Concrete production, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, typically lasts 50-100 years. Extending its durability to 200 years or more would significantly reduce the 4 billion tons of CO2

Concrete production, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, typically lasts 50-100 years. Extending its durability to 200 years or more would significantly reduce the 4 billion tons of CO2 produced annually by its manufacture.

Our guest, Martin Halliwell, holds over 10 patents for "Earth honoring systems" designed to lower CO2 emissions in construction. His innovations include more durable concrete and integrated geothermal and windmill installations.
