Canadian wildfires are generating hazardous smoke, drifting across the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. These tiny particles pose serious health risks to the lungs, heart, and brain. Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with unpredictable weather, ice storms, and drought fueling the fires, which have already released 17 million tons of CO2.

Experts Paul Beckwith and Patrick Hogan explain this worsening air quality as a critical symptom of the climate crisis. When smoke reached Washington D.C., legislators experienced firsthand the effects, reminiscent of the 1930s Dustbowl. The key question is whether this event will finally prompt significant action.

The global climate emergency is undeniable, with extreme weather impacting every continent—from wildfires and heatwaves to droughts and ocean temperature anomalies. Despite these clear signs, political action to end fossil fuel subsidies remains insufficient. What future awaits us?

In this program, Peter Carter (Climate Emergency Institute) and Paul Beckwith (Climate System Scientist) explain why transitioning from fossil fuels is essential for our survival. The discussion is hosted by Dale Walkonen and edited by Mike Coe.

The Yale Environmental Sustainability Summit featured two key plenary panels. The first, "Flowing Capital to a Sustainable Future," explored impact investing with Yale alumni. Panelists included Tom Hodgman (NatureVest), Jeff Possick (MissionPoint Partners), Shelby Semmes (Intervale Advisors), and Adam Wolfensohn (Encourage Capital), moderated by Terry Kellogg (Helios Capital Ventures).

The second plenary, "Moving Ahead: Change Making, Sound Science, and the Rule of Law," discussed future directions. Speakers were Paul Anastas (Yale), Tom McHenry (Vermont Law School), and William K. Reilly (World Wildlife Fund; former EPA Administrator). Ingrid C. Burke, Dean of F&ES, served as moderator.

Changing weather patterns, with stronger storms and droughts, demand land restoration. We need to free land to absorb flooding, recover hydrology, and enhance natural systems for CO2

Changing weather patterns, with stronger storms and droughts, demand land restoration. We need to free land to absorb flooding, recover hydrology, and enhance natural systems for CO2 sequestration.

The automotive age has brought mobility at a steep environmental cost. Gas cars are disastrous, leading to ecosystem loss as paved surfaces cover soil and absorb heat; EVs don't solve this land-use issue. Additionally, three-quarters of arable land converted to animal agriculture compounds this recipe for disaster.

The ocean, vital for Earth's oxygen, carbon storage, and climate, supports the majority of our planet's life. Yet, the International Seabed Authority is considering opening the deep sea to companies vying to extract millions of tons of minerals like manganese, cobalt, nickel, and lithium. This heavy equipment mining threatens fragile deep-sea ecosystems.

Arlo Hemphill, Lead Ocean Campaigner for Greenpeace USA, exposes how the laws of the sea are being evaded to accommodate these mining interests.

A new investigation uncovers how the coal industry, through a secretive network of giants, lobbyists, and media, has infiltrated Australia's federal government. This influence aims to halt climate action and stall the transition to clean energy, impacting political decisions up to the Prime Minister's office.

This documentary film exposes the dark heart of Australian politics, following veteran investigative journalist Michael West (michaelwest.com.au). It was co-directed by award-winning filmmaker Chris Phillips (thingsbychris.com) and Greenpeace Australia Pacific's Kim Paul Nguyen.
