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.

This interview, originally posted by MarkMolaro on November 25, 2007, features K. David Harrison. Harrison is an assistant professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College, author of "When Languages Die: The Extinction of the World's Languages and the Erosion of Human Knowledge," and Director of Research at the Living Tongues Institute. He was also featured in "The Linguists" documentary.

In this conversation, Harrison discusses the critical importance of the world's many threatened languages and the vital knowledge each uniquely preserves. He emphasizes the urgent need for more trained linguists to document these nearly extinct languages in remote regions before they are lost forever.

Dr. Kate Tully, Assistant Professor of Agroecology at the University of Maryland and director of the AgroEcoLab, explores how to build resilience in coastal farms amidst climate change. Her academic journey includes degrees in English, Spanish, Biology, and Ecology, followed by postdoctoral research at Columbia University's Earth Institute, where she studied the environmental impacts of the African Green Revolution.

Her research broadly examines managing farming systems for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Specifically, she investigates strategies for coastal farmlands affected by sea-level rise and saltwater intrusion, and the use of cover crops to enhance agroecosystem services.

Donald Trump's infamous "It is, what it is" regarding COVID-19 deaths inadvertently highlights humanity's unpreparedness for natural systems. Whether a virus or climate change, our poor response

Donald Trump's infamous "It is, what it is" regarding COVID-19 deaths inadvertently highlights humanity's unpreparedness for natural systems. Whether a virus or climate change, our poor response demands urgent scientific understanding and decisive action. The pandemic serves as a critical wake-up call, urging us to avoid "crisis fatigue" and address environmental challenges.

This talk was delivered by Mark McGinley, an ecologist whose lifelong passion for nature began in childhood. With degrees in zoology and ecology, he dedicated his career to fostering scientific and environmental literacy. As a professor, he taught field courses, developed programs, and served as Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia of Earth. He now works at Lingnan University.

Jusen Asuka's talk, "Fall and Rise of Japan’s Climate Policy," addresses the nation's climate policy, which was active only briefly (e.g., the 1997 Kyoto Protocol) before becoming largely inactive. He proposes concrete steps for Japan’s green recovery to revive it.

Professor Asuka is with Tohoku University’s Center for Northeast Asian Studies. He previously directed the climate change group at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES). Holding a Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo and an MBA from INSEAD, his expertise spans energy and environmental policy, and international cooperation.
