Jun 2, 2024 Climate Emergency Forum welcomes Andrew Revkin, a seasoned environmental journalist. The discussion revolves around the evolution of climate change coverage in the media and the critical issues facing the climate crisis today.
This video was recorded on May 22nd, 2024, and published on June 2nd, 2024, and represents the opinions of the discussion participants. Be sure to watch ‘til the very end where Andrew performs one of his songs. Revkin emphasizes that a disaster is defined by the intersection of hazards and people, highlighting the importance of reducing vulnerability to climate hazards alongside decarbonizing the energy system. He argues that the term "adaptation" is somewhat flawed because it implies only future changes, whereas the focus should also be on reducing current vulnerabilities. Revkin reflects on his journey in climate journalism, noting the significant challenges and changes over the past 40 years. He recalls the early days when climate change was a controversial and uncomfortable topic for mainstream media. He credits his work, particularly the "Dot Earth" blog at The New York Times, for helping to bring climate issues into the public eye. Revkin points out that while reducing carbon emissions is crucial, it is equally important to address societal and structural issues that exacerbate the impacts of climate events, such as urban planning and population growth in vulnerable areas. The conversation also touches on the role of media in shaping public perception and policy. Revkin discusses the need for balanced reporting that avoids sensationalism and focuses on actionable solutions. He criticizes the tendency to attribute every extreme weather event to global warming, which can undermine the credibility of climate science. Instead, he advocates for a nuanced approach that carefully assesses the links between climate change and specific hazards. Revkin underscores the need for innovative communication strategies to engage the public and policymakers in meaningful discussions about climate solutions.
4-23-24 Climate change is not news to big oil companies. They’ve known about it for more than 40 years, even burying their own research results on the links between carbon emissions and global warming. In the 1970s, oil conglomerates commissioned research into climate change. It predicted the global warming that we’re facing today. But US oil companies hushed up these findings rather than accepting responsibility. Just like the tobacco industry before it, the industry spent millions on a disinformation campaign. This campaign aimed to discredit the results, sowing doubts about human-induced climate change, so the companies could stave off tougher climate policies and continue drilling for oil and gas unhindered. Now they are facing dozens of lawsuits. In the US, for example, the city of Charleston on the southeastern Atlantic coast is suing Big Oil for climate adaptation costs. The city says the companies are to blame for the increased flooding it is facing. The legal dispute could make history. The municipality alleges that climate change could have been effectively tackled decades ago had it not been for the oil industry’s ‘multi-decade campaign of deception.’ Oil companies have denied the allegations.

4-5-24 "Our Changing Climate" In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I dive into the worst-case climate change scenarios that could possibly lead to societal collapse. Specifically, I understand what the literature says will happen above four degrees of global warming in turns of natural disasters, as well as how that will unfold across our economic and social webs. In this anti-capitalist essay, many of the worst-case scenarios are presented. I think this is done to help us take the actions that are needed. STOP BURNING SO MUCH FOSSIL FUELS!
3-24-24 The World Meteorological Organization issued a red alert warning Tuesday about warming and climate change, saying 2024 is shaping up to be another record year. One of the many worries about how the planet is changing, thanks in part to human activity, is the record-shattering warming of the world’s oceans. William Brangham discussed more with John Abraham.

A new deal has been agreed at the UN climate summit in Dubai after days of negotiations. For the first time, the deal calls on all countries to move away from using fossil fuels - but not to phase them out, something many governments wanted. The text recognizes the need for deep, rapid and sustained reductions if humanity is to limit temperature rises to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
The COP28 president said nations had "confronted realities and... set the world in the right direction".
12-12-23 The science is clear: in order to limit global warming, burning fossil fuels as we have for two centuries, must become a thing of the past. But how do we do that? And how long should it take? Apparently, it depends on who is asking and who is answering.
OPEC is the powerful cartel of oil-producing nations led by Saudi Arabia, and is player with a keen interest in the conference. They've objected to any strong action against their trillion dollar industry. Some reports suggestthe Saudis pushed to drop any mention of fossil fuels altogether. The UAE is hosting this conference, and has tried to put a positive spin on everything.
11-10-23 An URGENT Chat with the Godfather of Climate Science;
Dr. James Hansen is the former director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and is now the Director of the "Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions Program" at Columbia University's Earth Institute. He was one of the first to bring climate change to the public eye with his famous testimony before the U.S. congress in the 1980s. Since then, he has continued to be at the forefront of the climate debate.
We discuss a wide range of topics:
-The emergence of the science on global warming from rising CO2 levels
• Dr. Hansen's experience as a high-caliber climate advocate --The shift from climate deniers to climate lukewarmists
• The two most important climate actions for Dr. Hansen, a carbon tax and support for nuclear power - Why Dr. Hansen didn't go to COP26 --The anti-nuclear lobby - The virtually unlimited government support for renewables
• Differential responsibility for climate change - The contrast between German and Chinese approaches to climate action
• Fukushima, alarmism, and anti-nuclear NRC picks - Reflections on geoengineering

It’s hard not to notice: our weather is changing. From longer, hotter heat waves, to more intense rainstorms, to megafires and multi-year droughts, the U.S. is experiencing the full range of impacts from a changing global climate. At the same time, many on the front lines are fighting back – innovating solutions, marshaling ancient wisdom, and developing visionary ideas. The lessons they're learning today can help all of us adapt in the years ahead, as the planet gets warmer and our weather gets more extreme.
3-26-2023 The United Nations climate body, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has just given us the bluntest verdict yet on the scale of the climate emergency. So are we actually doomed as some commentators suggest, or is there any way at all that we can drag ourselves out of our self inflicted train wreck? Perhaps the kids and grandkids might appreciate a straight answer this time!!

11-26-2019 Emissions Gap Report : As the world strives to cut greenhouse gas emissions and limit climate change, it is crucial to track progress towards globally agreed climate goals. For a decade, UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report has compared where greenhouse gas emissions are heading against where they need to be, and highlighted the best ways to close the gap. Are we meeting goals of the Paris Climate Agreement?
11-2-2022 WION: Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.
Examples of greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and forests can also release carbon dioxide. Landfills for garbage are a major source of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are among the main emitters
9-6-2022 PBS "Terra" "What will the earth look like when these 6 tipping points hit ?" A “tipping point” is when a system, with just a small amount of additional energy, is pushed from one stable state to another suddenly and dramatically. This can be a chair falling backwards. Or it can be a major earth system collapsing.
The IPCC recently identified 15 potential climate-related tipping points that scientists have grown increasingly worried we are getting close to crossing due to global warming. In this episode of Weathered, we look at 6 of the major candidates, how they are all interconnected and influence each other, and what it would mean if they were triggered. These tipping points or tipping elements are the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, the Amazon rainforest, global monsoons, the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) and the earth’s permafrost and coral reefs.

Watch the final episode of “The Power of Big Oil,” a three-part FRONTLINE docuseries investigating what scientists, corporations and politicians have known about human-caused climate change for decades — and the missed opportunities to mitigate the problem.
Throughout the first two episodes of “The Power of Big Oil,” FRONTLINE went inside the fossil fuel industry’s efforts in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to stall action on climate change by cultivating denial and doubt.
The third and final episode of the series brings the story up to the present. “Delay,” part three of “The Power of Big Oil,” investigates how, even as the warnings about climate change grew, the U.S. reemerged as one of the world's biggest oil and gas producers, and the fossil fuel industry worked to delay the transition to renewable energy sources — including by promoting natural gas as a cleaner alternative. But as the country was entering a gas boom, a former Exxon Mobil engineer tells FRONTLINE that the industry wasn’t monitoring for methane leaks that could turbo-charge the climate crisis. As it brings the Big Oil series to a close, “Delay” unpacks the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations’ actions on climate change; explores what may happen next; and examines what’s at stake.

3-11-2013. The scientific case for urgent action on climate change. Distinguished Professor Emeritus Richard Somerville, a world-renowned climate scientist and author of “The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change,” discusses the scientific case for urgent action to limit climate change. Even though this lecture at the Scripps institute of Oceanography was given 9 years ago the content is even more salient today. The urgency so well illustrated by Dr. Somerville is now far greater. In the next ten years we face the prospect of exceeding the carbon budget that will insure our planet will have warming beyond 2 degrees centigrade.
If global temperatures rise three degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the results would be catastrophic. It’s an entirely plausible scenario, and this film shows you what it would look like.

The summer of 2020 saw record breaking heatwaves across the Arctic region resulting in the lowest ever recorded October sea ice levels. Those persistently warm temperatures also caused the thawing of permafrost and sediment on the seabed allowing the release of very high concentrations of methane - in some cases up to 400 times normal levels. So, have we now reached the long anticipated tipping point?

You've probably been hearing a lot about climate change and how you should reduce your carbon footprint. But what's that exactly? Just like an actual footprint, it's a mark you leave upon the environment. No, not with your shoes but with every action that releases "Carbons". Those are the harmful gases, such as Co2, which are pumped out by burning fossil fuels, like oil or gas. And the more fuel is used, the bigger your footprint will be. You may think that by driving your car, the only carbons you release come from the engine, but no. Consider the carbons that are emitted just to get fuel into the tank: From the energy needed to extract the oil from underground, the pollution caused by transportation and refinement, to the final delivery to your local petrol station. Not to mention the Co2 released by manufacturing your car in the first place. More than you thought, eh? So unless you live in a cave; you and everything you own has it's own carbon footprint: Read a book -- Printing and distributing it uses energy. Brush your teeth and your tools will have a history in a factory. Even something as basic as an apple could have traveled hundreds or even thousands of miles to end up in your local supermarket. You see, it's pretty much impossible to leave no carbon footprint behind. But by thinking about your actions and personal choices, maybe you can make your feet just that little bit smaller and really help to put the boot into climate change. (Run Time 2:00)

If Trump’s prior life as a business mogul has any bearing, one factor could eventually convince him to change his administration’s stance on climate change: the cost. The world is already feeling the effects of climate change, and it stands to get much worse if immediate action isn't taken to curb warming emissions, scientists warn. Projections show climate change could cause as much as $44 trillion in damage over the next five decades. And in the U.S., as many as 100 million Americans live in coastal cities and towns where rising sea levels pose a risk to residential and business properties. Some cities are taking matters into their own hands. Miami Beach, for example, launched a nearly half a billion-dollar project in 2015 to pump water off the streets, in an effort to combat the rising seas. As the costs mount, so do allegations that powerful interests in the oil and gas industry, like ExxonMobil, purposefully misled the public about climate science and delayed corrective measures.

Winner of three international environmental film awards: The Silver Sierra Award (Yosemite International Film Festival, USA), Best Environmental & Ecology Film (International Film festival Ireland) and Best Climate Change Film (New Delhi Environmental & Wildlife Film Festival, India).
If you want to know what the changing climate is doing to the earth, ask someone who's been there. Jason Briner has been above the Arctic Circle more than 35 times. He takes the big topic of global warming and shows you what it's doing to a very important place in this talk.Jason P. Briner is an Associate Professor of Geology at the University at Buffalo. Briner’s research expertise lies in glaciers and climate, specifically in Arctic regions. His passion for Arctic environs obviously explains why, in 2005, Briner moved to Buffalo, NY. Briner has been above the Arctic Circle more than 35 times for his research, in the remote corners of Alaska, Arctic Canada, Greenland and Norway. 12-09-2019 Sea level rise can no longer be stopped, so it is urgent that we commence intelligent adaptation as a high priority, argues John Englander.

Rising sea level will permanently alter coastlines and is perhaps the most profound long-term aspect of climate change affecting coastal communities everywhere, as well as the global economy. The phenomenon is often overshadowed by short-term flood events, though it will elevate those too. In this talk, oceanographer and author John Englander highlights some surprising scientific aspects of sea level rise, including the latest projections for the coming decades, eventually many meters above present.
