These are the latest episodes from the Environment topic added to soundcarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 10, for example, could confuse matters.

We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

S1 E10: It’s the Final Meltdown
^{00:36:56 | Season: 1 | Episode: 10 | April 28th, 2020}

Brand new problem? Fake news? Yeah, no!! More like should be totally obvious, is super real, and has been attempted to be hidden for literal decades!! Climate change may seem like a thoroughly modern problem, but scientists have been exploring the question of the earth’s climate for over a hundred years. And while early theories may have been more concerned with predicting ice ages and the outcome of volcanic eruptions some things they discovered still hold up today. History is the story of human nature. What we choose to pursue, whose voices we value, all of that. Knowing that we knew early and didn’t do anything just goes to show that you can have all the information, perfect science, but it doesn’t really matter if people aren’t willing to listen to it. So the next big question is: how do you get people to listen? And why do they choose not to sometimes? I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, how everything will unfold, if robots will save us, or if we find a way to connect back to nature, but I’m more sure than I ever have been, that we’re not out of time…that we can handle it…Together. **This episode feature an interview with: ** Nathaniel Rich: Nathaniel is an awesome writer of both fiction and nonfiction. His book Losing Earth: A Recent History is all about the existence of the scientific evidence for global warming for decades and the reasons why we collectively failed to listen to it.

His research focuses on understanding the fate and transport of organic compounds, organic contaminants in particular, in the environment and on the microbial processes which control carbon cycling in both contaminated and natural environments. The common theme in his research is to understand the fundamental processes that control the environment around us and the impact that life, including industrial society, has on the environment and vice versa.

Earth Day 2020: The Big Blue Marble
^{0:27:06 | April 22nd, 2020}

On this, the 50th Earth Day, Ecolution zooms out to look back in. We hear from the Japanese space agency, Jaxa. We hear from children outside Ireland to see what Climate Change means to them. And Niall Hatch of Birdwatch Ireland gives us a birds eye view. Quite literally.

S1 E9: Doomsday Prepping and other Adaptation Approaches
^{00:32:00 | Season: 1 | Episode: 9 | April 21st, 2020}

You’ve probably heard more about #preppers in the media lately with the current COVID-19 stuff going on. But trust, the doomsday preppers have been at it already for literal YEARS. While it may be easy for some people to get carried away thinking of “surviving extreme weather events” related to climate change…it’s important to remember that global climate change is a gradual process… One that’s already taking place. That’s what today’s episode is all about. How we respond to this transition. The ways we’re preparing our cities, buildings and even wild spaces to deal. And it’s not all doom and gloom, a big part of this prep is about imagining the world of the future, about dreaming up sustainable living cities… And the coolest thing? If we do it right, this prep can actually help us stop global warming. Today we are exploring our two options when it comes to helping us figure out how to deal: mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation is about reducing emissions to slow or stop global warming. Things like pollution deterring carbon taxes and carbon sinks. Yay tree planting! Adaptation focuses on making adjustments to better cope with the effects of climate change, hopefully before they happen. Things like shoring up buildings to deal with severe storms or making sure hospitals and old folks homes have backup power. ….So I guess today’s vibe is that; focusing on resilience and long term sustainability really is the best option… And working with nature is pretty much the only way we can avoid the more destructive effects of climate change. Also, any future we imagine for ourselves has to be built to last. Also: I mention the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change – more info on that here: **This episode features interviews with: ** **Julian Tersigni: **Julian manages the Earth Rangers Center for Conservation on the ground of the Kortright Conservation Area. It’s an incredibly amazing, eco-friendly building. Like, absolutely every part of its construction was designed to be environmentally friendly… Even the pavement outside! And there are also these really cool things called “earth tubes” that help the building manage temperatures. Literally, so, so cool!!

The council understands that youth are the ones that will inherit the problems associated with an unsustainable food system. The council works with Toronto’s diverse young communities to find solutions to food insecurity. They then raise awareness of these issues through their seat at the Toronto Food Policy Council, by making deputations at City Hall, and through their advocacy work with other food justice organizations. As the voice of Toronto’s food-passionate youth community, the TYFPC encourages other groups of youth to form their own food policy councils. Emma hopes to bring more fresh food and nature to cities through urban agriculture and rooftop gardens Website: http://tyfpc.ca/ Twitter: @TYFPC http://tyfpc.ca/ Facebook: @TorontoYOUTHFoodPolicyCouncil https://www.facebook.com/TorontoYOUTHFoodPolicyCouncil For more info and a chance to win a custom “The Big Melt” T-shirt, visit www.bigmeltpodcast.com or the shownotes for this episode.

S1 E8: Change the Policies – Not the Climate!
^{00:27:25 | Season: 1 | Episode: 8 | April 4th, 2020}

Today we are looking at the big big and the super small… life after climate change and international cooperation… about local effects and nationwide initiatives. I keep a close eye on world events, and lately… Regarding climate change, I’ve actually felt really excited by what I’m seeing! People are pulling together. Every day there’s some new story about another country adding environmental protections or #cancellingcoal. Seriously, Just look at Belgium, it started shutting down the last of its coal plants! Or- Or the UK! It recently celebrated its first 24 hours without coal power since the industrial revolution. Everywhere, countries like Portugal, Sweden, France… even tiny countries like Malta are taking action. I’m feeling really energized and hopeful! On this episode I’m even talking with a super special guest about Canadian governmental action on climate change!! This episode features conversations with: Katia Bannister Katia is the Co-leader of the Cowichan Valley Earth Guardians – a group of teens working in climate activism in BC. She’s passionate about fighting against climate displacement and the loss of indigenous culture and biodiversity. She spoke to us about climate change is threatening life on her small gulf island off the coast of British Columbia. Facebook: @cvearthguardians Jasmine Hachey Jasmine has been a climate activist ever since she made a short film about sustainable energy when she was in 6th grade. She cares about climate change because her family is Cree and the land and sustainable practices are important to her culture. The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson Jonathan Wilkinson PC MP is a Canadian Liberal politician, who was elected to represent the riding of North Vancouver in the House of Commons of Canada in the 2015 federal election, and re-elected in the 2019 election.

Bonus: Under the Weather Together
^{00:07:29 | March 29th, 2020}

So, there’s a lot going on right now… A LOT…. And I thought it might be kinda cool to talk it out? School is cancelled, which means I have way too much time on my hands… I’m sure most of you are in the same boat. I thought since everyone is following the coronavirus pandemic as it unfolds, and we’re getting news from so many different sources and everything is kinda confusing…
