In this episode, we interview Jeffrey Rissman, the author of Zero Carbon Industry - Transformative Technologies and Policies to Achieve Sustainable Prosperity. He discusses his book, which provides details on sectors such as Chemicals, Paper and Cement, via well researched data and technologies. The book seamlessly blends technical, statistical, philosophical and human issues to offer solutions for industrial decarbonization.

In this episode, we speak once again to Dan Delurey, a clean energy and climate expert, who has been to all recent COPs. He disects the implication of the breakthrough agreement for transition away from fossil fuels, and tells us how the COP process truly works through the course of the year leading up to the final negotiations. He also explains the various zones at COP- blue, green, etc, where real ideas germinate and real transformations take place.

In this episode, I speak to Virgilio Viana, ex- Secretary of State for Environment in Brazil, and Director General of the Amazonas Sustainability Foundation. Virgilio provides his candid views on the successes and shortcomings of COP 28 Dubai, from the standpoint of Biodiversity and its close relationship with decarbonization. He also discussed UN's lack of agreement on standards for Carbon Trading.

In this episode, we break down the key agreements reached in Dubai, to address global warming. We also analyse the shortcomings and provide a clear conclusion from the conference.

In this episode, we speak to Dan Delurey, a UN climate advocate and advisor, to get his take on how the UN is progressing in its attempts to get the world to restrict global warming. We discuss recent climate cases in the courts, one of which is California's case against 5 oil majors, on the topic of climate change. Finally, we talk about a disturbing new trend, especially among young people - Climate anxiety.

In this episode, we review Cimate Week New York, and provide a synopsis of key announcements and findings from over 400 events. As the emphasis on biodiversity takes center stage, we discuss recent announcements from the United Nations and from the State of California - the UN Taskforce for Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) guidelines, and California's lawsuit against five oil majors. We visit a rooftop farm, and meet with the farm's custodians, and speak to other experts attending the conference.

In this episode, I travel to the island paradise of Aruba, which has recently felt the impact of climate change, through the advancement and expansion of the Carribean Hurricane Cycle, causing it's well known dry, windy climate to be impacted, through heavy rainfall and a counteracting of wind speed.

I speak to a Real Estate developer, who gives me her views on how the real estate business is being transformed because of consciousness relating to its carbon footprint. A multistoried commercial or residential property has many tools available for it to decarbonize - of course there is a cost element, higher for exisiting buildings and a little less for brand new construction. Power sources, and smart zone based sensors, coupled with behavioral changes, will go a long way towards decarbonization.

In this episode I talk about the naked eye planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), their rotations and distances from the sun, and muse about the precarious planetary balance that we should not take for granted. I explain when you can see Venus, and why it is rare for Venus and Jupiter to be seen together.

In this episode, I speak to Guilherme Santana and Marcelo Da Costa, founders of Preservaland, and get their expert commentary on the successes and shortcomings of Biodiversity COP 15, which concluded last quarter in Canada. Marcelo explains the proper methodology for preserving forestland, balancing preservation needs with social issues in the massive Amazon Rainforest, and tells us how Brazil is trying to maintain biodiversity equilibrium, and emphasizes the importance of doing so to save our planet.
