Calfire Crackpots Podcast

Whether it's grandpa at Thanksgiving or that one oddball friend, many of us have our fair share of climate change deniers in our lives. The secret to winning an argument is to know someone's ideology better than they do, and we're not here to win an argument, we're here to enlist people in the war on climate change. Join us as we pick through the moldy pages of bad science and terrible critical thinking skills to understand what makes the average climate change denier tick. Also included will be some top-notch draft evasion tips should your number be called.

Desalination. Is it stupid or can it be the silver bullet to solve Californian and worldwide water woes? Well, it turns out that it can be a little bit of both. Listen to us take a look at the technology, the environmental drawbacks, and its practical use cases in a warming world. Also included will be us whining about AP exams (yes we're that young).

Watch our audio setup improve noticeably as we talk about politics and climate change in the British Isles.

Saudi Arabia: the obscenely wealthy, mostly impoverished, and most stupidly engineered petrol state. It's the equivalent of a ten-year-old's creative Minecraft world. From the history of Saudi Aramco to bucketloads of political controversy, join us as we pick apart the climate politics of the caricature of the 21st century.

Have you ever been ramming your foot into a wall and said "Zoinks, that smarts!", so you freeze your foot in liquid nitrogen so you can go on kicking with no pain? Well, Silicon Valley startups and clueless governments alike seem to think this is the solution to climate change, so get ready to take a gander at everything from moving the moon to nuking volcanoes.

After taking advantage of a free license of creative cloud, we've kitted our tiny pod with Premier Pro and Zencastr. Please be patient as we iron out the kinks over the next few episodes. In the meantime, enjoy our take on how the Bushes and Iraq's water woes gave way to ISIS's frightening rise to power in the middle east in the 21st century as well as what climate change means for the future of international terrorism.

To kick off our water policy world tour, we'll discuss the geopolitics of the Nile River and how Ethiopia and Egypt's unwillingness to act like adults in the face of the climate crisis is destabilizing the entire region. Also included is a surprisingly heated rant about the state of the 117th congress of the United States of America.

The studio team here at Calfire Crackpots wishes everyone a Merry something-or-other, and by studio team, I mean me and maybe Declan. From seawalls, landfills, pumping plants, nuclear canals, and the hellscape we call the Netherlands, we'll be delving into all of the ways the nations of the world are hopelessly trying to preserve their coastal cities while ignoring the root cause of the problem.

Sea level rise: it's here, it's queer, and it's ready to do some wacky shit to the planet. After an admittedly dull discussion on the calculus of thermal expansion, we'll delve into how and why sea level rise is going to not only make London's weather interesting but also sink most on Florida.
