  • Sunlight Reflection Methods Can Stop AMOC Collapse with Douglas MacMartin
    In this Climate Chat episode, Cornell climate scientist -- and returning guest -- Douglas MacMartin discusses a research paper he co-authored that says Sunlight Reflection Methods (a.k.a, solar radiation management - SRM) can stop the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is the ocean "conveyor belt" that transports warm water from the tropics to northern Europe.
    Link to pre-print paper: "Stratospheric Aerosol Injection could prevent future Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation decline, but injection location is key":
    https://essopenarchive.org/users/624026/articles/1253358-stratospheric-aerosol-injection-could-prevent-future-atlantic-meridional-overturning-circulation-decline-but-injection-location-is-key
    Douglas MacMartin is an Associate Professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University. His research focuses on Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM, also known as climate engineering, or climate intervention), with the aim of helping to develop the knowledge base necessary to support informed future societal decisions in this challenging and controversial field. He has published extensively on the subject, and in addition to public and academic presentations has provided briefings to the UN Environment Program and testimony to the US Congress, and was a member of the US National Academies panel that made recommendations on both research and governance in March 2021. He received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT in 1992; previous positions include United Technologies Research Center (1994-2000) and the California Institute of Technology (2000-2015). His research is funded by NSF and by the Cornell Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future.

  • Can We Save Ourselves? with Dana Fisher
    In this Climate Chat episode, we talk with Dana Fisher, author of "Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action," about what it will take to get the public to demand climate action and get policymakers to listen to them.
    Dana R. Fisher is the Director of the Center for Environment, Community, & Equity and Professor in the School of International Service at American University. She currently serves as a Non Resident Senior Fellow in the Governance Program at the Brookings Institution, and the chair of the Political Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association.
    Her research focuses on questions related to democracy, civic engagement, activism, and climate politics. Current projects include studying political elites’ responses to climate change, the ways national service corps programs in the US are expanding their work on disaster response, recovery, and resilience, and on-ramps to activism and political engagement. Her research employs a mixed-methods approach that integrates data collected through open-ended semi-structured interviews and participant observation with various forms of survey data.
    Professor Fisher has presented her work to the US National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, federal agencies, foundations, presidential campaigns, and other political organizations. She served as a Contributing Author for Working Group 3 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Review (IPCC AR6) writing about citizen engagement and civic activism.
    Fisher received her Ph.D. and Master of Science degrees from the Department of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her undergraduate degree is in East Asian Studies and Environmental Studies from Princeton University.

  • Direct Action: Will It Disrupt Climate Inaction? with Michael Greenberg
    In this Climate Chat episode, we interview Climate Defiance founder and executive director Michael Greenberg on the organization's goals, tactics, and successes, and how their strategy may change given the current administration's attacks on climate action and science.
    Michael Greenberg is the founder and executive director of Climate Defiance. His work focuses on resisting new fossil fuel infrastructure and making climate change a top issue in American politics. Michael and the team’s work has been profiled in the New Republic, New York Times, Washington Post, the Guardian, Bloomberg, Rolling Stone, and hundreds of other sources. In just two year, Climate Defiance garnered over 100 million organic social media impressions and is credited with playing a crucial role in halting drilling on millions of acres in Alaska and pausing new gas export infrastructure.
    Michael brings over a decade of experience in disruptive direct action. In 2014 he organized 400 college students to face arrest in protest of Keystone. In 2021, Michael started the Treaty People Gathering, mobilizing 2000 people to the Line 3 pipeline route and drawing coverage in sources like the New York Times and PBS. Michael previously worked at Mighty Earth, where he led actions for campaigns to change the agriculture sector and decarbonize heavy industry. Michael started his organizing career in Omaha, where he led the local efforts to press Tyson Foods to clean up its supply chain. Michael graduated from Columbia University with a degree in economics.

  • Reducing Air Pollution Increases Methane?! with Vincent Gauci
    In this Climate Chat episode, we interview Dr. Vincent Gauci on how reducing air pollution results in increased atmospheric methane concentrations.
    Vincent Gauci is professor of Geography and Environmental Sciences and a Birmingham Professorial Fellow at the University of Birmingham in the UK. Professor Gauci investigates how the biosphere interacts with the atmosphere and he explores questions relating to how these interactions respond to various drivers of global change.
