Skeptical Science is an amazing resource for anticipating and responding to climate change misinformation.  It individually covers more than 200 misinformation messages floating around the topic of climate change.  This episode of Climate Roulette introduces you to the website and its potential. 

E-Liability is commonly promoted as an alternative to today's Scopes 1-3 GHG accounting frameworks.  This episode goes deep into the topic, looking at its potential advantages as well as the challenges any such system would encounter.  This "Deep Dive" episode complements our "E-Liability 101" Climate Roulette podcast released at the same time.    

E-Liability is a proposed alternative to today's greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon accounting based on Scopes 1-3 emissions.  This episode of Climate Roulette introduces the topic of E-Liability for listeners not familiar with it. Another episode being released at the same time offers a much more detailed look at E-Liability for listeners wanting that additional detail.  

3.5% has become famous as the fraction of the population that, if activated to protest, should lead to political change.  But the actual meaning of the number is a lot less clear than that.  In this Climate Roulette episode we explore the history of the number, and how it should be interpreted. 

Climate Stripes Day profiles the idea of climate stripes that Professor Ed Hawkins pioneered in 2018.  Stripes are all over the place today (at least in Europe - not so much in the United States).  Learn more in this episode, and consider purchasing Climate Stripes merchandise to bring the Stripes to the U.S.!  

The topic of "climate roulette" dates back a long ways - almost 40 years.  We've launched a podcast series looking at the evolution of climate risk discussions across some 18 reports, starting in 1987.  This episode launches the series! 

A report written in 2014 makes the case that carbon emissions do not represent a net societal cost, but a net societal benefit.  The report is not technically credible, but it is worth understanding the arguments being made, because they will continue to pop up as part of climate change misinformation campaigns, and as arguments in climate change litigation cases.  

There is a huge debate over carbon offsets as a climate change mitigation strategy, but relatively little discussion of the most important contribution to the challenge facing carbon offsets, namely their intangibility.  This episode starts by discussing the challenge of counterfeit products generally, despite their tangibility, and then expands the conversation to carbon offsets as a totally intangible commodity. 

You've no doubt heard of tropical deforestation, but did you know the perception of tropical deforestation as a global problem dates back almost 50 years?  Probably not!  This episode retraces the conversation, leading up to today's concerns about climate change tipping points resulting from hitting deforestation thresholds.
