In this conversation, Samantha Jade sits down with Thomas Schueneman, host of the Earthbound podcast and longtime climate journalist behind GlobalWarmingIsReal.com. Tom shares his journey from sound engineering to becoming a passionate voice on environmental stewardship. The discussion dives into the current state of the Paris Climate Agreement, the challenges of "ratcheting up ambition," U.S. on-again-off-again participation, and why the broader UN COP process feels stalled. They explore practical, less divisive ways to talk about environmental issues: focusing on clean energy independence, water quality, pollinator habitats, and solar/wind growth that appeals across political lines rather than triggering climate denial. Tom highlights inspiring stories from his podcast and practical realities. The conversation touches on coastal vulnerabilities, the promise and pitfalls of renewables, and the urgent need to reconnect with nature by simply stepping outside, touching grass, and appreciating the world around us. Tune in for a blend of personal stories, climate realism, and a shared call to get off screens and into the outdoors.
