- Climate Data and Art, Part 1 - The Tempestry Project and Jill PeltoThis episode of Warm Regards, the first of two on the intersections of climate data and art, will feature conversations with Emily McNeil and Justin Connolly, founders of the Tempestry Project, which uses climate data to create patterns that people can knit into scarves and tapestries, and Jill Pelto, a visual artist who incorporates climate data into a variety of natural landscapes. First, though, some thoughts on the US presidential election from our very relieved hosts.Show NotesPlease visit our Medium page for a photos and images from the episode, as well as a full transcript:https://ourwarmregards.medium.com/climate-data-and-art-part-1-the-tempestry-project-and-jill-pelto-d7bc6882c6c7You can find out more about the Tempestry Project and get your own kit at their website:https://www.tempestryproject.com/You can see some of the Tempestries created for US National Parks at this gallery:https://spark.adobe.com/page/SynDUSs9izWdc/To learn more about Warming Stripes, and create a custom visualization for your area, visit the project's website:https://showyourstripes.info/For more about Jill Pelto and her work, visit her website:http://www.jillpelto.com/You can also purchase prints of Jill Pelto's work at her Etsy shop:https://www.etsy.com/shop/GlaciogenicArtPlease consider becoming a patron to help us pay our producer, Justin Schell, our transcriber, Joe Stormer, and our social media coordinator, Katherine Peinhardt, who are all working as volunteers.

- The Surprising Truth About Environmentalists and Voting (Re-Broadcast and Update)As the US presidential election nears, we wanted to re-share a conversation we had on Warm Regards in October of 2018 with Nathaniel Stinnett, the founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project. Many of the things we discussed with him then, especially why lots of environmentalists don't vote, are just as relevant today. After the 2018 conversation, Nathaniel shares an update about the organization's work leading up to this year's presidential election and how you can get involved beyond voting.To learn more about and get involved in the Environmental Voter Project, visit:https://www.environmentalvoter.org/Make sure you have a plan to vote:IWillVote.comPlease consider becoming a patron to help us pay our producer, Justin Schell, our transcriber, Joe Stormer, and our social media coordinator, Katherine Peinhardt, who are all working as volunteers.

- Fighting Back Against Climate Disinformation and Intimidation, with John Cook and Lauren KurtzThis episode of Warm Regards, part of our season-long exploration of the often unexpected stories behind climate data, builds on our last episode's conversation with Amy Westervelt and Emily Atkin on climate disinformation. We speak with John Cook, from Skeptical Science and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication, and Lauren Kurtz, the Executive Director for the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund, about the different ways that those who care about climate science and climate action can fight back against myths, disinformation, and intimidation.The full transcript of this episode can be found on our Medium page:https://medium.com/@ourwarmregards/fighting-back-against-climate-disinformation-and-intimidation-with-john-cook-and-lauren-kurtz-5a444e0ab673Show NotesTo find out more about John Cook's work, visit the following sites:Skeptical Sciencehttps://www.skepticalscience.comCranky Unclehttps://crankyuncle.comThe Center for Climate Change Communicationhttps://www.climatechangecommunication.orgFor more on the FLICC method:https://skepticalscience.com/history-FLICC-5-techniques-science-denial.htmlTo download your own copy of the Debunking Handbook:https://www.skepticalscience.com/Debunking-Handbook-now-freely-available-download.htmlTo learn more about the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund, visit:http://csldf.orgFor more on Dr. Maria Caffrey and her censorship fight with the National Park Service, see this Guardian article:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/25/trump-administration-climate-crisis-denying-scientistTo learn more about "ClimateGate," see this article from the Union of Concerned Scientists:https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/debunking-misinformation-about-stolen-climate-emailsFinally, how do we know it's not the sun causing global warming?

- Changing Climate Beliefs with Jenn Marlon and Bob InglisThis episode, part of our season-long look at the unexpected stories and effects of climate data, features two conversations about what people believe about climate change and what causes them to change those beliefs. First, we talk to Jenn Marlon to get an update on the changing numbers in the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication’s Six Americas survey. Then, we talk to former Representative Bob Inglis, who very publicly changed his beliefs on climate change, and now works to convince other fellow conservatives to support action on climate change.For a full transcript of this episode, please check out our Medium page:https://medium.com/@ourwarmregards/changing-climate-beliefs-with-jenn-marlon-and-bob-inglis-2be646310eccShow NotesDr. Jenn Marlon:https://environment.yale.edu/profile/jennifer-marlonBob Inglis:https://www.climatechangecommunication.org/portfolio-view/bob-inglis/Global Warming’s Six Americas, from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication:https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/about/projects/global-warmings-six-americas/Take the Six Americas Super Short Survey (SASSY) to see which category you’re in:https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/sassy/Our first conversation with Jenn on Warm Regards, from April of 2018:https://warmregardspodcast.com/episodes/there-is-no-red-and-blue-america-because-theres-s1!ba97cFor more on environmentalists and how they vote (and often don’t vote), listen to our conversation with Nathaniel Stinnett from the Environmental Voter Project:https://warmregardspodcast.com/episodes/the-surprising-truth-about-environmentalists-and-s1!aa6c1https://www.environmentalvoter.org"Climate Is Taking On a Growing Role for Voters, Research Suggests," the New York Times story that talks about the rising position of climate change as an issue public:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/24/climate/climate-change-survey-voters.html#click=https://t.co/xUFZmqJiL0You can find out more about the work of Dr. Rachel Tilling and Dr. Kaustubh Thirumalai at their websites:Rachel Tilling:https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sed/bio/rachel.l.tillingKaustubh Thirumalai:https://thirumalai.geo.arizona.eduInspired by the data story you heard and want to share yours with us?

About Warm Regards
From the publisher's feed
Warm Regards is a podcast about life on a warming planet. The show is hosted by Jacquelyn Gill, a paleoecologist at the University of Maine, and Ramesh Laungani, a biologist at Doane University.…
Produced by Justin Schell, with transcription and social media support from Joe Stormer and Katherine Peinhardt. Our conversations are often honest and raw, as we talk with newsmakers, researchers, activists, policymakers, artists, and others as we push past the graphs and the headlines to get at the heart of what it means to live and work in a warming world. Our current season focuses on the often unexpected human stories behind climate data, from how it's collected to what we do with it. We're just as much a podcast about what it means to be human as we are about climate change--how we think, decide, love, grieve, change our behavior, and roll up our sleeves to tackle our toughest challenges.
