    Trump Threatens "Annihilation?—Why Isn't Everyone Talking About This?
    Oct 10 2026
    In the United Nations Genera Assembly, of all places, President Trump threatened to "annihilate" Iran and to ensure "no future generations." He is suggesting nuclear holocaust on the most severe level. For the President of a nuclear superpower to make such a threat is the biggest news of the year, and yet no one seems to be talking about it. Well, we are. And we're letting you know what it has to do with the climate crisis and global oil supplies.

  • The Strange Case of a Trump Pardon and Electric Trucks

    The Strange Case of a Trump Pardon and Electric Trucks
    Oct 5 2026
    Amid other climate news in this episode: One of the more bizarre pardons President Trump has issued came for a man who claimed he was making electric trucks when he was not. The bizarre circumstances of this case show nothing bad at all about the climate tech industry. In fact, they prove there is great eagerness and a large market for electric trucks. What they discredit is the competence of the finance industry, and we explain why.

  • Houthi Attack: One More Reason to Stop Oil Dependence

    Houthi Attack: One More Reason to Stop Oil Dependence
    Sep 30 2026
    A rebel group on the Arabian Peninsula called the Houthis have seized the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the narrow strip of water between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. This is the corridor for a vast amount of global shipping, the way from Asia to Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Yet another major disruption, or threat of disruption, to oil supplies. Yet another hike in prices of just about everything because the world cannot wean itself away from burning oil. In this episode, we talk about this latest big development in the Middle East and why it is one more reason to stop depending on oil as fast as we possibly can.

  • Europe's Climate Suicide and Venezuela's Oil 'Agreement'

    Europe's Climate Suicide and Venezuela's Oil 'Agreement'
    Sep 21 2026
    Europe just had the summer from hell, and incredibly, they have changed E.U. policy to allow MORE carbon emissions, not less. Their land will burn faster and their rivers will dry up faster as a result. This is climate suicide. Also, our comments on the US-Canada trade war, and the US-Venezuela oil extraction agreement.

    Climate Disasters of August 2026
    Sep 17 2026
    We continue to run down the list of what the climate crisis is doing right now in unsparing detail. This month's tally includes the enormous wildfires in France and Spain, the largest those countries have ever seen. The fires went right up to the outskirts of Bordeaux and Madrid. Less widely reported were fires on the outskirts of London, too, where there will likely be a shortage of certain foods because all of Wales and half of England is in drought. And much more.

  • Communication Breakdown: News Media and Climate Scientists

    Communication Breakdown: News Media and Climate Scientists
    Sep 10 2026
    In this episode, we criticize the way news media report climate science, AND the way that the scientists express it. We have a communication breakdown. The message that volatile weather is due to climate change isn't coming through clearly in news coverage. So scientists (myself included) : let's look in the mirror. We can't wait for the 99% statistical significance threshold each time a reporter has a question. Also: artificial intelligence data centers are an easy climate-related issue for community organizing. And other climate topics.

    Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you know that climate change is causing devastating weather, drought, and heat, and it's all piling up in July. From a flood in Accra, Ghana to drought-fueled fires throughout Britain to atrocious air quality across the midwestern and eastern United States, this was an awful month.
