Every climate communicator should listen to this interview with @Revkin. Challenging thinking about #climaterisk, #vulnerabilityemergency, #narrativecapture +++ Thanks for this great episode, @ChalClimate! #scicomm
One thing we loved about our discussion with @Revkin from @columbiaclimate was picking his brain on big climate questions. Here’s his take on ‘Is 1.5ºC still alive?’. Catch the full discussion: challengingclimate.org/18735…

I learned a bunch from @ChalClimate podcast's latest episode on the Great Barrier Reef. It's an interview with @FlyingOceanDr on the possibility that cloud brightening might reduce coral bleaching during the now-inevitable period overshooting 1.5°C. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas…

Developing world research into #SRM #geoengineering just doubled! My latest substack gives some reflections on the announcement from @DegreesNGO and my reactions to meeting the new teams in Istanbul in January. peteirvine.substack.com/p/de…

🚨Big #SRM News 🚨 The @DegreesNGO has just doubled the amount of research on #SRM in the global south! Developing nations will be most affected by SRM and will need to develop views on it which will require home-grown expertise. This is an important step towards that.

The @FlyingOceanDr of @SCUonline spoke to @ChalClimate about how Marine Cloud Brightening might help protect the Great Barrier Reef from rising temperatures He also discussed other ideas to protect the reef and his work on the first #SRM field test challengingclimate.org/18735…

I enjoyed this @ChalClimate conversation between @jesselreynolds @peteirvine and @H4wkm0th. A good reminder, when you're in Model Land, to always know where the exits are. challengingclimate.org/18735…

In the latest episode of @ChalClimate we spoke with @H4wkm0th about her new book: "Escape from Model Land: how mathematical models can lead us astray and what we can do about it" and its implications for climate change challengingclimate.org/18735… @BasicBooks @GRI_LSE

This is one of the main risks that I worried about re: @MakeSunsets – that their cavalier attitude would prompt a public and policy backlash. This concern was put squarely to the founder on @ChalClimate, where he dismissed it. Oops.
BREAKING: Following the launch of an unauthorized experiment, the Mexican government has announced a ban on future #SolarGeoengineering. CIEL welcomes the step. We call on all governments to ban solar geoengineering outdoor experiments, technology development, and deployment.

I think this was the most jaw-dropping quote from our interview with the founder of the for-profit solar #geoengineering Check out the full episode: challengingclimate.org/18735…
Replying to @ChalClimate
"I hope that ... island states, decide that in fact their situation is so desperate that they will allow us to launch from their space with their blessing. And ideally my dream is that the @CocaCola's of the world pay for this technology via their net zero commitments.” 6/9

Excellent podcast and great way to learn more about the ethics of geoengineering research.

Very useful and worthwhile discussion on the perils, motivations, and "thought process" of the whole @MakeSunsets endeavor.

Loving it thanks again @peteirvine. Definitely filling some big gaps for me. I like that it is quite science/policy content heavy which is a nice compliment to the other broader person oriented podcasts I know. Episode 25 with Patric Brown had some pretty sobering truths!

In Episode 25, @PatrickTBrown31 from @TheBTI speaks on his concerns about applying 'fraction of attributable risk' to climate issues. Check out his blogpost here: patricktbrown.org/2022/02/14…

The DEGREES initiative is the most important thing going on in solar geoengineering This project supports developing world researchers and is working to put the developing world at the forefront of the assessment of solar geoengineering. Follow them!
