The Common Good Podcast #100–Actions on Climate Science When National Decision-Makers Are Hostile and Big Business Won’t Do Nearly Enough

Listeners, you may have heard of the climate summit held this past Sep 12-14 in San Francisco.  What happened there? Our conversation today is with two people who were there: Derek and Nancy Casady. Oh, and what’s Al Gore doing these days? Hopefully you saw his 2006 documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”  We’ll also hear about Gore’s recent conference in Los Angeles.

This program is entitled “Actions on Climate Science When National Leaders Are Hostile and Big Business Won’t Do Nearly Enough”

Not only fail us, but work against us.

Even at the state level, in too many cases decision-makers are not acting to protect and serve the people. Take the example of North Carolina. Legislators there voted in 2012 to ban the use of a report that showed the ocean could rise as much as 39 inches by 2100.

But then there are the stories coming out of San Francisco, Sep. 8 and then Sep 12-14.  Some governors, mayors, and businesses are living by a different narrative.

Article by Oliver Milman in The Guardian, Thursday, Sep. 27, 2018

“It’s extraordinarily challenging to get to the 1.5C target and we are nowhere near on track to doing that,” said Drew Shindell, a Duke University climate scientist and a co-author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which will be unveiled in South Korea next month.

“While it’s technically possible, it’s extremely improbable, absent a real sea change in the way we evaluate risk. We are nowhere near that.”

In the 2015 Paris climate pact, international leaders agreed to curb the global temperature rise to 2C above the era prior to mass industrialization, with an aspiration to limit this to 1.5C. The world has already warmed by around 1C over the past century, fueling sea level rises, heatwaves, storms and the decline of vulnerable ecosystems such as coral reefs.

Derek & Nancy Casady were our guests a year ago on TCGP #91 telling of their experience with The Climate Mobilization. Then they said. “Climate Crises Are Moving Fast! They’re Big! And They Require a WWII Size Mobilization.” In this episode they share their most recent experiences.

The Common Good Feature: GrowthBusters is a movie, a blog, a podcast, over 100 short YouTube videos–the products of Dave Gardner and his small staff. It has a lot in common with Jubilee OneEarth Economics and Simple Living Works! It deals with ECONOMIC GROWTH, OVERPOPULATION, URBAN GROWTH, OVERCONSUMPTION and Media Bias toward unsustainable growth. Visit GrowthBusters.org and consider sponsoring a showing the movie Growthbusters: Hooked on Growth (2013) in your community.

In the next TCGP episode (11/15/18) we’ll hear from two women leading Jubilee Circles in Mexico. I recorded our conversation on my recent trip to Mexico to address a class there about Jubilee Economics.

NOTE: the sound quality of the interview portion of this episode is subpar but the content is strong. Please be patient.
