Warming oceans are intensifying hurricanes, leading to more powerful winds, waves, and rain. Climate change also alters ocean currents, making storm paths less predictable and increasing their frequency. NASA highlights that a single hurricane can expend energy equivalent to 10,000 nuclear bombs.

Paul Beckwith explains what to expect as the climate crisis worsens.

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals annually for just 12% of the human diet, while also degrading topsoil.

Though regenerative farming is proposed, it often requires farm animals. This prompts the question: shouldn't we instead allow wildlife to return? Sailesh Rao (Climate Healers) and Larry Kopald (The Carbon Underground) discuss this with host Dale Walkonen.

The global climate emergency is undeniable, with extreme weather impacting every continent—from wildfires and heatwaves to droughts and ocean temperature anomalies. Despite these clear signs, political action to end fossil fuel subsidies remains insufficient. What future awaits us?

In this program, Peter Carter (Climate Emergency Institute) and Paul Beckwith (Climate System Scientist) explain why transitioning from fossil fuels is essential for our survival. The discussion is hosted by Dale Walkonen and edited by Mike Coe.

Glaciers are vital for global cooling and freshwater, but they are rapidly shrinking worldwide. Accelerating ice loss, particularly in the Himalayas, Alps, and at both poles, causes severe events

Glaciers are vital for global cooling and freshwater, but they are rapidly shrinking worldwide. Accelerating ice loss, particularly in the Himalayas, Alps, and at both poles, causes severe events like avalanches and flash floods, exacerbating disasters such as Pakistan's 2022 monsoons.

Professors Detlef Stammer (University of Hamburg) and Peter Wadhams (Cambridge University) will discuss these disappearing glaciers, their impacts, and potential conservation measures.

Vanessa Castle, a Fish and Wildlife Technician and member of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, is featured in the "Beautiful Undammed" episode of the new "Wild Hope" series. Releasing on YouTube August 28th, the episode highlights how local communities are restoring land and salmon populations with the newly freed river, bringing vital marine nutrients back to the ecosystem.

The entire "Wild Hope" series begins streaming on YouTube July 31st and is also available on PBS Nature. For more information and to sign up for updates, visit WildHope.tv or explore the launch toolkit here.

Canadian wildfires are generating hazardous smoke, drifting across the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. These tiny particles pose serious health risks to the lungs, heart, and brain. Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with unpredictable weather, ice storms, and drought fueling the fires, which have already released 17 million tons of CO2.

Experts Paul Beckwith and Patrick Hogan explain this worsening air quality as a critical symptom of the climate crisis. When smoke reached Washington D.C., legislators experienced firsthand the effects, reminiscent of the 1930s Dustbowl. The key question is whether this event will finally prompt significant action.

Italy, situated between the rapidly warming Adriatic and Mediterranean seas, is acutely vulnerable to climate change. Last year, severe drought drained many rivers and dried up 45% of its farmland.

This year, northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region faced catastrophic flooding, with rivers bursting banks and submerging thousands of acres after receiving half their annual rainfall in 36 hours. Professor Peter Wadhams, witnessing these crises firsthand from Turin, highlights heat as a major concern, regardless of varying wet or dry conditions.

In times of anxiety and global stress, maintaining equilibrium is crucial. Forests, from city parks to wild places, offer profound emotional and physical healing, extending beyond their carbon sequestration power.

Certified Nature therapy guides Sylvie Rokab and Sheila Laffey explain how "forest bathing" boosts immunity. Inhaling tree-emitted phytoncides enhances human natural killer (NK) cell activity, combating disease. Even short walks in nature provide lasting benefits.

The transition to wind and solar electricity presents a daunting challenge, requiring significant new transmission lines and battery storage. This must occur as storms and heat waves intensify and become more frequent.

Physicist Sascha von Meier, an electric grid specialist, believes this transition is feasible. However, communities must simultaneously prepare to protect people as climate change accelerates.
