Podcast 28: We need to talk about the latest IPCC report | with Peter Kalmus & Ella Gilbert (Patreon)
Content
Dear PatronsI hope this finds you all safe in these increasingly troubled times. Normally the Juice Media Podcast acts as a companion to out latest Honest Government Ad - which in this case was about the United Australia Party.But rather than spend more time on Clive Palmer's monumental bullshit, I want to turn my attention to more urgent matters.I was torn between dedicating this podcast to the situation in Ukraine - where we are seeing the most tragic and devastating events unfold - and the latest IPCC report, which came out last week. In the end I decided on the latter. Because the world is already focused on Ukraine - and rightly so. But very few people have noticed or even heard about the latest IPCC report. And unfortunately the climate crisis does not stop for wars, or pandemics.As you know by now, I'm a big believer in using the Juice Media to help amplify the voices of climate scientists. And that's why my guest today is not one, but two climate scientists: NASA scientist Peter Kalmus from California; and atmospheric scientist Ella Gilbert, from London.We talk about the IPCC's latest Working Group II Report and what we should be doing about it; the floods happening in Australia; and the psychological toll the climate crisis can have on all of us. I think Peter and Ella's comments at the end of their interviews will really help those who been experiencing anxiety and depression due to the climate crisis. So if you know of someone who might need it, please share it with them.Thank you, Patrons, for making the Juice Media Podcast possible. Because of your support I've been able to employ Ellen to edit the pod - which means we can get it out faster and I can get stuck into writing the next Honest Government Ad sooner.I'll catch you very soon with out next Honest Government Ad. Until then, take care of yourselves... and each other.Giordano
