We stand at the edge of chaos. The infrastructure and the living systems on which we depend are unraveling. Professor Leah Rampy, author of the book EARTH and SOUL, discusses with Dale Walkonen how the interconnectedness of life calls us to collaborate with each other and with nature. While our current predicament is complex and existential, with no clear answer that will set everything right, we can lay stepping stones for future generations to find their way to a livable future.

What will the planet be like in 10 years or 20 years? #ClimateBreakdown is upon us, and critical systems are on the verge of failure. Will young people plan their lives based on the destructive paradigm of endless growth, and consumerism? Or will they see themselves as leaders in a movement to adapt to the changing conditions that are in the pipeline? What role will AI play in our future? #TomRiley, former NASA engineer and author of three climate detective novels, #PaulBeckwith and host, Dale Walkonen explore the how stories can inspire necessary and ethical action. Tom's latest novel, Dark Heat, is available on https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Heat-Sarah-JanetN-Mystery/dp/1778832075 note: Abigail Disney, not the CEO of Disney, opposes the use of private jets.

Greenland’s ice sheets contain enough fresh water to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While this is not an immediate threat, the latest research shows that #Greenland’sGlaciers are shrinking

Greenland’s ice sheets contain enough fresh water to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While this is not an immediate threat, the latest research shows that #Greenland’sGlaciers are shrinking at seven times the rate of just a few years ago, an average of 30 million tonnes an hour. Fresh water entering the ocean from this melting has major implications for the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation , or #AMOC, which is critical to maintain global weather patterns. Peter Wadhams, Emeritus Professor of Ocean Physics at Cambridge University and Climate Scientist, Paul Beckwith describe what is happening on this sensitive continent.

Much of the world’s infrastructure is made of concrete, whose production accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions. With a lifespan of 50-100 years, it deteriorates and has to be replaced.

Much of the world’s infrastructure is made of concrete, whose production accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions. With a lifespan of 50-100 years, it deteriorates and has to be replaced. Increasing its structural durability, to 200 years or more, has a significant impact on the environment by reducing the 4 billion tons of CO2 produced annually by its manufacture. #MartinHalliwell, our guest today, has over 10 patents designed to lower CO2 emissions in the making of structures, in what he calls Earth honoring systems, including more durable concrete and geothermal installations integrated with windmills.

Katie Lamb is among the strongest boulderers in the world, but her tick list shows that she’s not motivated by grades or notoriety. Instead, she’s constantly on the hunt for boulders that inspire her full attention, something she can quietly work away at with total focus. When her send of Box Therapy (V15/16) pushes her to the center stage of the climbing conversation, what should have been a crowning achievement becomes a challenge to define what drew her to climbing in the first place.
