The moorhens are hatching (producing what the wife and I call “smudges”- impossibly cute round balls of feathers that can zip along). Therefore, the usually-daily canal walk becomes mandatory. Therefore, more podcasts will be listened to. And reviewed.
But the first today was one I listened to while doing some grunt work at the computer. It’s part of the well-established and very deservedly successful series “Just Have a Think” by Dave Borlace
The episode I listened to was “Hothouse Earth and an Ice-Free Arctic Sea. Starting in 2030?“
With the usual good production values, and precision, it outlines a recent paper about when the Arctic might have ice-free days.
The comments are moderated/curated, and therefore worth engaging with. Phase transition indeed…
The second podcast was listened to while hungry moorhens flew at me demanding (and getting) a feed.
It is from the wonderful New Books Network podcasts, and it is an interview with the author of
Against the Crisis:Economy and Ecology in a Burning World By Ståle Holgersen
The interview questions, by Stuti Roy, are fine (though I always think that authors should have their feet held to the fire about what, specifically, the “good guys” have done WRONG or inadequately, and what they need to do differently. UMMV) and the answers considered and well-delivered.
Well worth your time…
