Great show as always. But ever since the IPCC SR15, the way I judge the success or failure of each COP is whether or not there is a global agreement to price GHG pollution along the minimum price level specified by the IPCC: $135/tCO2e in 2030 and rising at least $8/year through 2100. How to do it equitably: carboncashback.org/carbon-cash-back. The US carbon price gap is growing: bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-pdf.
An economic crisis, thousands struggling to pay the mortgage due to high interest rates and increased number using foodbanks/on welfare. Please stop saying we’re privileged. It’s divisive, it doesn’t help
Definitely the most pleasant and yet motivational podcast on clinate change. My absolute favorite.
With respect to consumerism, there is plenty we can and need to spend on right now...green infrastructure. Maybe it's not as impulsive but it feels a lot better for a lot longer. Thanks for a great podcast and inspiring guests!

Thank you so much! That was so insightful! I am feeling more at the optimism end of things now! I've pre-ordered the book and I can't wait!
Oh look, some jackass trying to fuel and merch off outrage culture b.s.
Revelatory episode explaining how politicking trumps rationality. This is what we (the sustainability supporters) need to hear. So we can understand how to influence in this irrational arena. Corporate lobbyists are clearly effective. Not a moral bone in their bodies, but brilliant at getting a message across, at spinning a story, at knowing a network, and spotting political linkages. Why don't we (the sustainability supporters) pay them to lobby FOR sustainable initiatives ?

I have an environmental / energy role in a FTSE 100 company. I have been using the phrase "outrage and optimism" to structure my communications since episode 1. (Thank you ! The phrase is simple language; it presents both sides, negative and positive, yet the negative "outrage" is a positive active word, it is not "anxiety and optimism.") Now, from Episode 7, Every Breathe Matters, I'm adopting the phrase "planetary health and public heath" to explain how global issues impact households, families, and individual employees.
A suggestion for a specific system change: a steadily rising carbon fee on fossil fuel production in all countries (and CBAMs for the laggards). Rebate all the money collected to from coal, oil, & gas producers to all households on an equal per-capita basis each month. Set the price schedule to match the IPCC’s minimum target price for a 1.5°C goal as specified in the https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ - $135 by 2030 and rising a minimum of $8 a year through 2100.
