Climate changes everything, often in unexpected ways. I’ll unpack those changes — from life basics like energy and water to business, technology, culture, geopolitics, travel, transportation, and the built environment — and look for the “thrive” in each change. Sustainability; resilience; diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice; and (often surprising) challenges and opportunities. Whether you are a seasoned Climate Champion or just ”climate-curious,” I look forward to exploring our transforming world together.

Thinking Climate Change is a series of interviews with researchers at the University of St Andrews (Scotland) that considers the ways their work addresses questions related to climate change and the climate crisis.

Chocolate is the center of a massive global industry worth billions of dollars annually, yet its future in our modern world is currently under threat. In Chocolate Crisis, Dale Walters discusses the problems posed by plant diseases, pests, and climate change, looking at what these mean for the survival of the cacao tree. Walters takes listeners to the origins of the cacao tree in the Amazon basin of South America, describing how ancient cultures used the beans produced by the plant, and follows the rise of chocolate as an international commodity over many centuries.

In Escaping Nature, Orrin H. Pilkey and his coauthors offer concrete suggestions for how to respond to the threats posed by global climate change. They argue that while we wait for the world’s governments to get serious about mitigating climate change we can adapt to a hotter world through technological innovations, behavioral changes, nature-based solutions, political changes, and education.

Burn Fuel Better will shed light on some of the unintentional mistakes we are making to address climate change and suggest practical solutions we can make to minimize and possibly reverse the impact — solutions that can be fully implemented today, not 20-30 years in the future, when it will be too late. With an accidental discovery of lowering certain types of emissions from diesel engines, this new way of burning fuel minimizes black carbon from entering the atmosphere and adds life-sustaining oxygen.

One cannot turn on the news today without a report on an extreme-weather event or the latest update on Antarctica. But while our politicians argue, the truth is that climate change is already here.

For them, climate change is not an abstract concept or policy issue, but the reality of daily life.
