As the region changes, opening up sea ice, a rush of industrial activity is underway. Offshore oil and gas drilling may be a key driver of that activity. In this podcast, we'll look at the potential environmental impact of this surge in activity. Shell is preparing to drill exploratory wells in Arctic waters. Are we ready for the consequences? http://podcasts.americanprogress.org/uploads/podcasts/arctic_drilling.mp3 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:29:37 -0500 no 15:23 oil, global warming, climate change, fossil fuels, Arctic, environment, climate change, global warming, renewable energy, energy efficiency, politics, technology Center for American Progress In this podcast, we feature a TED talk from NASA Climatologist James Hansen, who explains the detailed science of global warming and talks about his personal journey trying to raise awareness of the issue. http://podcasts.americanprogress.org/uploads/podcasts/3_22_12_james_hansen.mp3 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:27:09 -0500 no 20:25 global warming, climate change, extreme weather, science, environment, climate change, global warming, renewable energy, energy efficiency, politics, technology Center for American Progress How do you effectively debunk a myth? It's often not about how many facts you have, but you how present them. In this podcast, we'll talk with John Cook of Skeptical Science about his debunking handbook and how climate change communicators can better address denier talking points. http://podcasts.americanprogress.org/uploads/podcasts/2_24_12_john_cook.mp3 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 09:05:07 -0500 no 14:54 science, debate, politics, climate change, global warming, energy, climate change, global warming, renewable energy, energy efficiency, politics, technology Center for American Progress The link between climate change, migration and conflict is not an easy one to make. With so many factors to consider, there is much uncertainty around how the three influence one another. But that uncertainty should not stop us from addressing the problem with fresh ways of thinking about national security, argues Michael Werz, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.

And that's likely to continue into 2012. In this show, we'll talk with Manish Bapna of the World Resources Institute about the top energy and environment stories moving into 2012.

Many people are critical of Obama's stance on climate. But Browner says he's done a lot more than people give him credit for.

And to many conservative politicians who don't recognize climate science, government investments in clean energy should be wiped off the map. We'll talk to Secretary of Energy Steven Chu and Navy Secretary Ray Mabus about why we need strategic investments in the sector. Why the military is investing heavily in clean energy while planning for a changing climate. http://podcasts.americanprogress.org/uploads/podcasts/11.16.2011_secretary_mabus.mp3 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:26:52 -0500 no 12:49 military, renewable energy, climate change, energy, investment, government, global warming, climate change, global warming, renewable energy, energy efficiency, politics, technology Center for American Progress If we want to make a compelling case for transitioning away from fossil fuels, we need a better plan. In this episode, we look at the Rocky Mountain Institute's latest opus, which makes a comprehensive, business-focused case for an efficient, clean-energy economy. We'll also talk with Rick Fedrizzi of the U.S. Green Building Council about why the sector is "never going back." If you had a chance to make our economy cleaner and more profitable, would you? We have that chance now. http://podcasts.americanprogress.org/uploads/podcasts/11.8.2011_reinventingfire.mp3 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 09:01:28 -0500 no 17:43 renewable energy, energy efficiency, green buildings, green jobs, economics, national security, environment, climate change, global warming, renewable energy, energy efficiency, politics, technology Center for American Progress This week, the world hits 7 billion people. And more than 1.3 billion of those people still live in energy poverty. How are we going to expand univeral access to energy while addressing climate change? Kandeh Yumkella of the UN Industrial Development Program has been thinking a lot about how to solve the problem. How do 7 billion people get access to energy in a sustainable way? The answer isn't easy. But it's necessary. http://podcasts.americanprogress.org/uploads/podcasts/10.31.2011_kandeh_yumkella.mp3 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:19:35 -0500 no 12:59 global warming, climate change, industrialization, United Nations, economics, sustainability, energy, climate change, global warming, renewable energy, energy efficiency, politics, technology Center for American Progress In our first episode of the Climate Progress Podcast, we speak with Joe Romm, Climate Progress Editor, about communicating the science of climate change. We'll also talk to Jigar Shah, CEO of the Carbon War Room, about profitably deploying solutions to solve the problem. The war on climate science isn't about science. It's about communication. http://podcasts.americanprogress.org/uploads/podcasts/10.24.2011_climateprogress_intro.mp3 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:14:15 -0500 no 28:29 climate change, global warming, renewable energy, solar energy, wind energy, entrepreneurship, business, climate change, global warming, renewable energy, energy efficiency, politics, technology
