Climate One is a podcast about addressing the growing climate emergency. The hosts of the show are Greg Dalton and Ariana Brocious. Both have extensive experience in climate journalism for radio.
Climate change is a complex problem, so it requires a multi-pronged solution. The issue is so significant that it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In the podcast, Brocious and Dalton talk to people working to make a difference at every level.
Many guests on the Climate One podcast are policymakers and lawmakers. The hosts travel to COP28 in Dubai to talk to them. They meet Claire Stockwell, a climate policy analyst. They also chat with Abigael Kima, who chaired the UN Youth Advisory Group. The hosts speak with US Representative Ro Khanna in San Francisco about Big Oil's hold on policymakers. They interview Cory Booker, a US senator from New Jersey. He believes that regulating Big Ag would help alleviate the climate crisis.
Dalton and Brocious also invite climate activists to the show. Acting legend Jane Fonda organizes Fire Drill Fridays, a national movement that challenges governmental inaction. Filmmaker Ken Burns points his lens at the American Buffalo's loss of habitat. Many of the guests are fighting for Indigenous rights. They include Chéri Smith, who campaigns for tribal representation in talks on the climate.
Some episodes of the podcast carry a hopeful message. One is about the fifteen-minute city, where everything is a bike ride away. There are interviews with people who have changed careers to benefit the climate. Activist Rebecca Solnit explains why she's still hopeful. Neighbors explain the role of the community in addressing climate change. Transportation experts are working to achieve zero-emissions trucking.
The Climate One podcast is a great choice for those wanting to stay informed about global warming. It's also a good resource for people looking for ways to contribute to the solution.
