Confronting the New Climate War

Saison 6 · Épisode 18

vendredi 17 mai 2024 • Durée 41:58

In this episode of Planet A, Professor Michael E. Mann – a leading figure in climate research and a vocal participant in public discourse on global warming – brings his insights into what he describes as the “New Climate War”.

He outlines how powerful interests, including fossil fuel industries and certain political forces, have long obstructed substantial climate action to safeguard their profits. These actors have mastered the art of polluting public discourse with misinformation.

Mann paints a dystopian picture of what the United States—and by extension, the planet—could face if the forces opposing climate action succeed in their agendas.

In spite of this, Mann maintains his stance as a stubborn optimist. He calls on listeners to reject apathy and engage in collective actions that push for substantial and systemic changes in environmental policy and practice.

Henrik Stiesdal - On developing the modern wind turbine and offshore wind technology

Saison 6 · Épisode 8

vendredi 22 septembre 2023 • Durée 52:21

In this episode of Planet A, Dan Jørgensen talks to a true pioneer within the field of wind energy, the father of the modern Danish wind turbine and the world's first offshore wind farm, Henrik Stiesdal, former Chief Technology Officer of Siemens Wind Power.

Stiesdal shares his personal story, recounting how, as a young farmer boy during the 1973 oil crisis, he built his first wind turbine to harness affordable wind power for his family. He also tells the story of how the world's wind turbines have ended up rotating clockwise and how they built the first offshore wind farm in the world, Vindeby Offshore Wind Farm.

Aside from the fascinating stories from a whole life in the business he also describes the special conditions that made the Danish offshore wind adventure possible and explains key factors to the success – among others when Danish pensions funds started to invest in the wind farms before they were even built.

They also discuss the low cost and other merits of offshore wind, even when the wind doesn’t blow. As well as the future of offshore wind, which could potentially meet global electricity consumption needs tenfold.

Stiesdal finishes off with an insight into his latest projects – the floating offshore wind farm and the technology of pyrolysis, that he is now working on.

You can watch the TED-talk mentioned in the podcast, where Dan Jørgensen brought Stiesdal first small rotor to the international scene, here:

Chris Bowen – Changing the course of Australian Climate Policy

Saison 6 · Épisode 7

vendredi 11 août 2023 • Durée 41:40

In this episode of Planet A Dan Jørgensen talks to Chris Bowen, Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy.

This July was the hottest month ever recorded. Just another fact that underlines that humanity has to live with the devastating consequenses of climate change such as natural disasters.

“No country is being spared, and they're increasingly frequent, increasingly severe, and increasingly unnatural. They're not natural disasters anymore, because they're caused by human activity” says Chris Bowen.

But what can governments such as the Australian and the Danish do to tackle the climate crisis? How do you ensure green transition of an economy that used to build on fossil fuels? And what do we need to get out of COP28 in Dubai?

That’s being discussed in this episode where Chris Bowen shares his experience with setting a new and ambitious course for Australian climate policy, passing Australia’s Climate Act and increasing the national climate targets.

Rainn Wilson - Is there Anything Funny to Say about Climate Change?

Saison 6 · Épisode 4

vendredi 9 juin 2023 • Durée 54:57

In this episode Dan Jørgensen talks to American actor and comedian Rainn Wilson. He is perhaps best known for playing Dwight Schrute on the NBC sitcom “The Office” which has earned him three consecutive Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. But Rainn Wilson is also strongly engaged in climate activism, and he works tirelessly to raise awareness of global warming.

Wilson and Jørgensen crack a couple of jokes and discuss how humor can be used in the fight against climate change and what people can do to make a difference – whatever their trade or profession. They also discuss why Rainn Wilson changed his name to “Rainfall Heat Wave Rising Sea Levels Wilson” before the international climate negotiations last year at COP27 in Sharm-El-Sheik.

They talk about the different climate initiatives that Wilson is advocating. Wilson is an advisory board member of the Arctic Basecamp, created by Professor Gail Whiteman, whom Wilson mentions in the podcast. They attended the annual World Economic Forum in Davos to speak “science to power” and launched the Arctic Risk Platform to create awareness of the disturbing effects of rising temperatures and climate change already evident on the Arctic ice sheet in Greenland.

Wilson has been engaged in a sweeping range of projects, from hosting the Saturday Night Live show to founding SoulPancake, a digital media company that explores life’s big questions as part of his search for clarity.

Wilson also hosts the Youtube Series: An Idiots Guide to Climate Change.

He was also part of the TED Countdown for COP26 in Glasgow where he asked other comedians: “Can climate change ever be funny?”.
