Bonus: Processing climate change through fiction

Friday, July 4, 2025 • Duration 41:32

This week on "Everybody in the Pool," we are on one last week of summer vacation but we didn’t want to leave you without anything to listen to any longer! One of Molly’s other projects is a podcast called Futureverse, where she and co-host Ramanan Raghavendran interview authors of climate fiction, to try to understand how fiction and science fiction imagine a present or a future in the world of a changing climate. Recently, they interviewed the Harvard professor and scientist Naomi Oreskes. She is known for her climate change activism, for nonfiction works on coordinated disinformation, and for trying to communicate science to the masses — which led her to co-author a work of fiction called The Collapse of Western Civilization. We spoke with her about knowing what’s coming, how to stop it, how to win people to your side, and how sometimes fiction can tell better stories than science.

E83: Atomo Coffee: Finally, a coffee replacement that won’t break your heart

Episode 83

Thursday, April 3, 2025 • Duration 38:16

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re kicking off Earth Month with a month of action! Our choices matter, and one of the choices I’ve been avoiding is how to replace coffee — which contributes to deforestation, is energy intensive to produce, and isn’t good news for the coffee farmers, either. This week, we’re talking with Andy Kleitsch, founder of Atomo Coffee, about their sustainable coffee blends, the road to adoption and the compromises it sometimes entails, and some surprising trivia related to camels and date pits.

E82: Topofinance: How banking is the secret to gigantic climate action

Episode 82

Thursday, March 27, 2025 • Duration 34:03

This week on Everybody in the Pool, bummer news: your bank deposits could be funding the climate crisis? But we’d never give you bummer news without a solution! This week, Molly Wood speaks with Paul Moinester, founder of Topofinance, who reveals the shocking climate impact of conventional banking. Discover how just $10,000 in a major bank generates emissions equivalent to driving 10,000 miles yearly, and why moving your money to climate-friendly banks might be the easiest climate action you've never considered. Paul explains how corporations' banking emissions often exceed all their other emissions combined, and introduces innovative solutions that make greener banking both simple and profitable.

E81: This carbon removal tech is literally rocket science

Episode 81

Thursday, March 20, 2025 • Duration 39:38

This week on Everybody in the Pool, Molly Wood talks with Brad Hartwig, co-founder and CEO of Arbor Energy. Brad shares his remarkable journey from SpaceX rocket engineer to climate tech entrepreneur, developing technology that transforms waste biomass into carbon-negative energy using rocket propulsion principles. Yep, you read that right. A guy who used to want to be an astronaut woke up one day and realized this planet was the place to put his energy. Find out how Arbor’s tech could replace fossil fuel plants while simultaneously removing carbon from the atmosphere.

Show Highlights

Brad's transition from aerospace engineering at SpaceX to climate tech after witnessing California wildfires firsthand
How Arbor Energy's technology uses "oxy combustion" (inspired by rocket engines) to generate clean electricity while capturing carbon
The system produces no emissions - only pure CO2 (for sequestration) and clean water
Potential to replace up to 60 gigawatts of coal and natural gas plants in the US with carbon-negative power
Uses only waste biomass from agriculture, forestry, and potentially municipal waste
Economic benefits for wildfire prevention through monetizing brush clearing
First commercial deployment targeted for 2027

E80: Young people are suing for a livable future

Episode 80

Thursday, March 13, 2025 • Duration 31:46

In this episode of Everybody in the Pool, host Molly Wood speaks with Mat Dos Santos, co-executive director of Our Children's Trust, about how his organization is using the legal system to fight climate change on behalf of youth plaintiffs — the kids who have the most to lose if we get this wrong. Learn how landmark victories in Montana and Hawaii are creating precedents that could reshape climate policy across America.

Key Takeaways:

Constitutional Climate Rights: Our Children's Trust secured a historic victory in Montana, establishing that the state constitution's "clean and healthful environment" provision protects young people's right to a livable climate future.
Youth-Led Legal Action: Children and teens have standing to sue over climate policies because they face disproportionate, long-term impacts from climate change and have limited political voice.
Government Accountability: These cases highlight how fossil fuel development requires government permission and subsidies, challenging the "market-driven" narrative.
Recent Victories: The Montana Supreme Court ruling forces the state to consider climate impacts in permitting, while a Hawaii settlement requires complete transportation decarbonization by 2045.
Juliana v. United States: Learn about the ongoing federal case arguing that the U.S. government has violated young people's constitutional rights by knowingly promoting a fossil fuel system despite understanding climate dangers.

Episode 79

Thursday, March 6, 2025 • Duration 33:41

This week on Everybody in the Pool, host Molly Wood talks with Eliot Brooks, founder and CEO of Cocoon Carbon, about an unexpected climate tech challenge: how decarbonizing steel production is disrupting concrete's path to net zero.

Key Takeaways:

Learn how steel's shift to cleaner production methods has unintentionally limited concrete's access to low-carbon materials
Discover how Cocoon Carbon's modular technology transforms waste into valuable cement alternatives
Understand why addressing interconnected industrial challenges creates powerful climate tech opportunities
Find out how this solution makes decarbonization more affordable for both industries, representing 15% of global emissions

E78: The case for (investing in) nature

Episode 78

Thursday, February 27, 2025 • Duration 32:24

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re exploring what might be the most overlooked tool in our climate toolkit: nature itself. Yes, we like to geek out about purely technological solutions like fusion or direct-air carbon capture or electric vehicles or consumer compost devices, but there's a whole world of climate solutions that nature has already perfected over millions of years. But how does the financial world think about these solutions? Siddarth Shrikanth is an investor at Just Climate, a division of the Al Gore-founded investment firm Generation Investment Management. He’s also the author of a book called The Case for Nature. We talk about the twin crises of nature and biodiversity loss plus climate change, and how their convergence is a threat and an opportunity of equal scale.

E77: Gigascale’s Mike Schroepfer and the laws of climate technology

Episode 77

Thursday, February 20, 2025 • Duration 32:15

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re going to keep talking about tech and climate innovation with a longtime technologist turned climate tech investor. Mike Schroepfer runs the investment fund Gigascale Capital, which has invested in some of the biggest names in climate tech: Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Mill, Form Energy, and a couple other names that will be appearing soon on this very show. Schrep, as he’s known, is also the former CTO of Facebook, so he’s someone with a long view of how tech evolves and gets adopted. Join us for a fascinating conversation about the inflection point we’re at with climate tech, how AI can in fact lead to cleaner energy, and how a better world is still within reach.

E76: Feeding the Matrix: JoAnn Garbin

Episode 76

Thursday, February 13, 2025 • Duration 35:49

This week on Everybody in the Pool, it’s the last official episode of our miniseries, Feeding the Matrix, all about AI, energy use, and data center design. To cap off this series, Molly spoke with JoAnn Garbin, a longtime technologist, sustainability advocate, and innovator, about her work reimagining data center design at Microsoft. It turns out, the company realized years ago that communities might start rejecting new data center construction if they were too resource-intensive, polluting, or just plain ugly. Hear about how that exercise led to net-positive data center concepts, where that project sits now, and all about JoAnn’s new book, The Insider’s Guide to Innovation at Microsoft.
