1 Climate News: Late U.S. stand-up comedian, George Carlin, talks plastic: 'The planet will be fine, but we're going away' 56:37
Late U.S. stand-up comedian, George Carlin , joked about plastic and the fate of the planet, and this human creation is on the international agenda.

1 Interview: 'Unless we solve climate change, all these other issues are going to be unsolvable': Dr David Holmes, Climate Communications Australia 36:19
Dr David Holmes (pictured) is an upbeat, friendly and co-operative fellow who is the Managing Director and founder of " Climate Communications Australia ". CCA, as it is known, can be found in the Melbourne building of the Royal Society of Victoria in the city's La Trobe Street. This episode had a less-than-positive start when a pre-arranged phone call to record the interview fell apart because of unusable audio. We arranged to meet in Melbourne and we quickly ran into trouble again when a busy Dr Holmes had forgotten the keys to his office and so we moved to a nearby coffee shop, which was a little noisy, but okay. More troubles - my inadequate knowledge of audio resulted in the gain in Dr Holmes' microphone being too low, and my microphone wasn't working at all. The resultant episode is a workaround, and while far from ideal, it still helps us better understand something about the important, and critical work of Climate Communications Australia…

1 Interview: Phnxx will be one of many exhibitors at the Bendigo National Renewables in Agriculture Conference and Expo on July23 22:56
The Chief Operating Officer, Wei-Chi Lee, (pictured) and one of the trio of founders of the Melbourne-based company, Phnxx , will be in Bendigo on Wednesday, July 23. We-Chi will be at the National Renewables in Agriculture Conference and Expo to be held at the city's View St Capital Theatre. Phnxx has a stand-alone solar/battery, containerised array of equipment that allows a farmer, regardless of what they are growing or producing, to quickly, easily, and relatively cheaply adopt renewable energy, eliminating, almost entirely, the cost vagaries of electricity to run their farm. The Bendigo conference is another in a series of annual events organised by Karin Stark , who lives on a cotton and wheat farm in Narromine, providing her with a firsthand perspective on the inherent energy challenges faced by farmers. Karin was a guest on " Climate Conversations ".…

Auckland University's Dr Timothy Welch has applied his urban design skills to help local councils better understand what they need to do to keep their towns and cities cooler in a warming world. Dr Welch recently wrote about this on The Conversation in the story: " NZ cities are getting hotter: 5 things councils can do now to keep us cooler when summer comes ". His story begins: "Stand on any car park on a sunny day in February and the heat will radiate through your shoes. At 30°C air temperature, that asphalt hits 50–55°C – hot enough to cause second-degree burns to skin in seconds."…

1 Interview: Climate change demands a World War Two-like response from Australia, and the world, according to climate analyst and author, David Spratt 21:50
David Spratt (pictured) points to Australia's commitments to other crises to illustrate his arguments on how and why we should respond to the unfolding emergency of climate change. He wrote about that in an article published recently in The Canberra Times, available now on his website, " Climate Code Red ". The article asks the question: "How bad can climate damage get?" And then answers that "Worse than you imagine". David, working with the late Phillip Sutton, co-wrote, in 2008, the prescient book " Climate Code Red ". In the final paragraph on his latest piece, David writes: "All of this leads to one conclusion: we are on the edge of a precipice and humanity now needs to throw everything at the climate threat, literally “all hands on deck”. The late Prof. Will Steffen’s call to make climate the primary target of policy and economics is now a survival imperative. The business-as-usual delusion embraced by policymakers that climate is just another issue is laid bare by the 1.5°C time-bomb." David is an Australian climate policy analyst and advocate, and Research Director at the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration. Spratt co-authored the 2008 book Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action , which argued for urgent, large-scale action to address the climate crisis. He co-authored 2018’s What Lies Beneath: The Understatement of Existential Climate Risk with Ian Dunlop, which called for a reframing of climate science within an existential risk management framework. His work explores climate threats and human security, risk methods, and the need for restorative action.…
