Is it Curtains for Glaciers? Slowing Down Polar Melting, with Professor John Moore, University of Lapland 53:59

10d ago53:59

53:59

As the Earth gets warmer, the world’s glaciers get smaller.

The obvious solution is for us to drastically reduce global greenhouse gas emissions but, even if we…

The world is awash in plastic. According to a study published in 2020, total production of plastics since 1950 is now over 10 billion tons, with more than half of that simply discarded.

You probably receive an electricity bill every month from your local utility and, after complaining about it, dutifully pay it. But do you ever stop to read your electricity bill?

Do We Dominate Nature because We Fear Death? with Professor James Rowe, University of Victoria 51:24

3M ago51:24

51:24

Why do humans dominate nature and why have they done so? Is it because of God told Adam and Eve to “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”? Is it because capitalism sees the world in terms of …

1:04:23

The light and energy from the sun falls on us all, humans, animals and plants. That light is what sustains life on Earth.

Solar electricity is the fuel of the future. But can we go solar without damaging the environment? Solar farms in distant places need transmission lines to get their product to the market.

We live in a Consumer Society. Rising consumption is good, since it makes the economy grow. At the same time, we face a Climate Crisis. Rising consumption is bad, since it makes carbon emissions grow. People across the Global North believe we must reduce emissions but they are reluctant to reduce their consumption. What can we do?

Nuclear power is being touted as a way of providing clean energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and paving the way to a zero-emission future.

Let's get simple. If you know how to drive a car or ride a bike, you can grasp being open, letting go, and being in the flow. It's always simpler than we make it.

168. The danger of Judging your intuition 14:46

2y ago14:46

14:46

We all judge its human nature. We definitely judge intuition either if it s real, can you use it for business, and what the heck is it really.

Ignoring it because it is no…

It is easy to convince ourselves that things are proving themselves true when we make logic and our desire to workout match up.

165. Intuition is a skill like driving a car 18:53

2y ago18:53

18:53

Once you learn to drive a car, it's nearly automatic. You can relax and do what's now natural and listen to the radio, talk to someone, drink a coffee, and look at the area around you. Driving requires you to be relaxed and alert, looking for signs of where to go or when you need to react. Driving and intuition are similar to this. You need to be p…

Imagine having a larger sewing needle in your hand, and you drop it in a pile of hay.
