Life in the Greenhouse

Carbon Accounting, Reporting, and Management Lab

Life in the Greenhouse documents the effects of the rising concentration of carbon in our atmosphere. Season Two: Trees Remember shares the story of scientists studying what trees in the Southwest remember about drought. We investigate what tree memory means for the concentration of carbon in our atmosphere and for human life in the greenhouse we call Earth. In Season One, we use greenhouse gas accounting as a tool to analyze the hype coming from oil and gas companies about their clean energy

S2 E4: The Carbon Cycle Connects Us

Life in the Greenhouse ·

2025/07/24

What does research on tree memory have to do with humans? In episode four, we answer this question by discussing the carbon cycle and how both trees and humans fit into it. Carbon is a key building block of both trees and humans—it’s also in our food, clothing, and energy systems, and it touches all of human society. We talk about trees’ role in humanity’s future as we rearrange Earth’s carbon, and we talk about what tree memory has to do with it all.

How can scientists measure drought impacts? How do they know what’s truly an effect of drought vs. what would have happened anyway in a forest? In episode three of Season Two: Trees Remember, we meet two scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who combine satellite data with computing to discover the math behind forest behavior. They’re figuring out how drought affects a forest's ability to grow—to store carbon—not just during a drought, but years later.

S2 E2: Tree Ring Detectives

Life in the Greenhouse ·

2025/05/06

How do scientists gather information from tree rings? In episode two of Season Two: Trees Remember, we take you with us as two scientists gather tree core samples in the forest and then process them into a treasure trove of information about tree memories of past climate. We explain how these scientists use tree rings in a unique way compared to past tree ring studies. And we explore why this team focuses on ecosystems where water is scarce and why that matters for humans.

2025/04/23

What is tree memory? And why is one group of curious scientists dedicating years to studying it? In episode one of Season Two: Trees Remember, we answer those questions and explain why understanding tree memory in the Southwest is especially important for understanding humanity’s future.

S1 E4: Arriving at an Answer

Life in the Greenhouse ·

2024/06/04

Throughout this season we have been diving into a central question: Is it time to start calling oil & gas companies energy companies? In the final episode of season 1 of Life in the Greenhouse, we finally arrive at an answer through three interrelated conversations spanning greenhouse gas disclosure regulations, low-carbon transition plans, and the role of oil & gas in international climate negotiations.

S1 E3: Shades of Green in the Carbon Offset Market

Life in the Greenhouse ·

2024/03/25

Carbon offsets have been the center of some high profile scandals over the past few years, but what else is there to these stories? Why does the voluntary carbon market exist and how do we know if carbon offsets are actually making a difference? Tune in to Life in the Greenhouse to learn about all the shades of green in the carbon offset market.

Countless companies, including fossil fuel companies, have pledged to achieve net zero emissions. This sounds like great news! But there’s more to the story. We’re talking about what net zero really means and how a company could actually get there while explaining the importance of the Science-Based Targets Initiative.Show Notes: 2:00 The ⁠Carbon Accounting, Reporting, and Management Lab⁠ (CARML) at Northern Arizona University 8:12 2015 Paris Agreement, relevance to the history of net-zero targets,

2023/12/11

Extreme Makeover: The Oil and Gas Edition is afoot. The companies we’ve long known as fossil fuel companies are telling us they’re actually energy companies committed to finding solutions to climate change. We’re not so sure, so we’re parsing it out using greenhouse gas accounting and discussing the concept of emission scopes along the way.

Life in the Greenhouse: Season 1 Teaser

Life in the Greenhouse ·

2023/12/10

Climate change is a problem driven by fossil fuels. And yet, companies we’ve long known as producers of fossil fuels are rebranding themselves as key players in the fight against climate change, all while spending billions of dollars exploring for more oil & gas. We’ll spend our first season examining this rebrand using greenhouse gas accounting as our investigative tool.
