Today, Matt speaks with Drew Shula, trained architect and Founder and CEO of Verdical Group, about the part of the climate problem hiding in plain sight: the buildings we live and work in, which account for roughly 40% of global carbon emissions. He breaks down the two halves of a building's carbon footprint, the energy it burns and the materials it's made of, and makes the case that we already know how to build net zero today - almost nothing requires it, which is why net zero is still less than

DescriptionIn this episode of the MEER Podcast, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Adam McKay, the creator of The Big Short, Vice, Don't Look Up, and founder of Yellow Dot Studios, joins us to discuss how storytelling, climate communication, his latest essay The Gargantuan Lie That Is Collapsing the Climate, and why telling the truth about climate has become one of society's greatest challenges. Adam reflects on his transition from comedy into political and climate-focused filmmaking, and how

Wendy Mariko Johnson farms in Floyd County, Iowa, near Charles City. She grew up on an Iowa farm, left at 18 in the 1990s for an 18-year career in the Los Angeles fashion industry, and returned in 2010 with her husband Johnny Rafkin. Having watched farms close across Iowa in the 1980s, she came back determined to follow the three things that carried her parents through that era: diversification, low cost of production, and little to no debt. Today Wendy runs two businesses from the same land. Jóia

Around the world, women and girls spend hours each day gathering firewood and breathing in smoke from open fires. Herbert Murungi, co-founder of the Rural Environmental Sustainability Initiative (RESI), wants to change that. Clean cooking protects women and girls, children's health and forest biodiversity across Sub-Saharan Africa, but helping people to switch is a financial, technical, and cultural challenge. In conversation with HERO's Mauricio Porras, Herbert explains how a 15-year-old

What do carbon dioxide, a Texas ranch entrance, and a summit in Washington have in common? Each one could affect your royalty checks. In this month's news episode, we cover a start-up selling captured CO2 to oil producers, which could keep older wells producing for years. We also look at a Texas family that turned down a $21,000 pipeline offer and won a $7 million jury verdict, and at why new pipelines could end the negative gas prices West Texas royalty owners have been seeing. Then we discuss

Why does climate politics play such a big role in our lives? Climate-driven weather disasters effect both conservatives and liberals equally. And global petro-wars drive up the cost of food and transportation for everyone.In a market-driven economy, the consumer should be able to determine whether fossil fuel or renewable energy is better. Instead, all of the renewable options are being taken off the market by a fossil-fuel owned government. They are forcing conservatives and liberals alike to

From the Floor: Sustainability Voices from the Southeast  Recorded Live at the Southeast Sustainability Directors Network Annual Meeting (2026)  Here's what nobody tells you about climate work: the people actually doing it are extraordinary. I'm talking about the ones who show up inside city halls, county offices and in the field every single day and make it their job to protect their communities from what's coming. This episode is about them.  We showed up to the Southeast Sustainability

Send us Fan Mail The Philippines lies between several moving tectonic plates, which makes earthquakes very common. To the east, the Philippine Sea Plate is subducting, or sinking, beneath the islands. To the west, other plates and marginal seas are also pushing and sliding in complicated ways. On top of that, the country is cut by the Philippine Fault, a major strike-slip fault that helps absorb the stress. This means the region is under constant pressure. When rocks suddenly slip or break, e...

Here's my latest forecast for the start of the 10th month and the 4th quarter.

If you had to - could you put a price on how much you value nature? A recent guest, Guy Thompson, described nature as "a supermarket with no checkout" – we just take what we need.But nature provides us with so much value - underpinning our food and farming systems, providing resilience to flood and drought and benefits to our health and wellbeing.And there is a growing movement that is changing the status quo, in recognising the value of nature and creating a market to manage the flows of the

Poland ran on coal for decades—in fact, more than 90% of its electricity came from it. Now the coal is running out, the grid needs replacing, and Poland is building its first commercial nuclear power plant. In this episode, Jordan talks with Robert Rudich about what it actually takes to build a nuclear industry from the ground up: the policy hurdles, the workforce challenges, the financing puzzles, and why Poland moved faster than every other country in the region.Visit us at

Point clouds still feel a little bit like magic to me. You walk through a room, a city, or even just your living room with a scanner or your phone, and you can recreate it afterwards. But on their own, point clouds aren't actually that smart. So what would it mean for every single point to know not just where it is, but what it is, and how it relates to everything around it?My guest this week is Dr. Florent Poux, an adjunct professor, director of the 3D GeoData Academy, and author of 3D Data

This week, we sit down with investor Nick Schroer to unpack the economics of modern farming, from shrinking margins and the “technology treadmill” to what makes ag-tech worth investing in. We explore why profitability may be a prerequisite for regenerative agriculture, what the next generation of farming could look like, and why consumers might be overthinking sustainable choices.
