Ricarda Winkelmann: The Melting of Antarctica
Oct. 27, 2015, 9:47 p.m.
A fairly unknown scientist - at least by US standards - took the lime light in major media in the US in September 2015. The New York Times - and also Democracy Now - quoted her this way:
âTo be blunt: If we burn it all, we melt it all,â said Ricarda Winkelmann, the lead author of a paper entitled: "Combustion of available fossil fuel resources sufficient to eliminate the Antarctic Ice Sheet." It was published on September 11, 2015, in the journal Science Advances.
Winkelmann is Juniorprofessor of Climate System Analysis at the prestigious Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. Her research areas are Anthropogenic climate change; Tipping elements; Antarctic ice dynamics and Sea-level rise.
The New York Times summed up the article: "Burning all the worldâs deposits of coal, oil and natural gas would raise the temperature enough to melt the entire ice sheet covering Antarctica, driving the level of the sea up by more than 160 feet, scientists reported Friday."
This radio program is a summary of the September article as well as two presentations that Professor Winkelmann gave at the Our Common Future under Climate Change conference. She spoke in Paris on July 8, 2015, on: "Early Warning for Thresholds and Tipping Points in the Earth System" and "Landscapes of our Common Future"

Bill Baue: Sustainability In Context
Oct. 27, 2015, 6:13 p.m.
The environmental impact of any business enterprise depends on the specific environmental conditions and challenges that exist where that enterprise is doing business. So a dairy in Vermont, where the water tables are high but solar energy is more intermittent, will have a different set of environmental factors to consider than a dairy in dry and sunny Arizona. In other words, sustainability planning is context-specific. Today we talk with Sea Change Radio founder Bill Baue who consults in sustainability planning with businesses around the world. He explains sustainability context, discusses why commerce should be driven by stakeholders rather than shareholders, and points to Volkswagen as an example of what can go wrong when profit dominates good sense and stewardship.

Out of the Woods - Show #290 - 10-31-15
Oct. 27, 2015, 7:03 a.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

War, Peace & Climate Change: Highlighting the Links
Oct. 26, 2015, 11:48 a.m.
Professor Klare spoke at the annual dinner of Chicago Area Peace Action, ten years after first addressing them on the topic of his book "Blood and Oil". Since then the reality of climate disruption driven by a fossil fuel distorted economy leaves us wondering what we can do about climate change and the convergence of ensuing crisis.
Klare speaks of the COP 21 meeting that will take place this December in Paris and its significance, believing that President Obama is now committed to a radical departure from past US positions on the actions necessary to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees C. He points out that massive demonstrations and civil disobedience are planned in Europe by civil society groups [to steel their politicians against the influence of pathological investors and transnational corporations]. He suggests that people look for similar actives now being planned across the U.S. in order to move Congress to support the President's plan. He fore sees that the role the US military will be changed by climate disruption.
