Every story is a climate story - Ep. 09

May 24, 2023 • 32 mins

We know a lot about the crisis. We know that it is time to progress from understanding the problems to solving them. However, we also know that there is no perfect solution.

This episode is where Earth sciences meet journalism to address overarching solutions that already exist, ones that need global and lo...

Assessing these costs is challenging yet vital for our planet's future. And when it comes...

Climate on trial - Ep. 07

Carbon: A Matter of Budget - Ep. 05

December 15, 2022 • 26 mins

A trip among satellites, robots and bottles. One that oscillates between the heights of the atmosphere and the surface of the sea.
We ride on carbon dioxide molecules to understand how relevant the word budget can be in delivering a future where climate neutrality takes shape.
An attainable horizon as long as we follow a simple little rule: "Don't look at what they say. Look at what we're doing”.

For Joellen Russell, the future is i...
