Life on our planet faces imminent danger, demanding a shift from exploitation to caretaking and restoration. Cultivating our connection with nature is vital for both sanity and survival, fostering emotional and mental resilience amidst overwhelming challenges.

Psychotherapist Eva Jahn founded the Climate Emotional Resilience Institute (CERI) to address this crisis, providing coping skills and community support. She joins Paul Beckwith and Dale Walkonen for this conversation.

The planet faces critical challenges in the next 10-20 years due to climate breakdown, with critical systems on the verge of failure. Young people must decide whether to plan their lives based on endless growth and consumerism, or lead a movement to adapt to changing conditions. What role will AI play in our future?

Former NASA engineer Tom Riley, author of climate detective novels, Paul Beckwith, and host Dale Walkonen explore how stories can inspire necessary and ethical action. Tom Riley's latest novel, *Dark Heat*, is available on Amazon.

Greenland’s ice sheets hold enough freshwater to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While not an immediate threat, recent research shows glaciers are shrinking seven times faster than a few

Greenland’s ice sheets hold enough freshwater to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While not an immediate threat, recent research shows glaciers are shrinking seven times faster than a few years ago, losing an average of 30 million tonnes per hour.

This influx of freshwater into the ocean significantly impacts the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is vital for maintaining global weather patterns. Experts like Peter Wadhams and Paul Beckwith are studying these critical changes.

Concrete production, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, typically lasts 50-100 years. Extending its durability to 200 years or more would significantly reduce the 4 billion tons of CO2

Concrete production, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, typically lasts 50-100 years. Extending its durability to 200 years or more would significantly reduce the 4 billion tons of CO2 produced annually by its manufacture.

Our guest, Martin Halliwell, holds over 10 patents for "Earth honoring systems" designed to lower CO2 emissions in construction. His innovations include more durable concrete and integrated geothermal and windmill installations.
