How the fossil fuel industry exploits net zero | Bonus Content

We sit down with investigative climate journalist Amy Westervelt to dissect how the framework of "Net Zero" has been weaponised by the fossil fuel industry to justify continued extraction and emissions. We dive into the empirical and thermodynamic realities of carbon capture and storage (CCS), exploring why scaling this technology faces rigid physical and geological boundaries - such as subterranean pore space constraints and gaseous migration - that limit its theoretical capacity to a fractional 2-3% emission reduction. Westervelt exposes the systemic failure of voluntary carbon markets, tracking how tech giants have funded offset projects in Bolivia and Kenya that resulted in severe environmental and social disruption.

AMOC Collapse: The Nightmare Tipping Point | Bonus Content

We sit down with world-renowned oceanographer and climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf to discuss the reality of the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) tipping point. After 35 years of studying this system, Stefan warns that what was once considered a "low probability, high impact" risk has escalated to a staggering 50/50 chance - or worse - of collapsing within our lifetimes.Stefan features in episode 1 of The Overshoot Podcast.Overshootpod.com

Episode 5: Overshoot LIVE

Overshoot affects everything - where do we start? In this bonus episode, a panel of leading climate thinkers and doers discuss the implications of 1.5C overshoot for law, geopolitics, activism, and more. Host Laurie Laybourn is joined by Arlo Brady (Freuds), Olivia Lazard (Berggruen Institute), Harj Narulla (Doughty Street Chambers), and Clover Hogan (Force of Nature). The conversation was recorded in front of a live audience at the Freuds Group HQ in London. It has been edited for conciseness. *** OVERSHOOT is a new four-part audio documentary hosted by climate researcher and policy advisor Laurie Laybourn.

Episode 4: Derailment

How can we be resilient to what comes next? One of Spain’s worst disasters was driven by climate change. But it ended up boosting climate deniers. This episode explores how to avoid this, what it really means to prepare for a world above 1.5°C, and why governments are clinging to fantasy preparation plans. And we hear the stories of how we can stay focused on navigating the growing climate storm.  *** OVERSHOOT is a new four-part audio documentary hosted by climate researcher and policy advisor Laurie Laybourn.
