EP3: An Uphill Battle with Alex Hall

Is there hope to stop, or at least decelerate, climate change? Speaker Alex Hall (a professor of atmospheric, oceanic, and climate sciences) offers up bleak scenarios that show the degradation of our home planet if drastic steps are not taken. From sea-level rise to the growing carbon footprint... A domino effect is happening that will present a much different environment for our children if we do not implement real change.

EP2: Flaws in the System with Eric Lyon & Adam Nielson

When outdated energy infrastructure is pushed to its limit, it's inevitable that weaknesses and vulnerabilities appear. If an experienced hacker chooses to take advantage of these weaknesses, that's a threat to our security. These compromises lead to civil unrest and societal breakdown, which affects the overall political climate as well. Let's listen in on Eric and Adam, as they offer some suggestions on how to remedy the infrastructural deficiencies.

EP1: A New Battlefield with Eric Lyon & Adam Neilson

Climate change affects things we use everyday. For example, turning up the air conditioner to offset the increasing heat, or using less water during a drought. But climate change also affects things most of us don't even think about, like how we fight wars. Eric Lyon (Special Forces Officer/Researcher of Climate and Environmental Security) and Adam Nielson (Cyber-Security/Technology Authority) will present examples of how the many causes, and even more effects of our ever-changing climate influence everything from daily tasks to military strategies.
