Dr. Judith Curry, a climate scientist known for her critical view of mainstream narratives, and Andrew Revkin, an environmental journalist focusing on solutions-driven reporting, engage in a thought-provoking discussion. They explore the complexities of climate science communication and the nuances of climate risk perception. Themes include the evolving role of journalism in climate discourse, the importance of transparency in scientific research, and the need for inclusive dialogue across differing perspectives. Their conversation advocates for a balanced understanding of climate change that encompasses various societal and environmental dimensions.

In the very first episode of The Climate Verso Podcast, host Ned Komar sits down with two thought-provoking guests: Dr. Matthew Wielicki, a geoscientist who questions mainstream climate narratives, and Peter Fiekowsky, an engineer and advocate for large-scale climate restoration solutions.Dr. Wielicki shares his concerns about the accuracy of current climate models and whether fear-driven narratives might be slowing down real progress. On the other side, Peter Fiekowsky, author of Climate Restoration: The Only Future That Will Sustain the Human Race, explains his bold vision for using technology to repair the atmosphere and secure a livable future.Throughout the episode, Ned guides an engaging conversation, exploring their differing views on climate science, the role of innovation, and what it really means to create meaningful change.Whether you’re deeply invested in climate action, a skeptic, or just curious, this episode offers fresh perspectives and plenty to think about.
