    Council tax weirdness: Hartlepool vs Westminster

    Council tax weirdness: Hartlepool vs Westminster

    Do you really pay more in council tax on a semi in Hartlepool than a mansion in Westminster? How do the Office for National Statistics work out how much the UK population is going to grow by? How much do junior doctor strikes cost? Is home grown veg worse for climate change than veg grown on a farm?

    Tim Harford investigates the numbers in the news.

    How Sustainable Are Tech Companies, Really?
    We have another special episode! Today, Rollie from Climate Town joins us to discuss clean energy and the climate crisis. Specifically, he helps us understand some of the promises that big tech companies companies like Apple and Google have been making when it comes to the climate. Like what is a carbon credit? And what the heck is a Duck curve? We hope you learn as much as we did in this fun chat!

    Ep 912 | How Small Farms Are Saving America | Guest: John Klar

    Ep 912 | How Small Farms Are Saving America | Guest: John Klar
    Today we're joined by farmer and writer John Klar, author of “Small Farm Republic: Why Conservatives Must Embrace Local Agriculture, Reject Climate Alarmism, and Lead an Environmental Revival,” to discuss the importance of small, independent farming and the food economy. We start off with why climate activism seems to be a growing religion. We respond to those who claim local farming is bad for the environment and ask why climate activists are trying to get rid of things like cows, which give us food, when things that don't give us food, such as fireworks, generate many more carbon emissions. We explain how corporate actors sacrifice small farms and why people in big cities would also benefit from small farming. John tells his story of getting Lyme disease and how healthy food became essential for healing, and we discuss the cease and desist he was handed from PETA.

    Prosecutor OUTMANEUVERS Trump with SCATHING RESPONSE

    Prosecutor OUTMANEUVERS Trump with SCATHING RESPONSE
    The New York, Attorney General has just filed a scathing response to Donald Trump’s attempt to have an appeals court stay the civil fraud case now in week five and to avoid complying with any of Judge Engoron’s prior rulings. Michael Popok of Legal AF analyzes what just happened, the likelihood that the appellate court will grant the stay, and explains why the New York Attorney General is OK with allowing Donald Trump to currently operate his businesses and generate cash, cash that she will gladly take off of him in the future once she wins the trial.

    Legacy tech & the move to sustainable computing | Sponsored

    The UK is one of the largest producers of household electronic waste in the world. In 2022 we threw away nearly 24 kilos of things like plugs, mobile phones and computer hardware per person.  

     

    The volume of e-waste produced world-wide is predicted to increase from more than 61 million metric tons this year to nearly 75 million in 2030 – and the vast majority of this will go into landfill.  

     

    In this special episode, Becky Slack from the New Statesman's Spotlight team meets Michael Wyatt, director of Google ChromeOS EMEA, and Justin Sutton-Parker, CEO of research group Px3, to discuss what businesses and other organisations can do to play their part in reducing the scourge of e-waste, and more broadly how IT can drive sustainability.

    ROLL ON: Travel In The Age of Climate Change

    ROLL ON: Travel In The Age of Climate Change
    Travel allows you to experience different cultures, broaden your perspective, and gain a deeper appreciation for the world around you. But there is no denying that it also comes with massive environmental costs. Is it possible to travel in a completely sustainable way? And if so, how? What is the best way to move about the globe and make the most of experiences abroad? Welcome to Roll On 2.0, an experiment in documentary-style storytelling in which Adam Skolnick and I ask a big question, investigate that query with several experts, attempt to arrive at a reasoned conclusion, and hopefully entertain you along the way. Today we dive deep into the pillars of regenerative travel—a new movement that aims to heal the planet while exploring it—and ways we can all be better visitors to the places we explore. This episode makes use of Adam’s journalistic prowess, buffered by wisdom shared by experts in the field of sustainable tourism. Special guests featured in this episode include Amanda Ho, Kílian Jornet, Celeste Brash, Mehmet McMillan, Amanda Harris, Paul Feinstein, Robbie Balenger, Paul Hawken and Hugh Garvey.

    Click here to join the member exclusive portion of my show: https://utm.io/ueSEm 


    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, death tourism is a growing industry in the United States. It's as horrifying as it sounds. Also, Biden stumbled and fumbles his way through his State of the Union Address. Much of the speech was difficult to translate from whatever language he was speaking, the rest was full of lies. And Trump accuses DeSantis of being a groomer. All of the Trump's attacks on DeSantis have failed. Will this one be any different? Plus Joy Reid on MSNBC says the Left has achieved total victory in the culture war. Is she right? And if so, does that mean she'll finally stop playing the victim card?

    A Taste Of Lab-Grown Meat

    A Taste Of Lab-Grown Meat
    The idea came to Uma Valeti while he was working on regrowing human tissue to help heart attack patients: If we can grow tissue from cells in a lab, why not use animal cells to grow meat?

    Food production accounts for as much as a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. The idea behind cultivated meat is to help feed the world while dramatically reducing human contributions to global warming and avoiding killing animals. NPR Health Correspondent Allison Aubrey has been visiting production facilities and talking with both food and climate scientists to understand how far away lab-grown meat is from store shelves, and what a meal of cultivated chicken tastes like.

    Keeping Score On Climate: How We Measure Greenhouse Gases

    Keeping Score On Climate: How We Measure Greenhouse Gases
    Host Emily Kwong wants to keep an eye on her carbon footprint. Most of it consists of greenhouse gas emissions from driving her car or buying meat at the grocery store. But it's not so obvious how to measure those emissions, or how factories, cargo ships, or even whole countries measure theirs.

    Enter: NPR science reporter Rebecca Hersher. Together, Rebecca and Emily break down how greenhouse gas emissions are tallied ... and why those measurements are so important in figuring out who's responsible for cleaning up.

    What should we measure next? Email the show at shortwave@npr.org.

    Electric Cars

    Read Greg's blog for more info on the considerations and calculations made in this episode:

    https://www.gregfoot.com/post/should-you-switch-to-an-electric-car

    Electric Vehicles: Should you switch? In the first of this new series Greg runs Julian’s suggested wonder-product through the evidence mill and asks whether electric vehicles (EVs) really are the best thing since sliced bread? Julian has heard that switching his old petrol-guzzling banger for a shiny new EV will make him greener? But will it? Electric cars are said to be ‘cleaner’ and ‘cheaper’ to run, but with a higher purchase price than their petrol equivalent - and a greater environmental footprint of manufacture - how many miles would Julian need to drive before his fuel savings off-set these initial costs - both financially and environmentally? Greg tests one of the most popular cars in the UK and hears from experts including Mike Berners-Lee & Vicky Parrot to conclude whether electric vehicles are worth the hype, and your money. And he wants YOUR suggestions for what to investigate next!

    Is there something you keep seeing on TV - or hearing about on a podcast? Have you spotted something trending on Instagram or TikTok and you want to know if it delivers?

    Meet The Climate Scientist Trying to Fly Less for Work

    Meet The Climate Scientist Trying to Fly Less for Work
    A few years ago, climate scientist Kim Cobb had a brutal realization about how much she was flying for conferences and meetings. Those flights were adding lots of climate-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Host Maddie Sofia talks with her about her push to get scientists to fly less for work, and what happened when the pandemic suddenly made that idea a reality.

    Is a tough property market the best time to buy a home?

    Is a tough property market the best time to buy a home?
    The best time to get a good deal on buying something is when other people don’t want to.

    That should theoretically make now a decent time to try to buy a property, but will that work in practice?

    The property market has run out of steam and house prices are rising at a far more moderate rate than in recent years 
    While the headline figures mask regional differences – London and the South East have seen prices fall, while cheaper areas are still seeing gains – even drilling down into the numbers shows most places are slowing.

    Rightmove reported this week that the traditional back to school bounce was cancelled, as asking prices failed to rise for the first time in September since 2010 this month.

    Meanwhile, the ONS, Nationwide and Halifax reports have all pointed to a period of much slower house price inflation.
    The problem is that often to buy a house you need to sell one and-  even if you can do that - estate agents and analysts point to a distinct lack of properties being put up for sale.
    On this week’s podcast, Simon Lambert, Georgie Frost and Grace Gausden dive into the reports on what is going on in the property market, to try to answer the question of whether now is a good time to buy.

    Also on this week’s show, the team discuss energy vampires and what’s true and what’s false in energy saving claims. The delay to the smart meter rollout is on the agenda too.
    As the Climate Strike arrives, they debate whether buying carbon credits to make up for flying is wise - or whether we should just be flying less instead.

    And finally, if you fancy doing the complete opposite, the podcast finishes with a look at why now is the best time to book Christmas flights… or do your bit and get the train instead.
