Life in the Greenhouse

著者: Carbon Accounting Reporting and Management Lab
  • サマリー

  • Carbon—humans are emitting way too much of it. The problem is simple, but solutions are tricky. How do we measure and reduce our carbon emissions? And how do we know if a person or company that pledges to reduce its emissions is actually doing so? On Life in the Greenhouse, we use greenhouse gas accounting as a tool to whittle headlines and break down major trends into understandable facts about climate change—where we are, where we’re headed, and what we might do about it. Our show is a production of the Carbon Accounting, Reporting, and Management Lab (CARML) at Northern Arizona University.

    How do scientists gather information from tree rings? In episode two of Season Two: Trees Remember, we take you with us as two scientists gather tree core samples in the forest and then process them into a treasure trove of information about tree memories of past climate. We explain how these scientists use tree rings in a unique way compared to past tree ring studies. And we explore why this team focuses on ecosystems where water is scarce and why that matters for humans.

    2024/06/04
    Throughout this season we have been diving into a central question: Is it time to start calling oil & gas companies energy companies? In the final episode of season 1 of Life in the Greenhouse, we finally arrive at an answer through three interrelated conversations spanning greenhouse gas disclosure regulations, low-carbon transition plans, and the role of oil & gas in international climate negotiations. Thank you for tuning into Life in the Greenhouse!
