Change OracleFossil Fuels as the Cause of the Global PolycrisisIn this powerful episode, we dive into the fossil fuel industry's pivotal role in what experts now call the polycrisis—the interwoven collapse of our environmental, economic, and social systems. Featuring insights from the Post Carbon Institute’s Richard Heinberg and Asher Miller, and political economist Adam Hanieh, we explore how our addiction to oil, gas, and coal is not only fueling climate chaos but blocking meaningful change through disinformation and political influence.

Power: Limits and Prospects for Human SurvivalOptimal PowerOverpopulation, overconsumption, and overexploitation of Earth's resources go way beyond the realm of simple problems with straightforward solutions. Instead, they are dilemmas that require tradeoffs and difficult decisions. To guide such decisions, energy and sustainability expert Richard Heinberg explores big ideas such as the adaptive cycle, resilience theory, and prudent predator theory. Heavy topics abound, from death to extinction to societal collapse, but Richard proposes the "optimum power principle" to help humanity step back from the edge. And the good news is that we have a long history of deploying self-limiting tools (even ordinary policies like taxation and rationing...

The POWER Podcast95. Is the World on the Brink of a Mass Extinction Event?It’s not unusual for species to go extinct; it happens all the time. In fact, scientists estimate that at least 99.9% of all species of plants and animals that have ever lived on Earth are now extinct. That’s pretty amazing, considering how many species still exist—up to 8.7 million, according to some experts.
Mass extinction events, however, are not so common. A mass extinction event is when more than half of all species living at a given time go extinct over a relatively short period. The American Museum of Natural History found five significant mass extinction events in the Earth’...

The fossil fuel industry tells you it's the biggest energy development of the century, which promises America energy independence for the US and a huge boost to our economy with benefits to local economies.

Economic growth has provided rising standards of living in the West, and has seen millions in China and India lifted out of poverty. But this model was disrupted in many countries by the global financial crisis. Will things settle down with growth resuming, or will our economies bump up against a wall of finite resources? And if they do, what will this mean the global balance of power?Richard Heinberg is an American journalist, educator, and...
