Climate Connections

How is global warming shaping our lives? And what can we do about it? We connect the dots, from fossil fuels to extreme weather, clean energy to public health, and more. Join Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz of Yale University for a daily 90-second podcast about climate change, where we confront reality and share inspiring stories of hope.

Recent Reviews
  • Noopness
    Love the podcast not the music
    I love that I can learn something daily from this podcast, but honestly, the intro music is so annoying I skip it sometimes to avoid having to listen to the music.
  • Peter Jarka-Sellers
    Great climate pod
    Love the variety of climate related stories that this pod tells
  • Brian Ettlaing
    Love these daily climate inspiring podcasts
    This is the first podcast I listen to each day for inspiration and it never disappoints. It is very informative about scientists, climate advoactes, researchers, and every day citizens who have been impacted by climate change and now want to make a difference educating others and acting on it. I highly recommend this podcast.
  • gbaptista
    Longer?
    I wish they can do it a little bit longer. Great topics!
  • eagrassi
    Not a podcast
    Quick commercials for programs without meaningful information or discussion.
  • SEBBC
    Short and sweet
    This is the shortest podcast I subscribe to and also my favorite, at least in some ways. I am guaranteed a story Day on an environmental topic. The cast topics are not always hyper-current, but rarely are they things that I hear being discussed else where in media. Thanks for putting this together, it's a valuable service!
  • Goodwillkunting
    Terrifically informative
    Well written, concise blurbs regarding climate change. The tidbits aren't radically important in their own, but the sum of them paints a hopeful picture of people working to combat climate change.
  • lingua203
    Informative
    It's short, it's sweet and it gives a lot of information!
  • Cybergreen7
    Hoping for good things
    It's still a little too early to tell how this new Yale enviro podcast will turn out, but looking forward to listening. The first program on the fusion of libertarian and green activism in Georgia is a good start.
