Intergenerational

Sade and Dan discuss the overpopulation myth and how it ties into climate change, eco-fascism, and Harvard and Yale professors getting caught saying horrible things. They also touch on why people often mistrust the government and how race plays a role in all of this. Come for the science, stay to hear about Sade matching with antivax NBA players on Bumble. —— Please let us know your thoughts on the show by leaving us a review on any podcast platform, or by reaching out on social media.

In this episode, Dan and Sade discuss divestment, investing ethically, and Dan’s beloved Spock ears. Focusing on Harvard’s divestment announcement, the pair talk about what socially responsible investing (SRI) looks like, is it even possible to invest ethically, and if people on Wall Street really care. **Correction: Sade says something that alludes to the fact that Goldman Sachs guarantees returns with ESG funds; this is not correct. The primary ESG fund used by their team is meant to still track the S&P and thus give similar returns to the entire market. —— Please let us know your thoughts on the show by leaving us a review on any podcast platform, or by reaching out on social media.

And we are officially back! In this episode we talk about the concept of the carbon footprint and if BP really invented it as people TikTok keeps saying (they’re wrong), people misquoting studies to further their opinions, and what personal responsibility looks like in a global climate crisis. We also hear snippets about Dan’s experience writing for the IPCC, protesting and what that should look like, and what a world where we don’t worry about climate change could look like —— Please let us know your thoughts on the show by leaving us a review on any podcast platform, or by reaching out on social media For more information and updates on the podcast, feel free to subscribe on whatever podcast platform you prefer, & follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/intergenerationalpod/ Check out our website here: https://www.intergenerationalpod.com/ for more in-depth episode breakdowns & information. —— Resources: Carbon Majors Report (2017): https://b8f65cb373b1b7b15feb-c70d8ead6ced550b4d987d7c03fcdd1d.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/cms/reports/documents/000/002/327/original/Carbon-Majors-Report-2017.pdf?1499691240 The Causes of Climate Change (NASA): https://climate.nasa.gov/causes/ Cruise Ship Pollution: A Tale of Titanic Tyranny: https://www.geekyexplorer.com/cruise-ship-pollution/ Cars, planes, trains: where do CO2 emissions from transport come from?: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions-from-transport The Science of What Makes People Care (Stanford Social Innovation Review): https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_science_of_what_makes_people_care# How to Persuade the Public to Care About Other People's Problems: https://www.governing.com/archive/gov-kendall-taylor-frameworks-institute-study.html IPCC steps up warning on climate tipping points in leaked draft report: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/23/climate-change-dangerous-thresholds-un-report How You Can Stop Global Warming: https://www.nrdc.org/stories/how-you-can-stop-global-warming
