July 02, 2008
Subscribe now to the weekly update email (fill in the below box) to get a weekly list of all of the new episodes on TPN in one easy-to-read format! Enter your email address: ====================================================== My guest today is Peter Singer. He is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, and laureate professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (CAPPE), University of Melbourne. Outside academic circles, Singer is best known for his book Animal Liberation, widely regarded as the touchstone of the animal liberation movement. I invited him onto the show to talk about the recent news from Spain that they will soon probably extend basic legal rights to all non-human hominids, an idea that has been driven by an organization that Peter co-founded, The Great Ape Project. We also talk about the basic ethics of utilitarianism and how the best thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint is to stop eating meat.

 Climate Change and Worker Safety
from Bill Moyers Journal (Video) | PBS
June 27, 2008
Injury rates reported at America's poultry plants have dropped dramatically in recent years, and so have workplace safety inspections. Are regulators rewarding companies for inaccurate reporting of injuries? Bill Moyers Journal and Expose: America's Investigative Reports go inside America's poultry industry, which employs almost a quarter million workers nationwide, to show the reality of working conditions and to investigate how official statistics showing a drop in workplace injuries may have been the result of deceptive reporting. Also on the program, Bill Moyers interviews Senator Barbara Boxer about global warming. Plus, a Bill Moyers essay on big oil.

 Community Home Assessment Model_Video 1
from Vimeo / Recent Public Videos
June 24, 2008
Community Home Assessment Model_Video 1 from Geoff Brown on Vimeo. This is an overview of the community based, home energy assessment process developed during the Castlemaine 500 project in 2006 to 2008. The C500 project is owned by the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance (www.cvga.org.au) The 4 part video overview is designed to be a "refresher" for the trained community members who undertook home energy assessments with the C500 project team. The essence of the process was to enable local community members to have the confidence to visit a home and take the householder through as self assessment process. The intent was NOT to train community members to be "experts" in home energy assessments. Cast: Geoff Brown

 Monday 8:12 Hydrogen fuelled cars
from RN Breakfast-individual stories
June 22, 2008
With the energy debate so heated it's not surprising that discussion around more high end forms of energy is also warming up. Questions are being asked about the true potential for hydrogen fuel cells, and whether cars are the only viable application for such technology.

 COLLAPSE & CLIMATE CRISIS
from The Radio Ecoshock Show
June 19, 2008
Dmitry Orlov interview. Author of Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Example and American Prospects." Orlov compares end of Soviet & American empires. His advice for Presidential candidates, as oil era ends is priceless. Hear about "The Collapse Party" platform.... We run a clip from the Minneapolis National Conference on Media Reform (Professor Lawrence Lessig of Stanford on how media sows doubt on global warming, which doesn't exist in climate science...) Then I reference two hours of key speeches from that Conference, available in program number 415 of the underground series "Unwelcome Guests" by Lynn Gary. Find that at the busy website www.radio4all.net Search by producer "Unwelcome Guests" - but be warned, the site can be too busy to respond well during peak hours. Go in off-peak hours to get your Media Reform files. radio4all is the backbone for distributing radio works by independent producers - including Radio Ecoshock. Also: Animal rights & global warming: Anthony Marr interview. Anthony runs "HOPE" which stands for "Heal Our Planet Earth". He's been a long time activist on everything from Tigers to biodiversity of the Amazon, and the abuse of farm animals in agribusiness. Anthony came to the realization that climate change will wipe out more species, faster, than pharmaceutical testing could ever dream of. Animal rights activists need to get on board fighting climate change - but will they? I hope so, just as I'm sick of seeing all the coverage about climate impacts on humans. As though we aren't going through a mass extinction event. As though animal's lives don't really matter to the animals themselves. As though all the creatures don't have an inherent right to live on this planet too. Amory Lovins tells government that Nukes are no answer to climate change. Our 6 minute clip is from Lovin's testimony to Congress, at the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming on March 12th, 2008. It's been a long time since I've heard such a devastating put-down of the nuclear power illusion, in just a few minutes. I wont' try and summarize what he said - listen in. Check out some other really interesting testimony to the Committee, with some video, at: http://globalwarming.house.gov/pubs/testimony Alex on oil company Net trolls. I was reading a suggestion in Grist that the recent one in 500 year, never seen before, floods in the Mid West might actually be related to climate change. Then the writer gets pounded in the comments - with a pseudo scientific explanation by "Ralph". Ralph says the climate is cooling, and Brad is just a tool. I always wonder who those trolls really are. Checking out "Ralph" I find Ralph Hansen PHD. It turns out Ralph is "gainfully employed in the energy industry." What a surprise. Then I start thinking about all the "independent" military hacks that appeared on TV, really still employed by the Pentagon, as propagandists. Do you suppose that Exxon/Mobil, with $40 billion profits, and other big oil companies (not to mention PR companies hired by the Saudi's) - just might spend a few bucks on blog sites, and a thousand blog commenters like Ralph? This might explain why any climate science posted on the Net is immediately hit with a torrent of bricks and boos. A newcomer to the Net might think the American public HATES the idea of climate change, or any plan to do something about it. Funny, real public opinion polls show just the opposite. People are concerned about climate change, and want to save the climate. We've known the mainstream media, following the lead of the Bush Administration, has long been a force for climate denial and befuddlement. But don't underestimate the psychological operations and paid hacks on the Net as well. It's all propaganda, new and old. Speaking of mainstream, Discovery Channel has launched a 24 hour "green" themed channel. find it at planetgreen.com I was a little horrified to see green decorating tips, as the world goes down, but it's a step in the right direction? How about ABC News bringing out a new special for this September on the possible collapse of civilization due to climate change and other pressures? You can even contribute to the program, and game the end of civilization!!! (at Earth2100.tv) Their trailer is about as scary as anything I can produce. Is Radio Ecoshock about to be put out of business by Disney's ABC? Don't hold your breath waiting for that. I notice their news program still depends on a 50/50 toxic mix of drugs ads and car/truck/SUV ads. Hardly the stuff of the new age. Add it all up, and here you go, The Radio Ecoshock Show for June 20th, 2008. Crisis radio. Alex Smith - your host. Ecoshock 080620 1 hour CD Quality 56 MB or Lo-Fi 14 MB. Production Notes: Check out this stinging social song "We Can't Make It Here Anymore" by John McMurty. We take the time to play the whole thing. Best I've heard in a while, almost a country Dylan, back when Dylan had something to say. Insert quick station ID over music at 29:03 if needed. Or cut into song if you need more.

BUILDING SANITY - PASSIVHAUS WORKSHOP
from The Radio Ecoshock Show
June 12, 2008
A follow up to last week's program "Building Madness - Constructing Climate Change" This week: a real solution to making our buildings way more efficient. Called "Passivhaus" in Germany, the technique really means much more than "house" - but all buildings. This week we present an exclusive one hour workshop on super-low energy houses, office & municipal buildings with Dr. Guido Wimmers. His company web site at eqcanada.com Guido Wimmers is from Austria, where he studied and designed super low energy buildings. He is likely the only person in Canada who could certify a home or other structure as meeting the "passivhaus" standards, which are voluntarily regulated by several Institutes in Europe. Over 12,000 "passivhaus" buildings have already been constructed in Europe. The method involves using solar input through windows, a very tight inner barrier and outer wind screen, plus a heat-controlling air exchanger. During the winter, even our body heat and warmth from electric appliances (even your computer) are held inside, instead of lost as waste. Very little fossil fuel needs to be added. As he describes in the talk, one passivhaus office building had an air conditioner installed for summer use - but it was found to be unnecessary. These buildings are also much more comfortable for humans - because there are no big cold or hot spots. Everywhere has a comfortable uniform heat or coolness. Kids in a "passivhaus" school design like it so much, they come home and wish for the same. This is an energy revolution. As explained in the previous program on "Building Madness" - our buildings use 48% of all fossil fuels - and waste most of it! Buildings use more than all transportation combined. Our cities are really carbon smokestacks, and there is a much better way to do it. North Americans and people everywhere need to learn this technology. Even older homes can be retro-fitted. We can reduce fossil fuel consumption, bills & greenhouse gas emissions (!) by 90%. Dr. Guido Wimmers explains how.
