Coronavirus - Climate Change - The Extinction Crisis and Lessons to be Learned
The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planet
04/02/20 • 31 min
It goes without saying, this is a remarkable time in modern human history. Virtually every person on the planet is collectively experiencing this unparalleled event together. Coronavirus has led to an astonishing shutdown of economic activity and a drastic reduction in the use of fossil fuels. To be clear, the coronavirus pandemic is a tragedy. However, it holds key lessons on how to combat the two great challenges of our time - climate change and the extinction crisis. The worse thing that could come out of this profound crisis is, that there would be no change. 1. In this episode, we examine what climate change and the coronavirus of 2020 reveal about human nature. 2. We will look at the environmental implications of where the virus originated, and how it could be avoided in the future. 3. Also, we will explore and compare COVID 19 to an environmental phenomenon in many urban areas that kills millions every year — The Plague of Air Pollution. 4. Finally, we observe how wildlife and Mother Nature are responding to this transcendent time in our history.

1. On this episode of The Green Elephant in the Room we investigate animal and plant exceptionalism. It’s easy for us to consider humans as the pinnacle of creation, but we share the earth with other planetary beings that often exceed our own abilities. We only had room on the podcast to feature a few, but check out the webpage for stories about horses that have plans for hurricanes, a fish that lives well over 100 years, and the recently discovered secret language of elephants.
2. Our demand for the most common solid substance on earth is voracious. It is the foundation of our civilization, and we are running out of it. It’s a worldwide crisis that nobody has heard about. Tune in and find out what this mysterious ingredient is.
Rulers of the Universe — One Species Dominates the Planet (unfortunately, we are not very good at it) {Rebroadcast}
The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planet
04/26/22 • 37 min
We suddenly find ourselves sort of running a planet—a role we never anticipated or sought—without knowing how it should be done. We’re at the controls, but we’re not in control.
Humans have become a powerful agent of geological change, equal to the other great forces of nature that build mountains, and shape continents and species. We are witnessing, and manifesting, something unprecedented and still completely unpredictable: the advent of self-aware global geological change. We know about the impacts we are inflicting on the Earth.
However, our growing acceptance of this earth-shattering event can be a turning point in our ability to respond to the changes we’ve set in motion. At the moment though, we are Child-like Masters of the Universe - junior apprentice planetary engineers.
We don’t really want the job, but it’s too late now. Listen in on how we actually could become good humanoid planetary stewards – despite ourselves.
