Coffee and Cocoa: Global Warming and Geoengineering Scenarios Aug 17, 2026 48:12 What would happen to coffee and cocoa if humans deliberately tried to cool the planet? Atmospheric scientist Dr. Nina Grant joins Green Frequency to explain stratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI, a proposed form of solar geoengineering that would introduce reflective particles into the upper atmosphere.Drawing on climate and crop modeling for cocoa in Ghana and coffee in Brazil, Nina explains wh
What Are We Going to Do About These Heat Waves? Lessons from India
What Are We Going to Do About These Heat Waves? Lessons from India Aug 4, 2026 38:48 Heat waves are arriving earlier, lasting longer, and reaching further into daily life. So what do we do before the next one arrives? Climate researcher Kartikeya Bhatotia joins Green Frequency to explain what decades of research and experimentation in India can teach a rapidly warming world.

Environmental filmmaker and cinematographer Dr. Isabelle Carbonell takes listeners to Bio Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico, where dense concentrations of dinoflagellates create brilliant bioluminescence that cameras struggle to capture. That technical failure becomes a question about visibility, wonder, embodiment, and whether an imperfect image can open ot
How Many Species Are There on Earth?
How Many Species Are There on Earth? May 26, 2026 23:27 Most of Earth's species remain unknown to science. Marine biologist and taxonomist Dr. Manuel Caballero Gutierrez explains how scientists estimate global biodiversity and why humanity may currently know only about 25 percent of the species that exist. He walks through taxonomy as scientific detective work, from deep-sea expeditions and specimen collection to anatomical study, DNA analysis, museum
Colonial Law and Deforestation: When Laws Destroy Nature
Colonial Law and Deforestation: When Laws Destroy Nature May 20, 2026 27:41 Colonial law helped build modern deforestation. Legal historian Dr. Mariana Dias Paes traces how nineteenth-century property law created mechanisms for land dispossession and environmental destruction in Brazil's Atlantic Forest.

Science Can’t Change the World on Its Own
Science Can’t Change the World on Its Own May 13, 2026 25:10 Science alone does not make environmental change. Amanda Harding and Sarah Glavan of Convene explore the missing space between research, environmental policy, and the decisions people make inside real systems. Using food systems and the EAT-Lancet Commission as a case study, they explain deliberate dialogue and science-policy-society interfaces: structured spaces where researchers, farmers, fisher
Drinking Water: Why Sustainability Is So Complicated
Drinking Water: Why Sustainability Is So Complicated May 6, 2026 28:14 Drinking water reveals sustainability's complexity. Environmental scientist and water sommelier Dr. Elena Berg uses bottled water to show why environmental choices rarely divide neatly into good and bad.
