We Are 1000 Tons by Zoltan Rendes
We get one shot at this. Do we step up as the generation that finally gets it, or do we sit back while greed writes the ending to our own story? The scientists have crunched the numbers, and they’re brutal: for every 1,000 tons of fossil carbon, we torch right now, that’s one person gone […]
Episode 9 – We Are Art – Closer by Zoltan Rendes
My favorite painting, Gustave Doré’s Enigma hangs in the space between what we know and what we refuse to understand. There’s something perfectly fitting about that for this moment in human history. Doré rendered mystery itself—that haunting sense that truth exists just beyond the frame, waiting to be acknowledged or forever evaded. And isn’t that […]
Episode 9 – We Are Art – Opener by Balazs Juszt
And today’s reason we are an endangered species is: art. No, not the “movies” you see on tiktok or the slur of paint smeared across a canvas by some instagram celebrity who dipped her arm elbow deep in yellow paint and calls it painting, or the half-baked essay handed in by your “genius” of a […]
Episode 8 – We Are Under the Weather – closer by Zoltan Rendes
So as we wrap up this episode, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the irony! While half the world was sipping cocktails under beach umbrellas, the planet was practically sending us push notifications: record wildfires, collapsing glaciers and floods that turned entire towns into Venice-themed resorts…without the gondolas.The Summer’s disasters weren’t background noise; they […]
Episode 8 – We Are Under the Weather – opener by Balazs Juszt
And today’s reason we are an endangered species is: us being under the weather. Yeah, we are doing this to ourselves and the planet and every living organism on it. We’ve evolved from homo sapiens to homo idiotus: a species characterised by repeating the same mistake over and over again while expecting a different result. […]
Episode 7 – We Are Algorithms closing by AI in the style of Zoltan Rendes
So here we stand, at the intersection of human creativity and machine logic. Today we spoke with an intelligence we built, an intelligence designed to exceed our own limitations. But as we’ve heard, the power of AI to combat climate change hinges entirely on how we choose to use it. AI can indeed predict climate […]
Episode 7 – We Are Algorithms by AI in the style of Balazs Juszt
And today’s reason we are an endangered species is: algorithms.Not the kind that tells you which flight is cheapest or which influencer’s smoothie bowl you should like next. I’m talking about the ones that shape what you believe, how you vote, and now—possibly—how you fight climate change. We’ve built machines that mimic human intelligence, only […]
Why mispricing climate risk is economic suicide
The next economic superpower won’t be the country with the largest GDP or the most skyscrapersFor too long, the global response to climate change has been reactive, sluggish, and above all, mispriced. Flood defences, solar infrastructure, water recycling systems—these lifesaving essentials are often framed as burdensome costs on public balance sheets, rather than what they […]
Episode 6 – WE ARE SOCIAL – closing by Zoltan Rendes
Today, seven out of ten of the most shared and liked content on social media about climate change is misinformation or conspiracy theory. Things like “the Canadian wildfires disaster is caused by a globalist terror attack to trigger climate emergency” (oh, okay) or “the ruling class wants you to eat bugs to cut greenhouse gas […]
Episode 6 – We Are Social – Opening by Balazs Juszt
And today’s reason we are an endangered species is: social media. Or rather, the social nature of human beings. Does it not boggle your mind that elephants, lions, wolves, but even ants and bees are social animals, just like us, but after millions of years of evolution, they have not collectively turned on each other […]
