Fighting Failure: Preventing the Next Mass Extinction | Season 2: House of Cards

Served with a side of statistics and seasoned with a generous pinch of fun, laughter and friendship 💚.

Companies are deliberately making your phone worse. They give it security updates for fewer years, they make the battery deliberately worse and bombard you with advertising about the next big thing that you don't actually need. What are the reasons for this? When did it begin? And most importantly, what can we do to fix it?
On this episode hosted by Oscar Archibald, we discuss Planned Obsolescence, Right-to-repair and eWaste.

This is our longest, most exciting and most controversial episode yet. Oscar, a staunchly ethical vegan, and Hisho, an environmental ‘flexitarian’ (joined by meat-eating Clement) debate about cattle’s place in our food system. We base our arguments from the book “Defending Beef” by environmental lawyer, ex-vegetarian and Californian cattle rancher Nicolette Hahn Niman.

Hydrogen in oil refining
Steam reforming
Hydrogen Energy Density
The different colours of hydrogen
Correction for 6:05 - we didn't end up discussing this, so here's the idea: use current oil/LNG infrastructure to transport hydrogen.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Correction for 7:20 - this is not technically true. We are not creating the hydrogen, but breaking it apart from water/methane/insert. The bonds between hydrogen and the other elements in these substances are usually covalent, and thus difficult to break, which is why it requires a large amount of energy.
Correction for 9:55 - rain doesn't immediately translate to increased output from hydro. However, hydro can still vary based on weather.

Chart showing emissions from transport
It seems I was wrong. In the UK, freight rail only makes up 12% of rail transport.
Shipping's impact on the environment
Great Barrier Reef Threats
Truck emissions standards
American Truck
European Truck
Nikola
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Meat Fork
The problem with putting big engines on a small plane
Ship Fuel Issues
Note for 26:30 - Hisho talks about problems for local shipping companies, which is a valid concern, however most multinational shipping companies are based out of poorer countries, not only smaller shipping companies of those countries.

Greenhouse Effect
Climate Change
Correction for 3:28 - Fewer airplanes took off due to Covid-19, however we are talking about the pre-Covid trend.
Plane Emissions Per Person
Note: In general, when we say domestic, we often mean local, e.g. within the EU.
Government Airline Bailouts - Greenpeace
Frequent Flier
Note for 6:30 - What I mean by efficiency in planes is that planes are reaching the limit of how little fuel they can use for what they are trying to achieve. This is obviously hugely efficient compared to land transport, but it is efficient for what it is.
Electric Aircraft
Energy Density of Different Fuels
Cycling Holidays
Correction for 10:30 - Eat foods.
