Seeing The Day After Tomorrow as a youth was probably the first time I was exposed to the idea of climate change. And 17 years later, this film remains one of the only major Hollywood productions to explicitly engage with the topic. For this special episode of Stories for Earth, I chatted with Dr. Yanas Kisten, a scientist and host of the podcast Geekoscopy, about one of our favorite disaster flicks: The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich.

A new conceptual art project called the Atlanta River Time Project aims to challenge the delusion that humans are separate from nature by offering an alternative method of timekeeping: the meander and flow of a river. Created by experimental philosopher and artist Jonathon Keats, the Atlanta River Time Project keeps time by comparing the current rate of flow of the Chattahoochee River against its historical average. I had the chance to speak with Jonathon about his new project earlier this summer, and now I'm happy to share our conversation with you.

How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue tells the story of a fictional African village called Kosawa as it fights for environmental justice with the American oil company Pexton. While this is a work of fiction, it contains many parallels to modern climate stories, and I believe it has valuable lessons for us as we face the climate emergency.

Sam Beckbessinger and Simon Nicholson are the co-creators of the climate video game Survive the Century, a choose-your-own-adventure style game where you make decisions about how to cover the climate crisis as the editor in chief of the most influential newspaper in the world. The game's third co-creator, Christopher Trisos, unfortunately wasn't able to join us.
I found this game to be really helpful for putting real climate scenarios into context, giving me a much better idea of the real implications of, say, a 1.5ºC warming scenario versus a 2ºC scenario. Plus, the headlines the game generates can be pretty hilarious. I hope you enjoy this discussion of Survive the Century.

I recently spoke with co-director Costa Boutsikaris about the new documentary Inhabitants, and I was absolutely fascinated with the time-tested ways of living in harmony with the environment the film shows. We talked about the making of the film, some of the ways tribes are restoring ancestral practices, and how others can learn from Native peoples without commodifying their wisdom.

Nina Munteanu is a prolific and insightful Canadian science fiction writer who has published nine books, including her most recent novel A Diary in the Age of Water. This novel imagines a Canada in the not-so-distant-future where water is becoming increasingly scarce, partially because water sources are drying up and partially because the US and China are buying up water from all the recently privatized Canadian utilities.
As a limnologist—literally a fresh water scientist—it makes sense for Nina to be the one telling this story, and our conversation ranges from water shortages in the present day to Ray Bradbury to the need for a new paradigm for living.

One February morning, I jumped on a Zoom call to interview Julie Carrick Dalton, author of the popular new novel Waiting for the Night Song. Julie spoke with me from New England, where she works as a journalist and runs a small organic farm with her husband. Waiting for the Night Song is Julie's debut novel, and we talk all about it, covering topics like climate refugees, increasing forest fires, and the friction that can occur between science and government.

Gun Island and The Great Derangement by Amitav Ghosh could not be more appropriate works for discussion on this podcast—they're both about the role stories play in fighting the climate emergency! In this episode, I summarize and analyze Gun Island, using The Great Derangement as a critical framework. If that sounds a little academic, don't worry. I don't even have a degree in English, and I found Ghosh extremely accessible. I hope you enjoy!

In January, I had the chance to sit down with Canadian science fiction and fantasy author Craig Russell to talk about his 2016 novel Fragment. Fragment follows a cast of characters ranging from scientists to naval officers to TV news anchors as they're caught in the aftermath of an Antarctic ice sheet the size of France breaking off into the ocean.
In this edited version of our 2-hour conversation, Craig and I discuss the science of ice, Craig's personal experiences in the Canadian Arctic, and climate denialism among heads of state. Craig also was kind enough to share a reading from Fragment. Listen to the full 2-hour, unedited podcast by becoming a member on Patreon.

I finished reading The Overstory by Richard Powers in late 2020, but every time I tried to start writing about it, I got intimidated and quit. Thankfully, my new friend Lovis Geier asked me to come on her YouTube channel, Ecofictology, as a guest to talk about The Overstory. This book is ambitious, to say the least, with nine main characters (10 if you count a special tree) and spanning decades as it tells the stories of people whose lives have been majorly impacted by trees.

From the creator of Parasite and Snowpiercer comes Okja, a Netflix-exclusive film from South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-Ho. This film is a deep dive into the world of genetically modified animals, factory farming, and runaway capitalism, and it's a perfect lens for examining how we might transition to a healthier relationship with the Earth. We talk a lot about greenwashing, the environmental impact of modern industrial farming, and the hope regenerative agriculture offers as a sustainable way of growing food.

Final Fantasy VII is a cult classic video game from the 90s, with a remake for PlayStation 4 that came out in April 2020. It might be famous for the cool and aloof Cloud Strife and characters with big swords, but Final Fantasy VII also has a lot to say about environmentalism. And just like its original release around the time the Kyoto Protocol was adopted, its message remains extremely relevant to us today.
