   Bye for now

   Hi there, Climate Decoded listeners, Kim here. Truth is I've been putting off posting this episode, partially because it's hard to say goodbye (for now) to Climate Decoded. We're taking a break to step back and reassess how we want to tackle climate pod-ing in the current landscape, and to take appropriate time to think through the next iteration of Climate Decoded. We intend to be back, we're just not sure in what format and when. This episode is a love letter to our listeners, contributors, interviewees, and well, each other, for everything over the years. THANK YOU. Whether you're out there striking up conversations with loved ones about climate change, mobilizing with your local advocacy groups for climate justice, working a maybe not as glamorous job improving water management in your city or installing heat pumps and improving building efficiency, whether you're a science teacher, researcher, or someone taking daily actions - big or small - toward a better world, we want you to know you're not alone. Tackling climate change is a global effort, and we are with you in community. We send you fortitude, love, and active hope, wherever you're out there listening from. Keep up the climate work. Bye for now. Thanks for everything, and see you again soon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

Published 26 Jan 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] We're not getting anywhere unless everyone kind of like gets their stuff together and we listen across the board. That has always been the philosophy and the mantra hasn't it behind the podcast is sparking conversation. It's kind of absurd that we're facing the grandest challenge really about time and yet it's a conversation that's very difficult to have even with those closest to us, even in comfortable familiar settings. And if we can each learn just one or two ways about how to have that conversation in a bit more of an easy manner, that could have huge knock on effects. And if we've achieved it, if only that with a few people, I think it was worth it, you know. […]
