The planet is warming. Tempers are flaring. There is so much going on in the world that it can be hard to get past the headlines, hyperbole, and sound bytes. It can be even harder to get into the nuances, complex facts, and extraordinarily-important-yet-overlooked crunchy nougat centers of disaster, climate, social issues, and everything in between. But don’t worry! Two intrepid heroes with wildly dysfunctional origin stories are here to accompany you through the quagmire that is our world. We created Globally Heated because we want to untangle the knots that make understanding our changing world so challenging. We want to delve into the little details that so often get overlooked, and we want to share our discoveries with you! Join us on this intriguing, zany, hopefully informative journey as we all try to learn and understand a little more about our most definitely heated—but still wonderful—little blue (and kind of green?) globe.
In this episode of Globally Heated… Alex quits! Naw, just kidding. But it is our SEASON ONE FINALE!! So we’re going back to the start to look at some new Coronavirus numbers, review some tips on PPE use and hygiene, and make a joke about a Gila Monster. Get ready to get prepared, learn a thing, and all become a little more awesome on this week's episode of Globally Heated! PS: Sam and Alex really want to thank all of you who listen, like, comment, share, and put into action everyt...

Episode 009 - Mindfully Freaking Out
Stress, mindfulness, eco-anxiety, oh my! With global temperatures rising along with sea levels while our thresholds for nonsense continue to lower, it is understandable that humanity might be a little freaking stressed out right about now. But what part does stress play in our responses to disaster and climate change? And how does the kind of hippy-dippy sounding concept of mindfulness enter into the picture? That’s what we’re discussing this week on Globally Heated! Subsc...

Episode 008 - Why Climate Change Is So Hard To Address...Psychologically
With things like melting ice caps, rising sea levels, increasing frequency and strength of natural disasters, crazy plagues, faster-melting margaritas, a blight of balminess, and above all, unseasonably warm weather, why are there so many people out there that don’t believe climate change is real?! Well, as easy as it would be to say that corporate greed and anti-science hacks are just out for themselves, that isn’t quite the whole story. This week we’re discussing why climate change is suc...

Episode 007 - The Blame Game: Parcheesi or Stratego?
These days, it’s easy to get upset at all the issues with the coronavirus response, and for good reason. But when we start lashing out and casting blame in broad strokes, we oversimplify things—and this can actually do more harm than good. So, when we play the Blame Game, are we playing smart Stratego, or are we just painting with a broad brush and playing simple Parcheesi. Wow, that’s a lot of mixed metaphors. Today, we’ll get into how to look critically, and with nuance, at disa...

Episode 006 - The Red and The Lines
Redlining. What a strange term evoking an antiquated way of thinking, or, on the other hand, evoking nothing, because you have no idea what it is. But what the heck does redlining have to do with disaster and climate anyway? Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly, as it may be for some), redlining and disinvestment have had serious consequences for the severity and frequency of disasters, as well as the disproportionate impacts of climate change, experienced by communities of color across the Un...

Announcement: We Stand With You
The past week or so has been heavy. The killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, along with all those who have lost their lives to police violence, have made us recognize a need to spotlight voices other than our own.

Episode 005 - The Inequality Equation
Disasters make everyone equal, right? Climate change affects everyone the same way? There are no advantages or disadvantages or, well, you know, it’s all disadvantages… disadvantages for everyone! Yeah... no. It’s the exact opposite. In this episode, we’re diving into how disaster and climate change have an even greater impact on communities that are already struggling because of current and historical practices of their governments and societies - and how we can all engage with...

The globe is warming up, ice caps are still melting, diseases are spreading, pollution is polluting, and the weather is more extreme every year. Jinkies! So what is a simple human to do?

Episode 001 - Visualizing The Consequences
The Corona Virus has swept our globe, changed our way of life, and forced us to look at what we’re willing to sacrifice for our own safety, and for each other. But is going the distance on social distancing worth it? How bad could it really get if we throw caution to the wind and just get back out there? In this episode of Globally Heated, we will be guiding you through some visualization of all these numbers we keep hearing about and take a closer look at the statistics associated with COVID...
