From Cafe and the Vox Media Podcast Network, welcome to stay tuned.

I'm Pete Barara.

Right now, it's not looking great for keeping the plan

at under 1.5 degrees Celsius level heating, which is why I'm talking about emergency mode.

I think part of the problem with these budget framings and these like, you know,

the 2050 type deadlines, they create a false sort of complacency and a false lack of urgency.

That's Peter Calmus. He's a climate scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.

He's also one of the most outspoken and activist-minded scientific voices on the dangers of climate change.

A few weeks ago, Calmus was arrested after chaining himself to the front doors of

JPMorgan Chase's offices in downtown Los Angeles as part of a protest against the bank's investments in fossil fuels.

This is so bad, everyone, that we're willing to take this risk and more and more scientists and more and more people are going to start joining us.

We're already seeing the effects of the climate crisis all over the world and we need to know what that actually means for us.

Calmus joins me to discuss the science behind fossil fuels, the need for climate emergency mode,

and how everyday people can do their part. That's coming up. Stay tuned.

There's something so romantic about winter and I don't know whether that's just because I'm a bit of a homebody and I love a five.

But I think it's just the holiday period. It's just for me, it's the most romantic period. And I think anyone who's listened to my records will know that I'm quite a big fan of romance.

Joy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

Oh, embarrassment. There's nothing quite like it.

An aspirate to do it best. But I'm here to offer you a safe space.

This is the place you can come to share all of those stories of past embarrassment that still keep you up at night.

Let's find a way to laugh at them together and then move on. Remember, there's no judgment here.

So join me in my brand new podcast and finally put those memories to bed.
