The climate crisis is dogged by worry and denial - Carbon Watchdog focuses on the basic facts behind the panic and bluster. My name is Adam Hardy and I produce informative and entertaining material for people everywhere in the world who have seen this whole thing brewing and are looking for the best ways to tackle it. Society is adapting to climate change at breakneck speed - and God knows, we have to - but the information tsunami is only going to get bigger - so what do all the headlines and cool infographics about Arctic sea ice and hydrogen power actually mean? Carbon Watchdog has put together a complete package of not-so-inconvenient truths about living with climate change - regardless of your politics (or lack of) and moral and ethical viewpoint. We should all do our bit of course - but what is "our bit" and who says? The US president? Greta Thunberg? God? Listen here for a range of interesting, inspiring, helpful, effective and trustworthy climate-related discussions! Get more Carbon Watchdog content at https://carbonwatchdog.o

Dr. Bremley W.B. Lyngdoh is Director Microfinance & Ecorestoration of Earthbanc, which invests capital from their savers via microfinance to enable smallholders to plant mangroves and build sustainable livelihoods. He's made a career out of bringing people together to create environmental and agricultural projects. I caught up with him online in his home state Meghalaya, north-east India - just before he left to check on leaking uranium waste tanks that no-one will take responsibility for in the jungles of South West Khasi Hills. We covered ...
- just how many million mangroves people can plant
- how cyclones made the people of Myanmar suffer where they had destroyed their mangroves
- saving money with Earthbanc funds local smallholders to plant trees
- how Earthbanc monitors progress using satellite data
- whether local people would really want tigers in the forests they plant!
- the beautiful wilderness of Meghalaya, with its living root bridges and 25m (75 foot) annual rainfall
- if Bremley is in fact one of the Na'vi and Meghalaya is Pandora
- the evils of uncontrolled uranium mining
