Yale University's Sunil Amrith delivers a pithy piece of audio for your interest, today,
*What environmental history reveals about our current ‘planetary risk’* https://news.mongabay.com/podcast/2025/03/what-environmental-history-reveals-about-our-current-planetary-risk/ When asked about the state of US environmental moves, Amrith spoke of his interest in what new non-US climate coalitions we'll see arise, and this: *“ When we look at examples from the past, [societies’ ecological impacts] have tended to be confined to a particular region, to those states, and perhaps to their neighbors. Because of where we are in terms of anthropogenic warming [and] planetary boundaries <https://news.mongabay.com/series/planetary-boundaries/>, I think the scale of any risk, the scale of any potential crossing over into irreversible thresholds, is going to have impact on a scale that I’m not sure historical precedents would give us much insight into,” he says.* Listen at the link above or subscribe/follow the Mongabay Newscast via the podcast app of your choosing, wherever you get podcasts, from Spotify <https://open.spotify.com/show/66SkV6VkkoeiLFMT2cgh04> to Amazon <https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/44774923-19b7-4f03-8bea-8fc0c9bb7ae1/mongabay-newscast>, or Apple <https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mongabay-newscast/id1155856616>, whatever service you prefer.
