As Mediterranean countries grapple with an unprecedented heatwave, the UK is dealing with April showers in July. It seems that we’re now starting to experience the extreme andf unpredictable weather, climate scientists have long predicted. Is it too late to act – and what can we as individuals do.   Adrian Goldberg is joined by Erika Coppola, a climate scientists working at the Abdus Salam International Centre in Trieste Italy – she’s been lead author on reports for the IPCC - and Gareth Redmond King, internation lead at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a non-profit that supports informed debate on energy and climate issues. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.   Funded by subscriptions to the Byline Times.   Made by We Bring Audio for Byline Times.

Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show is exactly that: a series of conversations driven by the host's curiosity about the people and forces shaping our world. This podcast sits at the intersection of society and culture, exploring the stories behind the headlines and the ideas that often go unexamined. Adrian brings his journalistic background to each discussion, creating a space where guests-from thinkers and writers to everyday people with extraordinary experiences-can speak in depth. The tone is engaging and thoughtful, more like a compelling chat in a quiet pub than a formal interview. You'll hear explorations of politics, community shifts, artistic movements, and the subtle ways our lives are changing. It’s a show built on the premise that good talk can illuminate the bigger picture, one conversation at a time. Listeners find themselves drawn into dialogues that are both timely and timeless, where the focus is on understanding rather than spectacle. Tune in for a podcast that values substance and genuine exchange, where the title truly is the promise.
