Part 2: The Fix — Professor Myles Allen
In Part 1 we established the physics: every ton of CO₂ warms the planet permanently, net zero is the only way to stop it, and carbon capture is not optional, it's essential. But the science is only half the battle. In this second part, Myles Allen pushes us into the harder territory: why we're stuck at 0.1% carbon capture, why nature-based solutions can't save us, and why the environmental movement's opposition to carbon capture is, in his words, "weird."
We go deep into the CO₂ saturation myth that refuses to die, the real drivers behind the apparent acceleration in warming (spoiler: it's not unexplained), and why cleaning up aerosols is revealing warming that was already there. Allen also takes on the policy front: why the "transition away from fossil fuels" narrative is backfiring in real time, just look at Colombia.
From the sewage analogy that reframes the entire problem, to why long-term targets like net zero 2050 distract from the investments we need now, to the human tipping point that worries him more than ice sheets, this is Allen unfiltered. The physics is simple. The politics is not. And the clock is ticking.

Let’s Climunicate is a long-form podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to rigorous, balanced discussions at the intersection of climate science, policy, economics, and societal responses.
Hosted by Dr. Alberto Troccoli, each episode features in-depth, one-on-one conversations with leading researchers, policymakers, and industry experts. We make complex climate topics accessible without oversimplifying them and we’re not afraid to test assumptions, challenge narratives, and make space for nuance and debate.
🎧 What you’ll find here:
👉🏻 90-minute expert interviews on climate risk, insurance, extreme weather, and energy transition
👉🏻 Evidence-driven conversations that respect your intelligence
👉🏻 Timestamps, resources, and further reading in every description
