Climate Fervorology (ECO-ADVOCACY WITHOUT IT BEING A BUMMER) with AJR’s Adam Met Cleaner energy! Reasoning with climate deniers! Using fandom to pass policy! And not burning out. Adam Met, of the colossal indie pop band AJR is also a career climate activist, an International Human Rights Law PhD, adjunct professor at Columbia University, and the author of the upcoming book “Amplify: How to Use the Power of Connection to Engage, Take Action, and Build a Better World.” He joins to chat about breaking through the overwhelm of climate causes, what action actually matters, if petitions even work, what happens to our brains at a rock concert, how human rights and climate policy intersect, if you should drive a gas or an electric car, how to solve problems that are vexing you by not working on them, carbon footprint guilt, the similarities between writing an album and writing a book, and how to do something about climate change without bumming everyone out. It’s possible. Visit Dr. Met’s <a href="https://www.adammet.net/">website</a> and follow him on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamajrbrothers">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/adambmet.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-met-38274379/">LinkedIn</a>Pre-order his book releasing June 3, 2025, Amplify: How to Use the Power of Connection to Engage, Take Action, and Build a Better World, on <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/amplify-how-to-create-meaningful-social-change-using-the-science-and-art-of-building-fan-bases-adam-met/21788040?ean=9780593735909">Bookshop.org</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593735900">Amazon</a>A donation went to <a href="https://www.planetreimagined.com/">Planet Reimagined</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/climatefervorology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/criticalecology">Critical Ecology (SOCIAL SYSTEMS + ENVIRONMENT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/conservation-technology">Conservation Technology (EARTH SAVING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/meteorology">Meteorology (WEATHER & CLIMATE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/culicidology">Culicidology (MOSQUITOES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oceanology">Oceanology (OCEANS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/billnye">Pedagogology (SCIENCE COMMUNICATION) with Bill Nye</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/politicalsociology">Political Sociology (VOTER TURNOUT & SUPPRESSION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fanthropology">Fanthropology (FANDOM)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/coffeeology">Coffeeology (COFFEE)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo">Kelly R.
