60 acast.com The Sub Standard Model https://shows.acast.com/the-sam-and-henry-sh en Henry Leitch Physics,Chemistry, Biology,Science,Podcast,Interesting,Questions,Fun Comedic In Depth Science This is a subjectively comedic podcast by scientists for scientists.


"On this sciencey show, we answer the questions you never thought to ask, did not want to ask and did not ask."


This podcast has been carefully crafted after binging an alarming number of science shows and spotting the same pattern: everyone sticks to the safest, most mainstream topics, wheels out the same three analogies, and then tiptoes away from any actual depth. So we thought, “If you can’t beat them, join them" (but with tighter editing and more science). The result is clear, entertaining storytelling that goes properly deep, yet stays fun enough that you barely notice you’re learning until you have learned.


Intro: Sneaky Sonja, Luella Gren

When governments first confronted climate change in the 1990s, they understood it was a problem, but they believed modest, incremental policy could solve it. They never anticipated the scale of change that would be required, nor the ferocity of the industrial resistance they would face. While the science hardened into certainty, political will collapsed under the weight of fossil fuel lobbying and short-term economic thinking. Today, thousands of peer-reviewed studies tell the same story: we are past easy solutions. Cutting our losses now demands effort on a civilisational scale. The road ahead holds mass migration, famine, and conflict. Yet in 2025, the United States repealed the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gases entirely. The science was never the problem. The politics always was.
