In September this year, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright claimed that nuclear fusion could be harnessed within the next five years, with its application to the electricity grid expected within eight to fifteen years. Fusion research has been ongoing for over a century, with experiments beginning in the 1950s. To date, the most successful nuclear fusion experiment was almost 30 years ago, achieving an energy output equal to 0.67 times the input. Unlike nuclear fission, fusion has recentl...

Germany's 2025 federal election saw the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) double its support to 20.8%, becoming the second largest party, while the Green Party fell from 14.8% to 11.6%. The AfD denies climate science and opposes environmental policies on economic grounds. This week, Alasdair interviews academic Felix Schulz, whose recent research has examined public attitudes toward climate policy across six countries - three in the global north and three in the global south. ...
