About this episode
What do you do when the very topic that threatens all of us is also the one that divides us the most? Climate change has become a lightning rod—sparking passion, igniting debates, and often leaving us stuck in the storm. In this episode, Tim Windsor UNCORKS a bold and brutally honest conversation with climate economist Diane Osgood about a truth many avoid: this isn’t just about changing lightbulbs or using metal straws — it’s about rethinking the system we all live in and the role each of us plays in it. Diane has spent over 30 years helping Fortune 100 companies develop products and strategies that benefit people and the planet, and she doesn’t indulge in greenwashed fairy tales. Together, we grapple with the tension between the individual and the systemic—the power of daily choices and the impact of large-scale infrastructure changes—and how these forces can clash to drive meaningful change. She brings clarity, science, and reason to a topic often overwhelmed by noise and outrage, showing us how to stop being passive spectators of the problem and become active citizens on this spinning ball of dirt we all depend on. You will leave this episode equipped with practical ways to reduce your footprint without shrinking your life—from Meatless Mondays and Thankful Thursdays to Synthetic-Free Saturdays. You’ll discover how your vote, your voice, your purchases, and your partnerships can create real planetary impact—and why staying informed, staying involved, and refusing to outsource your responsibility for the air we breathe and the water we drink may be the most radical and hopeful act of all. This conversation will challenge you, provoke you, and—if you allow it—transform you.
