Hosted and reported by award-winning investigative climate journalists and led by Amy Westervelt, each season unravels new evidence of deception, disinformation, and the power structures keeping real climate solutions out of reach. In September 2025, a group of Brazilian ministers trekked all the way to chilly North Dakota to see a presentation on a new type of clean energy project, one that promised to help them deliver Brazilian President Lula’s dream of turning Brazil into “the Saudi Arabia of sustainable aviation fuels.” It was the latest in a string of projects from Midwest Republican kingmaker and corn ethanol magnate Bruce Rastetter, whose investments in Brazil might just transform him into a global carbon czar, even as his Summit pipeline carbon project faces fierce opposition from Iowa to North Dakota. The problem? It all requires loads of land and none of it does a thing about climate change.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T14:21:37.467256+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/drilled-860945"},"episode":{"title":"Climate Obstruction in the Global South","slug":"climate-obstruction-in-the-global-south","published_at":"2025-10-29T13:38:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/drilled-860945/climate-obstruction-in-the-global-south","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/drilled-860945","url":"https://omny.fm/shows/drilled/s14-ep8-climate-obstruction-in-the-global-south","audio_url":"https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/tracking.swap.fm/track/SxlTEPDY7xDg35RXkASs/pdrl.fm/3e5572/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/9a7ab5ee-ce11-48ff-a544-b3ec00ea9b1e/5cbef6db-3f8d-48bd-9e07-b3ec00eb9b7b/audio.mp3?utm_source=Podcast&in_playlist=7f82f371-6316-4ea6-a108-b3ec00ea9b2d","summary":"The United States is a global leader of climate obstruction, but it's not the only guilty country.
