Pitch

Every day, we're bombarded with news, figures, and facts related to the state of the planet and our future. And we know it's serious... that things aren't necessarily going in the right direction. BUT WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW? That word, that piece of information, that statistic we vaguely heard about... what was it again? THERE IS NO PLANET B is the new project from RTBF that answers climate questions we might not dare to ask out loud at dinner parties. "Is having babies the worst thing for the planet?", "Do we need to go vegan to save the climate?", "Is it really game over for oil?".

Climate - The basics to understand everything

What's the difference between climate and weather? Is a 35,6 °F increase really that serious? Has climate always changed? What is the greenhouse effect? And finally, how do we silence climate skeptics? We've taken the time to answer these essential questions... with answers that aren't always so obvious. Every day, we're bombarded with news, ...

What's the difference between climate and weather? Is a 35,6 °F increase really that serious? Has climate always changed? What is the greenhouse effect? And finally, how do we silence climate skeptics? We've taken the time to answer these essential questions... with answers that aren't always so obvious. Every day, we're bombarded with news, figures, and facts related to the state of the planet. So much so that we sometimes forget the basics. That's why There Is No Planet B has decided to dedicate its first episode to them: a 13-minute video to understand everything about climate change. And then, why not, manage to counter the arguments of your climate-skeptic uncle at the next family gathering. In this episode: no complexity, just humor and lightness. With special guests: climatologist Sébastien Doutreloup and singer Konoba, who made the decision to quit his music career to devote himself 100% to ecology.

Exclusive: we reveal the car of the future.

The European Union has voted to end the use of internal combustion engines in new cars by 2035. At first glance, the measure may be surprising. But why not after all? Because if we want to end our reliance on fossil fuels that contribute to climate change, it seems quite logical to stop driving petrol cars. But if we're not driving petrol cars ...

The European Union has voted to end the use of internal combustion engines in new cars by 2035. At first glance, the measure may be surprising. But why not after all? Because if we want to end our reliance on fossil fuels that contribute to climate change, it seems quite logical to stop driving petrol cars. But if we're not driving petrol cars anymore, what will we be driving? Electric cars, hydrogen cars, green fuel cars, hybrids? In this episode, we reveal the car of the future with engineer Philippe Bihouix. And, spoiler alert, it's not just a matter of technology.

How to have style without wrecking the planet?

Our relationship with fashion has become binge-like. On average, we buy 60% more clothes than we did 15 years ago, and wear them 36% less often. In other words: we like, we take, we wear a little, we lose interest, and then we throw away. Welcome to the messed-up world of fast fashion. But you know what's even worse? ULTRA fast fashion. Because by ...

Our relationship with fashion has become binge-like. On average, we buy 60% more clothes than we did 15 years ago, and wear them 36% less often. In other words: we like, we take, we wear a little, we lose interest, and then we throw away. Welcome to the messed-up world of fast fashion. But you know what's even worse? ULTRA fast fashion. Because by pushing us to buy, social media only amplify the phenomenon. For example, the Chinese brand SHEIN puts 6,000 new products online every day. In short, the system has gone haywire and we need to slow it down. Because the fashion industry emits as much CO2 as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom combined. So, what do we do? And how do we continue to have style without wrecking the planet? Answers in this video, with activist for fairer fashion Laurie Pazienza and stylist Lucie Poumay, founder of the Wabi-Sab workshop.

Small eco-friendly actions: useful or not?

Having a reusable water bottle, stop taking the plane, eating less meat... In this video, we answer the question everyone is asking: are small eco-friendly actions really useful? Shouldn't it be up to governments and companies to act first? In short, what's the point of individual actions? And how can we have the greatest possible impact? Answers ...

Great inventions to cool the climate?

Sending giant mirrors into space, dispersing moon dust into orbit, thinning out clouds, building artificial icebergs... We don't always know it, but some people are imagining crazy inventions to solve the problem of climate change.

Sending giant mirrors into space, dispersing moon dust into orbit, thinning out clouds, building artificial icebergs... We don't always know it, but some people are imagining crazy inventions to solve the problem of climate change. This is what's known as "geoengineering" techniques to artificially modify the planet's climate. Is it science fiction? Not entirely anymore, as billionaires and certain states invest in the hope of seeing some projects come to fruition. So, are there any techniques that really hold up? Why do we want so badly to believe in these magical solutions? And could we not risk making things worse with our ideas? Analysis with climatologist Sébastien Doutreloup.

Having children, the worst thing for the planet?

In less than 100 years, the world population has quadrupled. We were 2 billion in 1930, then 4 billion in 1974, and finally surpassed the 8 billion mark in 2022. So, for some, the conclusion seems obvious: the climate problem is primarily a demographic problem. But what is the reality? Is the number of humans on Earth really a problem? Does a ...

So, for some, the conclusion seems obvious: the climate problem is primarily a demographic problem. But what is the reality? Is the number of humans on Earth really a problem? Does a child pollute that much? In short, is there a link between babies and global warming? Answers in the video with our guest: demographer Bruno Masquelier.

The end game for oil

Fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal) still represent 80% of the global energy mix, and 68% of the Belgian energy mix. Yet, we know that if we want to put an end to greenhouse gases that warm the climate... we must first put an end to fossil fuels that emit these famous greenhouse gases. In short, ending oil: that's the great challenge of our ...

Yet, we know that if we want to put an end to greenhouse gases that warm the climate... we must first put an end to fossil fuels that emit these famous greenhouse gases. In short, ending oil: that's the great challenge of our generation. So, how do we do it? With what sources of energy do we replace it? And most importantly, will we still be able to consume as much energy as we do today? Answers in the video with our guest: engineer Philippe Bihouix.

Running out of water from the taps, is it possible?

We hear about droughts, then floods. We're told it's linked to climate change, and that's not cool. We're also told to save water by not spending too much time in the shower and that private pools...not so great. But... let's admit it, the connection between rain, rivers, a pool, and the shower... it's not super obvious. So what's the problem with ...

In this video, we discuss freshwater and climate, with hydrologist Emma Haziza as our guest.

Global Warming: Whose Fault Is It?

China, the USA, Europe... In this video, we take out our calculators to answer that famous question: who is most responsible for the current climate change? A culprit not so easy to identify, as the climate issue transcends borders and generations. So, rather than spending our time blaming others, shouldn't we focus on finding solutions? Analysis ...

"We can't eat anything anymore": the fish

We often hear that we're overfishing, that the sea is being depleted of its fish, and that some fishing boats are really doing whatever they want... But it's not always easy to know what we can do to fix all of this. Should we simply stop eating fish? Or are there alternatives? In short, what are the keys to the most sustainable and ...

But it's not always easy to know what we can do to fix all of this. Should we simply stop eating fish? Or are there alternatives? In short, what are the keys to the most sustainable and environmentally-friendly fish consumption possible? Deciphering with Frédéric Le Manach, scientific director of the NGO Bloom.
