Political Climate was debuted by Greentech Media in April 2018. In 2019, it became funded by the USC Schwarzenegger Institute with support from the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, and later from Canary Media and think tank Third Way.

In December 2022, Political Climate announced it was "taking a break" for an indefinite period.

Format

Political Climate covered recent news items relating to climate activism and politics in the United States of America. It typically featured a debate on energy and environmental policy between its 'resident Republican' Shane Skelton and its 'resident Democrat' Brandon Hurlbut, moderated by journalist Julia Pyper.

The podcast occasionally featured interviews with politicians, activists, and journalists. Notable guests included United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger, environmental activist Greta Thunberg, former United States Secretary of State John Kerry, United States Senator Alex Padilla, and former United States Congressman Carlos Curbelo.

Awards

At the 2022 Cleanie Awards, Political Climate won the People's Choice Award for Top Clean Energy and Sustainability Podcast.

Other podcasts

Greentech Media produced two other podcasts: Energy Gang, a weekly digest of energy topics, hosted by Stephen Lacey, Katherine Hamilton, and Jigar Shah, and The Interchange, a more technical energy podcast featuring industry insights, hosted by Stephen Lacey and Shayle Kann.

Energy Gang and The Interchange have both continued under the Wood Mackenzie brand.

Reception and legacy

In 2010, the Webby Awards recognised Greentech Media as an Honoree of its 'Websites and Mobile Sites Sustainability & Environment' category.

In 2021, the founder and CEO of CleanTechnica, Scott Cooney, said Greentech Media was "seen as one of the top cleantech sites globally for the last decade plus". Swarnav S Pujari of Gaiascope called it the "go-to publication for cleantech news and analysis".

In April 2021, shortly after Greentech Media closed, several of its journalists and staff members launched Canary Media, an independent affiliate of RMI.
