當地球發燒時

當地球發燒時 is a sustainability and climate program with a distinctly Taiwanese public-policy lens. It begins from a simple image, the earth as a feverish body, then moves into the harder question of what governments, companies, institutions, and citizens can actually do. The show’s recent episodes suggest a broad definition of sustainability. Energy matters. So do food, health care, finance, industry, regulation, and technology. Lin Erxiang guides the conversations in a radio-style format, while Jian Youxin supplies long-form analysis anchored in Taiwan’s position in the world. The pace is measured and explanatory. Rather than treating climate change as a single environmental issue, the program follows the chain reactions that climate pressure creates across society. AI, for example, is not only a story about productivity or Taiwan’s hardware strength. It is also a story about electricity demand, cooling water, data centers, green power, gray power, AI governance, and the risk of building a new industry faster than the energy system can support. ESG receives the same treatment. Episodes track how American anti-ESG politics, European rule-simplification efforts, carbon border adjustments, and corporate reporting shifts could reshape Taiwan’s export economy. The show is especially interested in transition risk, the cost and opportunity created when rules, technology, and markets change quickly. Agriculture is framed as climate adaptation and national security, with food-system commitments, food production, transport emissions, farmer support, and Taiwan’s low food self-sufficiency all brought into the same conversation. Health care enters through Taiwan’s super-aged society, where climate stress, medical capacity, long-term care, and AI nursing robots become part of a larger sustainability agenda. The program also looks outward: Amazon fires, indigenous survival areas, biodiversity loss, coal phaseouts, renewable energy debates, and the United Kingdom’s energy path all appear as examples Taiwan can learn from or measure itself against. Its register is formal but accessible. It is built for listeners who want the policy machinery behind sustainability, not just the headlines. After an 18-year radio run, the show describes a move toward online audio and video, keeping the same mission while changing format. Its value lies in continuity: week after week, it connects global climate developments to Taiwan’s industrial choices, public investments, and everyday future.
