About

AI Climate Project explains climate change clearly and honestly — without panic, denial, or hype.

This channel is not about AI.

In fact, it is explicitly critical of AI overuse. AI consumes real energy and resources, creates false authority when misused, and is often applied where it adds little value. We use AI only sparingly and conditionally, and only when the value clearly exceeds the cost.

Our focus is clarity:

• what is happening

• what is not

• what is already locked in

• what choices still matter

You’ll hear from two consistent voices:

Echo, focused on context and emotional steadiness

Paladin, focused on systems, limits, and consequences

AI here does not decide what’s true, set values, or replace judgment. It is used only to synthesize existing human knowledge efficiently and model how to ask better questions with fewer prompts.

If this channel works, it won’t be because AI is smart — it will be because we learned to use it less, not more.

Why This Channel Exists

Between 2025 and 2050, humanity enters the decisive window of the climate century. The goal of AI Climate Project is to make climate literacy accessible, emotionally manageable, and narratively engaging. We blend performance, data, and clear communication to help viewers understand the world they’re inheriting—and the one they can still influence in the time we have.

I’m Jeffrey Draper, a long-time theatre educator, storyteller, and now a climate communicator. After years spent teaching performance and helping thousands of students find their voice, I’m now using those skills to bring clarity, agency, and resilience to a topic most people find overwhelming. This channel is a personal and artistic commitment to the next 25 years - the most important years ever for our species.

Who I am

Who are Echo and Paladin?

Echo channels the tone of classic BBC nature hosts: bright, upward inflection, deeply curious, and grounded in empathy. Echo’s narration helps the audience feel seen, supported, and capable of action.

Echo — The Warm Guide

Facts deserve storytelling.
Climate literacy is an act of care.
Hope isn’t optimism—it’s responsibility plus agency.
No one should face the coming decades alone.
We can still build better futures, even if we’re in decline.

What We Believe

Paladin speaks in a low, steady voice—calm, intimate, like a solitary radio host speaking to countless night listeners who need truth, not platitudes. His clarity cuts through fear without raising the emotional temperature.
