Climate Chat

Climate scientist David Archer of the University of Chicago discusses his research on the Ultimate Cost of Carbon (UCC): The climate impacts of release CO2 if the negative effects are not discounted. He also discusses the *very* long term impacts that our emissions of CO2 have on the climate (~500,000 years!). David's UCC paper can be accessed here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584...

Robert Howarth is Professor of Ecology & Environmental Biology at Cornell University. He is an expert on natural gas & methane and their impact on the climate. In this wide-ranging interview, Prof. Howarth discusses how methane's powerful warming capability (87X more effective than CO2 in warming the world over a 20-year period) and its high leakage rate from the extraction, transportation, and ut...

Climate Scientist Kevin Anderson provides a straight-talk & sobering view of our climate situation. How can we stay under 1.5/2ºC warming? What is the role of carbon capture? What does 4ºC warming mean? Have we reached a tipping point in public engagement? How should we think about Earth system feedbacks? Listen to gain insight into the "radical future" that is ahead of us. Part 2 is here: https:/...
