The Great Simplification #95 : Sir David King: “Global Heating: The Science and the Response"

A podcast in which David King, climatologist and climate policy ambassador, analyzes the current climate situation on Earth and humanity's response (or lack thereof) to the acceleration of atmospheric warming. Although many uncertainties remain in this field, global warming due to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions is widely recognized by the global scientific community. Yet climate change remains controversial, becoming a political issue with no easy solution. What are the scientific foundations of our understanding of the atmosphere? Will we resort to geoengineering to avoid the worst climate consequences—and what are the most promising plans? What are the implications of global warming for the coming decades and beyond ?

 

 

GreenLetterClub #148 SCIENCE: WHAT ROLE DOES IT PLAY IN THE DEBATE? Julien Bobroff

Atmospheric physics, ocean chemistry, paleoclimatology: science can be daunting, yet it is essential to understand the climate crisis. This raises the question: how can we talk about science to a wide audience?

In this podcast, Julien Bobroff, a physicist specializing in quantum physics and superconductivity, and founder of La physique autrement, a research team working on new ways to popularize physics, shares his thoughts on sharing science with the public.
