EP 994 The Climate Crisis in Terms We Can Understand

 

There has been a lot of ink spilled trying to explain the climate weirdness which has spread all across the globe.  And while some of the metrics may still be questioned, the near universal effects agreed upon by climate scientists and visible to the naked eye are upon us.  So how well do we really understand what is happening and why?  Pable Ribeiro Dias, Ph.D. in his new book “Climate Changed:  The Science of Sustainability and How Each of Us Can Do Our Part,” is the primer and reference resource we’ve all been waiting for on this vital subject.  He admits that given he is an engineer, not a climate scientist, he had to undertake a rigorous, scientific study of the subject and become knowledgeable about it so that he could provide us with a clear map of the environmental challenges of the 21st century, what really works (and the trade-offs) and practical steps we as individuals and the world community must take to tackle this existential threat.  He’s done all of that.  Give a listen.
