Sea Change Radio

It is unequiv­o­cal that human influ­ence has warmed the atmos­phere, ocean and land. The scale of recent changes are unprece­dent­ed over many cen­turies to many thou­sands of years. Human-induced cli­mate change is already affect­ing many weath­er and cli­mate extremes in every region across the globe.” These words of warn­ing, read by today’s guest on Sea Change Radio, Pro­fes­sor Bill Moomaw, are from the most recent report by the Inter­gov­ern­men­tal Pan­el on Cli­mate Change (or IPCC). This week we speak with Dr. Moomaw, a cli­mate sci­en­tist and long­time fac­ul­ty mem­ber at the Fletch­er School at Tufts Uni­ver­si­ty, about the inner work­ings of the IPCC, on which he has served for many years. We talk about bar­ri­ers pre­vent­ing more expe­di­tious respons­es to the loom­ing threat of cli­mate change, exam­ine the flaws in some quick-fix pro­pos­als, and look at real­is­tic paths toward keep­ing our plan­et hab­it­able for cen­turies to come.
