[Episode #214] – Countering Climate Doomerism
The Energy Transition Show with Chris Nelder - En podcast av XE Network - Onsdagar
Renowned climate scientist Dr. Michael E. Mann joins us to discuss his new book, Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis, and to answer some of the hottest questions in climate science discussions today: * Are we doomed? * Is the world facing polar ice breakdown if we reach the same CO2 concentrations that existed in the geological past when the planet was free of ice? * Is there evidence of “tipping points” in the climate system that will activate “feedback loops” of runaway warming? * Will the planet keep warming after our carbon emissions go to zero? * Was the Paris target breached when the world exceed 1.5°C of warming for some months of 2023? * Are climate scientists using models that underestimate future warming? * Is there a chance of limiting warming to only 1.5° or 2°C?
