Presented by Yahoo News, The Climate Crisis Podcast is designed to help listeners gain an understanding about what is perhaps the most pressing issue facing humanity and the planet: rising global temperatures caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Hosts Ben Adler and David Knowles interview some of the leading scientists in the country to help explain how we came to this inflection point and what the stakes are going forward. The podcast lays out the science of climate change in a way that ordinary Americans can understand, and also explores the politics, messaging and disinformation that accompany the debate about how to fix what experts agree is a dire situation.
Klaus Jacob has been studying climate change for more than half a century and served on the New York City Mayor's Panel on Climate Change for over a decade. During that time, he told us he has seen "more and more severe disasters," and he has urged policymakers to prepare for the far-worse events to come. Currently a special research scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at the Earth Institute, and an adjunct professor at Columbia University, Jacob warns that parts of many coastal cities such as New York will be regularly inundated by the end of this century.<br><p> See <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
