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.
Benjamin Strauss is the president and CEO of Climate Central, a non-profit that tries to educate policy makers and the public about the threats posed by climate change. He has testified before Congress on the number of American houses that will be threatened due to sea level rise caused by climate change and noted that current estimates are that seas will rise by two to three feet by the end of the century and will continue rising in the decades that follow.<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>
