Jeff Severinghaus is a Professor and Geoscientist at UCSD- Scripps. He just returned from Antarctica where he uncovered ancient ice core samples which helps scientists better understand future climate change and predict planetary warming. After several years of tests, using an experimental drill of his own design, the team of researchers including Jeff was able to drill 2,000+ feet below the surface where they found two million-year-old ice. This is the first time scientists were able to study an ice core that old. Previously, the oldest complete ice core provided data back to 800,000 years. In this episode, we speak about the study and research, his time in Antarctica, why ancient ice and the bubbles trapped in it are so important to understanding future climate change, and much more.

Jeff Severinghaus is a Professor of Geosciences at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego. His research raises the question of whether the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels could also produce a rapid change in climate, rather than a slow, steady rise in temperatures. He has been published over a hundred times and has also performed extensive research in Greenland. Carl Yaeckel is the chapter leader at Citizens Climate Lobby, San Diego. Citizens Climate Lobby has proposed a Carbon fee and dividend plan which is a national, revenue-neutral carbon fee-and-dividend system that places a predictable, steadily-rising price on carbon and other greenhouse gases, with fees being returned to households as a monthly energy dividend. In this episode, we speak about whats going on in our planet and what too much Carbon means, Climate change and how the CCL plan curtails greenhouse gas emissions while growing the economy and creating economic incentives for citizens, Canada adopting the CCL plan for 2019, negative emissions technologies, and much more.
