Podcast appearances and mentions of john englander

Sustainability In Your Ear welcomes back oceanographer and author John Englander, who last visited with us in February 2023. John is the author of two pivotal books on Sea Level Rise, High Tide on Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis, which explores the science behind rising seas and its far-reaching impacts on society, and Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward, which offers a comprehensive look at how individuals, businesses, and governments can adapt to this unavoidable reality. He recently gave a talk at the U.S. Naval Academy and shares the reaction he heard from admirals and strategists charged with protecting U.S. interests a sea. John delivered a stark warning about the accelerating rate of sea level rise, emphasizing the vulnerabilities of the Antarctic ice sheets—particularly the Thwaites Glacier, which also known as the "Doomsday Glacier." He warned that the collapse of the Thwaites alone could lead to significant sea level rise within the next few decades, with profound implications for global military operations, coastal infrastructure, and international security.Sea level rise is the permanent change humans will live with for centuries, probably millennia, because the oceans have absorbed most of the heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. Average sea surface temperatures have climbed by about 0.8 degrees Celsius, or 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit. The Arctic is warming four times faster, about 3 degrees Celsius since 1980, and that has raised sea levels by between 21 and 24 centimeters, or about nine inches, in the same period. John also shared recent warnings about the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which drives circulation of seawater globally. Until we lower emissions sufficiently to stop glacial melting, sea level will only rise more and ports, infrastructure, and entire economies will deal with the threat of disruption. Learn more about the organization he cofounded, the Rising Seas Institute, at https://risingseasinstitute.org/. It became a program of Nova Southeastern University on November 1, 2024.

In 2021, John Englander was on Shorewords, talking about his book, Moving to Higher Ground. Much of the conversation was about options for adapting to the rise in sea level projected by the recently released 2021 IPCC Report. Recent news indicates that climate conditions have not improved since 2021. The 2022 State of the Climate Report found that global sea level was 4 inches above the 1993 baseline, floods in Southeast Asia were one of the costliest natural disasters in recorded history, destroying crops and property, causing over 1.700 fatalities, and affecting over 30 million people. This summer, ocean temperatures were up to 100 degrees F and floods are again in the news. This week, the United Nations released the 1st Climate Report Card since the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement that found that time is running out to keep the increase in global temperature at or below 1.5 degrees Celsius, the goal of the Paris Agreement. It seemed like a good time to revisit John Englander's book and his suggestions for adapting to rising sea level. 

Even people who agree that climate change is a problem don't necessarily agree on what to do about it. And some people still need a little more convincing that the threat is as serious as climate scientists and activists have been telling us it is. It can be difficult for skeptics with serious, well-intentioned questions to find a forum for getting answers. New York Times columnist Bret Stephens knows what that intellectual journey is like firsthand, having gone from climate skepticism to climate evangelism in just a few years, with the help of patient authorities on climate science. Oceanographer and sea level rise expert John Englander was one of the scientists who helped Stephens make that transformation, even inviting him on a trip to Greenland to see receded sea ice up close. Englander and Stephens reunite on stage at the 2023 Aspen Ideas: Climate event in Miami Beach to talk about persisting climate skepticism and effective tools of persuasion. The talk is moderated by Susan Goldberg, the president and CEO of public media company GBH.

Sea level rise due to melting glaciers on Greenland and in the Arctic and Antarctic could force the relocation of 267 million people and entire cities located less than 2 meters — 6.5 feet — from today's waterline by 2100. Oceanographer John Englander has raised the alarm about sea level rise in his books, High Tide on Main Street and Moving to Higher Ground. John runs the Rising Seas Institute and leads regular visits to Greenland to spur awareness of the accelerating loss of its glaciers. We talked with him in 2021, when Moving to Higher Ground was released, and he returns to the show to share an update on the pace of warming, the Thwaites Glacier and Ice Shelf in Antarctica, Greenland's rapid loss of ice, and the preparations necessary for adaptation to a world of constantly rising seas. NASA warns that continuing warming could raise sea levels by 5 meters (more than 16 feet) by 2300. The early damage will be felt across more than twice the expected coastal land than previously expected, according to a January 2023 Dutch research study published in the journal Earth's Future, because previous satellite analysis misestimated the altitude of heavily forested land. The potential cost of protecting seaside cities and raising port facilities will run into the trillions of dollars. Perhaps that spending can be an opportunity to rethink our infrastructure comprehensively, but in the midst of a crisis people are not prone to be very forward-looking. John Englander's books are available online.

This week hosts Bruce Morlan and Jon Olson discuss the problem of rising sea levels with oceanographer and author John Englander

This week hosts Bruce Morlan and Jon Olson discuss the problem of rising sea levels with oceanographer and author John Englander

Host Jon Olson talks with world-renowned oceanographer Professor John Englander about climate change and the national security ramifications of sea level rise

The Economist has projected that rising waters will displace hundreds of millions of people in this century. Whether or not we agree, sea level rise is a phenomenon. We must prepare for a different future, or our grandkids will be in trouble. But how? And how will the rising sea level affect your property values? My guest has been studying the melting of the glaciers for over 20 years. John Englander is an oceanographer, author, and international speaker on climate change and sea level rise (SLR). His expeditions to Greenland and Antarctica have given John a unique perspective on the danger we face from melting ice, climate change, and unstoppable sea level rise. His new book, Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward, explores the forces driving sea level rise.  John joins me on this episode of The Wiggin Sessions to discuss what the melting of the glaciers means on both an environmental and economic level, including the sinking of entire countries, if something isn't done. We discuss the evidence that shows how humanity's extraordinary technological advancements have broken us out of the cooling cycle, raised the planet's temperature, and changed the atmosphere, leading to the possibility that 30 nations could be completely underwater in the future. Listen in as John shares his insight into the disturbing way both sides of the political spectrum are wrong on this issue. Plus, how the free market can address this global scientific crisis economically to keep the planet livable. Key Takeaways John shares his insight into how the world is going to look different in 10 or 20 years Why flooding at the Naval Academy has increased in the last 40 years How humans have broken us out of the cooling cycle and raised the temperature of the planet How less than 12 inches of sea level rise will sink most of Vietnam What happens if we do nothing to slow the raising the temperature of the oceans Why even all the right environmental steps right now won't mitigate the melting of the ice The disturbing way both sides of the political spectrum are wrong on this issue The growth and overplay of the ESG (environmental, social and governance) movement in corporate environments What we can do economically about this global crisis to keep the planet livable Connect with John Englander John Englander Get in Touch with John Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

We cover a lot of heavy-hitting topics here on Sustainability Defined, but today's topic of sea level rise might just be one of the heaviest. Sea level rise (SLR) refers to the increase in the level of the world's oceans due to the effects of climate change. The ecological and socioeconomic impacts of this rise are staggering. Join us as we unpack how sea level rise works, why our current rate of rise blows most everything else in history out of the water, and how SLR will reshape economies and the ways people live around the world. Our guest is the unparalleled John Englander, President and Founder of Rising Seas Institute and author of Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward. Come learn with us and raise your knowledge about SLR! ----------------------------- Sustainability Defined is the podcast that seeks to define sustainability, one concept (and bad joke) at a time. Hosted by Jay Siegel and Scott Breen. Each episode focuses on a single topic that helps push sustainability forward. We explain each topic with the help of an experienced pro, place it within our organizational tree, and help our listeners define what exactly sustainability is, episode by episode. We have divided our organizational tree into the following seven sectors: Energy Cities Natural Environment Transportation Business Policy Social Each episode is categorized under one of our sectors and visually depicted within our organizational tree. The more episodes we complete, the more the tree will visually define what exactly sustainability means. Please go to www.sustainabilitydefined.com for more information. Our website has pages for each episode where there is a player to stream the episode, as well as hyperlinked intro notes.

On this episode of Shorewords!, join host Lesley Ewing in conversation with John Englander, geologist, oceanographer, and sea level scientist as he discusses his latest book, Moving to Higher Ground. John ‘discovered' sea level rise first-hand as he was diving in the Bahamas and can upon a prior sea stand about 200 feet below the surface. That dice was that source for his first sea level rise story and, five decades later, he continues to tell stories about the global changes we're experiencing along the coast, and how some communities are responding to these changes.

The issue of sea level rise is an emotional, politically charged one. And we simply don't want to believe that our actions might put beloved places like New Orleans or Venice under water in the not-so-distant future. But what if we take the emotion out of it and simply look at the facts? What if we focus on adapting to rising sea levels by way of sound economic principles? John Englander is the oceanographer and economist behind the Rising Seas Institute, a think tank dedicated to understanding and explaining the latest science around long-term rising sea levels. He also serves as a consultant helping corporations, government agencies, communities and individuals adapt to the risks of sea level rise. John's latest book is called Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward. On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, John joins me to share the data on sea level rise, explaining how melting glaciers cause it and why it's accelerating at an exponential rate. We explore the relationship among CO2 concentration, global temperature and sea level, discussing how humans have altered the natural cycle of warming and cooling—and why we're so resistant to accepting our impact on climate. Listen in for John's fiscally conservative, market-driven approach to addressing sea level rise and learn how the phenomenon is likely to impact the economy and property values in coastal communities around the globe. Key Takeaways How glacier calving causes sea levels to rise + how that natural process is accelerating in our warmer world What sea level rise means for communities like Baltimore Harbor How humans have altered the natural cycle of warming and cooling (and why we're so resistant to accepting our impact on climate) The relationship among CO2 concentration, global temperature and sea level What drove natural heating and cooling cycles prior to industrialization and how those cycles have changed with the burning of fossil fuels How sea levels and shorelines are NOT permanent (and why we struggle to comprehend that) How satellite data reflects a doubling of sea level rise every decade for the last 30 years John's experience working with the military and municipalities on the impact of sea level rise and why their responses differ Why property values and insurance premiums should reflect the risk associated with sea level rise John's fiscally conservative, market-driven approach to addressing sea level rise and why the government should not subsidize flood insurance costs How the unsustainability of our current economic policy parallels that of CO2 emissions What makes Greenland the best place to observe the extreme melting of the world's glaciers Connect with John Englander Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward by John Englander Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

Summer is nearly upon us. The next time you’re at the beach, gazing upon the blue horizon, take a moment to contemplate the depths of the sea, and the ways that the ocean is changing. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with oceanographer and author John Englander to take a deep dive into … Continue reading John Englander: Moving To Higher Ground → The post John Englander: Moving To Higher Ground appeared first on Sea Change Radio.

Earth911 talks with oceanographer John Englander, author of the new book Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward. His 2014 TED Talk provides stark examples of close relationship between CO2, climate temperature and coastlines -- Florida was half the size it is now during the last warm period in Earth's history and twice the size it is today during the last Ice Age. In his new book, Englander describes the challenges of sea level rise (SLR) and urges humans to prepare to adapt to rising oceans, because it is too late to stop significant SLR along U.S. and global coastlines. Those changes have dramatic implications for government, business, the global supply chain, and our own neighborhoods.Englander explains how the increased surface of a warming ocean will amplify extreme weather events we are already seeing in the form of wildfires, flooding, and drought. He suggests that governments need to discourage continued building along coasts by reducing flood insurance subsidies, so that people are not displaced in a disorderly way but can plan for living on higher ground. He urges people to think in terms of short (30 years), mid-term (50 years) and long-term (100 years) time frames to understand their SLR risk, but he argues that governments and business need to act today to be ready for disruptions from the already higher sea levels around the planet. He warns that accelerated ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica could lead to 5 feet or as much as 10 feet of SLR by 2050. We finish the conversation by discussing strategies for cooling the planet to prevent further damage, including the potential for geoengineering the atmosphere to reflect more sunlight back into space and carbon capture and sequestration technology.John Englander's previous book, High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis, jump-started the public conversation about SLR in 2012 and Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward, which was released this week, lays out ideas about how we can respond and adapt to rising seas.

Richard W Smith, oceanographer and ideaXme world's oceans ambassador interviews John Englander, President and Founder of Rising Seas Institute and author Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level. Rising Seas Climate change and rising sea levels are changing the boundary lines of our world, and, if left to continue at their current pace, pose considerable financial, ecological, and societal threats. So how can we combat rising tides in order to build for a better and more resilient future? To discuss the issue of rising sea levels, the ramifications they cause, and how we can mitigate their threat, oceanographer and ideaXme world's oceans ambassador Richard W Smith sat down with John Englander. John Englander John Englander is the founder of the Rising Seas Institute, a nonprofit "think tank and resource center" to advance the understanding of potential solutions to future flooding. Richard W. Smith, ideaXme world's oceans ambassador: [00:01:13] I'm Rick Smith, the ideaXme Oceans ambassador, an oceanographer and aquatic chemist with Global Aquatic Research. Richard W. Smith, ideaXme world's oceans ambassador: [00:01:25] Today, I'm joined by John Englander. He's an oceanographer, author and a renowned sea level rise expert who helps businesses and communities adapt to a rapidly changing climate. His best-selling book, High Tide on Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis has been listed by Politico as one of the top 50 books to read. He has a new book coming out April 6th this year, Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward. He's the founder and president of the Rising Seas Institute and was previously the CEO of the International SeaKeepers Society, The Cousteau Society and The Underwater Explorers Society. John Englander's History of Oceanographic Work Richard W. Smith, ideaXme world's oceans ambassador: [00:02:00] I'd like to explore the relationship between humans and coastlines. I would also like to take a deep dive into your history of oceanographic work and experiences. John, please tell us a little bit about yourself and how you started this very interesting and inspiring career in oceanography. John Englander, President and Founder of Rising Seas Institute: [00:02:22] Thanks. I'm glad to. My path is very unconventional, but I think more and more, everybody's path these days is unconventional. So, it's perhaps the normal now. I studied Earth Science (or Geology, as it was called at the time) in college and economics – and I was also a scuba diving instructor. This was back in 1972 to kind of date me or age me.  The ice ages or the Pleistocene, more properly, or paleo geology was the title of the course. Ancient geology fascinated me because I understood for the first time that ice ages were a recurring cycle in Earth's history and that as the ice sheets waned and grew, that sea level moved up and down 120 meters, about 400 feet and that just kind of blew my mind. Then when I was diving in the Bahamas and the clear water, I was a diving instructor during summer breaks from college, I found an ancient sea level 200 feet underwater and suddenly this clicked. Now, I didn't think it would change in my lifetime. Fast forward and I had decades in the diving industry after I graduated college and then I led a group to Greenland in 2007. It was there that it all kind of came together, that I realized, wait a minute, we are seeing sea level change, the early stage of it and this is something that human civilization has not experienced. John Englander, President and Founder of Rising Seas Institute: [00:03:55] The last time sea level was higher was 122,000 years ago when it was seven meters or 25 feet higher than today. So that blew my mind and I decided to write a book, but that took a lot more research. Somebody said it was kind of like my doctorate course in effect, which I never did. But writing the book is like that, of course, it's a thesis that is reviewed and vetted. That's been my path. It was kind of one thing leading to another, as happens for so many of us. Richard W. Smith, ideaXme world's oceans ambassador: [00:04:30] It sounds like you've spent a lot of your lifetime diving and probably have a huge number of experiences, I'm really interested, as an oceanographer, in some of the work that you did with The Cousteau Society and Jacques Cousteau. Could you tell us a little bit about that? John Englander, President and Founder of Rising Seas Institute: [00:04:48] Sure, Cousteau died in June '97. I was very involved in the diving industry, which he helped create, but he had kind of gone off on his own path for years, but we gave him an award. I was chairman of a group called Ocean Futures at the time, started by the diving industry. I got Jacques to come over to Orlando, Florida, in January of that year; this was a culmination of some meetings we've had where he was going to receive this award. We spent some time together and to my surprise, he asked me to become CEO of The Cousteau Society, which was just something I never would have expected. But I sold my dive business in the Bahamas and Jacques and I spent, I guess, three days, almost day and night talking to each other. Unfortunately, by the time I started working for him, he was in the hospital and three months later after that, he passed away. It was a turning point in my life because here was a guy that probably taught more oceanography to more people than anybody else ever. As you may recall, he had this regular TV program that was just fascinating and he had a great perspective because he'd been doing this for more than 70 years. It's hard to believe. He died at age 87. So, it was a real privilege and inspiration and got me to think of the world differently. He had a unique perspective, and I was privileged to share some of that. Richard W. Smith, ideaXme world's oceans ambassador: [00:06:24] I know from some of my own personal experiences diving, I'm a recreational diver as well. We will be talking about sea level rise today, but I'd just like to give a quick shout out to diving in coral reefs and I'd just like to say that for me, they've been some of the best opportunities I've ever had. Richard W. Smith, ideaXme world's oceans ambassador: [00:06:30] What is the current state of diving with some of the changes we've been seeing in the ocean today? We're not going to go too much into this, but things like ocean acidification and warming, just parts of the ocean changing as we know it, how are people adapting to that as divers? John Englander, President and Founder of Rising Seas Institute: [00:07:06] Well, I'm not involved in the diving industry anymore, and in fact, it's been a year since I did my last dive. So, I still dive occasionally, but having thousands of dives, mostly in the warm waters of the Bahamas, et cetera as well as being under the polar ice cap and in many places in the world, diving has changed quite a bit but the magic of being weightless and the exploration aspects of diving, I think will always be there. John Englander, President and Founder of Rising Seas Institute: [00:07:32] The reefs have certainly changed, as you've just alluded to, from the warming temperatures, from the excess nutrients that we're putting in the oceans, the various diseases, pathogens that are getting in, the algaes, the changing ecosystem from the demise of sea urchins which used to eat the algaes that suffocate the reef. So, most of the sea urchins are gone. Most reefs today are covered by this brown green algae or they've turned white from coral bleaching. There have been a lot of things happening to coral reefs, which were a special aspect of the ocean for people like you and me and millions of people, of course, tens of millions of people.

John Englander talks about how rising sea levels may be the challenge of the century and the extreme efforts it will take to reduce global warming so that its impacts can be reduced. He stresses to plan and execute adaptation to global sea level rise now as it will be the economic engine of the future. Join Cimpatico 

Pod 26 - In an extra-length episode, SUT CEO Steve Hall interviews John Englander, author and expert advisor on sea level rise. In his long ocean-focused career that has included serving as CEO of the Cousteau Society, running a diving business, advocacy work and much more, John has gained an international reputation as a trusted source of knowledge on a range of marine issues and is an acclaimed speaker. In the interview he explains the reality of sea level rise, emphasising that even if all human greenhouse emissions ended today, the momentum in the Air-Sea-Ice system means that we've already banked hundreds of years of inevitable rising seas. There's abundant observational evidence that the rate of rise is speeding up, and that rises of over 1 metre this century are entirely realistic. The impact on coastal regions will be enormous, impacting habitation, infrastructure, ports and harbours, estuaries, low-lying island states and much more. We should be planning for world where the sea level is 3 or 4 metres higher than it is today. There's nothing we can do to stop it, only adapt. John goes on to mention the planned establishment of the Rising Seas Institute, and looks forward to working with SUT, IMarEST and other Learned Societies & Decision Makers to help the world prepare for the coming situation.

John Englander is an oceanographer, consultant and leading expert on sea level rise. His broad marine science background coupled with explorations to Greenland and Antarctica allows him to see the big picture of sea level rise and its societal impacts.

John Englander believes humanity is faced with three distinct challenges when it comes to climate change:   1. Slow warming by reducing greenhouse gasses 2. Be more resilient to extreme weather 3. Adapt to a new baseline of climate reality   Conservative estimates indicate global sea level will rise 5-10 feet in the next 100 years. Soon we will have to look at coastal real estate as a depreciating asset.

Bangkok’s live performance scene is evolving in some interesting ways, and nowhere is that more clear than at Bombyx, the city’s most popular live storytelling event. We chat with organizer John Englander about the history of the event and what makes it special, including how speakers are chosen (and rejected), and what ingredients it takes from Bangkok’s eclecting local and expat communities. John also tells us about his own first experience as a Bombyx speaker, and how terror quickly turned into pure adrenaline when he learned how to properly shape a story for his audience, how to prepare to entertain a bunch of strangers, and how he finally cracked the sad:funny ratio when telling a touching story. Ed - as a Bombyx presenter multiple times himself - also tells the stories behind his own stories, and Greg reveals that he will give his first Bombyx presentation at the event that happens on 24 May - two days after this episode drops! We hope to see you there. And yes, we do ask John why it’s called Bombyx and what exactly that means - you’ll have to listen for the answer. :) As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we’ll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

Internationally famed sea level rise expert John Englander explains why his upcoming tour to the majestic island of Greenland is so important, and how you can personally participate in witnessing the velocity of historic land ice melt by spending a week in one of the most intriguing areas on our fragile Earth. In this March 18, 2019 interview with the Author of "High Tide on Main Street, Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis," Climate Monitor's Mitch Chester questions Mr. Englander about the pace of change on the Greenland ice sheet, and why we need to monitor it with extreme caution. You can tour with Mr. Englander in Greenland later this year. For more information, visit JohnEnglander.net or by sending an email to Greenland@JohnEnglander.net.

John Englander is an oceanographer, spanning many disciplines and areas of expertise. He is a global ocean explorer with personal experiences on expeditions under the polar ice cap, deep dives in research submarines, and visits to Greenland and Antarctica. His mission is to be a clear, objective voice on our changing climate and oceans. Mr. Englander’s broad marine science background, coupled with dual majors in Geology and Economics allows him to see the big picture on climate and look ahead to the large-scale financial and societal impacts, particularly as they relate to sea level rise. High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis, his new book, was released October 22, 2012, a week before Hurricane Sandy hit the New York City area. John described just such an event hitting NYC as an example of what could occur, never imagining it would happen a week later. The book has received unanimous strong praise for its ability to take the latest science and put it into a long-term view that anyone can understand. Using his own unique metaphors, from a 47-floor elevator to the world’s largest outdoor swimming pool, he makes the height and timeframe of sea level rise compelling and memorable.

“The Bay Area will be here 200 years from now. It will look different. There will be some things that have changed...but you’re going to be here. Miami won’t be here 200 years from now,” said John Englander, author of High Tide on Main Street. Englander discusses how sea levels are rising putting coastal communities at risk for flooding, larger storm surges, and erosion. Drought, superstorms and other extreme weather events hit the U.S. hard in 2012. “We are seeing more extreme weather, and we likely will continue to see more extreme weather, and not only that but it will probably last longer,” says Angela Fritz, an Atmospheric Scientist at Weather Underground. A conversation on the impacts of climate change on communities in a warming world. This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club of California March 18, 2013

Lisa Cohn of RealEnergyWriters.com interviews John Englander, author of the book, “High Tide on Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis," explains why it's so critical to curb carbon dioxide emissions. He says more storms like Sandy and higher sea levels are ahead.
