1.5C. It's THE number we talk about when we talk about climate change. But what does 1.5C actually mean now – and as the world saw record-breaking heat last year, does it even matter anymore? Climate scientist Mark Maslin and environmental psychologist Lorraine Whitmarsh discuss. Also this week, new clues about how life may have begun from a dusty space rock called Bennu, and New Scientist's Graham Lawton brings us the science of the week, including AI's ‘Sputnik moment', the mice born with two fathers, and how often do unexpected discoveries happen? Presenter: Victoria Gill Producers: Sophie Ormiston, Ella Hubber & Gerry Holt Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth If you want to test your climate change knowledge, head to bbc.co.uk search for BBC Inside Science and follow the links to The Open University to take the quiz.
In this special episode hosts Mark Maslin and Simon Chin Yee give us behind the scenes insights and their verdicts on the outcome of COP29. This COP was mainly about the money and went into extra time, but our hosts unpack it and take a deep dive into the key results with the help of special guests in the studio Priti Parikh, Professor of Infrastructure Engineering and International Development, at UCL's Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction and Anoushka Jain, a UCL Politics and International Relations student and member of the UK Youth Climate Coalition. We even round off this episode with some post COP music therapy! Let the spine tingling music wash over you. It's a new composition from the collaboration between UCL and the BBC Young Composer project. UCL teamed up with the BBC Young Composer competition to inspire the winners to create brand new pieces based on UCL's climate science. Composing for the Climate is a collaboration between UCL and the BBC as part of East Bank – the UK's newest culture quarter on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park where UCL has a campus.

In this week's episode of the Climate Confident podcast I chat with Professor Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth Systems Science from University College London.
"I think the most important thing is realizing how much impact humans have had on the planet. For example, did you know that we move more rock and sediment than all the natural processes put together? We also have created enough concrete already to cover the whole world in a layer that's two millimeters thick, and that includes the oceans. We have also created and make something like 300 million tons of plastic every single year, which we know ends up in our rivers. It ends up in our oceans. And we've also found that microplastics have been found in human blood. So this is the impact we're having all around the world. We've also cut down 3 trillion trees, that's half the trees on the planet. We have doubled carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We've increased methane by about 150%, which has led to a warming of the planet of about 1.2 degrees Celsius. And If you weigh the land mammals, 30% of that weight is us humans. There are 8 billion of us, and I have to say a few of us could lose a few pounds, but 67% of that weight is our livestock. And just 3% is those wild animals. So in less than 5,000 years, we've gone from 99% being wild animals to less than 3%. That's how much impact we humans have had on the planet."Can we imagine a world where we leave half the earth to the natural environment and use the other half for ourselves?

"EO Wilson suggested that we had to think about the world as a place that we share. And he said: Look, we always seem to need a lot of stuff. So why don't we leave half the earth to the natural environment and allow all the natural processes that we need, and then we use the other half for ourselves. And it's an interesting concept because it says to economists and to the capitalist system: you cannot use all of it. You have to leave half of it to allow the systems to produce clean air, clean water, and allow for biodiversity and ecosystems to restore themselves."Can we imagine a world where we leave half the earth to the natural environment and use the other half for ourselves?

What we need to do is take their training wheels off and get rid of regulation, because they believed this would lift everybody out of poverty. That didn't happen.

"And what's very interesting is that at the moment there is this mass movement of people to our cities, making them megacities. And so we are actually depopulating the rural areas. So the very strange thing is that the Earth, it's becoming a wilder place. And therefore there are so many opportunities where people are leaving to go to the big cities where we can rewild, we can reforest, and we can bring back nature to actually keep those services that we absolutely rely on.We are so powerful as a planetary species, not individually, but collectively, that we have had that impact, that we have changed the geological destiny of the planet through changing the environment, changing the climate, and changing the evolutionary destiny - because we're already causing lots of extinctions - but also lots of new organisms to be evolving. And we are creating them in labs as well."Can we imagine a world where we leave half the earth to the natural environment and use the other half for ourselves?

What we need to do is take their training wheels off and get rid of regulation, because they believed this would lift everybody out of poverty. That didn't happen. What happened was, if you don't regulate markets, suddenly all of that money goes to the top. So I'm going to give you an example of how skewed our global system is. There are currently eight billionaires in the world, and they're all white males who own the same wealth as the bottom 4 billion people. That suggests that neoliberalism has not worked."Can we imagine a world where we leave half the earth to the natural environment and use the other half for ourselves?

"And what's very interesting is that at the moment there is this mass movement of people to our cities, making them megacities. And so we are actually depopulating the rural areas. So the very strange thing is that the Earth, it's becoming a wilder place. And therefore there are so many opportunities where people are leaving to go to the big cities where we can rewild, we can reforest, and we can bring back nature to actually keep those services that we absolutely rely on.We are so powerful as a planetary species, not individually, but collectively, that we have had that impact, that we have changed the geological destiny of the planet through changing the environment, changing the climate, and changing the evolutionary destiny - because we're already causing lots of extinctions - but also lots of new organisms to be evolving. And we are creating them in labs as well."Can we imagine a world where we leave half the earth to the natural environment and use the other half for ourselves?

"I think that young people should understand our history. And I think this is incredibly important. So it is sometimes very difficult to talk to young people in the UK about relations with other countries. Because they don't have the history, they don't understand the colonial history. They don't understand where the British Empire slaughtered people or imposed draconian measures or actually had huge impacts on different societies. And I think if you understand where your society has come from with all the good and bad bits, you can then say: Okay, now I understand where we are situated. I can understand where economics has come from. I understand that neoliberalism was an effort to try and lift everybody out of poverty, but it hass failed. So for me, it is understanding where we've come from, understanding the struggles, and understanding why the poorest, vulnerable people and Indigenous people are always at the front end of any conflict or crisis.

This week we're talking about climate change. The COP27 climate conference is about to begin in Egypt. But what will be the conference's own carbon emissions? And can the event deliver for Africa? Leaders from the worlds of politics, industry, activism, and academia will gather again – for COP27 – in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt. A COP taking place in Africa underlines many of the pressing issues that delegates will face. How can justice be achieved for those countries that are least responsible for CO2 levels, but often the most damaged by climate change? And how can such a large-scale event, bringing people together from around the world, be run without in itself creating more environmental damage? This week we are joined by Dr Simon Chin-Yee, Lecturer in International Development in the UCL Department of Political Science and Professor Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth System Science in the UCL Department of Geography.

Prof Mark Maslin provides an introduction to the climate crisis we are facing and the challenges of reaching Net Zero emissions globally by 2050. He will examine what Governments, Companies and Individuals can do to deal with the environmental crisis while making people around the world healthier, wealthier and safer. Hosted and facilitated by climate activist and climate documentraty maker Shooka Bidarian. Profesor Mark Maslin přináší úvod do současné klimatické krize a nastíní cesty k dosažení nulových čistých emisí na celém světě do roku 2050. Co mohou vlády, společnosti a jednotlivci dělat, aby se vypořádali s ekologickou krizí a zároveň směřovali ke zdravějšímu, bohatšímu a bezpečnějšímu životu? Moderuje klimatická aktivistka a dokumentaristka Shooka Bidarian.
Extinction rebellion, the climate strikes, Greta Thunberg, the IPCC recent reports and BBC and Netflix documentaries have changed the conversation on climate change. There's now a groundswell of public concern a groundswell of public concern that human impact on the planet is unacceptable and we should be smart enough to correct it. Given wide spread public support it seems strange that Governments are taking so long to move on to a Net Zero emissions pathway. So the need for climate activism seems to be even more urgent that ever before. Tshering Tobgay and Shooka Bidarian, both passionate advocates for our precious environment, one from politics and one from the media, discuss why activism is still so important and why it might just help to save our planet. Moderated by Mark Maslin. Protesty a stávky, Greta Thunberg, dokumenty BBC a Netflix proměnily diskuzi o změně klimatu. Vzhledem k všeobecným obavám a široké podpoře veřejnosti se zdá až zvláštní, že vládám trvá tak dlouho, než nastoupí cestu nulových čistých emisí. Potřeba klimatického aktivismu se tedy zdá být ještě naléhavější než kdy dříve. Tshering Tobgay a Shooka Bidarian, oba vášniví zastánci našeho drahocenného životního prostředí, on z prostředí politiky a ona z médií, diskutují o tom, proč je aktivismus stále důležitý a jak by mohl pomoci zachránit naši planetu. Moderuje Mark Maslin.
Microplastic contamination of the oceans is one of the world's most pressing environmental concerns. The terrestrial component of the global microplastic budget is not well understood because sources, stores and fluxes are poorly quantified. Professor Jamie Woodward explains how his research shows how microplastics get transport from source through the river systems of the world to our oceans – he suggests many things we can do to stop this flood of plastic into our precious oceans. Moderated by Mark Maslin. Kontaminace oceánů mikroplasty je jedním z nejnaléhavějších světových ekologických problémů. Pozemská složka globálního rozpočtu na mikroplasty není dobře uchopena, protože zdroje, zásoby a toky jsou špatně kvantifikované. Profesor Jamie Woodward vysvětluje, jak se mikroplasty přepravují od zdrojů přes říční systémy do našich oceánů, a navrhuje řadu věcí, které můžeme udělat, abychom záplavu plastů do našich drahocenných oceánů zastavili. Moderuje Mark Maslin.
Climate change is causing distress, anger and other negative emotions in children and young people worldwide, according to a survey of thousands of 16- to 25-year-olds. The research led by Dr Liz Marks and published in The Lancet found that ‘eco-anxiety' has a negative impact on respondents' daily lives, and is partly caused by the feeling that governments aren't doing enough to avoid a climate catastrophe. In this session we discuss how young people can deal and process climate anxiety and how this can lead to great agency and more climate action. Moderated by Mark Maslin. Podle průzkumů vyvolává změna klimatu u mladých lidí ve věku 16 až 25 let po celém světě úzkost, hněv a další negativní emoce. Výzkum vedený doktorkou Liz Marks a publikovaný v The Lancet zjistil, že „eko-úzkost“ má negativní dopady na každodenní život respondentů a je částečně způsobena pocitem, že vlády nedělají dost pro to, aby odvrátily klimatickou katastrofu. Budeme diskutovat o tom, jak mohou mladí lidé v sobě zpracovat klimatickou úzkost a zda může řešení psychologických obtíží nastartovat větší úsilí státních orgánů v oblasti klimatu. Moderuje Mark Maslin.
Creator Mike Faulkner and producer Marek Wolynski will discuss with Mark Maslin what inspired them to make such a piece of work and how the visualisation of everyday activities can provide insights into our environmental and climate crises. Moderated by Mark Maslin.
We are in the middle of a global environmental crisis. Three trillion trees have been cut down – half of trees on the planet. 25% is the land surface used for the benefit of humans. Many experts suggest we are entering the 6th mass extinction. So how can our greater appreciation of our planet natural history help us understand the human impact on the planet and how we can deal with it? Prof. Peter Kjaergaard and Dr Paige Madison are building new museum of Natural History in Copenhagen and this is producing fresh insights to why our understanding and appreciation of natural history is essential if we are to save our planet. Moderated by Mark Maslin. Nacházíme se uprostřed globální ekologické krize. Polovina stromů na planetě byla pokácena, čtvrtina zemského povrchu je využívána ve prospěch člověka. Mnoho odborníků naznačuje, že vstupujeme do éry šestého hromadného vymírání druhů. Jak nám může poznání přírodní historie pomoci porozumět vlivu člověka na planetu? Peter Kjaergaard a Paige Madison budují nové přírodovědné muzeum v Kodani a přinášejí nové poznatky o tom, proč je naše porozumění a docenění přírodní historie nezbytné, máme-li Zemi zachránit. Moderuje Mark Maslin.
COVID-19's Lingering Toll On The Heart As new omicron-specific boosters against COVID-19 unroll in cities around the US, research is revealing more about the longterm consequences of even one infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus. Writing this week in Nature Medicine, a team of researchers from Germany describe finding long-lasting signs of heart disorders in the majority of recovered patients in their study group–even up to nearly a year later. FiveThirtyEight's Maggie Koerth joins Ira to describe the research and how it fits into what we're learning about the scope of Long Covid. Plus taking the temperature of the melting Thwaites Glacier, new insights into the genes of both immortal jellyfish and human astronauts, and a post-mortem of the world's first known amputation. Why Are Dead Fish Piling Up Across The San Francisco Bay? Thousands of dead fish are piling up across the Bay Area. From the concrete outer edges of Oakland's Lake Merritt to the sandy beaches of San Francisco's Fort Funston and the pebbled banks of Oyster Point in San Mateo County, the carcasses of fish likely poisoned by a harmful algal bloom — more commonly known as a red tide — are washing ashore. It's a mass-death event the San Francisco Bay hasn't seen the likes of in years, says Jon Rosenfield, senior scientist with environmental group San Francisco Baykeeper. “From a fish's point of view, this is a wildfire in the water,” he said. By SF Baykeeper's count, the number of fish dying off in the San Francisco Bay could easily exceed hundreds of thousands, and that, Rosenfield said, might even be a “low” estimate. His field investigator confirmed “easily tens of thousands of fish dead” in Lake Merritt alone. But Rosenfield cautioned, “What you see is just the hint of what's actually happening further beneath the water's surface and in places you're not getting to on the shoreline. So it's really an uncountable number.” It may be harmful to humans, too. An algal bloom of this size can cause skin irritation and respiratory problems, and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board is advising people to avoid swimming, kayaking or other activities on the water until the bloom subsides. Read the full story at sciencefriday.com. As Temperatures Get Warmer, Fish Are At Risk Climate change is expected to have a big effect on a sensitive group of creatures: fish. A new study out of the University of Arkansas predicts that there is likely to be a six-fold increase in large fish mortality events between now and 2100, specifically in freshwater lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Known as “summerkills” and “winterkills”, seasonal die-offs are a part of fishy nature, but have been happening at a greater frequency as temperatures increase. That's due to climate change-related factors like algal blooms, infectious disease, and oxygen deprivation. Joining Ira to talk about the future for freshwater fish is Simon Tye, PhD candidate in biology at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. As The World Decarbonizes, Sulfuric Acid May Be In Short Supply A move towards more alternative energy sources and away from fossil fuel production is a net positive for the world. But there's an unanticipated side effect—a possible global sulfuric acid supply shortage. Eighty percent of the world's sulfuric acid is the byproduct of fossil fuel production. Cutting back on coal, oil, and natural gas means producing less sulfur acid. That's important as sulfuric acid is critical to making fertilizer, as well as green technology like solar panels and batteries. Ira talks with Mark Maslin, professor of Earth System Science at University College London, about his latest research, which points to a looming sulfur shortage. The New G.O.A.T Of Park Systems Is An Actual Goat If you walk into a park, the odds are pretty high that you'll find an invasive plant species, like buckthorn, giant hogweed, or multiflora rose. These resilient plants can often grow uncontrollably and out-compete native species for resources, which has consequences for native wildlife that depend on other native plants. They can also be incredibly difficult to remove. That's why a growing number of parks across the United States are turning to unlikely helpers: goats. Conservation grazing is a practice in which livestock are used to maintain biodiversity. Because goats eat almost everything, they chow down on invasive plants and make them much easier to remove. Radio producer Rasha Aridi speaks with Hillary Steffes, the chief goat herder at Allegheny GoatScape in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about using goats as a conservation tool. Then, Rasha takes a trip to Riverside Park in NYC to meet some goats, and talk with Marcus Caceres, a field supervisor at the Riverside Park Conservancy. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Last week, temperatures in the UK reached a record-breaking 40.3 degrees centigrade. As Britons sweltered in their homes and offices, railway lines buckled, fires broke out in Greater London and the tarmac on Luton Airport runway began to lift. Climate Change scientists now describe this kind of heat as 'the new normal'.How well is Britain set up to cope with extreme weather events? Do we need to start heat-proofing our houses and infrastructure? And does government need to focus more on adapting to climate change?Joining David Aaronovitch are:Mark Maslin, professor of Climatology at University College LondonGlenn McGregor, professor of Climatology at Durham UniversityRichard Dawson, professor of Engineering at Newcastle University and member of the UK's Climate Change Committee Kathryn Brown, former head of the Adaption at the UK's Climate Change CommitteeProducers: Tim Mansel, Kirsteen Knight and Simon Watts.

Imagine a future without climate change: clean air, less pollution, and renewable energy. We always talk about the downsides, but what about focusing more on the solutions? As humans, we have as much power to create and nurture our planet as we do to destroy it. Professor Mark Maslin believes that climate change and the environmental crisis are a challenge and an opportunity to help everyone realize that the planet is worth saving, protecting, and preserving for future generations. Mark is an author, professor of Earth System Science at University College London (UCL), and Co-Founder & Chief Science Officer of Rezatec. Mark's areas of scientific expertise include the cause of global climate change and its effect on the carbon cycle, biodiversity, rainforest, and evolution. He is a leading scientist with particular expertise in past, present, and future climate change. In today's episode, Cory and Mark discuss the extremely broad overview of climate change and the issues that we face. Going back to the past, understanding the present, and imagining the future of climate with humanity, Mark explains the power we all have to make a positive or negative impact on the planet. ⭐ SPONSORED BY: The Greater Good & Saybrook University -- --
Mark Maslin is a professor of Earth System Science at University College London and a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit scholar. Mark is a leading scientist in past global and regional climatic change and its links to human evolution, and has written dozens of popular science articles and popular books, including The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene (with Simon Lewis) – just out in paperback. In this episode, we spoke with Mark about the link between human evolution and climate change, and the debate surrounding the Anthropocene epoch. In discussing human evolution, we touch on topics such as the development of bipedalism and human intelligence. Mark explains the extent of human impact on the Earth, hence creating the Anthropocene. We also cover the political debate on defining the Anthropocene and the evolution of international and national politics surrounding climate change.

Extreme temperatures and wildfires have devastated parts of British Columbia in recent days. As the climate continues to warm, are humans ready for the consequences? Mark Maslin, a climate change professor at University College London in the U.K., tells us we need to rethink the way we design our world to handle hotter temperatures.
"We have everything we need to fix things and make it better for everyone in the world. Perhaps not the billionaires."Can business leaders make a serious dent in climate change? Mark Maslin, UCL professor of Sustainability, company founder of Rezatec and author of "How to Save Our Planet - the Facts", believes that we can, that we should, and starts to arm us with the facts to do it.This was a more broad-ranging episode than most so far in this podcast. I speak to Mark about us as humans, the society we live in, whether growth as a goal is bad, the approaches we've taken to building businesses, and as a result, the challenge and mission that lays ahead of us all.There's a lot more nuance to this than your average pub chat!We also talk about different industries and how they can or can't evolve. How the fossil fuel industry's own spokespeople are admitting that they need to switch off today, how concrete poses a paradox (damaging and really bloody useful!), and the similar challenges for the airline industry.We dip into how services companies, who mostly have a relatively small direct carbon footprint, don't and shouldn't get off scott-free, but need to look at their entire value chain and see how they can get involved to help there.For all companies, we dip into the practicality of how to start the journey.And the advantage that startups have.So if you're looking for how business fits into society, evolution, History (with a capital H), anthropology, the anthropocene, and several other big degree words, listen in to this fascinating episode of the Karmic Capitalist podcast. Find it on your podcast platform, or in the link below.And most importantly - just buy the book. You can find it here https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/books/mark-a-maslin/how-to-save-our-planet/9780241472521.
How do we unpick the damage of Neoliberalism? How can we break the connections between work and income and unsustainable consumerism? Amidst the ideas of how our climate is changing, Professor Mark Maslin, FRGS, FRSA, offers answers to the social and economic ills of our time. Mark Maslin FRGS, FRSA is a Professor of Earth System Science at University College London. He is a Royal Society Industrial Fellowship, Executive Director of Rezatec Ltd and Director of The London NERC Doctoral Training Partnership. He is a member of Cheltenham Science Festival Advisory Committee and sits on the Corporate Social Responsibility Board of the Sopria-Steria Group and Sheep Included Ltd. Mark is a leading scientist with particular expertise in past global and regional climatic change. He has published over 175 papers in journals such as Science, Nature, and The Lancet. His areas of scientific expertise include causes of past and future global climate change and its effects on the global carbon cycle, biodiversity, rainforests and human evolution. He also works on monitoring land carbon sinks using remote sensing and ecological models and international and national climate change policies, and has presented over 50 public talks over the last five years including Google UK, Twitter EU, New Scientist Live, UK Space conference, Oxford, Cambridge, RGS, Tate Modern, Royal Society of Medicine, Fink Club, Frontline Club, British Museum, Natural History Museum, Goldman Sachs, the Norwegian Government, UNFCCC COP and the WTO. He has also written 8 popular books, over 60 popular articles. His “Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction” by Oxford University Press is now in its fourth edition and has sold over 50,000 copies. In this podcast, we talk about his most recent book, 'How to Save our Planet: the Facts' which does exactly what it says on the tin. A crips, cleanly written, utterly absorbing book, this is one of the clearest books ever written on the nature of the problems that assail us, the fact that it's not too late to change - and what we need to do at every level of society to change things. It's small enough to leave in the smallest room of the house - or by the kettle in the kitchen - so that everyone who comes by can pick it up and learn something useful. This is how we change the world, one aphorism at a time.

Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics--the old forces of nature--have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force--humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth's future. To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word, the Anthropocene, is a heady mix of science, philosophy, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. In The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene (Yale UP, 2018), scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.

Crucial climate negotiations loom in 2021. Despite the incredible disruption caused by COVID-19, the work of the climate policymakers, researchers and activists is not, in any way, on hold. It is important to flag that this interview with one of UCLs leading climatologists was recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020. Nevertheless, this lively conversation ranging from climate change to green capitalism remains as pertinent today as ever. Mark Maslin FRGS, FRSA is a Professor of Climatology at University College London. His areas of scientific expertise include causes of past and future global climate change and its effects on the global carbon cycle, biodiversity, rainforests and human evolution. He also works on monitoring land carbon sinks using remote sensing and ecological models and international and national climate change policies. In addition to advisory positions with the Global Cool Foundation, the Sopria-Steria Group and the Cheltenham Science Festival Advisory Committee, Mark has written 8 books, and over 30 articles. His popular book “Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction” by Oxford University Press is now in its third edition and has sold over 40,000 copies. Mark was also a co-author of the seminal Lancet report ‘Managing the health effects of climate change' and the Lancet review paper on the health links between Population, Development and Climate Change.

The scale of human impact on our planet is not easy to engage with – even scientists often have a narrow focus on the specific problems they're trying to solve. In this episode, we talk with Professor Mark Maslin about humanity's impact on the planet and the new geological epoch into which we are entering as a result – the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene is the scientific definition of the geological time frame in which human impact has become so large that we're now in a new geological epoch. It only identifies the “when” without ascribing causation, but will allow us to move forward to discussing specific causes. In this interview, Mark first of all presents the scale of our environmental impact with powerful data. First there is the tremendous impact from the vast amount of concrete we need for buildings and more, in fact we've already made enough to cover the entire planet with a 2mm layer. In addition, we've already destroyed what should be normal ecology on land, with only 3% of land mammals being wildlife (the other 97% being humans and domesticated animals). Not to mention the deforestation – we've already harvested effectively half of the trees on the planet. Mark talks about an inherent contradiction between the environmental problems we're facing and continued economic growth. We're currently on track to double the size of our economic system, but we desperately need to break our obsession with consumption, question the Western model and rethink the way we define economic systems to account for impacts to society. Mark believes there is hope that we now have enough knowledge to do something about our predicament, but argues we need several big changes. One is effective leaders who can make real change by leveraging crises to implement balances and checks. We need to take advantage of win-win situations where there is a positive impact that will also happen beyond addressing global climate impacts. Mark suggests we should tackle reforestation, as people move to urban centers and we have available land. He argues we should adopt Universal Basic Income so that people have breathing room to truly innovate and become entrepreneurs and problem solvers. And last but not least, that we should empower the next generation who is already motivated and engaging with climate strikes. Mark Maslin is leading scientist with particular expertise in past global and regional climatic change. He is published in over 165 papers in journals such as Science, Nature, and The Lancet and authored 8 popular books including most recently, The Human Planet. He is Professor of Earth Systems Science at University College London, a Royal Society Industrial Fellow, Executive Director of Rezatec Ltd and science advisor to the Global Cool Foundation. The post Episode 70: Interview with Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth Systems Science, UCL, author of The Human Planet appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.
In our series examining the world economy from the perspective of the chemical elements, we look at how the industrial revolution was really an energy revolution driven by carbon-based fossil fuels. Chemistry professor Andrea Sella of University College London and his geology colleague professor Mark Maslin explain the chemical wizardry that makes carbon the ultimate fuel. We hear from Dr Paul Warde an industrial historian at the University of East Anglia, about how the 'C' element has powered the longest and most sustained economic boom in the history of humanity. But how long can it last? Can we expect the mother of all crashes when the carbon crunch finally comes? Two former oil men, Chris Mottershead, former head of energy security at BP and now vice principal for research at King's College in London and John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil, give us their perspectives on the whether the world is ready to tackle its addiction to fossil fuels, before the fuel runs out and in time to avert a looming climate change disaster.
