Charlie Walker's adventures have taken him to the most remote and challenging places in the world. During this episode he shares stories from his epic 43,000-mile cycle tour, spanning across Europe, Asia, and Africa. But his adventures are not just taken on a bike - he has also trekked across Papua New Guinea, hiked in the Siberian Arctic, paddled down a tributary of the Congo River and recently cycled (or hike a biked!) through the Gola Rainforest in West Africa.These adventures haven't all been smooth sailing. Indeed, Charlie has faced moments of extreme hardship, including an imprisonment in a Siberian detention centre in 2022 - within weeks of Russia invading Ukraine. Charlie also reflects on the awe-inspiring moments he's been lucky to have due to his adventures - enjoying times of pure solitude and the feelings of being alone in a vast and empty landscape. We also talk about the changing landscape of travel brought on by technology, and how much things have changed since he first started taking long distance adventures.You can follow Charlie via his instagram account - @cwexplore and his website - www.cwexplore.com where you can also purchase his books which I highly recommend!!

We hear about the big picture of climate change almost every day — the threats it poses, the effects on our world and lives, the fight to stop it. Across the world, armies of researchers are contributing pieces to that big picture narrative every day. They often travel long distances and brave the elements to collect information, one small data point at a time. How do Antarctic penguins fare when warming temperatures bring changing conditions to a part of the continent? How do we really know what Earth's climate was like in the past, and how it compares to today? What's it like to spend months living on an old oil drilling ship, in search of tiny ancient fossils? On this special episode of The Pulse, we go behind the headlines to spend time with scientists on the front lines of climate research. We'll hear how they're collecting data, what they're learning, and what keeps them motivated. Also heard on this week's episode: The Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing some of the fastest warming on Earth — and scientists are already seeing the effects among two of the region's penguin populations: the Adélie and the Gentoo. Reporter Sophia Schmidt talks with penguin researchers about what changes they're witnessing, and why. We talk with leading climate scientist Kim Cobb about her work in the field of paleoclimatology, and what studying coral — old and new — can tell us about the earth's ancient climate history. She also explains what's next on the horizon in our fight against global warming. Cobb is director of the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, and a recent addition to President Biden’s Intelligence Advisory Board. There's a certain way we expect scientists to communicate — in calm, measured tones that prioritize facts over feelings. But science communicator Joe Duggan thought that feelings were an important part of the narrative — a powerful tool to communicate how urgent climate research is. He decided to ask scientists to express their emotions about their work and the fate of the planet in letters. Nichole Currie reports on his project. On a beach in the Siberian Arctic, a marine biologist lives in a small hut and waits for more than 100,000 walruses to pile their massive bodies on shore. The walruses overcrowd the beach and sometimes die due to stampedes. This coming out-of-the-water phenomenon is called a “haulout,” and it's a result of climate change. Filmmaker Evgenia Arbugaeva talks about documenting this phenomenon and the scientist who studies the walruses. “Haulout” was nominated for an Academy Award for best Documentary Short Film this year.
Co-directors Evgenia Arbugaeva and Maxim Arbugaev (a sister-and-brother filmmaking team) are native filmmakers who document a remarkable event of global significance in their Arctic homeland in the Academy Award nominated documentary short film HAULOUT. This urgent film follows a marine biologist living in the Siberian Arctic as he chronicles the planet's largest walrus haulout. The gathering of thousands of these marine mammals is a consequence of climate change; warming seas have forced the walruses to congregate on land, where stampedes and trampling can result in fatalities. Co-director Evgenia Arbugaeva (Maxim Arbugaev) join us for a conversation on how they met and then decided to follow marine biologist Maxim Chakilev, the challenges of living at the site where Maxim was collecting data on the walruses and the moment Evgenia and her brother Maxim found out that they were the first Yakutian filmmakers to be nominated for an Academy Award.

In 2018, brother and sister filmmaking duo Evgenia Arbugaeva and Maxim Arbugaev traveled to a beach in the Siberian Arctic — an area in Northeast Russia. When they arrived on this beach, the sand was almost black in color, and a horrifying smell of decay filled the air. The beach looked deserted, except for a man living in a small hut nearby. His name is Maxim Chakilev. He's a marine biologist who waits for more than 100,000 walruses to pile their massive bodies on this beach in autumn. The walruses overcrowd the beach and sometimes die due to stampedes. This coming out-of-the-water phenomenon is called a haulout, and it's a result of climate change in the area. After witnessing a haulout with Chakilev, Arbugaeva and her brother returned to the beach in 2020 to live with the biologist for three months and film his every move. For weeks at time, the hut was completely surrounded by the animals, making it impossible to leave. They produced a documentary with The New Yorker on their findings last year called “Haulout” – and it's nominated for an Academy Award for best Documentary Short Film this year. Filmmaker Evgenia Arbugaeva spoke to host Maiken Scott about the film. Interview highlights Why do walruses haulout on this beach? “So, in an ideal world, walruses would not come out on land at all, or they would come out in very small numbers. They’re migratory animals. And they would rest on floating ice during their migration and feeding. But because there is no ice in summer anymore, they’re just forced to come out, haulout, on land to rest. And the reason why they come out on this particular beach is because their feeding ground, which is mollusks on the bottom of the ocean, is about 200 kilometers from this beach. So, what they do, they go feed, then they come back, and they rest on the beach, and then they go back and feed, and they do it about three times.” Inside the visual experience of a haulout “I felt that I was in the film “Lord of the Rings,” and there was the army of orcs. It was scary, and it was scary because they’re not aggressive animals because especially when they’re on the beach, they’re in their unnatural environment. So, they’re really vulnerable, and actually, they’re so easily scared. So, any foreign smell or sound can scare them and kind of send this wave of panic in the whole haulout. So, we had to be really careful actually, not to scare them, not to use the stove, not to produce any smell, not to use a generator, which was quite challenging because we couldn’t use batteries, or charge our batteries. But the sound was scary because you could hear the animals struggling, you could hear some voices, like very high-pitched voices of cubs that are looking for their mothers and being separated or being squashed by these bigger animals.” Maxim Chakilev's concerns about the walrus population and climate change Maxim Chakilev is a marine biologist who has been researching pacific walruses in the Siberian Arctic for a decade. (The New Yorker Studios) “The biggest concern, of course, is how this animal adapts to the new reality that this has been happening for a long time now. Maxim started his research 10 years ago … And unfortunately, as we know, this process is irreversible. So, there will be a possibility of a shrinking of the population of the animal. I think all biologists that are now working are concerned about the same thing really, of the disappearance of species and what can be done to protect them.” Filming during the hottest year on record in the Arctic “We were anticipating, of course, that we’ll be surrounded by walruses, but we didn’t know for how long. And that was the record. The longest time walruses were on the beach. And so, we planned only for a maximum of a week being surrounded. And we had just enough water for that time. And when we realized it will be two weeks, and it went to almost three weeks, we started to be really worried about the amount of water that we had. And we had to be very careful not to wash our hands and just keep it for drinking.” The takeaway message from the film, “Haulout” “We made this film because we wanted to show people what really is happening in the Arctic, and we wanted to make it in the way that is not heavily message-driven or narrated. We wanted people to see for themselves that this is the reality that animals in the Arctic are facing and that we just need to do something about it. We need to be realistic. I mean, there are so many ways to talk about climate change. Oftentimes, it’s stories of hope, which I also support. There has to be hope, but there also has to be some realistic understanding of what is really going on. And I hope our film will contribute to that understanding.”
As winter takes its icy grip, and we head outside into a cold and crisp morning, we might be dreaming of warmer and sunnier days that lie ahead. Although, for many, summer might give us the most clement weather, our changing climate might mean that our chilly winter season becomes a thing of the past. So maybe we should enjoy it while we can.随着冬天的冰冷,我们走到外面进入一个寒冷而清爽的早晨,我们可能梦想着未来更温暖、更阳光的日子。尽管对许多人来说,夏天可能会给我们带来最温和的天气,但我们不断变化的气候可能意味着我们寒冷的冬季将成为过去。所以也许我们应该尽可能地享受它。Last year, the World Meteorological Organization found that the Earth continued to endure a period of significant heating, making it one of the three hottest years on record. The most notable warmth was in the Siberian Arctic, where temperatures were 5°C above average. The evidence shows that much of this climate warming is driven by human activity.去年,世界气象组织发现地球继续经历一段显着升温的时期,使其成为有记录以来最热的三个年份之一。最显着的温暖出现在西伯利亚北极地区,那里的温度比平均水平高 5°C。证据表明,这种气候变暖在很大程度上是由人类活动驱动的。With a shift in meteorological conditions, we're likely to see more record-breaking temperatures, where, in certain places, summers will be scorching hot and winters mild. This means for some, snowy winters could become a thing of the past. In the UK, a series of projections, based on accelerating global emissions, found that the average coldest day would not drop below freezing point. Dr Lizzie Kendon, a senior Met Office scientist, told the BBC: “It could mean the end of sledging, snowmen and snowball fights… the overarching picture is warmer, wetter winters; hotter, drier summers.” She's described this as ‘a wake-up call'.随着气象条件的变化,我们可能会看到更多破纪录的气温,在某些地方,夏天会很热,冬天会很温和。这意味着对一些人来说,下雪的冬天可能会成为过去。在英国,基于全球排放加速的一系列预测发现,平均最冷日不会降至冰点以下。气象局高级科学家莉齐·肯登博士告诉 BBC:“这可能意味着雪橇、雪人和打雪仗的结束……总体情况是更温暖、更潮湿的冬天;夏天更热、更干燥。”她将此描述为“敲响警钟”。Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the obvious way to slow the rate of change in our climate. Some nations are promising to do this, but already we're experiencing less snowfall and fewer frosty mornings. And on a bigger scale, glaciers are melting. According to modelling by Aberystwyth University in the UK, up to 92% of glaciers in the Alps could be lost by the end of the century due to climate change. So, if you're lucky enough to be looking out on a winter wonderland, get outside and make the most of it before it melts.减少温室气体排放是减缓气候变化速度的明显方法。一些国家承诺这样做,但我们已经在经历更少的降雪和更少的霜冻早晨。在更大的范围内,冰川正在融化。根据英国阿伯里斯特威斯大学的模型,到本世纪末,由于气候变化,阿尔卑斯山多达 92% 的冰川可能会消失。所以,如果你有幸看到了一个冬季仙境,那就到外面去,在它融化之前充分利用它。词汇表icy grip 冰冷刺骨crisp 干冷的clement 温和的chilly 冷飕飕的heating 升温warmth 温暖temperature 温度climate warming 气候变暖meteorological conditions 气象条件record-breaking temperatures 破记录的气温scorching 灼热的,炎热的mild 温和的snowy 下雪的,多雪的global emissions 全球排放freezing point 冰点sledging 滑雪橇snowman 雪人snowball fight 打雪仗greenhouse gas emissions 温室气体排放snowfall 降雪frosty 霜冻的glacier 冰川melt 融化winter wonderland 冬日仙境
We are all aware of climate change and how it is threatening our planet. Industrialisation, our disposable culture and population growth are some of the reasons why we are seeing average temperatures rise and more extreme weather events. And scientists are finding more evidence that the situation is getting worse.我们都知道气候变化以及它如何威胁我们的星球。工业化、我们的一次性文化和人口增长是我们看到平均气温上升和更多极端天气事件的一些原因。科学家们正在发现更多证据表明情况正在恶化。The rise in global temperatures is the most important thing that experts analyse. They say keeping it below 1.5 centigrade will avoid the worst climate impacts. But The World Meteorological Organisation says there's a 20% possibility the critical mark will be broken in any one year before 2024 – and there's a 70% chance it will be broken in one or more months in those five years.全球气温上升是专家分析的最重要的事情。他们说将温度保持在 1.5 摄氏度以下将避免最严重的气候影响。但世界气象组织表示,在 2024 年之前的任何一年内,有 20% 的可能性会打破临界标记——在这五年内,有 70% 的可能性会在一个月或几个月内被打破。This isn't great news for the Arctic, where the impact will be greatest: warming by twice the global average this year. Temperatures in the Siberian Arctic reached record averages in June – one area reached more than 30C. This heat helped to fan wildfires, which in turn released 59 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. Meanwhile, in Western Europe, experts predict over the next five years rising sea levels will cause more storms.这对北极来说不是什么好消息,那里的影响将是最大的:今年的变暖幅度是全球平均水平的两倍。西伯利亚北极地区的气温在 6 月达到创纪录的平均水平——一个地区达到了 30 摄氏度以上。这种热量有助于引发野火,进而释放出 5900 万吨二氧化碳。与此同时,在西欧,专家预测未来五年海平面上升将引发更多风暴。But these events should not surprise us. Professor Martin Siegert from Imperial College London told the BBC this is “in line with predictions of global warming going back decades now. We don't really need further confirmation of this problem, but here it is anyway.” He thinks if you change the weather in the Arctic you are likely to see the effects ripple out around the world.但这些事件不应该让我们感到惊讶。伦敦帝国理工学院的 Martin Siegert 教授告诉 BBC,这“与几十年前全球变暖的预测一致。我们真的不需要进一步确认这个问题,但无论如何它就是这样。”他认为,如果你改变北极的天气,你很可能会看到影响波及全世界。We know that carbon emissions from human activities is partly to blame for our warming planet, but it seems measures to reduce this are not having much effect. The BBC's Justin Rowlatt writing about the effects of events in the Arctic, says: “Climate scientists simply don't know for certain what those effects are likely to be, but climate models suggest they will lead to more extreme weather events – heatwaves and severe storms.”我们知道,人类活动产生的碳排放是地球变暖的部分原因,但减少碳排放的措施似乎收效甚微。 BBC 的贾斯汀·罗拉特 (Justin Rowlatt) 在撰写有关北极事件影响的文章时说:“气候科学家根本无法确定这些影响可能是什么,但气候模型表明它们将导致更极端的天气事件——热浪和严重的风暴。”词汇表threaten 威胁planet 地球industrialisation 工业化disposable culture 一次性文化average temperature 平均温度extreme weather 极端天气global temperatures 全球气温centigrade 摄氏度climate impacts 气候变化的影响The World Meteorological Organisation 世界气象组织the Arctic 北极圈the Siberian Arctic 西伯利亚北极地区heat 热度,高温fan 引起,激起carbon dioxide 二氧化碳rising sea levels 海平面上升global warming 全球气候变暖ripple out 蔓延carbon emissions 碳排放heatwave 热浪,酷热期severe storm 强烈风暴

In this second episode of the methane miniseries, I speak to Professor Orjan Gustafsson from Stockholm University about his team's ongoing collaboration with the Russian research team, led by Professor Igor Semiletov, investigating the Siberian Arctic. Orjan has published over 80 research papers jointly with his Russian colleagues on their findings in the Russian Arctic over the course of more than a decade. In this episode, he highlights why understanding this region is among one of the most important research areas in climate change today. Despite the complexity of geopolitics that often infects peoples thinking in dealing with Russia, the opportunities for scientific collaboration in pursuit of critical knowledge can, in the long run, prove more beneficial than any short term political aims.

In this second part of the series about the Arctic I am talking with Jennifer Hynes about methane release in the Arctic and the exponential way it is accelerating. The last episode No. 21 in November 2017 has been about the melting Arctic Sea ice, especially the volume had a record low in 2017. The melting leads to an increasing temperature of the water. The permafrost is thawing and the outgasing of huge methane deposits has begun. Jennifer Hynes With Jennifer Hynes I have already talked about tipping points in the 8th episode in March 2016 and about a Blue Ocean Event one year ago. http://xwer.de/en/sag-002-tipping-points-climate-and-personal http://xwer.de/en/sag-008-blue-ocean-event Since Jennifer has published two videos, Methane Monster 1 and 2, she is one of the Arctic and methane experts. It’s still highly recommended to watch these introductions to abrupt climate change. Methane Monster II ~ Demise of the Arctic: https://jenniferhynes99.wordpress.com/methane-monster-ii-demise-of-the-arctic/ Methane Monster In 2017 Nick Breeze has published an interview with Shakhova and Semiletov.
