Three researchers with personal experience of anxiety and depression triggered by studying the environmental destruction caused by a changing climate describe the steps they take to protect their mental health.Ruth Cerezo-Mota, a climate scientist based at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City, found herself grieving for the state of the planet through her work for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.Experiencing a panic attack at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a fear of checking emails and a sense of disengagement from work, led to her seeking professional help. “I was in a really dark place,” she tells Adam Levy. Retreating to a “happy place” that combines home, books, yoga, running, cats and wine is a key copying strategy when things get tough, she says.Similar experiences are recounted by Dave Reay, a climate scientist at the University of Edinburgh UK, and Daniel Gilford, a meteorologist who works at Climate Central, a science-led non-profit based in Princeton, New Jersey, that researches and reports the facts about climate change and its effects on peoples lives.Talking to other climate researchers and focusing on positive developments around climate change also helps, says Reay. Gilford, who is based in Orlando, Florida, likens climate change to being in the path of an approaching train: “I can see it coming with all of its weight and heaviness, and I'm screaming ‘Stop. Stop the train. Stop the train.'“By screaming, by saying what is happening, by naming the problem and telling people about it, I think that that can become a solution as well,” he says.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Dr. Genevieve Guenther, a former Renaissance scholar who turned to climate research and activism after having a child and becoming increasingly alarmed about the world her son could inherit after she died. Now an expert in climate communication, Dr. Guenther is the founding director of End Climate Silence. At End Climate Silence she directs strategy and outreach, helping journalists explain the links between global warming and extreme weather, headline the urgent findings of climate science, and foreground the role of climate breakdown in news about politics, energy, business and finance, immigration, real estate, health, travel, food, and even the arts. She is affiliate faculty at The New School, where she sits on the board of the Tishman Environment and Design Center. Dr. Guenther advises NGOs, corporations, and policymakers on fossil-fuel disinformation and climate communication, and she serves as Expert Reviewer for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Her recently released book, The Language of Climate Politics, is the focus of this episode, A groundbreaking investigation into the propaganda justifying the fossil-fuel economy, The Language of Climate Politics offers readers powerful new ways to talk about the climate crisis that will help create transformative change. In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. Ultimately, The Language of Climate Politics is an inspiring call to arms, a book that equips readers with powerful new terms that will enable them to fight more effectively for a livable future.Grab a copy of The Language of Climate Politics here, and follow Dr. Genevieve Guenther on Twitter here!

 Dr. Antonello Provenzale, Director of the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources at the National Research Council of Italy, discusses his recent book “History of Climate Change: From the Earth's Origins to the Anthropocene.”   Climate change is the number one challenge for the world. The rise in temperature of the last fifty years has been extremely fast, making it difficult for the environment to adapt to the new conditions. The expanding human population needs water, food, energy, and shelter to survive and flourish.  Humans need to reduce emissions drastically, re-naturalize the environment, stop the degradation of the soil and the extermination of and in the oceans.  The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned we should not exceed 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit in order to not tip into a dangerous melting phase. If we do not deal with this challenge now,  future natural disasters and costs will increase dramatically.  

Scientists warned that human-induced climate change is warming the planet to the point where it is causing irreversible damage in some parts of the world. The report was released by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Climate Scientist Katharine Hayhoe of The Nature Conservancy joined Amna Nawaz to look at what can be done to change the direction the planet is headed.

The contradictions and false predictions made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) should be glaringly obvious to anyone, explained Professor Emeritus of Physics at University of Connecticut Howard “Cork” Hayden in this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman at the Heartland Institute’s climate summit in Orlando. Dr. Hayden, who edits ... The post UN Seeks to “Reorient Entire World to Solve Non-Existent Problem,” Top Physicist Warns appeared first on The New American.

Lloyd's List Sponsored content in association with Orbit MI WEATHER has always mattered for shipping; it will matter even more as the climate changes. The 2021 report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated that it is “unequivocal” that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land. Disruptive weather events impact all sectors of the supply chain. For shipping, it is becoming imperative to understand what lies over the horizon weather-wise, and to leverage that information to make smart decisions. There has been a tremendous improvement in the accuracy of weather forecasts over the past decade, progress that has run in parallel with the functionality of maritime software. The need now is for operational data and weather data to combine to inform decision-making at every level of maritime business — especially in pursuit of decarbonisation and safety goals. Industries and businesses embrace digital technology at different speeds, however all software providers are looking to present complex information in a way that's easily understandable and makes a significant and valuable impact, whatever the customer's specific need. Towards the end of 2022, OrbitMI, the vessel performance software specialists, launched an integration with weather analytics experts DTN to upgrade weather-optimised voyage routeing. The Orbit Weather+ digital solution, powered by DTN marine weather APIs, has been implemented fleet-wide by Stena Bulk, with several pilots underway at other companies. The solution aims to find the smartest, safest, and most fuel-efficient route using AI-based machine learning to analyse constantly updated weather data fed into the Orbit VPM system through DTN APIs. Renny Vandewege is a meteorologist now focusing his attention on the impact of weather events on businesses across agriculture, aviation, utilities, and maritime. As vice-president, global commercial at DTN, he understands why shipping has been slow to merge weather data into the broader suite of cloud-based software. “Weather is just there; you feel you can't control it — which is unfortunately true. But we are learning that as we get more data sets, we can see both weather and the ocean impacts of weather more clearly,” Mr Vandewege tells Chief Correspondent Richard Clayton on this podcast. David Levy, chief marketing officer at OrbitMI, says the top request from customers has been for weather data to be incorporated into optimisation software. “The question is how can we take advantage of all the weather data that's out there?” Mr Levy asks. “There are many services and there's no shortage of weather data. We had to augment what we already have in our platform, and that's how we started to work with DTN.” This podcast addresses the reasons why weather should no longer remain in its silo, why weather data must be seen as an integral element in smart maritime decision-making, and how an understanding of climate change-influenced rougher seas, changing wave periods, more precipitation events, and more powerful hurricanes will impact shipping's decarbonisation journey.

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. At the COP27 climate talks here in Egypt, a key focus is how to help poorer, more vulnerable nations cope with increasingly extreme weather events that threaten their homes, their jobs and the food they grow.  Adapting to climate impacts has become an urgent need for billions of people around the globe, yet the money to help them is a fraction of what's needed.  Wealthy nations are under pressure at COP27 to give more climate cash since they are most responsible for the emissions that are making the world's weather more dangerous. And few places are more vulnerable to climate impacts than Africa.  In this episode, ST's climate change editor David Fogarty speaks with Dr Debra Roberts, a leading scientist with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and a global expert on adaptation and urban resilience. Dr Roberts is also head of the Sustainable and Resilient City Initiatives Unit in Durban, South Africa.  Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:43 Why has adapting to climate change become so important? 3:19 “Africa's biggest adaptation need is basic development” 6:09 Why is it important to also look at how nature is being affected by climate change? 11:58 Is it possible to make cities climate-proof? 14:39 Is there a limit to adapting to climate change?

Within the lifetime of anyone born at the start of the Baby Boom, the human population has tripled. In the 1960s, humans took about three-quarters of what the planet could regenerate annually. By 2016 this rose to 170 percent, meaning that the planet cannot keep up with human demand, and we are running the world down. Humans have altered about 70 percent of Earth's land surface and ocean. Wetlands have lost 85 percent of their natural area; the ocean's large predatory fish are two-thirds gone; coral reefs have lost half their living mass. Agriculture has halved the weight of living vegetation on land, driving a diversity loss of 20 percent; 40 percent of extant plants are currently endangered. The world's wild populations of birds, mammals, fishes, reptiles, and amphibians have declined by an average of nearly 70 percent in just the last 50 years, a breathtaking plummet. More than 700 species have gone extinct over the last 500 years, an extinction rate 15 times the natural rate. These disruptions and declines have caused the deterioration of soil, air, and water quality; pollination; carbon sequestration; and human health. Other things have increased: floods, fires, the number of malnourished people, plastic pollution, general, toxification and infectious epidemics. Fossil fuels, which fuel many if not most of our climate change issues, presently enable most consumption; they're the source of 85 percent of commercial energy – and this must change.

Climate Change in Indiana by WFHB Environmental Affairs Correspondent Nathaniel Weinzapfel Introduction: In 2022, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change announced that urgent steps were needed to be taken in order to limit the warming of the planet to under 1.5 degrees Celsius, which would require an immediate reduction in greenhouse gas emissions …

A report published by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows a world on track to push past the 1.5 degrees Celsius mark. While the IPCC is calling on political leaders to act on a national and international scale, the report authors said that work at the local level is also critical. In recent years, there's been a shift in perspective on who is truly responsible for the sweeping changes needed to limit emissions. Meanwhile, young people are in the forefront of climate activism. Their networks span countries and continents for one goal – saving the future. Plus, San Diego researchers working to stave off the worst impacts of global warming are looking for answers in the region's wetlands. Cattails could be part of the answer. And, California state air regulators put forth a bold proposal to move the state away from gasoline powered cars to a greener future- one led by electric vehicles. Finally, participating in clean-ups and trash pickups are always popular around this time of year as Earth Day makes people more conscious than ever about the necessity of caring for the environment. But where does the trash end up? Big questions remain about our landfills and if recycling is working.

In this episode, Ilham sits down with top climatologist Jean-Pascal van Ypersele to discuss the important role businesses can play in the fight against climate change, the latest IPCC science, how businesses can best adopt the SDG goals, the risk of greenwashing, his passion for science, and much more!Jean-Pascal is a professor of Climate and Environmental Sciences, and Co-Director of the Specialized Master in Science and Management of the Environment at the Université Catholique de Louvain. He is also the former Vice-Chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the second part of its sixth assessment report on the state of the climate recently. The latest report has for the first time assessed the regional effect of climate change. According to the assessment, several big cities of the world are at risk. To add to the mix, the energy demand in Southeast Asia is expected to increase by 60% by 2040, in line with the region's rapid economic growth, led by increasing industrial activities, growing population, and rising incomes. Governments are putting in measures previously such as reducing carbon emissions across the region, but do these measures go far - and fast - enough? We speak with Thomas Baudlot, CEO Energy Solutions APAC & Southeast Asia Head of ENGIE about how organisations can adopt better green measures and sustainable business practices.

Guest: Alex Ballingall, Ottawa Bureau The latest report released by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been damning. It's now or never, as scientists warn the world must cap global greenhouse emissions or risk irreversible damage and the worst effects of climate change. Ottawa has now unveiled an ambitious new $9.1 billion road map to meet Canada's climate targets by 2030. Star reporter Alex Ballingall explains what it's all about and whether it is enough to rise up to the climate challenge. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Matthew Hearn

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said digital technologies can contribute to the fight to stop climate change. Leigh McGowran from Silicon Republic details some of the apps and tech tools that are available to help us manage our everyday energy usage and reduce our carbon footprint.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson became the first Black woman to be confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice on Thursday, and the first former public defender to sit on the high court. Three Republicans crossed party lines to support her, including Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a new report this week saying that global emissions need to peak by 2025 at the latest in order to have a chance of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. Amy Westervelt, an investigative climate journalist and co-host of Crooked's “Hot Take,” joins us to discuss these findings and what they mean. And in headlines: The trial in the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be relocated from Turkey to Saudi Arabia, nearly 500,000 people are without electricity in Puerto Rico, and Alabama's state legislature approved a bill to criminalize gender-affirming medical care for trans youth.

The third and final report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 6th assessment cycle was published earlier this week. Part 3 finds that, despite warnings, emissions have continued to rise in the last decade, and that only severe cuts will allow the world to avoid climate extremes. In this week's edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to UCT professor Brett Cohen, one the lead authors of the latest report, about the finding. Cohen is also one of the directors of The Green House, a sustainability consultancy.

Every six to eight years the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, undertakes a massive review of the latest science around climate change. Right now, we are near the end of one of these cycles of scientific review.  My guest today, Ryan Hobert, is the managing director of the United Nations Foundations climate and environment team. We kick off discussing the process behind these IPCC reports before diving deep into some of the specific findings of the latest report, released Monday.  

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change laid out its latest report Monday stressing the critical need to implement dramatic cuts in greenhouse gasses to head off the worst impacts of climate change.

On 28 February, the IPCC, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,launched the second part of its Sixth Assessment Report. This part assesses the impacts ofclimate change, looking at ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities at global andregional levels. It also reviews vulnerabilities and the capacities and limits of the naturalworld and human societies to adapt to climate change.One of the main conclusions of the report is that climate adaptation is proceeding too slowlyand that measures are being implemented on too small a scale to address the major climatechallenges we face.In this episode, we discuss the findings of the report, and the work behind it, with PRIOResearch Professor Halvard Buhaug, who is a lead author in the Sixth Assessment Report.

In this week's edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Gina Ziervogel, Associate Professor in Environmental and Geographical Sciences at UCT. She's lead author of the chapter on cities, settlements, and key infrastructure, in a new report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was published on Monday. It says both humans and nature are being pushed beyond their ability to adapt, and that any further delay in global action to mitigate climate change will result in the world missing the 'the brief and rapidly closing window' to secure a liveable future.

*) Moscow, Kiev plan 'second round' of conflict talks Negotiators from Ukraine and Russia will return to their capital cities for consultations and have plans for fresh talks, both sides announced after the initial talks. "The delegations are returning to their capitals for consultations and have discussed the possibility of meeting for a second round … soon," a Ukrainian negotiator said. "We agreed to keep the negotiations going," the head of the Russian delegation added. *) Dozens of Ukraine soldiers killed, Russian military convoy grows More than 70 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed after Russian artillery hit a military base in Okhtyrka, a city between Kharkiv and Kiev, a Ukrainian official said. The official later added that many Russian soldiers and some local residents were also killed during the fighting. Satellite images from Maxar Technologies showed a Russian military convoy north of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev that stretches for about 64 km. The Maxar photos also showed deployments of ground forces and ground attack helicopter units in southern Belarus. Meanwhile, Ukraine called for a no-fly zone for Russian aircrafts, which was rejected by the US as a step that could lead to a war between Moscow and Washington. *) Nearly half of humanity is living in danger due to climate crisis A latest report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has shown that “nearly half of humanity is living in the danger zone now". People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit by the climate crises, scientists said in the UN report. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres commented that the "IPCC report is an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership”. *) Burkina Faso junta chief orders three-year transition Burkina Faso's junta chief Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba has signed a charter setting a three-year transition period before the country holds elections. "The duration of the transition is set at 36 months from the date of the inauguration of the president," according to the transition charter. The charter comes just over a month after Damiba led a coup to overthrow the country's elected leader Roch Marc Christian Kabore. *) Disney, Sony Pictures halt film releases in Russia Disney and Sony Pictures have suspended the release of their films in theatres in Russia after Moscow's assault on Ukraine, the companies announced separately. Upcoming titles "Turning Red" from Pixar and "Morbius" from Sony Pictures are included in the decision. The move follows the example of other major firms choosing to pull out of the country since President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion into Ukraine last week.

In 2015, delegates from 196 nations entered into the legally binding treaty on climate change known as the Paris Agreement, which set a goal of limiting global warming to “well below 2 and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels.” Yet in August of this year, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a new assessment report that starkly illustrated the world's collective failure to meet that target. Delegates from across the globe have just met in Glasgow for the international climate summit known as COP26, with the hope of strengthening commitments to keep emissions targets at that 1.5 degree level.  After two weeks of negotiations, presentations and protests in Glasgow, COP26 is a wrap. This week we discuss what was achieved - and what wasn't - at the summit.  For transcripts and other information, visit: https://www.climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts  Guests: Vanessa Nakate, Ugandan climate activist Jiang Lin, Adjunct Professor, University of California Berkeley Albert Cheung, Head of Global Analysis, Bloomberg New Energy Finance Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dixie fire is now the largest single wildfire in California history. At more than 600,000 acres, it's been burning in Northern California for over a month and has destroyed more than 500 homes in areas that never imagined wildfires to be a year-round risk.That inferno continues at the same time that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released its bleakest report yet, saying: “It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land.”Today, we welcome our good-natured Masters of Disasters — L.A. Times earthquake reporter Ron Lin, coastal reporter Rosanna Xia and wildfire reporter Alex Wigglesworth — to make sense of these dark and hot times.More reading:Dixie fire generates fire whirl, pyrocumulonimbus cloud at 40,000 feetPG&E power line suspected in Dixie fire was set to be buried underground in safety moveCalifornia builds a ‘Noah's Ark' to protect wildlife from extinction by fire and heat

EPISODE 8: Thinking Big. How Government and Markets Can Work Together on Climate Solutions. Climate change is a complicated web of science, politics, technology, economy, and controversy. Where do we begin in building a solution? In this Episode: A discussion with Dr. Zeke Hausfather about realistic greenhouse gas emissions trajectories. The challenges of predicting human behavior. Can we rely on markets and companies to innovate ourselves into a net zero economy? Where does the government fit in? Dr. Hausfather's take on the role of carbon emissions capture technology. Episode Links: Zeke on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hausfath Carbon Brief: https://www.carbonbrief.org/ The Breakthrough Institute: https://thebreakthrough.org/ Welcome back to another episode of Climatrends. I'm meteorologist Susie Martin. At the time we've recorded this, news of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reaching levels 50% higher than during the industrial revolution hit the headlines. This is according to measurements from the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii… https://www.carbonbrief.org/met-office-atmospheric-co2-now-hitting-50-higher-than-pre-industrial-levels The data is clear. This is an urgent matter and unfortunately, there is no quick solution to the climate crisis. Climate change is a complicated web of science, politics, technology, economy, and controversy. With oil as the lubricant of the global economy, how can we reduce our dependence on fossil fuels? Coal supplies roughly half of the electricity used in the U.S. and nearly that worldwide. Then there's the matter of infrastructure. Approximately 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from infrastructure construction and operations such as power plants, buildings, and transport. There are layers upon layers upon layers to this. There are two main players to the solution: the government and markets. There is a growing expectation that your company be not only prepared to handle the business implications of physical and transitional risks associated with climate change, but also do your part to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. It's tricky because this is a moving target as policies shift and new science emerges. Our goal with the podcast is to have meaningful discussions with true experts with a business lens and peel the layers. I'm particularly excited about our guest today. We're going to be discussing the complicated dynamics of climate change and what this means for businesses. What technologies may be part of the solution? What is the role of government? How is this going to affect markets? One thing is for sure: going into this blindly is a dangerous proposition for your business. Note that in this episode, we mention the IPCC AR5 report. For those that don't know, it is the Fifth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was released in 2014. We also briefly discuss RCP scenarios that were used in the IPCC AR5. RCP stands for representative concentration pathway. The RCP scenarios are an attempt to predict future greenhouse gas emissions trajectories based on human behavior. The four RCPs range from very high (RCP 8.5) to very low (RCP 2.6) future concentrations. Without further delay… let's begin.

Climate change is one of the most contentious issues of our time, leaving many Christians unsure of how they should view climate change. A key issue of concern at the Christian Research Institute is discernment, which is precisely why Hank wanted to have a conversation with Dr. Patrick Michaels to encourage Christians to critically consider how they view climate change. Dr. Michaels is a leading climatologist, who was a contributing author and reviewer of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. We hope that this conversation helps you to better understand this highly controversial and politicized issue.. Click here to see Hank's writings on this topic. https://www.equip.org/article/how-should-christians-think-about-global-warming/ Topics discussed include: why is the government involved in scientific issues, and what happens when science gets politicized? (6:00); are CO2 emissions always bad? (8:15); the social cost of carbon, and asking if there is a social benefit to carbon emission? (10:10); isn't the climate always changing? (12:10); how should we process alarmist narratives pushed by politicians regarding climate change? (14:45); the economic impact of climate change initiatives (16:55); how reliable are the computer models that predict climate patterns? (18:55); the political abuse of the global-warming narrative (21:40); the virtue signaling of global warming and the role it plays in a modern secular religion (24:45); do global warming initiatives harm the poor? (26:00); the problem with consensus science (27:00); which of the many climate models is best at predicting climate patterns? (29:20); Patrick Michaels taking a stand against climate change consensus because science has always progressed by people going against the consensus (32:10); is it really time to panic about climate change? (34:20); how can people read the news stories about climate change with a critical mind? (38:20); is the Earth warming, and if it is, what should we do about it? (39:15); why Patrick Michaels believes that the Paris Climate Accord is a joke (43:35); is global warming actually bad? (46:40); should nuclear fission be viewed as an alternative energy source? (48:00); Patrick Michaels on his upcoming book Scientocracy: The Tangled Web of Public Science and Public Policy (50:05); and are people developing apocalypse fatigue? (53:40).

Listen NowIn mid-January the CDC abruptly canceled a three-day "Climate and Health Summit" the Center had been planning for months.  The meeting was intended to discuss public health risks caused by the climate crisis and steps being taken to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases or its adverse consequences on human health.   (It was speculated the meeting was canceled because the CDC did not want to run afoul of the incoming president who has repeatedly called climate change a “hoax” perpetrated by the Chinese.)   The American Public Health Association (APHA) and others however went ahead and held a one-day meeting on February 16 titled,"Climate and Health" at the Carter Center in Atlanta.  The meeting was keynoted by former Vice President Al Gore.   Dr. Jonathan Patz, the Director of the Global Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was one of the meeting's organizers and participants.    During this 24 minute conversation Dr. Patz discusses how the meeting came about and what was accomplished, e.g., he summarizes the afternoon's panels that discussed what's being done to reduce green house gas emissions.  He also discussed how to better involve the professional medical community  and how to effectively communicate the reality of the climate crisis. Dr. Jonathan Patz is the Director of the Global Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  He is a professor and the John P. Holton Chair in Health and the Environment with appointments in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and the Department of Population Health Sciences.  For 15 years, Dr. Patz served as a lead author for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (or IPCC)—the organization that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore.  He also co-­chaired the health expert panel of the U.S. National Assessment on Climate Change, a report mandated by the Congress.  Dr. Patz has written over 90 peer-reviewed articles, a textbook addressing the health  the health effects of global environmental change and co-edited the five volume Encyclopedia of Environmental Health (2011).  He has been invited to brief both houses of Congress and has served on several scientific committees of the National Academy of Sciences.  Dr. Patz served as Founding President of the International Association for Ecology and Health.  He is double board-­certified, earning medical boards in both Occupational/Environmental Medicine and Family Medicine.  He received his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University (1987) and his Master of Public Health degree (1992) from Johns Hopkins University.A webcast of the February 16 meeting is at: https://www.climaterealityproject.org/health.  Listeners are particularly encouraged to listen to Vice President Gore's 30 minute keynote address.  For more information concerning the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health go to: https://medsocietiesforclimatehealth.org/.Since I mention during the discussion the Obama administration's 2016 "The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the US: A Scientific Assessment," a review of the paper is, again, at: http://altarum.org/health-policy-blog/nature-bats-last-a-warming-earth-will-exact-adverse-health-effects-but-our-responsibilities-are.    This is a public episode.

CLIMATE CHANGERichard welcomes a one of the world's leading sceptic climatologists - Dr. Timothy Ball -who presents evidence as to why the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is nothing more and nothing less than a politically contrived organization.PART TWO - WHERE IS FLIGHT MH370Richard speaks with a former commercial pilot - Nelson Thall - about the various rumours and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight No. 370.

According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC), Global Sea Level is rising at an alarming rate, threatening millions who live in coastal regions and islands around the world, thanks to the global-warming activities of human beings on planet Earth. To challenge these claims, we are joined by Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner, former Expert Reviewer for the IPCC, and erstwhile Head of Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics at the University of Stockholm in Sweden, whose research into sea levels around the globe paints a very different picture.
