My 2010 interview with Dr. Jonathan Patz on climate and health is here. You can download that 19 minute interview here. I talked with Dr. Patz again in November 2018 for the show “Climate Trouble Keeps on Coming“. Wiki summarizes: “Jonathan Patz is a professor and John P. Holton Chair of Health and the Environment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he also serves as Director of the Global Health Institute.”
Dr. Robert Kopp explains why humans die in heat waves, and why that will get worse as climate change develops. The program was “Sudden Heat”, posted by Radio Ecoshock June 24, 2015 and found here. Robert Kopp is an associate professor in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He’s Associate Director of the Rutgers Energy Institute. He was an author in the Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
