The Big Picture, Like It or Not (Repeat)
Dr. Tim Garrett, University of Utah Atmospheric Scientist
In “best of” Radio Ecoshock interviews, Dr. Tim Garrett says civilization must collapse to avert devastating climate change. Dr. Peter Ward says Nature may not have friendly plans for us. The first Garrett interview was recorded for Radio Ecoshock February 5, 2010. The second, introducing a new scientific paper partly inspired by our first conversation, was on the November 19, 2010 program. The Peter Ward interview is from October 16, 2009. Find my blog about this program, with more links and video, here. This program was rebroadcast by 100 non-profit radio stations on 3 continents in the week of July 3, 2019.

EXTREME HEAT #2: How it kills and who
Earth is heating faster than expected. Deadly heat in India, unheard-of heat in France and Alaska. The Arctic is thawing out. The U.S. East Coast is roasting over 100 degree F. Around the world, people have died and many more will be killed by heat in the future. But how does heat kill? and who? Three experts explain what we all need to know, in the second of my series on Extreme Heat: Elizabeth Hanna, Robert Kopp and Jonathan Patz. A new compilation from the best of Radio Ecoshock, broadcast July 17, 2019.

EXTREME HEAT #3 Who, What, Why
As warming ramps up, billions are suffering through extreme heat. Learn who, what, and why through our three scientists: from Hawaii, Camilo Mora, author of “27 Ways a Heat Wave Can Kill You”; from Australia Mat Santamouris on extreme urban hotspots and how to cool cities; and from Italy Simone Russo, the science of increasing heat waves across the world. A new compilation.

Rising Seas #2: Rolling Over Us
Sea level will go up all during your lifetime, and long, long after. The effects will be profound. In this show, the grand old man of coastal science Dr. Orrin Pilkey warns: start withdrawing from the coast-line now, or wait for the coming panic. Risk expert Bill McGuire explains how more water in the ocean can trigger earthquakes and tsunamis. NOAA scientist Richard Feeley talks ocean acidification.

The Climate Hammer: Rising Seas #3
The ocean will flow relentlessly inland on almost every coastline in the world. In this special Rising Seas #3, American oceanographer John Englander, author of “High Tide on Main Street” explains the great march inland of rising seas. Scientist Eelco Rohling says a sea level rise 3 meters – 10 feet – per century could happen. Texas scientist Pankaj Khanna shows the sea can rise many meters in a single century. A new collection.
