The Climate Show Cryosphere Special

Gareth Renowden of the Hot Topic blog was so kind as to inform us that the latest episode of the excellent Climate Show (which IMO will be, very soon and without a doubt, a very popular and useful resource for people who want to have up-to-date information on climate change) is all about the cryosphere!

I haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure it is very interesting. Here's a summary for this episode 7:

Highlight of this week’s show is a fascinating — and sobering — interview with Greenland expert Professor Jason Box [blog]. His perspective on current events in the Arctic — from the dangers of permafrost methane, through rapid warming over Greenland and the potential impacts on sea level is essential listening and viewing. And he can surf, too. Glenn and Gareth discuss warm weather in New Zealand during a La Niña summer, drought in the Amazon and the complex interactions between climate and weather extremes, food production and political stability. John Cook from Skeptical Science debunks the favourite sceptic arguments about ice at both poles, and in the solutions segment we discuss the recent WWF report on renewable energy, and the new all-electric Porsche Boxster.

 

 

On the Climate Show website you can also listen to or download a podcast of the show, and subscribe to the podcast via iTunes.

Thank you, Gareth Renowden, Glenn Williams, John Cook and others for your show. It's an excellent way to while my hibernating time.

Nothing to do with ice, but just FYI:

I see this Tweet from Gareth of The Climate Show who lives not far from Christchurch:

"M6.3 quake hits ChCh @publicaddress: The Cathedral tower is gone: http://t.co/FHd5o9g #eqnz (Hot Topic & family OK) about 5 hours ago"

Terrible damage & loss of life in Christchurch this time, they already had a 7.1 quake last September. See live news coverage here:

Clare, safely in the North Island

Thanks for that, Clare. I wasn't aware.

Hi Neven,

FYI Hot stuff has an update up about the earthquake. They and their families are okay, but everybody is deeply traumatised.

Best wishes, guys, if you read this. Love your work. Hope you get the chance to rejoin the conversation soon.
