  • How Melting Ice Sheets Are Drowning The World

    How Melting Ice Sheets Are Drowning The World
    2025/08/01
    CLIMATE HOUR – Sea level rise may be climate change’s biggest long-term impact. With just today’s 1.2 degree Celsius increase in global temperature, we can expect sea level rise of at least 1-2 meters (3.3-6.6 feet). And that’s our best case scenario. If countries continue to ignore the Paris Climate Accord and temperatures rise 2.5 degrees Celsius, we can expect the collapse of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. And that will raise sea level 10-12 meters (40 feet). We’re seeing the affects now. Many of the major roads in the Florida Keys will be underwater this year. Cities like Miami, New Orleans, Bangkok, Amsterdam, Ho Chi Minh City, and Kolkata India, are going to be submerged by 2030. The countries most exposed to rising sea levels are the United States, followed by China, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Thailand, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. In our best case scenario, we can expect a trillion dollars a year in global flood damage. And a quarter-billion people looking for new homes. If we continue to ignore the Paris Climate Accord and warm the planet 2.5 degrees Celsius, we’ll displace over a billion people. That’s 13% of the world’s urban population looking for new homes, food and jobs. The worst case scenario is that we throw caution to the wind. That we revert to full dependence on fossil fuels and melt ALL the world’s ice. That will raise sea levels 60-70 meters (200-233 feet). But at the point, sea level may be the least of our problems.

  • Reasons For Climate Denialism: How To Speak The Truth

    Reasons For Climate Denialism: How To Speak The Truth
    2025/07/01
    CLIMATE HOUR – Climate issues are clearly on everyone’s minds. The constant weather disasters, disruption of our food systems, sea level threats to coastal communities. Yet in the face of what we see every time we open our front doors, climate denialism continues to flourish. People continue to deny that the climate is changing or that our lifestyle choices are contributing to that change. And there’s plenty of disinformation to help the deniers. Scientists in the oil & gas industry were accurately predicting today’s global warming issues as far back as the 1950s. And the petroleum industry spent millions of dollars to deny their own climate research and to reposition global warming as a theory, not a science-based fact. In 2022, they spent over a quarter billion dollars on U.S. media, lobbying and political campaigns to deny accepted climate science. That’s a lot of money paying for a lot of climate disinformation. So, how do we talk about climate issues with friends and family who are constantly exposed to this disinformation? How do we understand and constructively speak truth to climate deniers? Join host, Bob Grove, and guests to discuss the Reasons For Climate Denialism: How To Speak The Truth.

  • Volcanoes and Rocks: This Is The Ultimate Hard Climate Science

    Volcanoes and Rocks: This Is The Ultimate Hard Climate Science
    2025/06/01
    CLIMATE HOUR – The study of volcanoes and rocks help scientists chart our planet’s history of warming and cooling. These studies provide quantifiable data that is accurate, objective, and results in a high degree of consensus among scientific communities. Consensus among geologists who study our planet’s rocks and the minerals and processes that shape and form them. Consensus among geomorphologists who study our planet's surface, why landscapes look the way they do, and how they evolved. And consensus among volcanologists who study the lava and magma beneath our planet’s surface. Together, these hard sciences provide solid data that leads to testable climate science predictions. But, perhaps more importantly, the study of volcanoes and rocks give us a baseline for comparison to today’s accelerated period of climate change. And current rates of volcanic and geomorphic change may help our scientists predict and prepare us for the climate change coming down the road. Join host, Bob Grove, and guests to discuss the study of Volcanoes and Rocks, climate’s ultimate hard science.
