#3-13 - Sea Level Rise, Nature-Based Solutions, and Politics of Climate Change - ft. Prof. Dr. Jochem Marotzke

In this episode, Bea continues her conversation with Prof. Dr. Jochem Marotzke, a managing director at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology.



Bea and Jochem discuss ocean warming, greenhouse effect, interplay between the ocean temperature and the currents, and how we can measure the energy that the ocean takes, mitigating the effects of climate change but causing the imminent rise of the sea level. They talk about some of the ways to combat and prepare for the sea level rise, including some nature-based solutions, as well as about the ways to prevent further rise by cutting the carbon emissions down to zero.



Jochem also talks about renewable energy, alternative energy sources, as well as the nuclear power and the price we pay for it, literally and through long-lasting consequences of its mismanagement.
