Meanwhile...Global Warming Continues. The Catastrophes of 2020

"Paint me a picture of an improved world...what do - homes, cars, energy and food look like?"

Dr. Walter Robinson, Professor of Marine, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University & Frank Princiotta, EPA Director (retired) of Air Pollution & Prevention discuss why the earth is warming, the difference between climate change & drastic weather changes.

Dr. Robinson presents how the changes in our earth's climate intersects with public health with very specific examples - such as how the climate change is directly impacting human disease. With regard to racism & climate change - he presents both sides of how each influences the other in a downward spiral if a lack of attention and understanding of this experience is not realized.

Mr. Princiotta analyzes specific choices that could be made to reduce emissions in cars, energy production, human consumption, airplanes, and overall national consumption(s). He discusses specific markers for the future in 5 years and 10 years.

Regarding the 2020 uptick in natural disasters, the pandemic & the catastrophic increases in intensity of wild fires, hurricanes, flooding, tornados, & coastal/land erosions to water, these were agreed upon as symptoms of the greater "fever" of warming that the earth is exhibiting.

Both men present that the warming trends in place are likely to remain on their present trajectory, but discussed simultaneous hopeful indicators that if humans are successful in stimulating glasshouse emissions to go on a direct downward trend toward zero, some progress may be realized in the generations to come.
