From Germany, Dr. Anders Levermann from the Potsdam Institute joins us. From Australia, Dr. Mat Santamouris reveals shocking heat levels in cities and how to cool them. From Cambridge University, Dr. Laura Diaz Anadon warns politicized science endangers us all. 3 interviews (repeat).

I needed this time to develop two special programs for you. The first explores “repairing the atmosphere” by removing methane until pre-industrial levels are reached. Why? Methane removal might be the only technology to delay impending tipping points, while reducing warming. Stanford Professor Rob Jackson explains. Then Daphne Wysham from Methane Action joins us. Daphne is a veteran climate activist, influential green mover and shaker, and long time host of Earthbeat Radio on the Pacifica Network.
The second show shines a light on two scary processes already underway: the interaction of tipping points (will they cascade?) with Dr. Nico Wunderling at PIK, Germany. Then – what is escaping from thawing permafrost as the Arctic warms four times more than the global average? Could the next pandemic come not from the tropics, but the frozen past? Dr. Kimberley Miner returns to Radio Ecoshock with more news from the changing North.
Tune in! And thank you everyone for helping to keep Radio Ecoshock alive with your donation or membership. You are the power to keep this science and activism rolling.
