While it may seem far away, Andrew urges young people to realize it's not *that* far away. The effects of climate change will be within your lifetime and much of that change is already locked in. You need to get involved and help change things!
Extreme climate conditions come up naturally, like the dust bowl of the 1930s. But these are scary to look back on now as we're pushing climate in that direction as the norm.
Would you do that? Recommend that to someone you love? Well, that's what we're doing. We're sending our kids off on the raft....
Andrew urges us to get started and reduce our carbon emissions. But then also tell people about it! Inspire the people around you and give them an example to follow.
Listening to popular media you might think scientists are divided on climate change. But Andrew, like the other climate scientists we've interviewed, hasn't met another climate scientist who doesn't think climate change is real.
Young people, you need to be involved. You're the ones most affected. Don't leave it to people who don't have as much at stake.
Andrew urges us to at least start the conversation about our climate.
You can’t get much more direct than this – Andrew studies historical temperature records and plots the trends. Here's what he finds.
Appreciation of old information runs in the family. Andrew analyzes historical temperature data to understand long-term temperature trends. He explains what he finds…
Our water supplies are critical to us in so many ways. And scarcity is already a source of conflict in the world. As rainfall becomes increasingly variable and shifts where it comes, what will the effects be?
One of the biggest dangers is changes in rainfall patterns – where it rains, how often, and how intensely when it does rain. This can have great effects on aspects of life that we depend on. Here's a quick explanation...
Andrew shares how the everyday relevance and importance of the climate make it a fascinating area to study.
Meet Andy Rhines, a Postdoc at Harvard University. You might wonder how a self-described risk adverse person might choose climate science over being an actuary... but it's all about using the available information to make important decisions. And we are certainly faced with important decisions regarding our climate!
