THE CLIMATE PUZZLE: Prof. Steve Koonin Challenges the Norm

In this episode of the Let's Climunicate podcast, host Dr. Alberto Troccoli engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Professor Steve Koonin from Stanford University on climate change. They tackle pressing questions about the reality and reversibility of global warming, the complexity of climate science, and the rising carbon emissions. The conversation delves into Koonin’s career, including anecdotes about his interactions with Richard Feynman, and explores key topics like climate modelling, global dimming, and energy transition. While acknowledging the consensus that human activities contribute to global warming, Koonin questions the scale of its impact, emphasising the importance of considering economic growth and energy demands in climate discussions. The episode seeks to bridge differing perspectives on climate change and highlight the challenges and uncertainties in current climate science.
