How is climate change impacting ice and our oceans? Why should we care about glaciers? & What actions can we do individually to help? To find out, I called Margaret Lindeman, a fourth-year PhD candidate at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

What is Geoengineering? Can scientists use technology advancements to save us from the devastating effects of climate change? To find out, I spoke with Geoengineering expert Dr. Kate Ricke, climate scientist and assistant professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego.

Why is climate change such a polarizing topic, and how can we fix it? Also, how is climate change connected to public health? What are our options for a better, healthier future? To find out, I spoke with Dr. Veerabhadran (Ram) Ramanathan, Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric and Climate Sciences at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

The ocean is so big, do we really need to worry about it? How could climate change actually impact the ocean? Also, are the COVID-19 shutdowns helping mitigate climate change?

What can we actually do about climate change? What are cities like San Diego already doing? To find out, I called sustainability expert Cody Hooven, the Director of the Sustainability Department and the first Chief Sustainability Officer for the city of San Diego.

The climate has changed before, so why are we worried now? How do we actually know climate change is “our fault?” To find out, I spoke to paleoenvironmental expert Dr. Jane Teranes, a teaching professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Climate change has become such a HOT topic, but what exactly is it? How is it different from weather and should we be worried? To find out, I talked to climate scientist Dr. Corey Gabriel, executive director of the climate science and policy master’s program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
