Ocean Mechanical Thermal Energy Conversion
9:51 | Our oceans hold vast quantities of thermal and kinetic energy, thousands of times more than our entire civilisation requires for our current level of population.
Trump can’t believe his own eyes!
13:46 | The National Climate Assessment summarizes the impacts of climate change on the United States, now and in the future.
A conversation with Peter Wadhams 4:4: Global Sea Levels
11:44 | In the final part of our conversation with Peter Wadhams we talk about one of the most destructive outcomes of climate change – global sea level rises. We also look at the Camp Fire of California.
A conversation with Peter Wadhams 3:4: Oceans and Carbon Capture
10:22 | Professor Wadhams explains the thermohaline circulation, sometimes called The Ocean Conveyor Belt, and why it’s slow down means big trouble for many areas of the globe.
A conversation with Peter Wadhams 2:4: The Methane Threat
8:51 | Peter Wadhams explains the risks posed by huge methane emissions that are being caused by arctic ice loss, and we discuss the difficulties and frustrations faced by scientists trying to communicate climate issues to a wider public.
A conversation with Peter Wadhams 1:4 : Arctic Sea Ice Loss
11:05 | Peter Wadhams’ book, A Farewell to Ice, outlines in exquisite detail the changes in the arctic over the last four decades and the threats that these changes pose to our climate.
Hydrogen Fuel Cells – are they our future?
12:00 | Hydrogen fuel cells may appear to be another of these new green technologies but in fact they’ve been around for well over a century. So why aren’t all our vehicles already powered by Hydrogen?
EV Revolution
13:35 | With some projections suggesting renewable energy and electric vehicles may lose the fossil fuel industry as much as $21 TRILLION by 2040, the battle for the hearts and minds of millions of drivers has never been more critical.
The Modern Giants of Renewable Technology
11:41 | Solar Power grabs all the headlines but wind power is gaining traction as new technologies and materials allow machines of truly gargantuan proportions to be built out in our oceans.
Ocean Acidification : What’s the threat?
11:39 | We take a look at the basic scientific theory behind this phenomenon and look ahead to what it could mean for our oceans and food chain.
Arctic Ice Loss – why we should care
13:55 | The earth’s ecosystems are constantly and relentlessly shifting as a result of the carbon that the human species spews out every year. One of the most influential and potentially catastrophic of these systems is the sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean.
Palm Oil Plantations. Still plundering on?
11:21 | Palm oil, rainforests and Orang-utans – we’ve all read the news stories. But is the situation improving or is it business as usual in the plantations?
Oil Sands – has Nebraska broken the Keystone XL pipeline?
12:49 | Tar sands, AKA Oil Sands, extraction and processing releases 3 times as much Carbon Dioxide as traditional crude oil extraction.
Banks and Extreme Fossil Fuels – how to switch from the mean to the green
9:50 | Global banking finance for extreme fossil fuels like Tar Sands took a big dip as a result of the Paris Climate agreement in 2015, but since the start of 2017 it’s been rising quickly again.
Divestment – Is your money supporting the fossil fuel industry?
12:30 | Divestment out of Fossil Fuels is gaining momentum. Climate Change is an accepted fact but CO2 emissions are increasing each year. How can we accelerate the move away from fossil fuels? Divestment is the key.
Solar Power and Battery Storage
12:55 | Roof top solar power installations are becoming a truly viable option for domestic households as prices tumble. Here’s a step by step guide to how to get started and a bit of detail about the system I chose for my own home.
Geoengineering – can we suck the CO2 out?
13:34 | Geoengineering has really split the scientific community. Some believe we’ll be meddling even more with the balance of our biosphere without really understanding the consequences. Others believe we’ve got nothing to lose.
