11:59 | Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a climate tipping point.
13:47 | Tune into this episode of Weathered to see where we’ve been in our race against the clock, where we’re going, and how the RCP scenarios can help us understand this story as well as our future on this planet.
9:40 | Hurricane Ian is the first major, landfalling hurricane of the 2022 season, and this has many scratching their heads. Does this cast doubt on the assumption that global warming will lead to bigger, stronger storms?
12:50 | The most consequential tipping point, when it comes to sea-level rise, is Thwaites Glacier, also known as the Doomsday glacier. We also take a look at how America’s most at-risk city, Miami, is already experiencing the effects of sea-level rise today.
9:26 | We asked six experts where the safest, or least risky, places will be to live in the United States as the climate changes and weather becomes more extreme.
8:59 | For decades we’ve been planting trees in hopes of reducing carbon pollution. But when it comes to carbon sequestration, have we actually been getting it all backward?
11:42 | We investigate how the planet naturally turns CO2 into stone over long periods of time, and how scientists and engineers are trying to speed up this process in hopes of capturing and storing atmospheric CO2.
13:36 | Methane is a molecule that causes a bit of a conundrum: On the one hand, it’s a fuel that burns cleaner than coal or oil. On the other hand, it’s a greenhouse gas that’s 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
9:29 | If Texas were a country it would be fifth in the world for wind energy generation. Take a trip through wind country with host Joe Hanson as he looks into why oil country is turning into wind country.
5:46 | Indigenous hunter and fisherman Jerry Ivanoff ventures from his home in Unalakleet, Alaska, to Nome to meet elders from other villages. In a major government report, they document radical changes in climate.
9:14 | Most of the 600 billion pounds of waste that Americans produce every year ends up in landfills. All that trash can have huge impacts on the environment. But modern landfills have found a new use for all that trash — they’re turning it into energy.
6:56 | Sea ice long protected coastal villages like Unalakleet, Alaska from devastating storms. But as it vanishes some residents there are relocating to the hills, including “Eskimo Ninja” Nick Hanson, who lost a training course he built with driftwood due to flooding.
7:37 | In the After the Ice series, elders from villages in the Bering Sea region of Alaska share with Terra their observations of their melting world, how they’re adapting, and their vision for an uncertain future.
11:41 | Why do we see so much extreme winter weather even as the climate warms?
