STORMS ACROSS US IN CLIMATE CHANGE CONTEXT-AUDIO

BACKGROUND BRIEFING - IAN MASTERS

Then we examine the catastrophic ice storm hitting the South in the context of increasingly extreme weather events happening across the globe. Peter Ward, a paleontologist who teaches biology and earth and space sciences at the University of Washington joins us. He has studied mass extinctions, almost all of which have been brought about by climate change, and his latest book is “The Flooded Earth: Our Future in a World Without Ice Caps” which we discuss along with the connections between extreme droughts in Australia, floods in England and ice storms in Atlanta, Georgia.
