Faster Than Forecast: Greenland Ice Collapse; Our Climate Undone / Jason Box
Renowned climate scientist and "ice maverick" Dr. Jason Box joins me to discuss the specific and broad implications of anthropogenic climate disruption. He cites nearly three decades worth of on-the-ground documentation of the impacts human industrial activity is having on the rapidly thawing Greenland ice sheet, written about extensively in his independently published book Faster Than Forecast: The Story Ice Tells Us About Climate Change.
