13. The Climate Acceleration Debate: Could 3°C Arrive by 2050? with Dr. Klaus Ritcher


Listen Later

In this episode we’re joined by Dr. Klaus Richter, physicist and President of the German Physical Society. Dr. Richter recently co-authored a joint statement with the German Meteorological Society that drew global attention, warning that the Earth could warm by as much as 3°C by 2050 if current trends continue.

The statement — and the DIE ZEIT article that followed — sparked widespread debate about how fast the climate is changing and how society should respond.
