A Need To Read

Earth is a hothouse with Prof. Bill McGuire


Listen Later

Bill McGuire is a Professor Emeritus of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London, and a writer, who is regularly published in The Guardian, The Times, and The Observer. He is the author of many books, notably the newest, Hothouse Earth - an inhabitants guide, which is a look towards the future of our planet. 

 

 

In this podcast we discuss:

  • The impact of rising sea levels on the earth's crust, volcanos, coastal cities, and marine life
  • Humanity’s downward spiral due to the climate crisis  
  • Capitalism and climate change
  • And at the end, I chat about how I'm trying not to be sad all the time about what the future is looking likely to hold.
