Sea Changes: Why Oceans Play a Bigger Role in Climate Change Than You Think


Listen Later

Global temperatures would be soaring even higher were it not for a powerful heat-trapping ally: oceans. From regulating the temperature of the planet to generating half of the oxygen we breathe, oceans are a vital part of sustaining life on Earth. Increasing their temperature as little as two degrees, however, has an opposite effect, threatening marine biodiversity and turbocharging dangerous hurricanes and typhoons. But there are bright prospects on the horizon for humans and oceans. Join us for a conversation exploring how oceans play a bigger role in climate than you may think.
Guests:
Sara Aminzadeh, Commissioner, California Coastal Commission
Ken Caldeira, Climate Scientist, Carnegie Institution for Science, Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University
Daniela Fernandez, Founder and CEO, Sustainable Ocean Alliance
