This episode mentions the IPCC report in regards to the importance of keeping the average global temperature at 1.5c° or lower. We discuss how there will likely be a temporary rise above this level due to an El Nino that is in the process of developing. It should be pointed out that since this rise will only be temporary it likely will not pose the threat that the IPCC mentions will happen. We discuss how and why greenhouse gasses are increasing at least a double rate in Alaska and how this is connected to the permafrost. We discuss how the impact that global warming will have on the many places in the world is not clear. For example it is possible that while storms will be more potent it is possible that dust will decrease the number of storms. The quick pace of the warming arctic might also decrease the number of storms based upon the way this interacts with the jet stream. We also mention that there are different opinions on this. Rising sea levels are therefore the greatest threat to humanity in most likelihood.
We discuss the significant role trees and soil have in regards to reducing greenhouse gasses. We discuss a very unique tropical storm that formed in the upper latitudes in mid January and the possibility of tropical storm development within the next 2 or 3 weeks according to AccuWeather.
