In Episode 205 Gary looks at climate in a fascinating conversation with Richard Allan- a climate scientist and academic. They discuss the difference between climate and weather, why carbon is so important despite being such a small part of the atmosphere, why some climate scientists disagree about global warming and we hear his thoughts on carbon offsets and geoengineering.
Ever wanted to ask a climate scientist the questions about climate that nobody is asking? I do that for you
Guest Details:
Richard Allan is a professor of Climate Science at the University of Reading Department of Meteorology. His research is driven by the fundamental question: how much will Earth warm in the current century and what are the implications for the global water cycle, upon which societies and ecosystems depend? He uses Earth Observation data to explore fluctuations in clouds, water vapour, rainfall and the Earth's radiative energy balance and use this information to assess the realism of climate prediction models and improve our understanding of the climate system. He was a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th assessment report.
