A conversation with Peter Wadhams : Global Sea Levels

In the final part of our conversation with Peter Wadhams we talk about one of the most destructive outcomes of climate change - global sea level rises. We also look at the Camp Fire of California which was still raging at the time of making this video.

'Just have a think'...Keep doing it! Dr. Wadham is always on point.

How nice to see a discussion with Dr. Peter in the flesh!

I gotta say, I can actually appreciate Peter's cheeky chappy persona, on a practicality level, people listen and it is less exhausting being in the business of relaying the cold hard stuff if your just euphorically absent minded about the stark reality of dire outcomes. Its like a 'shoot me if you want, but I'm just the messenger (and an elderly messenger at that), besides your firearms are wonky anyway, see you keep shooting yourself in the foot', what goes around comes around

I accidentally stumbled upon this. Couldn't be happier.

Very interesting; I always thought the melting had a kind of thermal momentum. I would love to hear more on the details of that mechanism. I've always had a keen sense of thermodynamics, which explains my nearly half a century of extreme concern. Thanks for these talks!

Thank you for this enlightening interview.

most underrated video in the whole galaxy

Only some seem capable of having a think. The rest just make a stink.

If I'm not mistaken the Mt. Wilson observatory had a near miss with a wildfire in Sept 2020.

Crazy idea here....will methane end up concentrating in the upper atmosphere in a layer? If so, might we be able to set it on fire and convert it....like burning LP Gas?

Two things I would say and both could probably be explained away but here goes. I have direct knowledge of two precise measurable points, one in Florida and one in Portland. Both taking into account tidal variations, etc have had no discernible rise. Now there is more to levels than level, lol, but these are distinct locations and the time period is 20 years. Second I have seen recent reports from NG that the ice levels in Greenland have recently slowed and actually an ice increase. I realize these are only two distinct points and are largely unscientific but the first I am very certain of.

We’re at point we must be clear that this is absolutely catastrophic. Anything other than drastic mitigation is useless.

5:25 ....and they are building there roads higher 🙄😖
