Bagel Club - Climate Change Solutions with Warren Wiscombe

Sunday, October 9, 2022 14 Tishrei 5783

12:30 PM - 2:00 PM

Warren will review the global-warming-fighting strategies developed over the past two decades, with an emphasis on geoengineering and renewable energy since “emissions reduction” and “carbon capture and sequestration” are lagging even though important in the long run.  He will cover new ideas and developments since 2015, such as reforestation, and changes in agricultural and eating practices.  In the end, though, humanity will have to live sustainably by stepping back from overpopulating and overexploiting the Earth, or else experience a dystopian future well-augured in science fiction novels.

Dr. Warren Wiscombe had a 42-year career in climate science, from 1971 until retiring in 2013.  He worked at National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder for 6 years, and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for 30 years, with a stint as an NYU professor in between.  He was one of the founders of the DOE program called ARM (Atmospheric Radiation Measurements), which was, outside of NASA, the biggest climate program of the US government.  He was ARM's Chief Scientist for 5 years.  His core research was always in clouds and radiation but his interests spanned the entire climate field.
