In this Climate Chat episode, we interview returning guest René van Westen on his latest Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) research, including his research that shows the recent sudden shift of the Gulf Stream is an indication of pending AMOC collapse. Dr. Westen is a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. René is the author of a number of recent scientific papers on AMOC including the following: Abrupt Gulf Stream path changes are a precursor to a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12945690/ Substantial Risk of 21st Century AMOC Tipping even under Moderate Climate Change: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.19909 Collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in a Strongly Eddying Ocean-Only Model https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2024GL114532 Deep Learning based reconstructions of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation confirm twenty-first century decline: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/add7f0/meta Changing European Hydroclimate under a Collapsed AMOC in the Community Earth System Model (preprint): https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2025/egusphere-2025-1440/ View our previous Climate Chat interviews with Dr. Westen (highly recommended!): AMOC Collapse Research Update with René van Westen https://youtube.com/live/cBaRscaCBHU AMOC Collapse: Timing & Impacts, with Climate Scientist René van Westen https://youtube.com/live/xwcXF3TyWS8 René's home page: https://www.uu.nl/staff/RMvanWesten ----------------------------- Link to the Climate Chat Solar-Geoengineering Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLep9tQgCqjCoWPp-16Oxhjt9QPvtynzql Link to the Climate Chat AMOC Collapse Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLep9tQgCqjCofocBV9zwIX6DIsCGtYIzr Please Like and Subscribe!

In this Climate Chat episode, host Dan Miller discusses the reasons that humanity is failing to seriously address the existential climate crisis. While climate science clearly indicates that we must act urgently and dramatically, and cost-effective climate and energy solutions are available, we continue to "choose to fail."

In this Climate Chat episode, we interview climate scientist Francisco Estrada about his recent paper assessing the risks of "Termination Shock" following the implementation of Solar Radiation Management (SRM, a.k.a., solar-geoengineering). Termination Shock is a rapid, severe warming spike that would occur if SRM were suddenly stopped, because accumulated greenhouse gases would heat the planet all at once instead of being masked. Francisco Estrada is a researcher at the Department of Environmental Economics, Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He also works in the Climate Change research group at the Center for Atmospheric Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). His PhD work centered on developing a new global Stochastic Integrated Assessment Model. He obtained a MSc on Risk Management from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM). He was a contributing author for the Working Group II of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report and he has been selected as expert reviewer for the Working Group II contribution for the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report. He has participated and coordinated research projects on the assessment of the potential impacts of climate change in agriculture, the economics of climate change and also on the generation of regional climate change scenarios. His recent paper is "Economic assessment of SRM under socio-political and geophysical tipping dynamics": https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2752-5295/ae33df An article about the paper appeared in New Scientist magazine: "Termination shock could make the cost of climate damage even higher": https://www.newscientist.com/article/2513124-termination-shock-could-make-the-cost-of-climate-damage-even-higher/ Follow Francisco on X/Twitter: @festradaCCA Climate Chat SRM/Solar-Geoengineering Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLep9tQgCqjCoWPp-16Oxhjt9QPvtynzql Climate Chat programs are available here: https://www.youtube.com/@climatechat/streams Please Like and Subscribe!

In this Climate Chat episode, we interview glaciologist and climate scientist Eric Rignot about the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica (a.k.a., the Doomsday Glacier), the broader West Antarctic Ice Shelf (WAIS), Greenland, and their impact on sea level rise. Professor Rignot is a world-renowned glaciologist who studies the effects of global climate change on polar ice sheets. He uses satellites, airborne sensors, field data and numerical models to understand the dynamics of glacier ice along the coasts of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets as well as in Alaska and Patagonia. His research has documented major acceleration of ice loss as a result of climate change, and has been widely covered by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, BBC, CNN, National Geographic and many others.
