Earthfiles Podcast Episode 63 - Last Time Earth Without Ice 55 Million Years Ago

The climate research email scandal does not eliminate the fact that ice in the Arctic, Greenland, East and West Antarctica and mountain glaciers around the world continue to melt at accelerating rates. According to the United Nation’s Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Earth will warm up between 1.4 degrees Celsius and 5.8 degrees Celsius (roughly 2 degrees Fahrenheit to 10 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of this century. Professor Emeritus Geophysicist Henry Pollack, Ph.D., 2007 Nobel Peace Prize participant and author of 2009 A World Without Ice, discusses the impact of leaked emails scandal on December 2009 Copenhagen global climate conference and his perspective on Earth’s climate past, present and future.
