#Hurricanes are a yearly occurrence, but as the oceans heat, they bring more powerful winds and waves, as well as more intense rain. According to NASA, a hurricane can expend as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs. As #OceanCurrents are altered by climate change, the path of these storms is less predictable, and they can come one on top of another as we have seen in the last decade. #PaulBeckwith explains what we can expect as the climate crisis worsens.

(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) We are now at a point in the United States in which, in a range of areas, evidence-based policy making no longer enjoys the degree of even rhetorical support that it once did. Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at NYU, reviews the history that led to the Paris Agreement and explores the strengths, weaknesses, successes, and failures of the evidence-based approach to ask how we might make progress on climate change in the years ahead.

The energy transition from fossil fuels to electricity, based on wind and solar, is a daunting proposition. It will require new transmission lines and battery storage, and it must happen as storms and heat waves become more intense and frequent. Sascha von Meier, a physicist who specializes in the #ElectricGrid, thinks it can be done. At the same time, communities need to prepare to protect people as #climate change accelerates.

Paul Shapiro, CEO of The Better Meat Co. and Author of Clean Meat, How Growing Meat WIthout Animals will Revolutionize Dinner and the World, explains how new processes can replace the environmental disaster that is animal agriculture. If people eat less or no meat and fish, much of nature can be restored and the wild animals that have been replaced by the 90 billion “livestock” slaughtered for meat each year, can return. Ecosystems can again flourish. Everyone can do this! For more information on the state of our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.
