Manage episode 424636277 series 3205434
My co-host Rhea Verbeke and I welcomed Professor Martin Truffer, a distinguished glaciologist, who highlighted the critical role glaciers play in maintaining stable water supplies. We explored the alarming rate of glacier retreat due to climate change, noting that while some glaciers may be beyond saving, others can still be preserved if we act quickly to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Professor Truffer emphasized the importance of understanding glacier dynamics and the potential of AI in predicting future changes, advocating for a focus on reducing carbon emissions over technological fixes. This conversation underscores the urgent need to address climate change, using glacier retreat as a powerful indicator of broader environmental shifts.
