Climate Science Presented Brilliantly

Those looking for a wonderful presentation from several top climate scientists will enjoy the video below. There is so much here about ozone depletion, ultra-violet light and the electromagnetic spectrum, water vapor in the stratosphere, changing ocean currents, ice formation, water density, sea-level rise and dozens of other issues that it’s hard to name them all.

The good thing about physics on the scale of things like planets is that it doesn’t defy human intuition; it’s been around for a couple of centuries, and it’s fairly easy for anyone to understand. We should be thankful that what we need to understand about the physics of climate change does not exist at the scale of galaxies, where relativity comes into play, or, worse, at the subatomic scale governed by quantum mechanics.
