I wasn't worried about climate change. Now I am.

Science with Sabine ·

2024/02/11

In this episode I explain what climate sensitivity is and why it is important. Climate sensitivity is a number that roughly speaking tells us how fast climate change will get worse. A few years ago, after various software improvements, a bunch of climate models began having a much higher climate sensitivity than previously. Climate scientists have come up with reasons for why to ignore this. I think it's a bad idea to ignore this. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.

Why is nuclear power so expensive?

Science with Sabine ·

2023/12/31

Out of the many bad arguments against nuclear power, there are two good arguments: It's too expensive and the power plants take too long to build. But are they true? And if so, why is it that nuclear power is so slow and so costly? This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.
