In addition to UK floods, I cover current heat waves in Australia, California, Brazil/Argentina, Alaska and Siberia. Did you know that increased rooftop solar in southern Australia in 2014 saved the electric system from blackouts experienced in the heat of 2009?
Normally on Radio Ecoshock, my expert guests do the talking, while I listen and learn along with you. But this week there are major developments here on Earth that are not coming through to you clearly, or not reported at all.
Later in the program I'll interview the author of a new book about "Walk Out, Walk On:. Its a strategy for getting out of an unproductive life, or one damaging the earth, and finding your own path.
I also interview Dr. Jochen Hinkel from the Global Climate Forum in Berlin. He's the lead author of a new paper which tries to calculate the economic damage to the world from rising seas. It's a game-changer for sure. The world economy will be crippled by that alone.
