This Thursday, we invite you to participate in a live discussion with Zeke Hausfather, a prominent climate scientist affiliated with Berkeley Earth. The conversation will delve into Hausfather’s journey into climate science, his experiences at Berkeley Earth, and the organization’s significant contributions to the research and understanding of climate change. Initially founded by a physicist with a critical view of prevailing climate research, Berkeley Earth has since transformed into a vital entity dedicated to calculating and monitoring global temperature trends.
In recent years, global temperatures have surged to unprecedented highs, with the past months consistently recording the warmest averages for that time of year. This alarming trend poses the threat of surpassing critical climate targets sooner than anticipated, leaving the scientific community striving to account for the severity of the heatwaves. During the live chat, we aim to explore with Zeke his insights on the implications of these drastic temperature changes, their association with tipping points, and the influence on specific weather events.
This leads us to an essential inquiry: How are these developments shaping our understanding of climate projections for the remainder of this century?
We also look forward to addressing your queries. If there’s a question about climate science that you’ve been eager to ask, Zeke could provide the answers—or direct you to someone who can. We hope you will join us for this engaging discussion on Thursday, June 26, at 1 PM Eastern Time.
