The producers of “Hear The Big Picture” seek to tie scientific subject matter to history and current events–so that it’s more than just “science.”  Put another way, our content is about the significance of science to culture and everyday life.

Climate change and global warming have many manifestations, from extreme weather events such as increasingly fierce hurricanes to world-wide sea level rise, acidic oceans, and larger, hotter deserts that burn more readily.  The burning of fossil fuels such as carbon dioxide (C02) creates a greenhouse effect with these multiple serious ramifications for the planet.

And stay tuned for the second podcast on this subject.  In that we explain some lesser known technological measures that might ameliorate these problems, giving us some hope for the long term.
