Season 4 Preview

 Laur Hesse Fisher: Hi everyone, it’s Laur Hesse Fisher, host of the Today I Learned: Climate podcast, brought to you by the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative.

At MIT, we have a commitment to sharing what we know about climate change.

We’ll be back soon with a fourth season of TILclimate, bringing you new episodes that dive into even more climate topics, like the role the ocean plays in our climate, solutions for reducing transportation emissions, the future of hydrogen energy, and a whole lot more. All around 10-15 minutes, with real scientists and experts.

Here’s a preview of what’s to come:

Sylvia Earle: It's important to recognize that the ocean is the basic system that drives climate. Without the ocean, what we think of as climate could not exist.

Joanna Moody: Every mile that's traveled, comes with externalities to society or negative impacts. Traffic, the potential for road traffic accidents, greenhouse gas emissions, local air pollutants. And so how do we get people to where they need to go in as sustainable and low carbon a way as we can?

Svetlana Iknakova: Hydrogen is very versatile. Hydrogen can be used in electricity generation. Hydrogen can be used for heating, for transportation.  There is a lot of testing on how hydrogen can be used even in airplanes and the burning of hydrogen will not produce that nasty carbon that we don't like.

Laur Hesse Fisher: We’re starting our season off with a 2-part episode on the ocean and climate change with renowned oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle. We’ll be releasing episodes throughout the summer, so hit subscribe to get notified when the next one is out. Until then!
