Last Born In The Wilderness

[Intro: 8:46] In this episode, I speak with Dr. Ira Leifer, founder and CEO of Bubbleology Research International Inc, and researcher who specializes in bubble-related oceanographic processes, satellite remote sensing, and air pollution. Dr. Leifer explains how methane release, particularly from fossil fuel extraction and other industrial practices, has been a major contributor to rapid global temperature rise over the past decade and a half. He asserts that focusing so heavily on reducing CO2 emissions, while certainly the most consistent driver of anthropogenic climate change in the long term, has been something of a strategic mistake by climate activists and policymakers in nations across the planet. Not because it's not worth addressing, but because it ignores the most dramatic contributor to rapid climate disruption in the near term, methane. Also, of note and increasing relevance, is the increase of methane release in the Arctic region and its inevitable impact on the climate system. As Dahr Jamail
