Renowned climate scientist and "ice maverick" Dr. Jason Box joins me to discuss the specific and broad implications of anthropogenic climate disruption. He cites nearly three decades worth of on-the-ground documentation of the impacts human industrial activity is having on the rapidly thawing Greenland ice sheet, written about extensively in his independently published book ‘Faster Than Forecast: The Story Ice Tells Us About Climate Change.’ Jason Box is a professor in Glaciology and Climate at the Geologic Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS).
