Jonathan Nash

Jonathan Nash, a professor of oceanography at Oregon State University, shares insights on critical climate tipping points. He discusses the potential for rapid and irreversible changes, like the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and the transformation of North Africa into arid desert. Nash emphasizes the urgency of understanding these shifts, particularly how human-induced greenhouse gases drive them. The conversation highlights the significance of ice cores from Antarctica in revealing our climate history and the need for better prediction models to navigate future uncertainties.
