The Sustainability Dialogues: Ice, Glaciers & The Climate Crisis with Xavier De Le Rue & Johan Rockström

In today's episode we start talking about a subject very close to my heart - the glaciers and the poles, which leads us down so many roads; from drinking water to sea level rise, geo-political security and the ascent of right wing populism all of which is pretty overwhelming and scary, but Johan is all about finding solutions and we go on to discuss the growth of renewables through to carbon capture storage.LINKSInterglacial StateThe Holocene Mer de Glace in ChamonixThe retreat of the Mer de Glace in Chamonix.
