Episode 3767: Global Warming Solutions: Dr. David Comings on 4 Ways to Fight Climate Change

Global Warming Solutions: Dr. David Comings on 4 Ways to Fight Climate ChangeWhat if reaching net zero isn't enough to stop global warming?On This Week in America with Ric Bratton, physician-scientist and geneticist Dr. David E. Comings discusses his book, The Science of Global Warming: And Four Ways to Fix It, an accessible, extensively researched look at the science behind climate change—and the solutions that could make a difference.Dr. Comings argues that reducing future carbon emissions is essential, but that the enormous amount of CO₂ already in the atmosphere means we must also explore ways to actively remove carbon and address other forces contributing to global warming.Featuring more than 100 full-color illustrations and hundreds of scientific references, the book examines rising atmospheric CO₂, climate feedback loops, ocean acidification, and the potential consequences for future generations.More importantly, Dr. Comings focuses on solutions. He explores four approaches to combating global warming, including increasing the Earth's albedo, addressing ocean acidification, enhanced rock weathering, and permanently storing carbon in basalt formations. He also explains how individuals, governments, corporations, philanthropists, and even fossil fuel companies could become part of the solution.Dr. David E. Comings is a physician, neuroscientist, behavioral and molecular geneticist who served as Director of the Department of Medical Genetics at City of Hope National Medical Center for 37 years. He has authored nearly 500 peer-reviewed scientific articles and five books and is a former editor of the American Journal of Human Genetics and former president of the American Society of Human Genetics.Can science give us realistic ways to reverse some of the damage already done?This Week in America with Ric Bratton is heard on more than 100 radio stations and podcast platforms worldwide, bringing listeners conversations with authors, experts, thought leaders, and innovators.For listeners searching for information about global warming, climate change, carbon dioxide removal, climate science, net zero, carbon capture, ocean acidification, enhanced rock weathering, and practical climate solutions, this conversation with Dr. David E. Comings explores both the scientific evidence and four potential ways to confront one of the most significant environmental challenges facing future generations.www.amazon.comhttps://www.thecomingsfoundation.orghttps://www.ecpublishingllc.comKeywords: David E.
