- In this episode I talk to meteorologist, documentary film producer, TV host, writer, author, university lecturer, public speaker and media personality Richard Zurawski about climate change - how it has affected agriculture over the last few decades, what to expect in the coming decades, and how this all relates to home gardening.

Great conversation. Please continue. Thank you to both of you.
Long video... Had to cue it in to listen again. Thank you.
Another great episode! Good job
I lived a few years in NS and NB in the 80's, I was in the military and I never seen weather like this, the past few years, it's terrible
When we were younger we used to hang out on Blomidon Beach on Minas Basin, NS. In winter is was so cool, because the ice would fuse and be piled up 2 stories high in some places, all carved by the tides, with caves we could walk through. You could see the sun shining through the ice illuminating the caves, and it was surreal and beautiful. This phenomena occurred every year starting in mid January. Ended up moving to the city about 35 years ago.
I moved back to the area around 2000, and there wasn't even a chunk of ice the size of a golf ball washing up on the shore. I spent 15 years there, and that was consistently the case. Acadia University did some studies on the quickly changing biology of the mud flats, and apparently the fact those large ice chunks were not scraping and mixing the silty mud with the tides caused the buildup of organic material that caused anoxia due to the decaying which is why all the shore worms and clams are no longer there either.
Not much anyone can do anything about now, but I miss the amazing winter scenery on the Minas shoreline.
Remember that this extinction event is outpacing the asteroid's the next time someone offers a paper straw level solution to this hell we're creating.
great podcast greg , I am not sold that we can solve the climate crisis without causing economic collapse of historical proportion. The economic web that holds us together is made with oil and gas and I do not see how it is possible to change that, without a radical reduction in our lifestyle. I also find that when you try and do good things in the typical consumerist fashion you just end up trading problems. If you look at home gardening you see something great for sustainability, but when you investigate further you see an industry riddled with single use plastics..I am not saying we are doomed but we still don't have a clue how to actually tackle this problem in an economically safe way.
I see nuclear energy as the solution in the short term. In the long term I think hydrogen fuel is the way - but it takes enormous energy to separate hydrogen from water - so either nuclear energy or future solar energy may allow us that capability. The economic web that holds us together is cheap energy - which just happens to be oil and gas right now. When a viable alternative is found, they will be gradually left behind just like coal. Anyway - there is so much politics and money weaved into this mess I think it will be a miracle if we ever find our way out.
@@maritimegardening4887you are correct that the best short term remedy for our energy problem is nuclear energy. I would have liked you to ask your guest if he was in favor of nuclear energy. Why do I think he would be opposed to such a suggestion.
Edmonton 13,000 years ago was covered with 2 km of ice. Pretty inhospitable! Nearing the solstice we are still getting frost warnings at night. The climate always has, and always will, change.
Greg, compare the time you were talking with the guest.
It felt incredibly even or almost skewed in your favor. When you have a guest on, let them talk the most. You want them to share their knowledge and expertise, so let them!
I'm not a professional interviewer. Sometimes I do a better job than others.
@@maritimegardening4887 A little better every time, right?
I don't how to say it to like Mom said don't say it. This time I will stay silent!
???
@@maritimegardening4887 things Richard says makes me not care where he sits!
I don't think Ocean Salinity will be a problem.
Think about it:
How much fresh water are all the rivers in the world dumping into the ocean? That doesn't change salinity of the oceans.
The reason oceans are salt is because the only way water leaves is through evaporation. Salts are leached from the land and left in the oceans when the water evaporates.
there's a difference between that and all the ice fields melting.
Ya wanna do something? STOP WAR. The contributions to pollution and all that by military are BIG. Peace makes more sense.
Men must change before kingdoms may change. It’s somewhat utopian to think there will be no war in the future.
Scientists attempting to explain climate is like scientists trying to explain the rest of the universe. We know a lot but really not very much.
Sorcerer's Apprentice comes to mind.
If you’re interested in a more conservative view of this topic, see Jordan Peterson and Destiny’s 2024 podcast. This was one of the most informative podcasts on the climate.
JP is a psychologist. Destiny is a gamer. I'm not interested in their take on the climate, regardless of their politics.
@@maritimegardening4887most leftist are mort interested in titles and academic credentials than the truth. As a gardener, I’m surprised you aren’t interested in the truth wherever it comes from.
@@maritimegardening4887Greg, do you only listen to people who agree with you?
@@maritimegardening4887can people without academic credentials or titles have insight or speak the truth?
@@maritimegardening4887Greg, does your ministry of truth post a list of approved truth tellers? So when the government speaks we will know who to believe?
This guy admits we have insufficient information to predict the weather, an insufficient time frame to evaluate the weather, and an insufficient measurement devices to understand the weather. Yet, he thinks we’re in a crisis. I have to wonder why? What’s the motivation?
You are misrepresenting what he said.
@@maritimegardening4887I’m giving what he said a fair and objective perspective. These are his words. I remain surprised how supportive you are of these leftist causes.
hey man, you're literally subscribed to neo-nazi channels and Russian propaganda. Just relax.

@@smhollanshead You could start by looking up the difference between weather and climate. Once you learn what these English words refer to, it should clear up any misunderstandings you might have.
