A Conversation That Matters with Dr. William Happer

Episode 38 Professor William Happer - Princeton University

Carbon drought?

This week’s Conversation That Matters features Professor William Happer of Princeton University on the unique properties of carbon and why he believes we’re in a carbon drought.

The renowned physicist says when it comes to CO2 there’s more good than bad. He goes onto say most of CO2’s effect has already happened. He points to the logarithmic dependence of temperature on CO2 levels.

Happer says the unique properties of CO2 mean that current levels would need to double for another one degree increase in temperature and they’d have to double again for another one degree rise.
