Dr Kevin Trenberth, a highly regarded climate scientist whose work on several IPCC reports has made him a leading voice in the field, sat down with BizNews to discuss the current state of climate change. Dr Trenberth did an exemplary job of explaining how, while climate change is primarily caused by greenhouse gases, it also amplifies natural weather patterns like El Niño. Both those on the climate change alarmist and sceptic sides of this critical debate are sure to follow the interview keenly as Trenberth provided detailed explanations of complex climate science concepts and responded to statements made by climate scientists in the opposing camp. Dr Trenberth was forthcoming and informative with his beliefs and arguments – a fresh and very welcome level of professionalism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
