Scientist Paul Beckwith speaks out on Arctic methane and abrupt climate change - and ways to stave it off. Scientist Douglas McCauley, University of California: industrializing the ocean could lead to mass extinction of marine animals.

In the Affiliates version there is a good break point and re-intro at 32:58 for stations needing to add Station ID or announcements.
According to one climate scientist, "We are at the extreme weather stage and rapidly heading into the red zone." That is when "all hell breaks loose". Who else says so? Your insurance company. Both Lloyd's of London and Zurich Insurance in Switzerland just warned of extreme weather events coming this year of 2015.
The climate scientist is Paul Beckwith from the University of Ottawa. He has two Masters Degrees, and is working on his PHD in climate science. Paul lives out the late Steven Schneider's call for scientists that communicate.
We've tons to talk about, after the hottest year on record, climate talks in Lima, Peru - you were there - and still more alarming news coming out of the Arctic. We also discuss the possible 50 gigaton burst of methane suggested by Dr. Natalia Shahkova from the University of Alaska, and her Russian colleagues.
Next up: We all fear there is something terribly wrong at sea. Call it extinction, or call it something else, stories of dwindling ocean life are daily washing ashore.
A new paper published in the journal "Science" says we are at a cross-roads for marine life. The lead author is Dr. Douglas J. McCauley, head of the McCauley Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara - our second guest this week on Radio Ecoshock.
