Continuing on in the show we talked about Climate Change and Global Warming with Michael Tobis, Research Science Associate at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. Tobis is very much a software engineer working with one of the largest computers in the country. His global simulation studies provide a great deal of data and as Tobis explains, “Humans are increasingly the main impact on the environment, which is getting warmer.” He continued, “We can’t live on a growth economy forever.” To hear more from Michael Tobis listen to the podcast of the show where Michael provides an in depth perspective on the continued climate change and its impacts.
