Sometimes having good talks on climate change requires a good listener. And we have one of the best in Professor Jason Box on the 5th episode of Planet A’s fourth season where Dan Jørgensen talks with the esteemed professor of glaciology about the state of the Greenland Ice Sheet and what it can tells us about the changing climate.

Jason Box has been co-author of the latest three assessment reports from IPCC and co-wrote the decisive UN report ‘Climate Change 2007’ for which the team was co-awarded the Nobel Peace prize the same year. He has also participated in more than 30 expeditions in Greenland to study climate changes and monitor the development of the ice sheet.

So what does the ice tell us?

Jonathan Safran Foer – How Breakfast Can Stem Climate Change

In the 4th episode of Planet A’s fourth season, Dan Jørgensen talks with the renowned American author, Jonathan Safran Foer.

His debut “Everything Is Illuminated ” and his later novels “Extremely Loud & IncrediblyClose ” and “Here I Am ” has established him as one of the most thought provoking American authors in this century.

Over the last decade his non-fiction books “Eating Animals ” and “We Are the Weather – Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast ” plunged him into the debate on climate change – and on this episode of Planet A .

And it all begins with what we eat for breakfast. Safran Foer proposes that we cut as many animal products as possible from our diet – until dinner. That way we can find comfort in the food we are used to eat, while still taking action on one of the biggest emission sources

Safran Foer suggests that we have overlooked what we can do about climate change ourselves. Thus, while we cannot change human nature, we can make choices about what we eat.
