Capturing Polar sea ice Before It’s Gone with Felicity Aston MBE

Planet Hope - Un pódcast de The Times

The Earth’s average surface temperature has risen by one Celsius since the late 19th century, an increase which has a lasting impact on our entire planet, not to mention some of the world's coldest and extreme areas. With reports suggesting that Arctic sea ice is now shrinking by 12.6% per decade, crucial data found in polar sea ice which can help predict future climate change is disappearing before our eyes. The Environment Editor for The Times, Adam Vaughan is joined by explorer, climate scientist and Rolex-partner Felicity Aston MBE, to hear how she has witnessed Polar landscapes change in recent years and what critical data she anticipates to capture in her latest expedition ‘Before It’s Gone North’. This is Planet Hope, a new podcast from The Times in partnership with Rolex and its Perpetual Planet Initiative. Series producer: Anya PearceClips: New Scientist, Sky News, BBC World ServiceThis podcast is advertiser funded.
