The Power Hour | What Actually Causes Sea Levels to Rise (and Fall) with Dr. David Legates

Subscribe to Heard at HeritageSubscribe

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts. Jack talks this week Dr. David Legates, Director of Research and Education at the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, about climate change and sea levels, and you won’t believe what he has to say. Dr. Legates, who holds a Ph.D. in climatology, and brings decades of research and experience to the table, specializes in hydroclimatology/surface water hydrology—in other words, he knows his stuff. If you want to know what is really happening with climate and sea levels, you don’t want to miss this one! You can learn more about Dr. Legates and his organization here, read a recent paper he wrote on the subject here, and to really go deep on climate change, check out his recent book, Climate and Energy, The Case for Realism, here and here.
