Drastic consequences to life as we know it, here on Mother Earth are the topics of this, the first of a two part series on abrupt climate change. Once again we visit with Guy McPherson, a Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona.
McPherson discusses how global warming is affecting climate change. He explains the physics of what will occur when the polar ice cap has melted ending its ability to reflect the heat of the sun. Instead the heat of the sun will be absorbed by the world’s oceans. McPherson predicts that could well occur by 2022 or sooner, causing the temperature of the oceans to increase. McPherson argues that this temperature will result in the loss of the “planetary air-conditioner” and the loss of habitat for human species.
Professor Guy McPherson and I visited by phone while he was on a speaking tour, on August 12, 2018. We began our conversation when I asked his to describe the current state of climate change, now in 2018.

First Half:
In the first half of the episode, we comb through several statements typically made by folks who intend to distance themselves from racists but they end up sounding racist themselves. We examine the intention typically found behind these statements, but also how they can be perceived as problematic.
Second Half:
The second half of the show is dedicated to The 8 White Identities by Barnor Hesse—a supposition by the professor that segments different White identities based on their level of racist/anti-racist behavior. We give our thoughts on this insightful chart and share examples of how we see these behaviors played out in real life.

Ngugi wa Thiong'o left us last May, 2025. He was one of the greatest voices in African and world literature. In an interview with Michael Slate, he discusses how his art developed, the role of art and writing in politics, the struggle against colonial and neo-colonial oppression and the movement to build a whole new world worthy of human beings.
If you're still driving a combustion engine vehicle, you've probably noticed that within a matter of weeks the price of gas has increased by about a third, courtesy of the illegal war being waged on Iran by the US and Israel. This week on Sea Change Radio, we welcome returning guest and oil expert Daniel Dicker to get an inside perspective on the latest spike in the global price of oil. We discuss the impact the high prices have on the renewable energy industry, ponder how it could affect U.S. domestic oil producers, and examine how the Trump Administration's manipulation of markets has made oil a very risky commodity to trade.
