En Net Zero Speaks with Kim Cobb, climate activist Drishya Pathak delves into Dr. Cobb’s latest research findings, shedding light on crucial aspects that include El Niño’s impact on coral reefs and the significant role played by the Southern Ocean in shaping global climate patterns. With a focus on the importance of paleoclimate data, DR. Cobb reveals its significant role in studying historical climate patterns, not only in the Indian Ocean but also beyond.
This enlightening conversation brings together two passionate advocates for a sustainable future, offering invaluable insights that have the potential to shape our understanding and drive positive change on the journey towards a net-zero world.
La Búsqueda Global para la Educación is pleased to welcome Drishya Pathak.
Welcome Drishya. Why did you decide to interview Kim Cobb? ¿Qué te inspiró de ella??
DR. Kim Cobb has been a significant inspiration to me in multiple ways. As a scientist, she has been utilising her research expertise to contribute to community development. Her leadership as a woman has been a source of inspiration for women everywhere. Throughout the years, her scientific studies have been instrumental in enhancing our understanding of the impact of climate change on the marine ecosystem. Además, she recognizes the importance of effective communication of research work, which is crucial in making a difference.
Lo que más te sorprendió de tu entrevista?
During my interview with Dr. kim cobb, what particularly inspired me was her bottom-up approach to driving change. She focuses on identifying local issues and uses her area of expertise to create climate adaptation and mitigation models. This approach demonstrates her commitment to addressing problems at the grassroots level and finding practical solutions that can make a tangible impact. It’s impressive to see how she leverages her scientific knowledge and skills to make a positive change in a local region.
Please share your main takeaways for the Net Zero audience from your interview?
En primer lugar, I think the changing nature of the oceans over time represents the most significant climate signal for the marine ecosystem. It is evident that increasing temperatures, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, have had a notable impact on oceanic conditions. In this context, it is worth exploring whether recent El Niño events exhibit greater strength compared to those observed in the past 50 a 100 años.
Segundo, the influence of oceanic weather patterns extends from the Arctic to tropical regions, highlighting the interconnectedness of various tipping points. It is noteworthy that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is actively emphasizing the link between El Niño and emissions from fossil fuels. Consecuentemente, much of their research focuses on understanding the interdependencies between these factors, with their recent report also incorporating contributions in this regard. Certain regions display higher sensitivity to climate change than others, underscoring the importance of climate resilience efforts.
Finalmente, multiple organisations are actively involved in gathering data for coral restoration efforts and have established a global network of researchers. This network enables other researchers to access valuable information spanning the last 200 años, which encompasses the initial stages of global warming up to the present day. Remarkably, this collaborative effort has resulted in the collection of approximately 150-200 archivos, including valuable coral data going back to 1800. These extensive records serve as a valuable resource for studying the long-term impacts of climate change on coral ecosystems.
Thank you Drishya!
C. M. Rubin and Drishya Pathak
