MEER Podcast - Rob de Laet
What if climate change cannot be understood through carbon emissions alone?
In this episode of The MEER Podcast, we speak with Rob de Laet about planetary energy balance, forest cooling, biohydrology, latent heat transport, atmospheric moisture regulation, and the role of ecosystems in stabilizing Earth's climate.
The conversation explores how forests, clouds, water cycles, and atmospheric processes interact within a connected Earth system, and whether climate science and policy may benefit from a broader framework that looks beyond carbon accounting alone.

Leon Simons presents his most recent analysis of atmospheric aerosols, how they affect the Earth’s albedo (surface reflectivity), and their impact on global warming. He discusses the global dimming effect caused by atmospheric aerosols and the risk of a dramatic jump in global warming due to termination shock, a situation where atmospheric aerosol levels drop quickly because of sudden reductions in fossil fuel use and sulfur content.
