Summary
Welcome to the first episode of the MEER podcast , a show dedicated to science education that focuses on topics such as climate change, adaptation, and restoration. In this episode, we introduce Dr. Ye Tao , formerly of Harvard's Rowland Institute, as he shares his scientific background and how he unexpectedly found his way into the field of climate science. Dr. Tao explains the breadth of what is at stake in the climate crisis and discusses his motivations for changing career paths and founding the non-profit MEER (Mirrors for Earth's Energy Rebalancing) . Additionally, he describes the term climate and addresses some of the criticism and skepticism people encounter when trying to make a difference.
