In this episode, I talk with Walter Jehne, a renowned expert in climate, soil microbiology, and hydrology, about how we can cool planet Earth quickly and sufficiently to avoid the worst of global warming. Join me in this fascinating conversation on restoring water cycles, cooling the planet, absorbing carbon, and 'making it rain' by understanding and leveraging natural processes.
Walter explains that CO2 is a symptom, not the cause, of climate change, highlighting the greater role of water in our planet’s cooling system. We delve into the misunderstood role of large herbivores like cattle, often blamed for climate change, and reveal how they can be the most significant—and perhaps the only—tool we have to restore our climate and ecosystems.
This is one of the most captivating interviews I've ever conducted. Walter invites everyone, whether farmers or urban dwellers, to be part of the solution. He warns that without decisive and swift action, Earth's systems will face disastrous consequences. Despite his clear warning, Walter’s message is a message of hope: we can reverse climate change and cool the planet- but it takes all of us.
