If you’re someone who took the Pope’s words about Climate Change as a serious, moral concern, you have at least one man who has devoted his entire life to studying weather, climate, and environmental patterns and science:
Dr. Ramanathan.
In July of 2015, Ramanathan joined Governor Jerry Brown of California to propose solutions for stabilizing Climate Change at the Vatican summit of World Mayors organized by Pope Francis.
He currently chairs an international science team from Asia, Africa and Latin America under the Atmospheric Brown Clouds Program sponsored by the United Nations Environmental Programme.
Facts and data alone won’t inspire people to take action in the fight against global warming. So what will?

This is the sixth episode of Climate Lab, a six-part series produced by the University of California in partnership with Vox. Hosted by Emmy-nominated conservation scientist Dr. M. Sanjayan, the videos explore the surprising elements of our lives that contribute to climate change and the groundbreaking work being done to fight back. Featuring conversations with experts, scientists, thought leaders and activists, the series takes what can seem like an overwhelming problem and breaks it down into manageable parts: from clean energy to food waste, religion to smartphones. Sanjayan is an alum of UC Santa Cruz and a Visiting Researcher at UCLA. Taking action on global warming doesn’t stop here.
