**[FRENCH VERSION of S4E1]** COP28 & 2023 - Bilan de l'année

Hosted by Brian Barnes, South of 2 Degrees-The Science Behind Climate Change is an award-winning exploration of the data shaping our planet's future. This isn't about sensational headlines or political talking points; it's about the fundamental research conducted in labs, field stations, and ice cores. Each episode focuses on a specific piece of the climate puzzle, breaking down complex studies on atmospheric chemistry, ocean currents, ecosystem shifts, and energy technology into clear, engaging conversations. Barnes acts as a guide, interviewing the researchers who are collecting the evidence and explaining what their findings actually mean for our world. The goal is to build a shared understanding rooted in evidence, cutting through the noise to examine the mechanisms of a warming world. You'll hear detailed discussions on topics like permafrost thaw feedback loops, the real-world efficiency of new solar cells, or the economic models underpinning climate policy. This podcast provides the substantive foundation often missing from public debate, offering listeners the tools to form their own educated perspectives. It’s for anyone who feels overwhelmed by conflicting information and seeks a reliable, science-first resource. By placing rigorous scientific inquiry at the center of the dialogue, South of 2 Degrees empowers a more informed and nuanced global conversation on the defining challenge of our time.
