The End of Planetary Atmospheres

- Planet Venus is a hellish place and seemingly hostile to life, although recent measurements claimed the detection of biogenic signatures. Less than a billion years ago, Venus’s atmosphere underwent a dramatic runaway greenhouse effect rendering it likely to be uninhabitable.
This lecture will consider what can be learned about the possibility of catastrophic climate change on Planet Earth, in the light of thermodynamics and of what has happened to Earth’s twin, Venus.
A lecture by Professor Katherine Blundell OBE
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:

It's a real privilege for non-academics to have access to these videos, thank you Gresham College and Professor Katherine Blundell.
Professor Blundell is a brilliant lecturer. Thank you.
You're welcome.
This channel is incredible; huge thanks to everybody involved!
Sometimes, pros comments are rather more informative than a lecture itself, but each one is different and interesting too, thanks ;)
I have been eagerly waiting all summer for Professor Katherine Blundell & Gresham Collage to post the next brilliant lecture. Thank you !!
Blundell's back. 😉
Sorry for nitpicking, but CO2 is not a Dipole. CO2 is a linear molecule and therefore symmetric, O-C-O.
This would be even better if there was an accompanying coloring book so we could color along with the lecture.
Surprisingly beautiful.
Imagine if all the Starbucks disappeared.
I noticed that she never says James Webb, she says jwst! 🤔
congratulations, you've been awarded youtube's blue banner of truth, un edition
Next Venus transit is 2117 - so start preparing now.
'Mariner 2'??? Doesn't she mean Voyager 2?
Wait till they discover that Hebrew Cosmology is true.
More political posturing.
You should step away from that mirror occasionally...
@@jbyrd655 I’m not self-obsessed, pet.
@@Happyheretic2308 Your silly post indicates otherwise.
@@jbyrd655 I think you are silly. Many actually agree with Kerie.
not just silly but nasty with it. you don't have to be an atmospheric scientist to be dissatisfied with the caffeine comparison, although if you are, you probably dare not. nevertheless, it was so unsound, the list of caveats would need its own lecture to address. @@MrWhite-BMF
