‘Human beings have been driving the planet out of balance for the last hundred years or so. That hasn’t stopped. And it’s not likely to.’
- Josh Willis
Oceanographer Josh Willis of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is talking about what scientists call Earth’s energy balance, where the energy from sunlight striking the Earth matches the amount it radiates back out to space.
A key player in that balance are Earth’s oceans, which Willis studies using thousands of robotic underwater sensors. In this Clear Voices for Science podcast, EarthSky’s Jorge Salazar speaks with Willis about what role oceans play in Earth’s energy balance.

I enjoyed this article. I liked how you explained radiant heat and the problems with global warming…
Hey Jorge,
good too see, that someone is aware. The interview was pretty interesting. A lot of people forget about the importance of nature (esp. the sun,ocean and wildernis).
