Dr. Lewis Ziska, PhD is an extraordinary plant physiologist who joins me today to discuss pollen and allergens in our air. He had a 24 year career at the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service and is currently at the School of Public Health at Columbia University. He has contributed to International Panel on Climate Change reports with respect to food security as well as to National Climate Assessments regarding public health and air quality. His most recent book is: Agriculture, Climate Change and Food Security in the 21 st Century: Our Daily Bread. Listen to our discussion today about how climate change affects pollen.  We also cover more recent science suggesting that climate change is changing the nutritional content of our food, and may be affecting food allergies as well. He also shared more about the political interference with science that forced him to decide to leave the USDA, a place where he has served under Republican and Democratic administrations. As someone who works as an ICU doctor on the COVID19 frontline, it was sadly familiar to hear the current Administration ignoring life-saving science to feed a simple political narrative.  As a climate scientist, he also discusses the zoonotic origins of COVID19 and what we can expect regarding future pandemics and how we can prepare as a society and scientific community.  TLDL (To Long Didn't Listen)- Climate change is leading to more allergenic pollen, in greater amounts, for longer pollen seasons! Science saves lives!  Want to Take Action?  1- Twitchy Airways Club Members- see the post for this episode for ideas on adding up the costs of your allergies or asthma and how to use those to communicate the tangible costs of climate change.  2- Share your knowledge gained from this episode with your family, aquaintances, and on social media.    3- Consider donating to the National Resources Defense Council to work to mitigate damage from climate change and preserve clean air.  4- Write a comment in the iTunes store or wherever you listen to encourage others to discover the podcast and learn more about healthy air.  ----------------------------  Visit episode post for more information and references, or go to airhealthourhealth.org.  Follow and comment on Facebook page and Instagram.

Science over Politics- Pollen, Climate Change and Integrity with Dr. Lewis Ziska

Lewis Ziska, PhD is a plant physiologist and an associate professor at Columbia University. Dr. Ziska studies the nexus of climate change, carbon dioxide, plant biology and public health and has published over 100 peer-reviewed research articles. He was formerly with the USDA until summer 2019 when he resigned after having critical work with implications for millions around the world, blocked by the Trump administration in an unprecedented effort to silence academia and the search for truth.  This week in Agriculture Adapts by ClimateAi: - If CO2 is plant food, shouldn't more of it be good for plants? Not by a long shot - Higher atmospheric CO2 is causing a food/public health emergency in developing countries - What is the role of food businesses in protecting consumer health &amp; taking the mantle on sustainability?

Dr. Lewis Ziska - Rising CO2 Levels Makes our Food Less Nutritious: A Growing Public Health Emergency

Global warming is of great concern because of the impact not only on the ecosystem but on human health. There have been many concerns about how the increasing climate change will impact our crops. This is a huge concern because if we are unable to grow enough food, we may not have as much food as we need. World renowned authority, Plant Physiologist, Dr. Lewis Ziska has done extensive research on this subject. Today, we will discuss whether or not climate change has an actual impact on crops as well as invasive weeds. Can anything really be done to safeguard our food? Then there is the question of adaptation vs. mitigation. Is this even a viable option? In this encore presentation of The Organic View Radio Show, host,June Stoyer talks to Dr. Lewis Ziska about this research. Dr. Ziska is a Plant Physiologist with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Maryland. After graduating from the University of California, Davis, he began his career as a Smithsonian fellow, and then took up residence as the Project Leader for global climate change at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines before joining USDA. Dr. Ziska has published numerous papers on carbon dioxide and climate change impacts on agriculture, weed biology and public health. Dr. Ziska’s research has appeared in: The Wall Street Journal, National Geographic, The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report and CNN Headline News.Today's show is sponsored by Eden Foods the most trusted name in certified organic clean food!
