17. Beyond Carbon: Forest Cooling & Planetary Regulation with Rob de Laet
Wednesday, 17 June, 2026

What if climate change cannot be understood through carbon emissions alone?In this episode of The MEER Podcast, we speak with Rob de Laet about planetary energy balance, forest cooling, biohydrology, latent heat transport, atmospheric moisture regulation, and the role of ecosystems in stabilizing Earth's climate.The conversation explores how forests, clouds, water cycles, and atmospheric processes interact within a connected Earth system, and whether climate science and policy may benefit from a broader framework that looks beyond carbon accounting alone.Learn more about Rob's work:EcoRestoration Alliance: https://www.ecorestorationalliance.org/Global EverGreening Alliance: https://www.evergreening.org/Cooling The Climate: https://www.coolingtheclimate.earth/Read his book: https://books.google.com/books/about/Cooling_the_Climate.html?id=yicwEQAAQBAJ
