13. The Climate Acceleration Debate: Could 3°C Arrive by 2050? with Dr. Klaus Ritcher
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
In this episode we’re joined by Dr. Klaus Richter, physicist and President of the German Physical Society. Dr. Richter recently co-authored a joint statement with the German Meteorological Society that drew global attention, warning that the Earth could warm by as much as 3°C by 2050 if current trends continue. The statement — and the DIE ZEIT article that followed — sparked widespread debate about how fast the climate is changing and how society should respond.
