11. A Climate Reality Check with Eliot Jacobson

In this episode of The MEER Podcast, we speak with Dr. Eliot Jacobson about what the climate data actually shows behind global summits, temperature targets, and public narratives. The conversation moves from COP outcomes to Earth’s energy imbalance, declining planetary reflectivity, polar ice trends, and the risks of underestimating the pace of warming, with a focus on clarity, evidence, and physical reality over political optimism.Eliot Jacobson is a mathematician, retired professor, and widely followed independent climate analyst. Known for his rigorous, data-driven approach, he tracks global temperature trends, sea-ice loss, and Earth’s energy imbalance, translating complex climate science into clear insights while actively countering misinformation.Eliot's website: https://climatecasino.net/Eliot's Social Media:X: https://x.com/EliotJacobson?s=20Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/climatecasino.netExplore MEER's work: https://www.meer.org/
