Carl Wunsch, a pioneering US researcher in studying the effects of climate change on the oceans, has warned of the risks posed by governments that deny the climate crisis. The scientist pointed out that the lack of funding for oceanographic research stems from arguments that dismiss climate change as a hoax.
Wunsch, whose work has been fundamental to understanding how the climate crisis affects the seas, emphasised the importance of international cooperation. The researcher stressed that political scepticism about climate change hampers progress in understanding these phenomena.
