Sebastian participated in a televised panel on climate change called 24 Hours of Climate Reality. The panel examined climate transformations taking place in the Arctic and their global consequences. Vice president Al Gore, Dr.Stephen Pekar, adventurer Doug Stoup and other joined the panel. You can view the segment here:

Pole to Pole: A Global Warning–How the Ice Foretells the Next Systemic Transformation

Sebastian was invited by UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, as an Oppenheimer speaker on October 24, 2012. The Oppenheimer series invites two speakers a year to address global issues, with one class lecture in the afternoon, and a keynote at the Fowler auditorium in the evening. The evening session was sold out days before the event, but a video brief of the talk was recorded earlier in the day. This is the brief:

400. That is the symbolic milestone of concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere in parts per million. It is increasing at the rate of 2.5 PPM per year and seems to accelerate. Not in at least one million years has the planet seen such high concentration of carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases in the atmosphere.
If you wonder what it means, this is the most direct threat to humanity and most living species that have thrived on this planet for the last 65 million years.
We cannot grow in perpetuity in a finite environment. It is time to have less and do more, and do more intelligently with what we have at our disposal.
