Meteorologist Mario Picazo will give a conference at La Democracia Society next Wednesday, the 30th, organized by the Club for Debate. The Telecinco "weather man" will talk about climate change, tropical storms and present his new television adventure at 8:00 p.m.
And, after being replaced by Eva González in the reality show Survivor, the meteorologist will start a new program in which he will show the places on the planet where the climate is more extreme and how its inhabitants live.
Mario Picazo will explain in this talk open to the public in Lanzarote the details of his new television program and you can see the first of the chapters of this adventure in extreme climates as a scoop. This past January, Picazo and Gispert began their first trip to the icy heart of Siberia. Picazo, who has a doctorate in Meteorology from the University of California UCLA, and a meteorologist from Tele 5, will travel in person to places with extreme temperatures to experience for himself how people live in them.
The popular meteorologist explains that "to begin, we decided to travel to the coldest inhabited place on the planet: Oymyakon. It is a small town located in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), in the far east of Russia, and holds the record of 71.2 degrees below zero on January 26, 1926. According to Picazo himself, such an extreme mark has not been repeated, although in its winters - of nine months - the temperature is around 50 and 65 degrees below zero.
Yakutsk, like so many other towns in Siberia, was built on what they call permafrost, a frozen surface present 12 months of the year and which thaws at the top during the summer. Thus, the architects manage to raise the constructions to prevent them from sinking during the few months of thaw.
Since its creation, The Club for Debate has programmed interesting conferences and colloquiums with leading figures. Melchor Miralles, from the newspaper El Mundo and Veo TV, have offered conferences; Carma Chaparro, the presenter of the Tele 5 News; Irene Villa, victim of ETA; the filmmaker Mabel Lozano, the model Sandra Ibarra who spoke about how to beat cancer, or the Iranian Hispanist Najmeh Shobeyri, about literature and women in the Islamic world.
