John Englander is an American author, oceanographer, and widely-recognized expert on rising sea level and climate change .[2][3][4][5] From 1972-97 he operated a large pioneering scuba diving operation, based in Grand Bahama, "UNEXSO." In 1997 he became CEO of the Cousteau Society, personally hired by the legendary Jacques Cousteau.[6]
His first book, High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis was widely acclaimed and established him as an expert who could communicate clearly and without partisan perspective. His 2014 TEDx talk and his 2019 guest lecture in London at the prestigious Royal Institution have been viewed by over a half million people. "Sea Level Rise Can No Longer Be Stopped, What Next?" Comments show that his presentation is easy to understand for non-scientists and without political bias.
In 2022 Englander received considerable attention for the role he played in changing the position of New York Times columnist Bret Stephens about the severity and risks related to global warming and rising sea level.[7] He has given expert testimony to the US Congress, House of Representatives subcommittee on Energy and Natural Resources and been featured on Discovery Channel, "Miami: Brink of Disaster."
