Parallel universes - climate science versus climate reality

The science on climate change is pretty clear and not new. The latest IPPC report is pretty dire in its predictions, but our understanding of the science is not new – it has been around since the 19th century. Alongside this science and increasing understanding, however, is what is happening on the ground – a different universe altogether. This podcast looks at this reality, and why now is the time to get real about the implications of a world of 1.5ºC+ within our lifetimes, not only in terms of the likely costs, but also what it means in terms changing our behaviour.
