Predicting the Earth’s climate with Tom Matthews

The Earth’s climate has been known to change in the past, but it’s only since the industrial revolution that there have been changes to our climate which have been driven by humans. Environment Editor for The Times, Adam Vaughan joins climate scientist and National Geographic Explorer Tom Matthews to investigate how his work, mapping the planet’s most extreme climates, can help us to better understand how our climate is changing and most importantly, evaluate whether we can change the course that we’re on. Through its Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex supports Tom Matthews as part of the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Mount Everest Expedition and the Amazon Expedition.This is Planet Hope, a new podcast from The Times in partnership with Rolex and its Perpetual Planet Initiative.Series producer: Anya PearceClips: Sky News, BBC, Channel 4 NewsThis podcast is advertiser funded.
