Ep18 - Q&A3 - Climate bodycount?

Welcome back to our (very tardy) final Q&A and FINAL!! episode in this podcast series! Today we deal with a couple of outstanding listener questions. Listener Josh wants to know how many people have and will die from climate change and Rob is interested in knowing whether a carbon tax will save the day! Both very difficult questions, but thought provoking nevertheless! Since the podcast will cease to exist at the end of July, please find an archive of past episodes of the show on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@CounteringClimateSkepticism It's not impossible that we could be tempted out of retirement, so please keep in touch via the show's email: [e-mail] Once again, thank you for listening to the show. Both John and I enjoyed making it.  We hope you have a better understanding of the climate system, climate denial and that you aren't completely demoralised! I mean it will take an awful lot to stop the by now well underway global energy transition.  Somehow I don't think any amount or form of climate denial is going to be enough! 😊  TIMESTAMPS: AVAILABLE SHOWNOTES: @10:09 IPCC WG2 Summary for policymakers (climate change impacts) @26.50 What impacts are we likely to see with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6°C of global warming?
