Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.
EPISODE 22: Unexpected warming, legal success, and how many will die
This time, Clare and Charlie cover a new scientific paper warning that global warming is accelerating, the bad framing of bats and newts vs growth, the legal cases brought against the government concerning new fossil fuel infrastructure and a report by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries into climate risks.
