S1E34: The climate change detectives: Green Pulse Ep 34

Green Pulse Ep 34: The climate change detectives


20:49 mins


Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing
environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.


Every year we seem to be facing more and more extreme weather
events. This year, it’s been fires in Australia, Siberia and now
the US West Coast. Record floods have caused havoc in China,
while polar ice caps are melting faster. But can we link
individual events to climate change?


In this episode, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan and
climate change editor David Fogarty speak with climate scientist
Friederike Otto, who is the acting director of the Environmental
Change Institute at the University of Oxford, and co-lead of
World Weather Attribution, an international effort to analyse and
communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme
weather events.
