S1E11: A meeting of climate minds: Green Pulse Ep 11

Green Pulse Ep 11: A meeting of climate minds


17:14 mins


Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2019, The Straits Times
dives into all things green, blue and brown. Green Pulse analyses
the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity
conservation to climate change. 


This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan
(@audreytrp) and climate change editor David Fogarty
(@FogartyClimate) chat with Professor Mark Howden, director for
the Climate Change Institute at the Australian National
University, and Dr Jim Skea, Professor of Sustainable Energy at
Imperial College London's Centre for Environmental Policy. 


Both Professor Howden and Professor Skea are senior members of
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -- the
United Nations’ scientific body on climate science. With the IPCC
in Singapore to prepare for an upcoming report, The Straits Times
catches up with them to find out their thoughts on the state of
the world’s climate. 


The recent spate of extreme weather events have made people start
to pay attention to the warnings that scientists have been giving
for decades: The climate is changing, humans are to blame, and
the time to act is now. 


Tune in to this episode for a crash course on what the IPCC is,
why their scientific reports are so significant, and why they are
in Singapore.
