It’s one of the most commonly debated questions in the climate
world: Is this weather we’re experiencing natural, or is it
linked to man-made climate change?

In this episode of The Climate Question, Hosts Graihagh Jackson
and Jordan Dunbar are joined by BBC Lead Weather Presenter, Matt
Taylor. Matt’s forecasts are seen not just in the UK but around
the world.

Matt chats to Graihagh and Jordan about the crucial difference
between weather and climate, and the challenge of communicating
this on air. They discuss why heavy snowfall will still be
possible in a warmer world, as well as the likely increase in
droughts, heatwaves and extreme weather.

Matt also talks about whether climate change will make his
forecasts more or less accurate. And he tells Graihagh and Jordan
about an encounter with BBC wildlife legend, David Attenborough!
