The Science is In.

Scientific report after scientific report reinforces the evidence that though a host of different ways, we humans have been contributing to profound changes in the climate of our planet - or to be more precise, of the planet that we share with a myriad of other living organisms.  As Richard's guest in this episode explains, these changes, that have become increasingly apparent over the past half century or so, represent some very serious threats not just to the well-being of our own species, but to a host of other life forms on earth.

Emeritus Professor Ian Lowe is one of the leading and most distinguished voices in this country and way beyond, calling for scientific evidence on climate change to be accepted and for science-informed policies and practices to be accordingly accepted and adopted.  The science is in, he emphasises, and with it, many indications of what we need, can and indeed should do to reverse the present, potentially catastrophic situation. But as he also points out, science cannot stand alone in this endeavour but must be accompanied by responsible and responsive complementary insights and practices from governments, businesses, and indeed by all of us as citizens in our quest for Getting to Better Together.
