The consequences of climate change

The science journalist, Peter Hadfield (aka Potholer), has a great new youtube video about the consequences of climate change (in our lifetimes). I have to give credit to Moth from New Anthropocene for bringing it to my attention. This to me is good science communication: it’s simple, clear and interesting.

 

Here’s a quote from the very end which strikes a chord for me:

I’m not alarmed by a problem that our intelligence will allow us to mitigate; I’m alarmed at our ignorance and gullibility that leads us to wilfully ignore it.

    I just finished watching this. I’m glad you posted it. Now back to the book I’m reading, Climate Cover-Up, by James Hoggan. I don’t see how anyone who has children or grandchildren, or a sense of responsibility, can ignore this.

      Great! I’m glad you liked it. I’ve just looked up your book and it looks quite good. Is it good?

        It’s good, but it won’t make you happy. It helps explain why climate science is still being questioned. I think it is important to know who is doing this and how. I’m very
        surprised to learn of the ones who abet.
