Letters of Warning and Hope: Climate Scientists Write About the Crisis

from The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planet · host Rico Verde

Hundreds of climate scientists were asked this simple question: “What do you feel about climate change.” The result was poignant, angry, bewildered, and in some cases hopeful letters from climate scientists that most importantly, spell out what we need to do to avoid the calamity that is barreling rapidly toward us.Climate change is a complex and intimidating threat. You can't see it when you look out your bedroom window. Its impacts are often not immediately noticeable, nor are the benefits of acting against it.Luckily there are a large group of passionate individuals who have dedicated their lives to studying climate change. These people write complex research papers, unpacking every aspect of climate change, analysing it thoroughly and clinically.  They understand the numbers, the facts and the figures. They know what is causing it, what the impacts will be and how we can minimise these impacts.But they're not clinical: distant and unemotional. These scientists are mothers, fathers, grandparents, daughters. They are real people. And they're concerned.Listen to the end where we share the only historically demonstrated, scientifically proven, socially supported method of turning the battleship of climate and ecological destruction around. And the best part? It involves you.EPISODE WEBPAGE A CALL TO ACT
