What is Climate Change?

from We Need to Act · host Sara Rego

The subject of today’s episode needs no introduction. It has been in the spotlight for many years, with increased visibility after 2015 with the Paris Agreement, bragging in corporate strategies, and increased policies. But despite the talk, for many years, it was almost an intangible, distant concept whose impacts were not visible, at least not for the non-scientific community. But those impacts have been increasing and are now more clear than ever, with temperatures hitting records, floods in many parts of the globe, wildfires, and so on. So, despite the talk, action has not been enough to tackle this crisis. Can you guess? Indeed, we are going to talk about climate change. Sources: Maslin, Mark (2014).
