Getting a feel for the human cost of climate change

Australians are focused on the global coronavirus pandemic right now but a longer term threat to the planet seems to have taken a back seat. Journalist and author Paddy Manning has written a book called Body Count , that explores the very real and human stories that illustrate the fact that politicians, policy makers, lobby groups and other people should never eliminate the possibility that climate change plays a role in natural disasters. He advocates for a nuanced discussion about climate related issues that both shape peoples' lives and the future of the planet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
