  Interview: Climate scientist, Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick admits to saying some 'horrendous' things about our climate, but doesn't want people to be overwhelmed, rather take action

  Sep 24, 202629 minS22

  Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick speaks honestly and factually about the certainties of climate change and although those facts can be alarming and depressing, she doesn't want people to be overwhelmed; she wants them to act to counter the dilemma. Professor Perkins-Kirkpatrick is a mother first and, second, a climate scientist, and she doesn't want her views to influence others about having a family. I had a somewhat formulaic approach for my interview with the Professor, but it quickly became almost a chat between friends, or that's how it felt for me.

  Episode #3241

  Ten more voices: 500 people in 50 weeks - call for everyone to openly and more frequently talk about climate change, both its causes and impact

  Sep 20, 202657 minS22

  Some interviewees call for more conversation about climate change as they want more people to know more about the dilemma - what's causing it, what are the impacts and what should be done. Although no one articulated it in so few words, they want government at all levels to engage communities and explain, in simple terms, what climate change is and how people should both respond and behave. Asked whether the emphasis should be on mitigation or adaptation, most respondents thought we should be tackling both. However, one respondent considered that turning our attention to adaptation was the equivalent of giving up on mitigation.
