Climate Action Show

The Unforgiving Math of Staying Under 2 Degrees  This show was broadcast on Mon 16th January 2017“In the landmark Paris accord, 195 countries from around the world agreed that they would collectively keep average global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees, and that they would pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. But what does science have to say on actually keeping those goals? And how fast, and by how much, will we have to cut our emissions to get there?” “Professor Kevin Anderson, deputy director of the influential Tyndall Centre, is a climate scientist who looks at exactly this question. And the math he comes away with, isn’t pretty. We look at the small timeframe we have to make the Paris declarations a reality, and why it won’t be as straightforward as perhaps some of us have been led to believe.” – interview courtesy of The Elephant Podcast  MONDAY BZE Radio Mon 5-6pm TUNE in http://3cr.org.au/streaming  LIVE CATCH Podcasts @ http://bze.org.au/podcasts TWEET it in : @beyondzeronews and #bzelive FB conversation: https://www.facebook.com/beyondzeroemissions/

With dozens of examples—from the private sector to government agencies—Stoknes shows how to retell the story of climate change and, at the same time, create positive, meaningful actions that can be supported even by deniers.”This special re-broadcast is BZE Radio’s Christmas Summer Series producer’s pick of the year for 2016.
