The January newsletter from Psychology for a Safe Climate alerted Climate  Conversations to the work of Jane Hirshfield (pictured) and you can hear some of that at "On the Fullness Being" with Krista Tippett.

That same newsletter also discussed the book "Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis: Neoliberal Exceptionalism and the Culture of Uncare" by Sally Weintrobe.

Áine Kelly-Costello (pictured, a young smiling white woman) has written a Master's thesis focusing on how and why climate change reporting can be kept in the mainstream media beyond major climate conferences.

Áine's Master's thesis focuses on understanding the practice of climate journalism in Aotearoa New Zealand. Based on this research, she has written for The conversation about the importance of embedding regular, wide-ranging climate coverage into newsrooms, and covering the subject responsibly.

Áine has also worked as a journalist, podcaster and in campaigning on climate and disability. Find her work here.

Associate Professor Jodie Rummer (pictured) is one of those who have criticised the Australian Federal Government's intention to spend $1 billion on protecting The Great Barrier Reef.

The researcher in Marine Biology and James Cook University said in a Melbourne Age story - "‘Band-Aid on a broken leg’: Experts say Great Barrier Reef plan won’t save it" - "Yet, we are barrelling toward warming of more than 2 degrees, which will be fatal for coral reefs and the organisms – including the humans – that depend on them. We need to do more, faster, to cut emissions this decade.”

Doctors for the Environment, Australia, constantly warn about the threats to health arising from climate change.

The Scott Morrison led Liberal National Party Government has promised $1 billion to protect Australia's Great Barrier Reef, but it is doing nothing about the root cause of damage to the reef, climate change.

Several stories consider that issue:

"Morrison government announces $1bn pledge for Great Barrier Reef over the next decade";

"$1 billion to be injected into Great Barrier Reef to stave off ‘in danger’ listing";

"Morrison promises extra $1 billion to save the Great Barrier Reef";

Dr Sarah Jaquette Ray (pictured) has been Program Leader of the Environmental Studies Program at the Humboldt State University since 2013.

She received her PhD in Environmental Sciences, Studies, and Policy, with a focal department of English, at the University of Oregon in 2009.

Her most recent book - "A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety" - prompted an episode on "Climate Conversations" and as it was less than hoped, this episode is published as something of an apology, however it is a great episode in its own right.

You watch and listen to Dr Ray on the YouTube clip - "Climate Anxieties with Dr Sarah Ray".
