A few weeks ago, the IPCC - the intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - released a report stating that the next decade could be the last chance humanity has at avoiding the devastating impacts of climate change.
Failing to do so could result in irreversible damage to ecosystems, food systems and living conditions for millions of people globally.
To make sure this does not occur, we need nothing short of a whole sale reinvention of the global economy. As the report states, we need to make, "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society"
Olly and Gareth look at the current state of the climate change debate, the responses from the US and Australian governments to the IPCC report, meat consumption and come up with some ways to help everybody reduce their footprint.
