Today we have something of a mixed bag.
First, we hear from a new member of the Climactic Collective, "The BIrd Emergency"; The publisher of the Climactic Collective, Mark Spencer, moved from Melbourne to New Zealand but has now moved back to the Victoria capital and reports from a small park above one of the city's freeways.
Setting itself up for the Federal election, The Conversation polled some 10 000 people to discover that more than 60 per cent of them are concerned about the climate crisis.
And today we take you to two episodes from the Climate One podcast - the first, "Dismantling White Supremacy to Address the Climate Crisis" and the second, "Solar Flare-ups".
