“We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled.  We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis”.

Those are the opening sentences of the 2024 State of the Climate Report, led in part by scientists at Oregon State University.  I’m willing to bet that not a single person listening to this needs to be convinced that fossil fuel caused climate change is a global emergency.

I think the questions that we’re all asking are, how bad is it?  Are we too late to act?  And if not, what can we do to force real action?  

My guest today is Dr Jillian Gregg, one of the co-authors of the State of the Climate report.  Dr Gregg is also the CEO Terrestrial ecosystems research associates. 

This was a great conservation, and I hope you come away angry and inspired like I did.  Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected]!
