Climate Change is probably one of the most over-used terms in modern environmental journalism and scientific research. The effects of this phenomena is so broad that almost any modern issue can be connected with the rapid changing global climate. Similarly, however, its effects are so deep that it’s easy to overlook the social, cultural—and obviously—environmental consequences. That is probably why there seems to be a burnout of the issue that’s felt all around the world—Climate Change is ultimately a topic that seems to have no end or cure. But is that really true?

In this episode, Dr. Aziz Mulla, a post-doc at National Taiwan University, speaks with two scientists and look at the facts. Trevor Padgett and Dr. Vicky Lin speak from their respective fields of forest ecology and marine ecology, and look at this looming climate threat from a fresh perspective. Opinions are raised, but ultimately, they tackle the question “what is climate change,” and “how do we solve it?” Like our other episodes, they also examine how Taiwan is doing in this global fight against global warming.
