Will Steffen is one of Australia's great climate warriors and is not afraid to tell it like it is, letting the facts be the basis of the story.

Will, a professor from the Canberra-based Australia National University was once a member of the Australian Government's former Climate Commission, but is now a part of the community-backed Climate Council.

Asked what we could do as individuals about the climate crisis, the professor suggested we should obviously attend to our personal emissions, but then exercise our democratic rights and agitate for a government that will take a positive stand in addressing the crisis.
