Even though the October 8, 2018 release of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report was meant to jolt humanity into action to bring down carbon dioxide releases within 12 years to avoid global catastrophe – a stunned silence fell upon most of the world media.
Two scientists, who have been on TUC Radio before, are imploring us to notice that the IPCC’s report is not urgent enough. They are Professor Peter Wadhams, Emeritus Professor of Polar Ocean Physics, Cambridge University; and Professor Kevin Anderson from the Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research, University of Manchester.
My thanks go out to Stuart Scott, with the United Planet Faith and Science Initiative and Amy Goodman of Democracy Now for giving them a voice.
First is Professor Peter Wadhams, interviewed by Stuart Scott on October 11, 2018, on the United Planet Faith and Science Initiative.
Next is Professor Kevin Anderson, interviewed by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. They spoke on October 9, 2018
