Title: Faster than forecast: Communicating climate disruption
Abstract: Climate warming is accelerating. New data shows that vital systems including Greenland and West Antarctica are past tipping points, faster than forecast. This is different from the official story at Glasgow, and in IPCC reports. What are the most important climate stories to tell, and how might that be done?
Speaker: David Spratt is a climate science communicator and Research Director for Australia’s Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration. He is the co-author of “Climate Code Red: The case for emergency action” which first codified the idea of the climate emergency and the climate threat as a “code red”.
