Climate change is the existential challenge of our time – but do we fully understand the depth and complexity of human influence over the planet’s temperature? In today’s COP26 special, Dr ELLA GILBERT, climate scientist from the University of Reading, takes Justin Quirk into the aspects of global heating that the media seldom foreground, from the cataclysmic impact of the cement industry to the strange and puzzling meaning of… clouds?
- “The non-CO2 impacts of aviation may be up to twice as harmful as the CO2 impacts.”
- “Ice is melting much more slowly in Antarctica than in the Arctic.”
- “Adding in climate pressures can cause tensions to boil over into conflict.”
- “Clouds at the tropics have a different impact to those in polar regions.”
- “If the cement industry was a country, it would be third biggest emitter of C02.”
Presented by Justin Quirk. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production
