\nAnother part of the ‘climate change arsenal’ involves the capture and/or extraction of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
\nAnd that’s where this month’s podcast takes us – to direct air capture.
From late 2020 to the middle of 2022, the world experienced a triple La Nina which brought a record amount of rainfall to south-east Australia.
\nThe latest reports suggest that we could now be heading for not only an El Nino but a super El Nino. So what is this? And is this likely to happen?
\nIn this episode we talk to associate professor Dr Andrea Taschetto about all things La Nina and El Nino and whether a super El Nino may happen.
We are all aware of the impact that climate change is having across the world. The facts are there to see.
\nSometimes we can get lost in the 'doom and gloom' of these statistics and we spend less time and attention on how the world could effectively tackle the climate crisis. And that's where science comes in.
\nIn this episode we talk to climate scientist Dr Helen Cleugh about how science can save the planet.
