Episode notes

I hear this acronym in the news all the time, never before had the pleasure of speaking with anybody who actually is doing the work. So i'd love to hear about it, right? Well, that's a great question. And i m i think you're right that it's a pretty vague entity for a lot of folks who are am interested in and listening to the climate change conversation. But essentially what happens is, you know, every year or so, there are these big international negotiations and climate change. That's a highly charged political set of negotiations. Into that process is brought science to inform that debate and to inform those targets.

The IPCC Report is one of the biggest, most important scientific projects ever undertaken by humankind, bringing together thousands of scientists from around the world to collect and evaluate our most up-to-date knowledge on climate change. Today on the show, Adam speaks with one of the lead authors of that report, Sarah Burch. Sarah explains where we are, where we’re headed, and what we can do to stop it, straight from the horse’s mouth; and she shares why she is optimistic about humanity’s future.
