Climate change is a 'multi-headed beast' that needs to be tamed, says Dr Kate Houghton. Scientists are trying to understand the effects of climate change using models and laboratory experiments. But they can't predict what will happen if we cut down trees or burn them - so how do you tame it? "We're wiping out farce in the amazon," asks Jeff Bezos.
How does NASA combat climate change? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-host Chuck Nice answer questions about renewable energy, geoengineering, and how science is helping us battle the climate crisis with NASA Chief Scientist Katherine Calvin.
