Yale Climate Connections has recognised the fact that children are, in a sense, excluded from the climate conversation and so have recommended a book - "New children’s book explains systemic nature of climate change".
Quick Climate Links is not about pedagogy, rather it's about helping you better understand the climate crisis and subsequently be in a stronger position to make your own choices and decisions.
A Melbourne Age story by NIck Toscano - "ExxonMobil fires warning over Victoria’s plan to turn off gas" - needs to be read with a critical mind and looked at through a doubting and questioning prism.
Listen to RN Breakfast host, Patricia Karvelas, talk with an atmospheric scientist with the Australian Antarctic Program, Dr Andrew Klekociuk - "Record heatwave hits eastern Antarctica".
