Welcome to the second piece of my two-part series on the State of the Environment chat with Professor William Laurance from James Cook University.

Last week in Part 1 we discussed Biodiversity and why it is so important. Today we’re chatting about climate change and will cover:

• What climate change is.
• The impact for life as we currently know it.
• What changes we can expect to see in the next 10-50 years.
• The main factors driving the change in our climate.
• What needs to happen to halt or slow the current rates of climate change.

This is another meaty article but one that is so important given that climate change is really changing life as we know it. It’s important that we get this knowledge out of our Universities and science institutions and into the general community so that we can all know as much as possible about the topic, and feel empowered to do something to address it.
