Sometimes they want to fund the scientists enough so that we can tell them what the weather’s gonna be like next week, but not so much that they tell us that there’s a climate catastrophe coming.” (02:31) (Dylan) “One thing that, at this point, is fairly undeniable is that the carbon levels are so much higher than they’ve ever been in the history of Earth.” (04:17) (Dr. Brian) “If we can follow the science, we can live our lives without a carbon footprint and we can still eat meat and we can still drive around. Science can make this happen and it will if we let it.” (05:33) (Dylan) “Individually, I think there’s very little we can do. I think collectively, as a species, is the kind of level we need to be thinking to solve this problem. I think that happens through political change. Yes, we can turn the lights off, but that’s not gonna change the world. We need to think bigger than that.” (06:53) (Dylan) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned Link to Byron Bay Observatory Link to Dylan O’Donnell’s Twitter NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast
