Why its real, happening and how we can play a part. A lecture from Brendon Anthony.
In this episode Brendon kicks off the brief lecture series by discussing the difference between climate change and global warming, while providing six pieces of evidence for climate change today: global temperatures rising, melting ice sheets and glaciers, ocean warming, ocean acidification, sea level rise and extreme weather events.
Additionally, Brendon provides seven potential mitigation/solution strategies: leveraging the economy, energy and transportation sectors, along with eating locally, eating less meat, supporting sustainable agriculture and having one fewer child.
