Getting To Better Together

Another report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) brings another round of disturbing news about the extent to which the globe continues to warm particularly as a result of the elevated emissions of the so-called green-house gases. As long as we continue to rely on the burning of fossil fuels as our major source of energy, the greater impact we will have on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - and thus the continuation of the greenhouse effect. So what is to be done?

In this episode, our host Richard Bawden, welcomes back the distinguished scientist and commentator, emeritus professor Ian Lowe. With enviable clarity, Ian not only helps us understand the science, economics and politics at the heart of the matter, but explains in detail what we could do here in Australia about dramatically reducing our emission levels though technologies that are already well developed and in use in parts of the nation already.
