Saturday Jun 24, 2017
Saturday Jun 24, 2017
This week the lads reunite with their favourite climate scientist, Dr. Cara Augustenborg.
The Paris Agreement was thrust into the world's attention recently when President Trump announced the United States would be exiting the agreement. So the lads asked someone who actually knows something to come in and tell us what's what. Cara first joined the lads last year and now, nearly a year on she's come back to continue her efforts in trying to educate two clowns from the borough. From coffee being in danger to islands going under water and trying to capture carbon, Cara took the lads on whirlwind tour of climate and what we could all do to help.
You can hear more from Cara at her website, www.caraaugustenborg.com
