In this episode, I talk to Professor David Karoly, Federation Fellow at the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne in Australia – and who is also a lead author for the IPCC (Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change) report on global warming.
We discusses climate change – what is it, what causes it, what are the effects, and how it relates to Australia and the world. David also mentions some topical thoughts about Ross Garnaut and what his report should state to the federal government, and answers some climate change skeptic questions.
What should our emission targets be? What are the timings of the impact of emissions?
We also talk about some fallacies – did you know that Japan, with an arguably much higher standard of living than many western nations, has half the per capita greenhouse emissions per person compared to Australia or the US?
Listen in on this fascinating episode. The show is just over an hour long, but I thought it was important to publish it in it’s entirety in a single episode.

Hi all,
Some of you may have noticed problems in getting the audio files for the show as of today (21/2). We’re currently experiencing some problems with the mp3 hosting server, hopefully it won’t be too long until it comes back up.
Thanks
