Extract from Green Voices Ep 16 - Dr Susannah Fisher: how to instil hope YouTube video by A greener life, a greener world

A greener life, a greener world's latest Green Voices episode has landed!

I speak to climate scientist @susannahfisher.bsky.social about her book Sink or Swim and what motivated her to write it.

In this extract, she reflects on the importance of instilling hope.

#GreenVoices #climatescience

Susannah’s book questions what structures nations/civilization may need to meet the challenges of adaptation & survival in a +2°C world. Perhaps a natural follow-on to David Wallace-Wells 2017 New York Times article “The Uninhabitable Earth”, & Jem Bendell's “Deep Adaptation" literature from 2018?

Climate change is driving 40% of UK food price hikes.

Protecting households from spiralling costs of living means protecting the planet.

It's time to kick the expensive fossil fuel habit and accelerate the shift towards heating & powering Britain with efficient renewables.

Climate Change Made Hurricane Melissa Four Times More Likely: Study Hurricane Melissa, which struck Jamaica as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, was made four times more likely because of human-caused climate change, a rapid analysis said Wednesday.

Currently reading: Sink or Swim, by @susannahfisher.bsky.social - very good so far, and a hardback book without a dust cover is a classy object, no?

Historic High Seas Treaty is a "turning point for humanity" - Oceanographic An historic treaty to protect the marine life and ecosystems of the high seas, the High Seas Treaty, will come into force in 120 days.

Well, here's some good news to start the weekend. Negotiating a treaty is one thing, but the work only starts once it's ratified and it looks as though the High Seas Treaty (aka BBNJ) will soon be up and running. This provides structure & standards & is a big step in protecting our ocean. 🎉🎉🌊

Looking forward to talking about my new book, Sink or Swim, about how we adapt to warming temperatures with @dannydorling.bsky.social in Oxford at @caper.fun tomorrow at 19:30!
