Ever get annoyed by denial of climate science? You know that 97%+ of climate scientists agree that climate change is human caused yet you still hear people arguing that: - “Climate has always changed” or - “But CO2 only makes up a tiny fraction of the atmosphere” And struggle to know how to counter? My name is John, a history teacher and joining me in this brand new podcast series ‘Countering Climate Skepticism’ is my old secondary school classmate Mark the climate researcher. Together we aim to provide you the layperson with foundational knowledge about the Earth’s climate such that you can identify and respond to the dizzying array of denial arguments you find out there!

Welcome back to our (very tardy) final Q&A and FINAL!! episode in this podcast series!Today we deal with a couple of outstanding listener questions.Listener Josh wants to know how many people have and will die from climate change and Rob is interested in knowing whether a carbon tax will save the day!Both very difficult questions, but thought provoking nevertheless!Since the podcast will cease to exist at the end of July, please find an archive of past episodes of the show on Youtube!https://www.youtube.com/@CounteringClimateSkepticismIt's not impossible that we could be tempted out of retirement, so please keep in touch via the show's email:ccspod280@gmail.comOnce again, thank you for listening to the show. Both John and I enjoyed making it. We hope you have a better understanding of the climate system, climate denial and that you aren't completely demoralised!I mean it will take an awful lot to stop the by now well underway global energy transition. Somehow I don't think any amount or form of climate denial is going to be enough! 😊 TIMESTAMPS: AVAILABLESHOWNOTES:@10:09IPCC WG2 Summary for policymakers (climate change impacts)@26.50What impacts are we likely to see with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6°C of global warming?
