Following on from last week's episode looking into some of the basics of climate science with Dr Adam Levy, this week I'm chatting to another climate scientist, Dr Ella Gilbert, and this time we're diving into the murky world of climate denial!Here's some of the misinformation that Ella addresses for us, using actual science:Climate scientists cherry pick the data and make it all upGlobal temperature stations are now located in next to airports and in built up regions which is why recorded temperatures are hotter How come it felt relatively colder in the UK this summer?The wildfires that happened globally over the summer were started by arsonistsIn the 1970's scientists were predicting an ice ageClimate scientists are part of a global conspiracyWhat about the Roman or Medieval Warm Periods and the Little Ice Age?30 years ago we were told to panic about the hole in the ozone layer - that was all the rage for a season or two, now we're told to panic about global warmingTemperature records began at the end of the Little Ice Age so of course temperatures have increasedThere are no temperature measurements from thousands of years ago, so you're just making that data upMore carbon dioxide is better for plantsWhat about China? No point us doing anything when China are such big emittersDr Ella GilbertImage credit: Joel Pett GOOD NEWS!In the new Good News section after the main interview, I share some of the good climate news happening (because there is some, I promise!). Here's this weeks pick:The BBC Green Sport's Awards announced their winners (BBC)  Ban on single use plastic cutlery comes into force in England (BBC) Kate and Libby in The Sustainable(ish) Clubhouse both shared great examples of 'ripples':- Kate said "I met up with a lovely friend last night who is a huge fan of fast fashion and fast homewares, and she said that some of my social posts about “you don’t need to buy storage containers, you can reuse what you’ve got” has properly stopped her from buying loads of those kinds of things"- Libby shared "I just noticed that a few years ago, I was the only one on the street walking my kids to school. Now, there are normally 4 other families also walking their kids to school who used to drive every day. One of them commented a while back that she saw us walking and thought she should too."
