  • Summary

  • 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!
